For THE CENTENNIAL.-Two grand excur-
sions 10 the Centennial via Portland & Worces-
ter line have been inaugurated for the benefit
of those of our citizens who have not yet made
the trip. They occur Sept Goth and Oct. Sd,
and considering the great popularity of the
route and the extremely low fare, will doubt
less draw large numbers. The route from New
York is via Pennsylvania R. r., by which pas
sengers are landed in Philadelphia near all the
leading hotels. which is an important point to
be remembered. For the benefit of those who
have any doubts as to which is the best route
to the Centennial, we would state that this line
has taken all the excursion parties of any note
from this city this season, which is an import
ant indication of the popularity of this route.
Tickets can be procured at any of the regular
ticket agents on Exchange street.

Having had many years practi-
cal experience in curing and
packing Beef, we became con-
vinced that it was possible to pre-
pare it in such a form that it
should be more economical and
convenient than it had been, and
as a result placed upon the mar
ket our Cooked Meats, which have
given entire satisfaction, not
withstanding the very severe tests
and unwarranted attempts that
have been made to injure their
reputation. A choice quality of
meat is cooked, only solid meat is
paid for, with no loss by cooking,
and one pound is equivalent to
more than two pounds of I'M
cooked meat.
The great convenience of hay-
ing in the house delicious cold
meats ready to put on the table
at a moments notice will recon-
mend them to every household,
while the economy in their use is
not the least of their merits.

AGIRL MIssNG.-On Saturday afternoon a
daughter of Mr.. Joseph Craig left her fathers
house, on North street, and has not been seen
since. She has formerly attended the North
School, but recently has been kept at home to
assist her stepmother in the household duties.
This did not please her, and she probably at
once decided to leave her home.
The girl left note directed to her father,
saying she would endeavor to earn her own liv
ing, and it would be useless to search for her.
She accused her step-mother of Ill treatment.
Mr. Craig says the latter accusation is uncalled
for; that she has always been treated with kind
ness. She was last seen by her step-mother
about p. m. Saturday, in the kitchen, when
she appeared happy and cheerful, and asked
her mother if her father would be at home that
afternoon. Her mother said "No," and then
went into the parlor to see some guests. When
the guests left she looked for her daughter and
could not find her. Miss Craig was about 16
years of age, but so small and delicately form
ed that she would he easily mistaken for child
of ten. She wore when she left, brown wrap
per, black straw hat trimmed with blue velvet,
and a white feather, and dark waterproof
cape. She is rather dark complexioned, with
brown hair and brown eyes.
Mr.. Craig heard yesterday that his daughter
went to st. John on the steamer, but he tele-
graphed to that city and received assurance
that she was not there
P.S. Mr.. Craig received despatch from
Boston last evening saying that his daughter is
safe in that city. He will 60 to Boston this
morning to bring the girl home.

AN APPEAL FOR THE SUFFERING.-Col W,
f. Holland of Savannah, Georgia, who is well
known to many of our citizens, is making
pose of presenting the condition of the people
Of his city, which is now sorely afflicted with
that most malignant of diseases-yellow fever.
Wednesday in a population of about 21,OOO
there were "A deaths of yellow fever This
mortality, however, is no measure of the terri
BILE condition of the people of Savannah. The
disease has extended to all parts of the city.
Thousands have left, but there are thousands
of poor people who. if not aided by benevolent
people elsewhere, must suffer not only by dis
ease, but from hunger, and even perish from
starvation.
Col Holland gives the details of the work of
the organization which he represents. 1t is
composed of a number of the leading men of
the city, who have organized corps of physi-
clans and nurses, and all the money they re-
ceive is carefully expended by their OWE
agents. The organization is now employing
208 nurses 1t will be seen that large amount
of money will be required to carry out the
praise-worthy project of the Savannah citizens,

they are forced to appeal to the charitable
throughout the country. They should not ask
in vain. 1t may be added that the city and Cit
liens of Savannah responded to Portland most
literally in 1866 when our people had to appeal
for aid. The city government of Savannah
voted $1,000 and many of the citizens contrbut-
ed-and that, too, SO soon after the poverty and
desolation which the war brought

Trade should lead off in this matter. Parties
