Our readers will remember the concert
advertised at the Free Baptist Church this
evening. In addition to the grand chorus of
nifty voices, and the flute solos by Acterian,
Tie society have been fortunate in securing
Tile services of Mrs. C. f. Haynes of Skowhe-
gan so widely known in the State as singer
vi unsurpassed excellence. She is always
received with enthusiastic favor, and her
songs alone, with the flute accompaniment OF
Aeterian. will be worth double the price OF
aumission. Many in this city will remember
"e sweet voice of Mrs. Haynes as the lead
ing soprano in the choir of the Granite
Nhureh in this city some years since. This
VIII be her first appearance here in pubic
concert. We bespeak for our Free Baptist
friends a full house.

The principal topic for conversation at the
hotels and under the capitol dome yesterday
was the order introduced by Senator Mort.
land providing for the Legislature to take a
recess from March lst to March ODD. While
some members were strongly in favor of the
PROJECT, the general drift of sentiment is
strongly against it, and at conference OF
leading republicans last evening, it was de-
cided that it would be injudicious to take
TINS recess, and the members will unnoubt-
edy vote down the order.

The Government chemist also adds | re-
gard all alum powders as very unwholesome.
Phosphate and tartaric acid powders liberate
their gas too freely in process of baking, or
under varying climatic changes suffer deter
ioration.
1t is proper to state that all the powders ex-
amined we're from the open market, and that
the original labels were in every case broken
by DIR. Love himself. He also informs me
that he himself, purchased the can of Royal
Baking Powder at the store of Park Tilford.
I hare only to add. that for 90 years the
ROYAL Baking Powder has been before the
public aid it is to day the standard for purity
and excellence throughout the world. Be-
cause of its intrinsic merit. and by virtue of
honorable enterprise, the Royal Baking Pow
der has taken this rank, and l am therefore
