nearly every year on my farm, and | am sure
that II pays me well. for in the years that did
not use il, my crops We're nearly failure. On

planted an acre to potatoes last June on inter-
vale land. using about large spoonful OF the
Phosphate i'm the hill, without any other ma

this beautiful and popular opera at Bangor and
elsewhere. That il will afford our citizens
an unusual treat We feel assured. The Opera
il highly spectacular and will be given with all

enlarged 10 accommodate the large chorus and
varied and attractive movement. we shall have
the pleasure Of the effects given by full size
stage. The advance sale Of seats 10 secure the
coming of the opera was readily obtained and
a full house seems assured already. The Som
erset Reporter speaking Of the Opera at Show
hogan says: The advance sale Of seats W -
the largest ever known here and in a half css
umn notice gives great praise 10 the prodlse-
ton Of the opera. We extract the following
MANY fine musical entertainments have been
given here but all who were in Coburn Hall
last evening on the occasion OF the production
Of Mr.. Newcomb's charming opera will cheer
fully accord TO him the triumph over all. The
opera is unlike anything ever seen here and
from beginning TO end held every one in rapt
attention. We never saw an audience more
attentive nor more enthusiastic. The setting
Of the first act with cave and rocks, made fhe
scene very effective. The stage was lighted
during the evening by calcium light and rs the
different eolors were thrown upon the various
semi-choruses in their beautiful and intricate
movements. most charming effects were pro-
duced. which elected the admiration Of all.
