A NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
PUBLIC COURT TRIAL IN THE NOR
WAY OPERA HOUSE.

Among the most popular and success
full entertainments of the times are the
mock court trials, given under the d.
rection OF an expert-Col. A. V. Newton
Of Worcester, Mass. Nearly every city
in New Euglsnd, as well as many In
various other parts OF the country have
been greatly excited over them, as at
tested by the lengthy and favorable re-
ports In the leading newspapers, and
best OF all by the great audiences that
have packed the largest halls and opera
houses to the doors. In many places
every seat has been sold In advance and
many have been turned away unable to
he accommodated. Such was the case
Ia Portlsud last winter where the enter
tainment was given before an audience
of 200o, 1t being easily the hit OF the
season.
One Of these popular entertainments
will be given under the auspices OF Pen
nesseewassee Lodge, No. Is, X. Of P, In
the Norway Opera House, Thursday
evening, August 23d.
IL will be assumed that prominent
citizen has paid more or less attention
to a young and beautiful widow Of Nor
way, but st length AS she has seemed to
lose interest In the matter she has
brought suit with a view to obtaining
damages for her fractured affections.
In other words, he IL charged with
breach Of promise. A large number OF
leading people will take part 10 the pro-
ceedings and there will be fun without
limit.
Indeed, It is safe to predict that 1t will
be many months before the walls OF the
opera house again re-echo.with so much
laughter as will be heard on that coca.

Wool Prices Decline.

Boston, May 9,-The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow:
There 10 no improvement TO be noted In
tho wool market, the trade for the most
part being completely ]stngnant. Pending
the opening Of the London wool sales on
Tuesday Of this week, there was little dis.
position to operate. II was generally ex-
pected that the sales would open at n fur.
Their decline, which expectation was real.
lied when on that day cables we're received
announcing declines Of from . 10 Ia per
cent and offerings Of 29O,Ou bales. This
decline abroad has naturally intensified
the weakness here. Aside from the Lon.
don sales the attention OF the trade has
been largely concentrated on the woolgrow
ing districts, where there appears to he a
deadlock between the grower aud the buyer
and but very few 81 the new woods have IA
yet been purchased. In the local market
sales have been very stiil and prices un.
changed.
The sales OF the week in Boston amount.
ed to l,477, 900 pounds domesticand 49,.
900 pounds foreign. making a total OF
1859, 600, against II total VI ,57l ,OO0for
the previous week, aud II total Of 7.593,.
900 for the corresponding week last year.
The sales since Jan. ! amount to 3D..
1872, 900 pounds, against Nl,2Ss, 300
pounds for the corresponding time last
year.
