play will be repeated every evening during
the week and at matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday"
To put it briefly, the entertainment Of
the Library Association, ut the Methodist
church last night, was very nice affair
II was a free entertainment and the church
was comfortably filed with people, though
the weather was disagreesble, The pro.
gramme as published comprised exercises
of high order, by persons of acknowledged
ability, and it is hardly necessary to say
that is execution, though with some chang
es was attended by the audience with
much pleasure, from the beginning to it's
close. The entertainment opened with a
vocal duet beautifully rendered by Miss
Mamie Corliss and Mr.. Crowell. Mrs. II.
II. Candee's annual address was interesting
IN matter and in manner. A sweet little
poem by Miss Mary Mckee, entitled "The
Vanished Year." was nicely read by Mss
Bette Kogsemeyer, Miss Mckee being too
seriously indisposed to read it herself.
Prof. Clark read paper relating to the
Public Library, in which be advanced some
thoughts, tue force Of which must have
been felt by every mind. He considered
the public library as one of the most i'm.
portant and powerful civilizing agencies,
taking up the work of educating the rising
generation where the public schools left

to the ladies who founded the Library as.

so much success, His paper was listened
to with marked interest by ali. Miss Mary

evident pleasure of the audience. AN.
swers,' a vocal solo by Mrs. Lsnsden, the
trio by Miss Annie Pncher, Prof Clark
and Mr., Metcaf, and subsequently another
solo by the former, were gems Of music and
aud the mention Of the names OF the sing.
ers will be 4 sufficient guarantee to all who
know them, that the execution was above
criticism. But one OF the finest features Of
the entertainment, If any distinction be
made, was the annual poem by MIS-
George, displaying that richness Of thought
aud grace Of expression peculiar to sll this
laiY's productions. The entertainment,
was decided success, though there
was some dlsappoint because of the sb.
sence Of Mrs. W. p Halliday, who with
Miss Annie Pitcher, WAS to have sung
duet. The entertainment closed at 10 80
o'clock aud everybody must have gore
home in most agreeable frame OF mind
an1 with new impulses for good.

THE GUILLoTINE.

Huoy, ihe French Murderer, Beheaded at
Versailles.
PARIS, Oct. 3.-The man Huay, who was
convicted Of having murdered an old lady and
her bonne at Dourdan, last April, and of hav-
ing stolen her silver plate, was guillotined
Monday, at Versailles Huoy, who was arous-
ed at o'clock in the morning, refused to eat
his breakfast, and declined rudely the proffer-
ed consolation of priest. He asked for pen,
ink and paper, and wrote two letters, one of
which to his brother, directed that all his eff
fects be given so the first really poor man that
the brother happens to meet. The second let
ter was addressed to the President Of the Re-
public, and it is as follows:
eighteen dead bodies are buried in cellar
at the corner of the rue des Journeaux and the
porte de Versailles
Huoy, who is near-sighted then gave his
silver spectacles and a pair of buckled shoes to
one of his jailers, who is also near-sighted. At
$50 o'clock he was put into the guilotine cart
and driven slowly to the Point Calbert, where
the gu otne had been erected. He stepped
out of the cart, pale but plucky. The Able
Caarbet again offered his mediation, and held
toward him crucifx, but Huoy persisted in
his refusal to have anything to do with the
Able, and declined to kiss the crucifix. Huoy
was thick-set, robust man, 55 years of age,
with pepper and salt beard. He wore
brown corduroy suit and coat. This was re-
moved on the scaffold, and he stood in a blue
and white striped shirt M. Diebler, the exc
cutioner, accompanied Huoy to the scaffold,
and, stepping in front of the condemned man,
seized his grey, bushy hair in both hands, and
compelled the prisoner to advance his head un-
der the axe. Then he simultaneously pressed
the button of the lunette and theEbntton of the
axe drop, the prisoners head rolled into the
wooden bucket, half-filled with sawdust, and
the body fell into the basket. The operation
lasted exactly 2 minutes and 2seconds. About
800 spectators were present, the majority of
whom were women and young girls Huoy
came of good criminal stock. When IS years
old, he was sentenced to the galleys to five
years hard labor, together with his father, for
coming false money. His grandfather was
highwayman.

SOCIETY OF ART.
Private View of the Fall Exhibition.

