MUSIC AND DRAMA.
A TIN SOLDIER.

That Tompkins, Hoyt and Thomas's Tin
Soldier" will draw large audience to Port
land Theatre, Friday and Saturday, would
seem assured judging by the favor with
which Mr.. Hoyt's productions have always
been received here. An exchange says:
"Geo Wilson, the famous comedian from the
Boston Museum, plays the part of the plum
Der, and he has made it the leading eharac-
ter in the play. Miss Amy Ames, who plays
the part of the Irish help, sings as sweetly as
ever and her quiet by-play is very taking.
Dan Powers, favorably remembered here in
Dreams, is a brilliant assistant to the plum
Der, while Mrs. Gilberts as the young wife,
adds to the faculty of being an excellent ac-
tress, a charming voice. Miss Booth, the
young servant from the other family, is as
bright and vivacious las ever while Patsy is
delightfully."- played by a young lady whose
name has escaped us, but who is fine dan

A Story About Webster.

Ex-Governor Reuben E. Fenton, of New
York, was an excellent story teller. He had
droll, inimitable style which, added to his
general and personal acquaintance with the
great men of the country, made him an en-
tertaining conversationalist Some months
ago the writer heard the Ex-Governor relate
an anecdote never before published in which
Daniel Webster was the central figure. In
1850 Mr. Webster visited South Carolina, os-
tensibly to see the country, but in reality to
become better acquainted with the leading
Wings and set up his fences for the Presiden.

Sudden Death.

Yesterday noon Mrs. Mary Boyce, aged 65
years, wife of Minas Boyce, was found dead
in her bed at her home in Woodfords. The
woman had been in rather feeble health for
the past year or two but able to attend to her
household duties. Yesterday morning she
got breakfast for her husband and sons as
usual and they started out to their work. On
returning home to dinner the husband found
no preparations had been made for dinner,
and stepping into the bedroom found his
wife lying on the bed. He spoke to her but
received no answer and going up to the bed
found her cold in death. Coroner Gould and
Dr. Topliff were called and they decided that
apoplexy was the cause of death and that nc
inquest was necessary.
