sALSBURY'S TROUBADoURs.
There was a large audience present at Port
land Theatre last night to see the Troubadours
in "Green-room Fun, which gave expression
to their pleasure by constant laughter and
loud applause. The piece has not been re-
written, in the usual sense Of the word, but
there have been number of amusing situa-
atoms and gags, with bright songs, introduced,
thus frightening the interest in the play
Nate Salisbury is rs versatile, and Miss Nellie
McHenry as bright and clever as ever, while
Miss Hunter has good voice which she uses
with excellent effect Eneores were demand
cd to an alarming extent, and it was quite late
when the curtain fell on the third act. The
last performance viii be given tonight.
BARLOW, WILSON 4 co.
This favorite band Of minstrels will appear
at Portland Theatre next Monday and Taes-
day evenings, and the advance sale OF seats
yesterday was good. An exchange says !:
'Minstrelsy has such charm for the people
of this ancient borough that the rain of yester
day afternoon, and the elevation of tho storm
signal last night, were not sufficient to deter
them from yenturing into tho Academy Of
Music. Barlow, Wilson & Co. may we'll fe-
licitate themselves upon their reception. The
Academy was filed with multitude OF ar
preciative people, and they testified by unmis-
taxable methods the pleasure afforded them by
the popular airs of a superb orchestra, oasta-
net and tamhourlue effects, the melodies Of
the Clipper Quartette, approximations Of negro
character, dancing, and . long catalogue OF
new and refreshing spscialties. The audience
was large, refined and discriminating, and
this minstrel combination won unstinted APP
plause. They can safely repeat their call in
the assurance of q warm greeting from the
patrons of music and mirth."

notice in both the Northern and
Southern press that the attention of not
only our own people North, but also
foreigners, are turning their eyes and
thoughts southwark, with view of To-
eating there, more than perhaps any pc
Rod for many years; and, comparing
our State with the new western country,
where men 60 to earn and make homes,
it seems to me that there is more to gain
here than there. TO illustrate this, |
call to mind an instance in our own
neighborhood. Seven years ago Mr.
Jacob Fraker came here and bought an
old farm, ON which others had despaired
of making living, worth perhaps seven
or eight dollars per acre. In that time
he has, from the proceeds Of his own
labor and the products of his farm,
placed it under good fence, good barns
and dwelling house, orchards and vine.
yards, and everything for the comfort
of its owner, and brought the soil up to
a condition that enables him to sell
surplus Of grain, hay and other crops, to
the value Of two thousand dollars per
annum, and the value Of the land to
forty dollars per acre. | will say,
though. TINT there are few such farmers
in this State or any other. lie succeeds
where many others fail, because he does
everything right and at the right time.
! never knew him to make mistake in
managing his farm. He has sold his
farm to Mr.. Lichty, and is going back
to his other farms in Ohio. We are sor-
ry to lose him, as his example is worth
much to any community Of farmers.
This shows what can be done here,
and that there is no valid reason why
men cannot succeed here MS well as any
where. 1t is easier to build up these
old places than to 80 to Il new country
and hcw out homes on the borders Of
civilization. There every surplus dol
lar that is made for the first twenty-five
years has to go to build roads, bridges,
school-houscs, court-houses, railroads,
churches, and everything that pertains
to the structure Of society; while here,
all these things are ready for usc--the
sacrifice for these things having already
been made by former generation.
Those looking westward OF southwark
had better study this question. We
know what We are saying. We have
been there. BALE.
