The Grasshopper Year.

S. S. Williams of this city. has writ
ten a letter to Maine Woods concerning
the year 1871 when the sun and grass
hOppers spoiled the crops. Mr..
Williams says:
H. NJ. Butterfield and others are
correct as to the date of the grass
hopper year, 1871. The Oldest inhabi-
tant of your county think cannot. re-
call another such drouth and grass
hopper scourge as visited them that
year. | was living on my fathers old
farm, the Lappen Williams place on
Bray hill. now owned by Gerry Nicker-
son. l then owned the adjoining farm,
now owned by Gray.
There had been some twenty acres
of land cleared and seeded to herds
grass and reaped for the seed. This lot
l had encircled with hedge fence and
turned to pasture. The extreme drouth
had parched the pastures everywhere
except on this new land. Stock was
driven here from Freeman, New
Sharon and rOrarer points until l had
more than fifty head of cattle which
not only ate down the grass but
brOwsed everything in reach. Still I'M
satisfied, the hedge fence no longer
was a safeguard. They roamed the
thousand acres of forest till they
reached the uppS' settlement of East
Madrid. helping themselves to garden
truck, vegetables and such grain as had
not been harvested, dried up or eaten
up by grasshoppers. All damage of
the kind | gladly recompensed as it had
become impossible to collect the hun
cry hoard. This entire stock obtained
good living, coming up in the autumn
In very fair condition.
Il recall a drive down through the
town of Salem late in August Not one
green thing could be seen in field or
pasture, every shrub and brier and
full-grown tree seeming without life,
while the millions of hOppers filled the
air in every direction, gloomy,
dreary sight indeed. There hardly
seemed a hope that vegetation could
ever come forth again without reset
ting and replanting.'

MantelI as Hamlet, Tonioht-

The Bangor Daily News had the fol-
lowing complimentary criticism of Mr..
Robt. b. Mantell in Hamlet. which
play will be given tonight at the Opera
House. The seat sale indicates large
audience. The News said:
Robert B. Mantell. admired here for
his admirable pOrtrayals of romantic
characters, began his annual engage
ment in Bangor Opera House on Fri
day night, presenting Hamlet. A good
sized audience-large for SO stormy
Il night, witnessed the production and
none could but be impressed with Man
tells acting of the role of Hamlet. To
a fine figure and distinguished bearing
he adds a most effective reading of the
noble lines, in that richly musical
voice for which he is so much admired,
and in the acting he will appear to
most auditors as dignified, consistent
and altogether satisfactory, Many
prefer to see Mantell in romantic roles.
but it must be said that in whatever he
has done herein the legitimate and
classical drama, as well as in romantic
plays, he has given the same evidence
of strong dramatic instinct, cultivated
by careful study and illumined by a
great intelligence. His conception of
the character of Hamlet is surely in
teresting and worthy of praise as free
from anything commonplace and in
many respects masterful. Never on
this stage, we think, have the famous
speeches of the part been more elo-
quently delivered. The supporting
company includes several people OF
considerable ability. Marie Booth Rus
sells Ophelia was conspicuous as a
rather vivid picturing of the pitifu
character, and w. J. Bowen made a dis
tinctly good Laertes. Minnie Monk
Mark Price and Alfred H. Hastings are
also deserving of recognition for gener-
al competency. The play was ade-
quately staged
