The Alumn@ of the High School of this
city assembled at the Reception Room in City
Hall last evening in good numbers. The room
was tastefully decorated with evergreen and
flowers, but the young ladies were the most
lovely ornaments after all. Say what you will,
Portland can furnish more beautiful girls from
twelve to twenty years of age than any other
city of its size in our country. We speak adj
visedly, and not in spirit of boasting. We
saw in this room last evening evident proofs
of our assertion. Healthful countenances,
symmetrical forms, graceful movements, agree
able manners, musical voices, well educated
minds, good hearts, fine taste, life and anima-
Z tion-all these constitute the beauty of women,
and our High School has sent out many such.
The Band of the 18th were there, and of
course the exercises of the evening were enlv-
ened with excellent music. Ice cream, nice
cake, and last, but not least, pure cold water
were furnished in abundance by Mr.. Parting
ington. All seemed to enjoy themselves in a
rational way. The exhibition we witnessed
last evening furnishes plenary evidence
that our High School is a valuable institution.
1t sends out yearly, young ladies who will make
their mark upon the coming generation; for
the future of our country, in a good degree,
depends upon good mothers. Without them
a nation sinks in civilization.

To the Editor Of the Press
The following are the names of mechanics
who worked on the house built by Jacob
Cram, situated on the northeast corner of
India and Congress streets, and now owned and
occupied by our venerable fellow citizen, the
Hon. Elias Thomas. Said house was built in
the year of our Lord one thousand eight hum
bred and fifteen, (1s15.) A few facts incident
to that period, when we take into consideration
that nearly two generations of men have pas
sed away since that time, may not be without
interest to some of your numerous readers
Prior and subsequent to the war OF 1912, the
people of this town were poor, and the prac-
tice Of barter payment for labor in things other
than cash, everywhere prevailed. The me
. chanics who worked upon this house, re-
ceived as wages $1.50 per diem, and were paid
in New England Rum at sixty cents per gal
lon. The traders were on hand to buy by
paying one half of the purchase amount in
cash and the remaining half in family grocer
les from their respective stores. Nor would it
be without interest to the reader to learn the
wonderful improvement made in mechanic
arts since that time Then everything was
done by hand labor. No labor saving machine
was employed in any part of that structure.
Circular saving and every strip of board and
plank were sawn by hand, as well as piles of
mouldings, flor more mouldings were used for
interior finishing then than now, all were
wrought out by hand. Hard ware, wood
screws, carpenters tools, window glass, and
nearly every article in that line (save cut nails
which quite recently had come in use,) were
imported. s ia8ig ai
But, Mr.. Editor, / am reminded that space
in your paper is too valuable to be filled with
any thing which does not instruct or amuse
your readers, which if, were to say what I
might say, would be somewhat verbose.
