TIE sToCKBRIDGE COURSES.
Yesterday we called attention to the great
amount of amusement offered to the public
at an astonishingly low figure in the regular
course Of Stoekbridge entertainments. We
showed that sixteen evenings amusement
was afforded for fifty cents an evening. IL
the public consult the advertisement Of the
Pops they will see an equally good class Of
amusements, eight entertainments, some of
them the same as is the Regulars, can be en-
joyed for 25 cents an evening, aud six mat
inees at the same price. The patrons of the
courses all over the State are securing their
seats now, and those who would be well-pro-
vided should be on hand at once.
HELD BY THE ENEMY.
Tonight Held by the Enemy" Gllette's
stirring play. will be presented at Portland
Theatre. The piece is based upon situations
common enough in our civil war and unfolds
to view the best rather than the worst ele-
ments Of human nature, the heroism, the de-
yoton, the magnanimity of soul which that
mighty conflict developed in the American
people, and which are surely better subjects
for the contemplation Of men and women of
sense than frivolity and sensuality and crime
as exhibited in brOthels, cutters and dens Of
thieves. In word Held by the Enemy" Is
a good play, IL 1t was written by Yankee
from Hartford instead of Sardou or D'Enne-
ry or Wills.

The Danger. Of Good samaritanism.

II would ~appearthat some little time
ago a man was driving a spring cart
in the neighborhood Of Hexham. On
the road he met a poor creature evil
IDENTIFY very i'll and too enfeebled to
walk. His appearance did not appeal
IN vain TO the sympathy Of the kind
hearted driver, who generously under
took to convey the dying wayfarer to
comfortable quarters. He assisted the
man into his cart, and vas proceeding
along the road, when whom should he
meet but an officer OF the inland rev.
enue. And a very lynx eyed officer
he was, too. The law was not to be
broken under his nose with impunity.
Here was a clear case without a doubt.
A passenger was being carried in an
unlicensed conveyance, and so our
zealous officer hurries off and lodges a
charge. For the offense the owner of
the spring cart had 10 appear at Hex
ham petty sessions this week.
II was not denied that he had given
a man a "lift" on the road, but in ex-
tenuation of this breach Of the law it
was stated that the passenger was in
such q sore emergency that he died on
the very next day after the incident
referred TO. The magistrates very
properly refused to become mere auto
matte registers of the law and dis
missed the case. Nobody ever sus-
pected that the heart of an inland
revenue officer was susceptible 10 SEN
timent The one who prosecuted in
this case is a man of authority, who
will have no straining of mercy. Like
Shylock, he claims that the Flaw al
lows il, and he is not going to be sat
isfed with anything less than the full
pound of flesh. He gave notice of an
appeal to the next quarter session. The
owner of the spring cart, between
trouble and expense, is being made to
pay a pretty penalty for his compass
sion. II should be an awful warning
of the danger of playing the good Sa-
marian with an untaxed cart. Dun.
