himself by eating, as he takes an increased

A Strange Performance with a Cor,

Strange Performance with a Corpse.
A Bangor dispatch to the Boston Post says
that few weeks since an old lady of respecta-
Bile family connections, living in the neighbor-
ing town of Orono, was taken ill and died.
Living in the same house were two maiden
ladies of somewhat advanced age and of &C.
centric habits. After the death of the old
lady the two old maids placed the corpse in
cold place that it might be frozen. 1t was
kept there for several days, as the story goes
until it was frozen stiff. In the mean time it
was noised about that the old lady had died,
but no funeral services having been held,
much curiosity began to be manifested by the
towns people as to what had been done with
the remains. On the ninth day after the
death of the old lady resident of the village
visited the house where the death had occur
red, which was situated at some distance from
the village proper, and TO her great horror
found the corpse upon lounge in the house,
shawl over it, and on its head q hood. A
hot brick was at its feet. The two old maids
were sitting by as nnconcerned as though
nothing unusual had happened. When asked
what they meant by such strange actions
they replied in substance that they dressed
up the old lady so as to have her look natural %
"She looked kind of cold," added one of the
old maids, "and SO l thought I'd just put that
ERE brick to her feet" The visitor fastened
back to town and reported her discovery, and
the old lady's remains were subsequently
buried with proper ceremony.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
BARNEY MACAULEY.

BARNEY MACAULEH
The Messenger from Jarviss Section" was
repeated at Portland Theatre last evening and
gave as much pleasure as on the preceding
night. The more one sees Mr.. Macauley's as
sumption of Old Uncle Dan'l the more is he
impressed with its many excellences. An
other trustworthy feature of the play is that
while the other parts do not require great act
ing, yet they are so quietly but effectively rem
dered as to greatly heighten the illusion. We
hope now that Mr.. Macauley ard Miss Glenn
have found their way here they will come
again.

NOTES.
The Philadelphia North American says Miss
Anna Dickinson will play Claude MelnOtte at
the Chestnut Street Opera House this week on
the Off nights from Salvlni. Satisfactory ar
rangements were concluded Friday, and Anna
will give Philadelphia the first opportunity of
seeing her in her new departure. To get an
idea of the good things Philadelphia enjoys we
can say that this evening, for example, Signor
Salvini plays the Gladiator simultaneously
with Mile. Bernhardt's only appearance in ''La
Princesse Georges" and with the only repre-
sentatien by the ideal Opera Company of
"Fatinitza''
