PORTLAND, Nov. 81, 1871.
10 my former Customers and the Pubic generally:
RETURNING THANKS for past favors would re-
spectfuly invite you to No. s. Commercial street. d-
rectly opposite the Clock in Thomas Block where
can be found large and fine assortment of the best
grades OF ST. LOUIS FLOUR. Having determined to
give my exclusive attention to Flour alone 1 shall
make 1t point to purchase that will fail to give
perfect sa.isiaction The following will give some
idea OF my success in selecting good flour. During
Nov l. retailed 1000 bbls of -four; 400 consecutive
barrels without the return of single one and only
IA bbs. were returned during the entire year. This
unusual success was largely owing the quality of
Hour selected and partly in the manner which it was
solo, and that was to recommend it precisely what it
would prove to be. This will BIZ my future course.
My flour will all be bought from first hands direct
which will enable me to retail 1t at the lowest whole
sale prices. As have record of every barrel of
Hour previously sold, and the purchasers name, by
reference to which can judge very nearly what
OF Hour will suit the same customer.

ALEXIS VISITS THE SCHOOLS AND GIVES GOOD
ADVICE BY PROXY.
BOSTON, Dec. 12.-To-day Duke Alexis with
members of his suite, including Admiral Pois-
set, and accompanied by School Superintendent
Philbrick, visited several of the public schools.
The ordinary school exercises and selections in
music were rendered much to the apparent
qualification of the distinguished visitors At
ter the exercises, Mr.. Machin briefly addressed
the school on behalf of the Duke, and gave
them some excellent advice. The Duke APP
peared highly interested in the schools, and re-
quested the Superintc ndent to favor him with
some of the school statistics, reports, and rules
and regulations, which Mr.. Philbrick agreed to
do. In the evening the Duke visited Globe
Theatre and witnessed Miss Cushman's presen-
tation of Queen Catharine.
THE PROGRAMME.
The following is the Grand Dukes proposed
route: Leaving Boston Thursday morning via
Lowell and Concord, N. H., for Montreal, ar
irving there Friday, and remaining till Monday,
leave for Ottawa, Tuesday for Toronto, leaving
Toronto Friday, 22d, in the morning for Nigga
IA, leaving Niagara Saturday morning arriving
at Buffalo at II o'clock a. m. Tuesday, 18th,
leave for Cleveland, Thursday, 2Sth, for Detroit;
leaves Saturday, 30th, for Chicago In case of
the Prince of Wales death the route may be
changed.

SUNDRY rumors were current yesterday that
several citizens were down with the small pox,
but we cannot find any foundation for the re-
ports. No eases have been officially reported.
If person is confined to the house by any of
the trivial disorders common to the season, an
excited sentiment magnifies the disorders to a
virulent disease. A little caution in regard to
the circulation of false reports should be OBJ
served for the good of the community.

THE HAYDN-THoMAs CoNcERT.-The great
concert of the Haydn Association next week
promises to be grand gala night for Portland;
in fact great musical festival for this part of
the State A large number of tickets have been
sold in Bath, Brunswick, Freeport, and Var
mouth, and an excursion train will come in
from those places; there will also be, doubtless,
quite a number from Gorham, Saco and Bidde-
ford, as well as other places along the line of
the Rochester road; and although nearly all the
seats have been engaged, yet there are few
good ones left, and we understand that the
"Haydns' will use every effort to try and seat
the vast multitude that now promises to be
present ON the occasion, and seats may be had
after the settees full by placing chairs in the
asles, and preparations will be made to occupy
the balcony in the rear of the gallery-fnally
we would advise all who are intending to 60 to
secure their seats at once as the concert will
commence early in consequence of the variety
and length of the programme.
