A Doubtful Report.

The Providence Journal of yesterday con-
tanned a brief announcement that Hon. S. j.
Chadbourne, for several years Secretary of
State of Maine and at present deputy Secre-
tary of State, was drowned at Kent, r. l.,
Sunday. No particulars were given. The re-
port was telegraphed to the Associated Press
last night, but subsequently the despatch was
ordered cancelled as the report could not be
verified. A despatch to Augusta asking about
the story elected no information. The proba-
bilites are that the story is without foundation.
[LATER.]
A dispatch received from Augusta at 9
o'clock this morning says Mr. Chadbourne is
alive and at home.

Samuel Stillman West, who died in this city
last week, was native of Salem, son of the
late Deacon Samuel West, bookseller. He
had been absent from Salem for many years.
He had rare musical gifts and was valued
member of the still remembered Mozart So
ciety and Salem Glee Club His voice was Of
that high tenor called counter" in those days,
very rare then, and almost unknown now.
The mingling of his voice with the magnif-
cent and melodious bass of the late Major Will
liam Brown afforded rare treat to the lovers
of music in the old days, His last sickness
commenced with a shock Of apoplexy, and he
was sick almost two weeks. He was also a
member OF the Handel and Haydn Society of
Boston and a church vocalist He was re-
markably active and vigorous man up to the
time of his illness, and would not have been
taken to be more than fifty years of age. He
saves a wife and four children who deeply
,ourn their loss. For nine years Mr.. West
Sorked in Hall L. Davis book bindery, as a

Miss Annie Louise Cary received letter
from Mr.. j. NJ. Mapleson, manager of Her
Majesty's Opera Company, on Saturday last,
urging her to reconsider her determination not
to sing in opera. He claims she is now in her
prime, and that it will be time enough to think
about retiring when anybody appears capable
of occupying any portion of her shoes. He
urges her to sing in his company the coming
season, and shall want her to sing in London
the next season, and says if she has made con-
cert arrangements they can easily be dove
tailed in with the operate performances. For
all Mr.. Mapleson's kindness Miss Gary will
probably decline to sing in opera.

Return of the Atrato Expedition.


The Atrato expedition returned Saturday
night and the members were in the city yes
terday with the exception of Mr.. Simonton,
who remains at Quibdo in charge of the COM
pany's property. The report of the expedi-
tionists will be made to the company at the
meeting tomorrow. Since the letter of Mr..
Simonton, published on the Goth, the expedi-
ton has devoted itself to prospecting the vari-
GUS rivers. The members state that every
river ON the east side of the Atrato for 200
miles, and on the west side for rs miles, is
rich in gold. The reports of the unhealthiness
of the climate have been much exaggerated.
Three members of the expedition have been
sick, but none seriously, and all are now in
good condition. There is no reason to believe
that the rivers cannot be worked as we'll at
one season of the year as another, except per-
haps during the fall rains. The rain comes
mostly at night, and but little by day. In the
mountains the climate is delightful and
healthy.The stories of the richness of the coun-
try in fruits, valuable timber, &C., the expedi-
tionistS saw have not been exaggerated

Engagement.
We were surprised, In consequence Of the
| exceedingly disagreeable weather, to see
| the Theatre last evening occupied by a very
fine sudience-the lower part OF the house
being well filled and the family circle and
gallery crowded. This audience, under the
circumstances, was quite a compliment
to tie popular young actor, Oliver
DOud Byron. The exciting drama, "Across
the Continent" which was received with
great favor last season, was presented, and
If possible, in better style, the new members
OF this combination being fine artists. The
Character Of the play is so well known that it
is only necessary to say that each character
was well represented, and that Mr.. Byron
as the ''Ferrltt," and Miss Kate Byron as
'Louise," gained additional laurels. The
speciality business in the saloon scene was
the best in the variety line that has
been seen this season. Charles Banks,
Radcliffe and Joe Banks are perfect team
and were complimented by the most en-
thusiastic applause. The cigar song Of
Radcliffe has never been equalled, and to
be appreciated must be seen and heard.
The drama aboundsin startling situations,
sensational but not unnatural, and pro-
crossed smoothly throughout the four acts.
II the Unstinted applause of the house be
criterion, every one was Pleased and de-
lighted.
This evening Mr.. Byron will give as bis
farewell the new play "Ten Thousand Miles
Away" a sequel TO "Across the Continent"
and, Of course, all who have seen the latter
will desire to see the new piece, and a good
house may be expected.
This afternoon a grand matinee will
be given for the special benefit of ladies and
children, when "Across the Continent +"
will be repeated. The performance will
commence at , O'Clock price of admission
I 50 and % cents. The opportunity to see
it should not be neglected by those who
wish to be well entertained and see athrilling
drama whichis a good moral lesson.

Lecture on missionary travels.

Last evening, in the lecture room of the
Independent Presbyterian Church, the Rev.
j. Paterson, from Glasgow, Scotland, de-
livered lecture on the incidents and ad-
ventures connected with his extensive travels
through the world. 1t would be difficult to
give in brief notice an account of his won
derful journeylngs, for they embrace Aus
tralia and all Its colonies, Tasmania, New
Zealand, India, Turkey, Burmah, Russia,
Finland, Italy, and, to crown all, Palestine,
He first dealt with his travels in Australia,
regarding which he gave much valuable In
formation. This was followed by an
interesting account of his visit to India.
He spoke first in reference to the regularity
of the yearly monsoon rains on which that
countrY's fertility so much depends, and
narrated many circumstances to show the
degradation and ignorance of its people,
and some facts, also, that indicated a COM
ing change for the better. Railways gov
eminent education, aud especially mission
airy teaching, was undermining the false and
hoary superstitions of the past. What a
glorious field, said the lecturer, for mis-
sionary enterprisel
The account OF his rencounter with the
tiger in Central India, and with the method
adopted for Tightening it, was very anus
ing.
Next came Mr.. Paterson's account of his
visit to the wonderful ruins of Nineyah and
Babylon. This was specially interesting,
from the fact that so few visit that first
paradise region. The remarkable proyi-
depces that accompanied this missionary In
this journey were we'll fitted TO encourage
those that would go into the ''region be-
yond." Next came his VISIT to Russia and
its great cities-Moscow and st. Peters
burg. Who that heard his account of the
state of matters In the Greek Church there
does not feel convinced that great refor-
nation is needed, both In the State
and In the Church? After this
came an account Of the mtssionaryis
interview with the King Of Burmah;
how he gave the King three bottles of CO.
logne water, and how the King gave him
800 rupeesi how he saw the King sitting on
his throne famed by peacock feathers in
the hand of one of his young queens!
After this came raey sketch OF his visit
TO Rome, Pompeii, Jerusalem and Bethle-
hem, and short sketch of his great jour
neys IL America since he crossed
the Atlantic In April, 1879, travels
that have extended through Canada and the
greater part of the United States. All pres
ent, and there was large gathering eonsid-
ering the tnelemeney OF the evening, seemed
to enjoy the lecture. Mr.. Paterson leaves for
Florida to day and will return soon again to
the North, whence he crosses to Scotland.
We hope he will, by the equally in
teresting lectures on his experiences in
America, which he pFopOses to deliver there,
be the means of inducing desirable emigra-
ton to this country.
