Ingoniar.
Our theatre goers have great treat in
store for them on Christmas day, when
"Ingomar, the Barbarian,n is to be pre-
sented at the Portland theatre by
strong company headed by Mr.. e. P. Sui
livan and Miss Martha Conway.
"Ingomar'' was first produced at the
Drury Lane theatre, London, nearly
fifty years ago, and has been included in
the repertoire of all the famous stars
since that time. 1t was translated from
the German by Maria.Lovell, and isssa five
act romantic drama.
Parthenia, the heroine, was favorite
part with Mary Anderson, and is one of
beautiful Julia Marlowe's best pieces of
work. Miss Martha Conway, who will
play the part, is stranger to Portland
audiences; but comes here with SPLEEN
did reputation. She is young, shapely
and beautiful, making an ideal Greek
maiden.
The sale of seats is progressing rapidly
at the box Office.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.

At this festive season of the year, a
season at which each man vies with
his neighbor in the making of some gift
o'the members of his immediate family
and friends, it is peculiarly fitting, shat
the UNIQUE advantages of Life Insur.
ance should be kept in view. The ten
dency of the age is to be PRACTICAL.
and it is therefore worthy of note by
those who contemplate making holiday
presents, that nothing can exceed for
beneficence and solidity Life Policy
which will in the event of the death of
the bread-winner protect the Home and
afford nurture and sustenace to the
bereaved, be they old or young. 1t does
not require any very vivid flight of
imagination to comprehend the possibili-
ties of fifty-fold return consequent up
on an outlay for the acquisition of Life
Insurance.; whereas, similar outlay up
on something more pleasing to the eye
and possibly of perishable or breakable
nature could not afford the solid and
lasting benefit to be obtained by and
through policy in the Union Mutual,
possession which no family should lack
but one which should be treasured in
every home. dec23eodtf

Mr.. Daveis, in conformity with this

A Cattle Rush.

The great pressure of incoming frei ght
over the Grand Trunk, and the crowding
of the yard" here, resulted in some
little trouble for the Boston & Maine. A
large mum Der of cars loaded with cattle
arrived for shipment on the Monaghan
and Texas, but could not be received.
One train reached the yard before the
rush was discovered, and the other was
held for the time. 1t had been supposed
that the cattle would be at once put on
board, and no provisions had
been made for feeding them.
Mr.. Eben N. Perry. as the
friend of those who cannot speak for
themselves" and in the name of his
society notified all concerned, that if
held on the train beyond the proper time,
the cattle must be fed Those in charge
satisfied Mr.. Perry that they had been
fed but short time before, and the
Grand Trunk people hustled to clear the
way for them. Before the close of
the day the cattle destined for the Mon
gollan were on board, and during the
evening those for the Texas were taken
from the cars and given their first ex-
perience on the water. The wharves
and the Grand Trunk yard will well re-
pay visit, If any one is anxious to see
how work can be got through with we'll
