M, sterious Disappearance.

Miss Hattie G. Witham started from Cam
berland Mills. March 5th to go to Manchester,
N. e., with some expectation of returning in
er Forest City from Portland, on the afternoon
of that day, purchased ticket and was regis
tered as a passenger. Since then no positive
intelligence concerning her fate, nor any clue
to the circumstances or cause of her disap-
pearance, has been obtained. She was "a
years of age, of medium height, qaits stout,
light complexion, blue eyes, brown hair, wore
bottle green dress, long black cloak trimmed
with black fur, black straw hat trimmed with
black velvet, black feather and brown and
white wing. Miss Witham was accustomed to
travel considerably; had resided at various
times in Auburn, Lewiston, Lawrence, Man
chester, Portland, New Gloucester, Standish
and Cumberland Mills, and had an excellent
character and reputation. She was very indus
trious and has supported herself by honest la
Dor since childhood.
The officers of the Forest City state some
circumstances, giving rise to the supposition
that she might have gone overheard after leav.
ing Portland, bat no one can positively say that
she was en- board after the sailing of the steam
er for Boston. Considerable search in Boston,
Manchester and other places, where she had
friends has been made without avail. If tits
possible that Miss Witham is still living, any
intelligence of her may be communicated to
her mother, Mrs It. "a. Mcdonald of Cumber-
land Mills, Or her brother, Charles N Witban,

given at Portland Theatre last night and went
off very smoothly. All the actors were much
more at their ease than on the previous even

scenes. We hear many pleasant words spoken
about the new scenery and the efforts of Mr..
Curtis to make the play effective by attention
to mounting and details. IL is not often that
the public have an opportunity of seeing live
horse on the stage. The many friends of the

secure their seats at once.

Cream Tariar-Where and How procured.
The pure cream tartar of commerce exists
naturally in the grape, and during fermenta-
ton of the tart wines in France, 1t is deposited
on the sides and bottoms of the casks. In its
unreined state, it is called crude tartar, or ar
gols, and is taken from the cask after the wine
has been drawn off Each farmer has his crop
of it according to the amount of wine he has
produced The manufacturers of the brand
known as the Royal Baking Powder, are per-
haps the largest users of cream tartar in the
world, and who have agents in various parts of
Europe collecting and forwarding the crude
material.
1t is imported into this country as aIgols, and
does not appear upon the Custom House entries
except as argols-never as cream tartar, for the
reason that the facilities for refining ia this
country are superior to that of the old coun-
tries, hence, it is brought here in the crude
fern, and then subjected to the process of re-
filming.
This dispe1s the impression many have, that
this article cannot be procured in its native
purity. There is no doubt but what cream tar
tar is largely adulterated and that as ordinarily
foul d in the shops, is cheapened by either
burnt bones, terra alba, or the hurtful alum,

DIR Chandler, President of the New York
Board of Health. as well as D., Mot, the CIV
ernment Chemist, d.. Sqnbb and other high
authorities have denounced the wholesale adul-
iteration of this most wholesome and useful ar
ticIe.
In view of the difficulties of getting pure
cream of tartar, Dr. FL A. Mott, the Govern.
ment Chemist, advises the selection of some
standard Baking Powder, which has stood the
test of chemical examination, like the Royal
Baking Powder, rather than run he risk of the
many adventurous compounds put upon the
market by ignorant or Irresponsible parties, as
baking powder properly prepared, is not only
wholesome, but more economical and conven-
lent than yeast, or the cream of tartar and soda
found in the market
