The Fancy Goods Trade.

The jobbng trade of Portland has steadily
increased during the past six years, and is now
branch of business of which the State has
reason to be proud. We say the State, for
everything that conduces to the interests and
enhances the prosperity of this city, the COM
mercial capita of the State, is subject for con-
graduation on the part of the citizens of
Maine.
Most noticeable in this general jobbing bust
ness, is the rapid development and steady
growth of the fancy goods jobbing trade. 1t
is not many years since that it was quite un-
known. Like nearly all large undertakings it
had its origin in small beginnings. Thirteen
years ago Horatio Merrill opened on Middle
street small fancy goods jobbing store. From
this modest establishment has sprung the great
jobbng house of Merrill, Prince q 20. Atthe
time Mr. Merrill started in business but few
fancy goods merchants came to this city Tor
their stocks. Now, every day merchants from
the eastern part of the State send in large Or
ders to be filled Formerly nine out OF ten OF
the eastern traders in this branch OF business

BoswoRTH Posi- CAMP FRE.-Last night
will be long remembered by the members of
Bosworth Post G. A. r., as a red letter day or
evening. Nearly a hundred members were
present at the meeting, which after the usual
business, was turned into a "camp fire." Ia
bles were set in the hall and laden with baked
beans, brown bread, bareback, coffee, etc., in
regular camp style. Then cut tobacco and ST.
D." pipes were distributed, and there was
smoked the pipe of recollection, the old MEM
cries were recalled and the old battles fought
over. Before partaking Of the repast, Rev. Mr..
Bicknell, Post Chaplain, invoked the divine
blessing. The feasting over, and the pipes
lighted, Post Commander ingalls, called upon
the comrades, who volunteered to furnish
kndlings for the scamp fire. Comrade Hus-
ton brought the first armful in poetic form,
and was applauded. After him came Comrades
Wlnsor b. Smith. r. K. Galley, W. H. Sar-
gent, e. II. Abbott, Charles w. Bean and 9TH
ers equally worthy of mention, but whose names
are not recalled. Galley takes to the Mother
Goose style, and may be styled Old Mother
Goose Outdone. Comrade Smiths story of the
boy with the fur cap was production of
unusual merit as was "Voice from Munjoy
Hill by Comrade Bean. There were lots of
sharp hits that caused the hall to ring with
laughter. The poetical productions were inter-
spersedw with old army songs,in which all joined.
Before the sold boys were aware of it, the
clock indicated 11.15, when the grand circle was
formed, hands joined and "Our days are pass
ing swiftly by" America" "Auld Lang
Syne" and "Old Hundred were sung and the
assembly broke up.
