highly appreciated, although half the audience
appeared to have caught cold, accompanied
with hacking cough. Even this was frequently
suppressed in the silence with which the many
pathetic scenes in Nicholas Nckleby, the terrible
pictures in Oliver Twist and Tale of Two Cities
were received. A general boom in the coughing
propensities accompanied the laughter that fol-
lowed the presentation of Mr.. Pickwick in all his

SUPERIOR COURT.
BEFORE JUDGE BoNNEY.

TuEsDAY-Oliyer Doughty, petitioner to have
deed signed by Laura +. Doughty to him affirmed
by the court there being no acknowledgement of
the deed by her and she having deceased. The
petition is resisted by the son of the grantor and
grantee who were husband and wife. The son
claims that his mother never intended to acknowl-
edge OF deliver the deed. The petitioner claims
that he owned real estate and his wife owned
other real estate; that they each gave the other
deed, putting the deeds in A. Whitmore's hands
to be delivered to the survivor; that at the time
of the execution of the deed in question the
scriyener's commission as magistrate had run out,
and the acknowledgment of the deed was post
,-ened until he should get it renewed and was not
thought of afterward. Decision reserved.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.



This powerful drama will be presented, both
dramatically and pictorially in excellent shape at
Portland Theatre, Friday and Saturday The
Brooklyn Times says: "a large audience greeted
the excellent company that appeared lasr night at
the Brooklyn Theatre, in Robert Buchanan's
strong drama of "Storm-Bcaten, and eyinced
their interest in that now popular play by fre-
quent applause, which, in the most critical scenes
as for example. Christians prayer for vengeance
and the meeting between the rivals on shipboard
actually interrupted the progress of the play.
The company differs materially from the one that
presented the drama last year Mr. Edmund Col
Tier and Mr.. E. L. Tilton being the only ones who
appeared in leading roles on both occasions. But
the company of this season challenges COMPARE
son with that of last year, and will bear the test
trumphantly.

My first acquaintance with the Health Lift was
two years ago. had then been compelled to re-
lnquish ministry on account of an entire prostra-
ton Of my nervous system, which had resulted in
an inability to sleep. / soon found that ten min
utes' exercise on the Health Lift did more to re-
lax the nervous strain, and induce sleep than
hours of walking in the open air, or than any ex-
ercse whatever. 1 use the Machine now, every

The work of surveying the line of the Interna-
tional Railroad is being rapidly pushed forward.
A force of some twenty men is assisting the engi-
neers, under charge of Mr.. Middleton, who, CON-
mencing near Roach Pond, on the east side of
Moosehead Lake, have now reached Pond, a
distance of eleven or elve miles toward the Pc
nobscot, which it is proposed to strike about four
miles above Mattawamkeag Point They report
that they find the route to be very favorable, both
as regards grade and directness. The point now
reached is about eight miles from Katahdin Iron
Works, which is the nearest point to which the
International road will approach the Katahdin
Iron Works railroad. AT the other end of the
line work is also being vigorously prosecuted, and
eleven miles are already graded this side the
State line. By the aid of the subsidy of $1,000
600 granted by the Canadian Government, the
work of building the road will be rapidly pushed
to completion.

MARINE DISASTERS.

A terrible storm is reported on
the Newfoundland coast in the
middle of June. Much shipping
were destroyed and many lives were
lost. 1t is considered the worst
storm that has visited the island in
forty years.
The French despatch boat Renard,
recently reported lost in the Indian
Ocean, foundered in q cyclone and
the whole of the crew, numbering
127 souls, were drowned.
The Italian steamer Italia has
been wrecked on the coast of Peru,
South America. The steamship
Puno brought SO survivors to Lima.
There are 40 persons missing, and,
so far as known, only eight passen-
gers were saved. The disaster was
due to wrong orders given by the
third officer, who has since commit
ted suicide. The purser acted hero
ically in trying to save passengers.
The p. NJ. $. S. City of Toxic
went ashore on Sagami Point, about
twenty-five miles from Yokohama,
on June 26th. Passengers, crew,
mails, treasure and part of the cargo
were saved. No information as to
insurance could be given at the
Office in San Francisco, from which
port the steamer sailed on June 2nd.
The City of Toxic was built in
Chester, Pa, in. 1874, by John
Roach, and has hitherto been most
fortunate vessel. She was of a
gross tonnage of $3.50; her length
was 423 feet, beam 4S feet and depth
27 feet. A few weeks ago she was
in Honolulu roadstead, having taken
heac the first instalment of Japanese
immigrants to this kingdom.

BRITISH POLITICS.

Soon after the members of the
Gladstone Ministry had retired from
Windsor Castle, on June oath, after
delivering the seals of office, the
members of the new Ministry formed
by the Marquis of Salisbury arrived
and went through the ceremony of
accepting Office from the Queen and
receiving the seals, making the act
of allegiance by kissing Her Ma
jesty's hand. Great crowds of peo-
pie assembled at the railway depot
in London upon the arrival of the
train bearing the new Ministry.
Mr.. Gladstone read to the House
of Commons the correspondence be-
tween himself and the Marquis of
Salisbury, relating to the deadlock,
and which was conducted through
the medium of the Queen. Mr..
Gladstone's letters convey to the
new Government assurances of sup
port OH the part of the Liberals, but
the ex-Premier, throughout the whole
correspondence, declined to make
any specific pledge.
Owing to the Parnellites refusing
to give up their seats, the Opposi-
tion benches in the House were
dcnsely crowded.
On June 25th, Sir Harding Gif-
fard, the new Lord High Chancellor,
took his seat upon the woolsack in
the House of Lords. The Marquis
of Salisbury was cheered as he en-
tered the House, and made short
address. He explained that the
Queen informed him it was her
opinion he might reasonably accept
office upon the assurances given by
Gladstone, Her Majesty at the same
time pointing out the serious injury
to the public service if settlement
was longer delayed or new complica-
tions should arise. The Marquis
said that he then, with the unani-
nous consent of his colleagues,
thought it his duty to assume office,
and he said the next four or five
weeks would show he had taken the
proper course. The Marquis, in
concluding his address, made an ap-
peal for the support of all good men.
The Lords adjourned until the
9th of July. In the House of Com
mons only formal business was done,
and an adjournment was made to
the 3rd of July.
