know what to do Night began to fall and still
he wandered aimlessly about AT length he
became wearied out and lay down by the side
of an unoccupied building on side street on
Munjoy hill. There he wentfast asleep, never
minding the rain which pattered on his up
turned face. Mr. Joseph Adams, who resides

a small but efficient orchestra led by Mr.. Il. a.
Bachelor of Portland. The church was well
filled at the concert on Wednesday evening,
although light rain storm prevented a larger
attendance. The programme was long ana
varied one, consisting of vocal anthems, songs,
duets, trios, quartettes, &C., and selections py
the orchestra. The choruses and the other
portions of the programme were all well and
effectively rendered. Where all did SO well 1t

Saccarappa.


The water was drawn out of the mill pond
between the two dams on Sunday, SO that the
abutment of the new railroad bridge could be
built
On last Saturday, as some small boys in the
Rocky Hill district were throwing stones, a
five year old son of Sewall Leighton was
struck by one Of them in the eye with such
force as to completely shatter the eyeball. On
the following day DR.. Holt was summoned
from Portland and the eye was removed from
its socket by him.
The money that was stolen from Mr.. Duftor
last week, and about which several items ap-
peared in the daily papers, was found last Sun
day IN the bottom of the river near where the
workmen were building the bridge abutment.
The supposition is that some boy stole the gold
and, fearing discovery, threw it into the river.
There were some $67 worth fonnd, which was
within few dollars of the whole amount
stolen.
A meeting was held on Wednesday evening
in Weston Hall to devise ways and means for
the establishment of public library.
Tenement houses are being constructed in
all quarties of the village, preparatory to
prospective increase of population in the

Hearn's Reception.

Hearn, the photographer, has located his
gallery and studio in the new Dow block, on
Congress street, over the elegant store OF Mil
lett & Little. Last evening large party OF
our best known citizens visited the new rooms
by invitation of Mr.. Hearn and passed very
pleasant evening, the brilliancy and beauty in
doors contrasting strongly with the fog, rain
and general discomfort out Of doors
The studio is located on the front Of the
block in the second story, 1t is an apartment
about twenty feet square, well lighted by day
by large plate glass windows and by elegant
gasaiers at night. The papering, draperies,
carpet and furniture are all of the richest de-
scription harmonizing perfectly. Here is
large and elegant frame, said to be the largest
known, measuring seven by six feet in sze,and
containing $50 pictures in all sizes, from the
ordinary to the panel, all taken in the highest
style of the art. The beautiful picture of
Nine. Majerorn, that called forth so much ap-
probation when exhibited at Davis. will be
found on the wall of this studio, along with
very charming child's face in pastel, and a
charming picture Of little daughter of Mr..
Snow.
Up stairs, in the third story, is splendid
apartment for an operating room, with an i'm
| mense skylight, the size of the apartment, 30
x 80 feet. Blinds are arranged SO as little or as
| much light can be obtained as is desirable. Off
| of the operating room is a large room, with
south and west light, for the chemical drying
room, very pretty ladies' parlor, beautifully
| furnished and provided with all conyeniences;
dark closet with ventilatoys to carry off all
poisonous odors, and two large finishing rooms.
One of the latter was, last evening, devoted to
| Grimmer's orchestra who provided most de-
| lightful concert from 8 to 9 o'clock. After
that hour the operating room, which is provid-
| ed with a beautiful inlaid floor was devoted to
dancing, and the orchestra played round dance
after round dance till midnight to the delight
| of the devotees of Terpsichore.
The rooms were all of them adorned pro-
| fusely with lovely flowers last evening in all
designs, and towards the close of the reception
| an elegant collation. was served.
Mr.. Hearn IS, without doubt an artist Of
great ability, and in his beautiful quarters will
receive large share of the public patronage.

Governors Foot Guard

The Hartford Sunday Journal says: 1t is
rumored in Foot Guard circles that Capt S
E. Hascall intends to resign his commission
very soon, after eighteen years service in the
command Lieuts. Pratt, Naedele and
Dwyer, it is said, will not accept promotion
and the field is open. Ensign Clark has been
mentioned forcaptain if a vacancy occurs. At
present he is adjutant of the battalion and it
is doubtful il he would leave SO acceptable
position. BE is very popular with the men
and would make good captain. Sergeant
Major Charles E. Gilbsrt has also been men
toned. He has always taken deep interest
in the corps and in social position and military
knowledge is well qualified for command.
The last one named for the position is Com
missary Sergeant Albert Warwick, of the
firm of Shannon and Warwick, druggists. He
is not so well known to the Guard as the
other gentlemen mentioned, but he has prob
ably had more military experience than
either. He was formerly lieutenant in the
Portland Cadets and during the last political
campaign commanded the Bulkley Guards

Tonight there will be a large audience pre-
sent at the first performance of Gilbert and
SulIivan's new opera of Patience" at the
Portland Theatre. The tickets have been in
demand, and the company-the Grayson Opera
Company-are we'll spoken of in their produc-
ton of the "Mascotte." The Boston journal
said of their production of the latter opera:
'The cast is the same as when they were at the
Globe Theatre, Helen e. H. Carter, Helen
Grayson J. T. Dalton, Sidney Q. smith and
Wallace Allen appearing in their former parts,
the only change being the substitution OF MISS
Helen Grayson as the Prince, role which the

The performance throughout elected great
deal of applause and enthusiasm and all tie

UNCLE DAN'L.
The tickets are selling we'll for Barney Nc
Auley's performance Of "Uncle Danl' to take
place at Portland Theatre next Monday and
Tuesday. The New York Tribune says; "This
work is not unknown here, and those who have
seen it are aware that it affords Mr.. McAuley
the opportunity to impersonate with rough nat
ural power, and with touches of both tender
ness and humor, augged old couhtrymah,
bent on a mission of justice and benevolence
Mr. McAuley is an actor of large experience
entirely sincere in spirit and straightforward
and effective in his professional methods. He
invests the play with personal force and in
terest SO that the spectator comes away with
pleasing remembrance of downright manl1-
ness, huomrous craft, many homelike attri-
butes and associations and considerable thea
trical ingenuity.
NOTES.
Robert Planquette, the well known composer
of Normandy Chimes, has just finished the
two first acts of an opera bouffe, founded on
the play of Rip Van Wrinkle, taken from
Washington Irving's delightful story. Robert
Planquette has not, however, thought it neces-
sary to state the source from which his piece,
which he calls by the absurd name OF Rlp-hlp,
is taken.
Provost, Mapleson's new tenor, has voice
of great range, even timbre, clear and reson-
ant, of agreeable quality, and considerable pow
er He captdred New York with his high Q
in "Di quella pira'' but he is very young and
knows little about singing according to the
Tribune.

The Provident Association.

Mr. j. R. Thompson, general agent of the
Portland Provident Association, has received
the following letter from Thomas Tash,
superintendent of schools:
Allow me to express to you, and through
you to the Providept Association OF this city,
the great obligation | feel under in behalf OF
the INDECENT children of this city, OF school
age, for the great assistance the society have
been to these children in providing needed
articles of clothing for them on the condition
that they should regularly attend the public
schools the last winter. Without the recep-
tion of this charity these children would have
been either absent from school altogether or
very irregular in their attendance. Assistance
in this form TO the INDECENT young, to aid
and encourage them to acquire a primary
school education, is certainly most direct
means to enable them to become selfsupport-
ing, and to keep them from vicious habits. !
therefore bespeak for your society liberal aid
from generous citizens to assist IN carrying on
during the approaching winter, this and
other benevolent work.
