Mr.. Fellows is daily in receipt of letters of
enquiry from various parties, respecting his Syr-
up of Hypophosphites. One recently received,
leads to the belief that the public mistake his
meaning in reference to its effect in imparting
superior energy to the mind. Where the in
tellect has been impaired by overwork or by
kindred causes the use of the Syrup, together
with proper precautions in the use of food,
clothing, exercise and rest, will restore full
power to the brain and nerve. Superiority of
genius consists in great capacity of brain for
assimilating material from every quarter, and
of developing in proportion; bus as by far the
greater number are not well endowed by ma
ture, consequently lacking this capacity, it
would be quite impossible to find Uranium
space for material necessary to constitute the
brilliant genius Hence, although the Syrup
will assist in restoring the mind which is lost,
it cannot change natural born idiot into an
intelligent man. ap13T, F&w1w

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE SILVER SPOON,

Probably there is no living comedian who
has such hold on the popular sentiment of
New England as William Warren, and there
is probably no play in which he has obtained
greater popular celebrity than ''The Silver
Spoon. The play simply represents the adj
ventures OF countryman of means and age
who has been elected to represent his con-
stituents at the general court at Boston
while he is at the Hub. Mr.. Warren presents
this character as only he can. There is no ex-
aggeration: all is natural and finished, and vet
the characterization is exceedingly funny. Mr..
Warren is most ably supported in the play, es-
pecially by Mrs. Vincent as Mrs. Partridge land
jimmy King as the negro servant. Two per-
formances will be given at Portland Theatre,
respectively, tonight and Friday night. The
sale OF seats has been very large. Miss Clarke
and Mr.. Brown will appear in "My Uncle's
Will.'

Speaking of this company, which will ap-

er Slows Uncle Toms Cabin work univer-
sally read and admired by all classes, includ-
ing the the Clergy and Christian people of all
creeds. In its dramatic form it has received
the endorsement of all. as being true picture
of life in the South 30 years ogo. Wherever it
is presented by this organization the largest
halls are crowded and hundreds often tnrned
away, unable to obtain admission. The large
audiences seem in full sympathy with the
moral of the story, and weep at the death of
Eva, sympathize with poor Uncle Tom, laugh
at the vagaries of Topsy, and pay tribute to the
wonderful woman who has given to the world
this acknowledged trne picture of life among

PALESTINE, Angus. 81 1850.
Last evening about o'clock the usual
quiet of the town was suddenly broken by the
sound of cannon, and knowing no cause
for any unusual demonstration, your cor.
respondent assumed hat and stick and pro-
ceeded in search OF information. 1t was
developed that the candidates for the various
county offices would address the people. We
were not in time to hear the speech of the
Rev. Mr.. Parker, candidate for the legisla-
ture, but understand that he gave quite sat.
isfactory account of his actions during the
term of the last legislature. Heis the present
representative, and urged his claims on ten
able grounds for reelection. Mr.. Blount,
the opposing candidate, followed. He re-
viewed the acts of Mr. Parker as a member,
and then spoke to most prominent issues
now before the people He opposed the pub
lie free school law as it now is, Directing to
its costly machinery and general lnetficiency.
Next he addressed himself to the bell-punch
law and strongly advocated its repeal, and
return to the old license system. Hetold the
people that he favored the Sunday law; said
it was good law, operating equally on
all men and all classes. While
thus heartily endorsing the Sunday law,
the wagon in which he was standing and from
which he was speaking began to move, and
speedily carried the orator away at the rate
Of about ten milesau hour. He soon returned,
however, and finished his speech. NJ.
Reeves, for the office of county attorney,
then ascended the rostrum, and soon had
the crowd in roar with his amusing anec-
otes, He was at one time interrupted
by Mr.. Reagan, opposing can
didate, and some feeling was in
volved, but matters were soon happily ad-
Indicated. The arrival Of the train prevent
ed our hearing the reply of Mr.. Reagan, but
from his well known ability, his force and
nuency as speaker, there is no doubt that
his effort abundantly satisfied his friends.
Both of these gentlemen are well qualified
and would look to the interest ot b county.
The first primary election is prog ing TO-
day will send you result as soon It's q, @ red.