The rooms of the above named society were
filed last evening with members, their friends.
and representatives of the press, on the occa-
sion of the opening of the annual exhibition
of the association, which consists of collec-
tion of steel portrait engravings, executed by
artists whose names stand at the head of the
profession in their line of work. 1t may
perhaps be surprising to many who are familiar
with exhibitions of engravings and etchings in
our metropolitan cities when we say that there
are but one or two similar collections in this
country (if indeed there be any which are in
all points of excellence the equals of this one
In these days of fine exhibitions of works of
art it is gratifying to our public pride to be
able to fall into line with our neighbors and
give to our citizens an exhibition which will
rank as one of the exhibitions of the year; and
it is no less gratifying to us that this rare and
valuable collection belongs in Portland, and
that its owner, possessing generous public
spirit, opens it thus freely for the pleasure of
all who wish to see it. At the present time,
when the art idea is rapidly becoming an
acknowledged factor in our daily lives, the
throwing open to the public of collection like
the above must exert an educational influence
in the right direction on all who may ba
brought into contact with it. 1t is not possible
at this time to give more than passing notice
of the many rare and excellent examples
shown, but one or TWO of the more important
ones claim mention here. The first of these,
and probably the choicest one in the Whole
collection, is the one numbered % on the cata-
logue, Philip De Champagne, by the celebrated
engraver Edelinck. This head is considered
by connosseurs the finest piece of portrait
engraving ever done, and this particular print
is from the plate in its first state and is very
rare. Ranking next to this and in some re-
spects surprising it, we think, particularly in
the execution of the face, is Longhis' Eugene
Beauhamais, while still another fine example
is Peter Drevet's (the younger) portrait of
Adrienne LIE Couvreur as Cornelia Among
other noted names represented are those of
Raphael Morghen (engraver of La Fourna
rince,) Cornelius Visscher, and francesca
Bartolozzi, in themselves sufficient guarantee
of the quality of the exhibition.
The rooms will be open daily from a. On.
till 10 p. m. until October 10Th.

COMMITTEE HEARING.
Capt. Knowltons Petition for a Skating
Rink Granted.

meeting Of the committee on new wooden
buildings was held in the aldermsns room
yesterday afternoon, to take action upon the
petition Of Capt. G. Fl. Knowlton to erect
roller skating rink at the corner of Federal
and Church streets. Alderman Hawkes..
Chairman of the committee, read protest
against granting the petition, signed by citi-
zens residing and owning property in the yicin-
ity of the proposed site of the rink.
j. B. Crockett appeared for the remonstrants,
He thought skating rink on that lot was a
great injury to property adjoining. 1t was not
suitable thing for that neighborhood; it cre-
ated great noise, which was kept up till late in
the night. For his part, he preferred to see
stable and one hundred horses on the lot, to
skating rink. He thought, too, that the music
from the band would be annoying.
Mr.. Marwick-I told you the other night
you had no music in your soul.
Hon. j. ii. Drummond said he appeared, mot
In the interest of either party, but for the in
surance companies. He objected to the multi
tnde OF wooden buildings that are constantly
going up, on account of the great additional
risk from fire; said he should have objected
strenuously to the one now building. corner of
Congress and Pearl streets, had he been in the
city. His company (Union MutuaD had erect
ed fine building. and did not like to see so
many wooden ones going up around it or in its
immediate vicinity. Mr.. Drummond was sur
prised to learn that petitions for erecting
wooden buildings were granted SO freely, and
thought the committee should exercise greater
care. He did not object to the proposed skat-
iag rink because it was to be rink, but be-
cause it added to the dangers to be feared from
fire.
Alderman Tukesbury said there was consid-
cradle feeling in the neighborhood against the
rink; that. conducted as rinks usually are, it
would not only be an annoyance, but a damage
to property-both from the noise of the skates
and the music-one could hear the rumbling
as far away as across the Park.
Capt. Knowlton said he proposed to put up
building 15 feet high, 10 wide and 115 long; it
will be double-boarded, sheathed inside, and
clapboarded on the outside, handsomely paint
ed, and the rink floor be on the ground The
building would be heatep by steam, generated
from boilers in the cellar, and being one story
and in one room the risk from fire would be
slight. He proposed to have music three
nights week-if the rink paid.
After a little play on words between Messrs.
Warwick and Crockett, the committee voted
to grant the petition.

The Barron Case.

Following are several of the more important
portions of the report made in Bangor Tues
day by the auditors in the Barron case.
From the general cash book of the bank,
left by Mr.. Barron on February %, 1878, the
day of his death, there was, or should have
been. cash on hand belonging to the bank and
received by him as treasurer from different
persons and sources, amounting in the whole
to 81 ,048.99 and that in reality there was de-
positeo in the national bank $643.52 and on
hand at the savings bank only $3065, making
$675 II, leaving balance due the bank from
the Baron estate of 1876 81.
In the bill of particulars the bank made al
lusions to certain Especial deposits alleged to
have been received from different persons.
The auditors decide the defendant is liable in
the amount of these special deposits amount.
ing to the sum of $65255.
One of the most important items was that of
the United States bond amounting to $500 en-
tered by Mr.. Barron on his books February
20, just prior to his death, and which the
plaintiffs have alleged was fictitious and
fraudulent entry. The auditors are reluct-
antly constrained to conclude that no such
bond was purchased and that this item of
plaintiffs claim is sustained.
One of the claims of the plaintiffs which
involved only a little money but is neverthe-
less of some interest is that of the Rocklan1
bonds. The bank claims that April II, 1872,
Baron purchased $1,000 of Rockland City
bonds with bank funds and that no entry of
this was made till August IL, of the same
year, the interest on these bonds from April
Is to August 12 remaining in Mr.. Barron s
hands. The auditors therefore report that
$38.33 is due on this item.
