MUSIC AND DRAMA.
RIP VAN wINKLE.

hIf VAN W1NhLE
Mr.. Jefferson, appeared last evening at Port
land Theatre, before an exceptionally brilliant
audience in his masterpiece, Grip Van Win
kle." We have so many times commented on
Mr.. JeffelsGn's personation that it is ubneces-
sary for US to elaborate upon it hsre. His Rip
is kind, gentle, guileless, full OF kindness and
love; cheerful, quaint md droll, and he takes
our sympathy with him every step of the way.
We know he is a vagabond, thai his passion
for drink has wrecked his wife's happiness and
maize her shrew; has wasted his patrimony
and made his children beggars. And yet, despite
our knowledge of all thiP, the sobs rise in our
threats when Gretchen turns him ont into the
storm, and when, an old man, all turn from
him and reject him. The audience last night
dwelt on every word, and were thoroughly
magnetised. They called Mr.. Jefferson before
the curtain, and agreed that they had never
passed more agreeable evening.
THE BLACK FLAG.
Tonight the first performance of this melo-
drama, which had so long run in New York,
will be presented in Portland Theatre. 1t is
not an over sensational or blood curdling play
as the title indicates, bat strong, interesting
domestic drama, full of situations of the most
absorbing nature, and demonstrating the high
est attainments of the artist in the beauty of its
scenery. The play too, is the work of one of
the foremost dramatic authors, aud represents
all the elements which add to the popularity
of the drama and the enjoyment OF thu audi
ence, while affording plentiful opportunity for
excellent character acting. Mr.. Thorne comes
to as with the highest encomiums as an actor,
and the cast is said to be exceptionally strong.
FUN ON THE BRISTOL.
The sale of seats wsll begin at the box Office
today This remarkably amusing extravaganza
will be put on the boards by Mr.. Rices compa-
ny in fine style. New scenery brought with
the troupe will be used, and much sparkling
music introduced. The piece will be given
Monday and Tuesday evenings.
NOTES.
Mr.. Winch, the American tenor, made his
London debut Wednesda, evening, aud made

merit. Among the audience were John l..
Toole, Lawrence Barrett, Charles Wyndham,
Lolita, aud Misses Eastlake, Faithful and
Fortescue. Henry Welcome gave brilliant
reception at Princes Hotel 10 Mr. Winch.
Four hundred artists of literary. theatrical and
muslcsi lame were present Mr.. Winch sang

Bowdoin hazing case was received from the law
court yesterday 1t will be remembered that at the
first trial the jury disagreed and at the second trial
the plaintiff received verdict of $500. The de-
cision sustains exceptions and grants new trial.
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
RescripL by Virgin 1.-THE opinion in this case
holds that the testimony of misconduct the part
of some of the defendants before and after the as
sault tending to show combination among them
should have been limited in its application to those
defendants against whom such acts of prior subse
quent misconduct were proved.
And that the refusal of the court at the trial to
give the instruction requested by the defendants
that evidence of such prior subsequent miscon-
duct on the part of any of the defendants is not
evidence against the other defendants not partci-
pating in the assault was error.
Exceptions sustained.

The World OF Agriculture.

The Agricultural World, one of
the best, II not the best farm papers
of its class, is making a great sue
cess OF the plan inaugurated by Its
editor few years ago. This plan is
nothing less than the giving of ex-
haustive articles by the best writer's
on agriculture in all the countries
of the world. The articles from the
different States and Territories of
our own country are particularly in
structive and entertaining. Judge
Parrish's articles an "The Farmers
Relation to Law" are alone worth
the price of the paper. Judge Par
rish, who is one of the ablest judges
aud lecturers in the West, will soon
leave for the South, with the view OF
supplying the paper with series of
articles on the agricultural features
of that section. This journal also
has fine household department,
which makes it particularly attract
i've to lady readers. The price of
the Agricultural World (now in its
tenth year, is only one dollar per
snnum (26 numbers). In clubs Of
five, so cents each. Six months, so
cents; three months, 40 cents. Sam
