Thanks9fvfnx Donations.

Tie day before Thanksgiving was a busy one at No. 23 Church street. Generous friends of both the Board of Charities and the Board of Missions had sent not only money but turkeys, chickens, meat, vegeta- bles, pies, fruit, clothing, &c., and the city missionary with the agent and the matron of the Board of Charities were engaged all day and well into the evening in distributing sup plies for Thanksgiving dinners for about eighty families including over three hundred persons. In some cases of special need coal, clothing or warm blankets were added. Fam flies that were known but not supplied with Thanksgiving help will be put upon the Christmas list and those who omitted to con- tribute to the Thanksgiving fund of these two organizations can at any time before Christmas add to the amount already on hand for that purpose. Acknowledgment is made of money or supplies as above men toned received from k. s. FElIowes, Mrs. Hattie Goodwin, Mrs. P. B. Foster Mrs O. F. Winchester, Mrs. E. G. Bennett, Mrs J. F.

--------- OnrnaiIv Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have vast influence through the digestive organs upon the measure of health we enjoy. How. important to our present happiness and fu- ture usefulness the blessings of goodsh health and sound constitution are, we can only realize when we have lost them, and when it is too late to repair the damage. And yet, notwithstanding these facts, thousands of persons in our own city daily jeopardize not only their health, but their lives and the healths and lives of others, by using articles in the preparation of their food, the purity and healthfulness of which they know noth- ing. Perhaps a few cents may have been saved, or it may have been more convenient to obtain the articles used, and the house. keeper takes the responsibility and possibly will never know the mischief that has been wrought. Pater famll1as may have spells of headache, Johnny may lose his appetite, Susie may look pale if so, the true cause is rarely suspected. The weather, the lack of outdoor air, or some other cause is given, and the unwholesome, poisonous system of adulterated food goes on. Next to the flour, which should be made of good, sound wheat and not ground too fine, the yeast or baking powder, which furnishes the rising proper ties, is of the greatest importance, and of the two we prefer baking powder, and always use the Royal, as we thereby retain the original properties of the wheat, no fermentation taking place. The action of the Royal Bak- ing Powder upon the dough is simply to swell it and form little cells through every part. These cells are filled with carbonic acid gas, which passes of during the process of baking.
 The Royal is made from pure grape acid, and it is the action of this acid upon highly carbonized bicarbonate of soda that gener- ates the gas alluded to; and these ingredients are so pure and so perfectly fitted. tested and adapted to each other, that the action is mild and permanent, and is continued during the whole time of baking, and no residue of poisonous ingredients remains to undermine the health, no heavy biscuits, no sour bread, but if directions are followed, every article prepared with the Royal Baking Powder will be found sweet and wholesome.

North Haven.

Several strangers are seen on the streets, visitors spending Thanksgiving with friends. The day was observed in the usual way. Both churches were opened for service. At the Congregational church MT. Reynolds preached from the 143d psalm, 9th verse, commencing s.I remember the days of old p He spoke of the observance of the day by our forefathers and said 1t was not really known how the service Was instituted He con- trasted New York at the time of the evacua- tion in 1783 with New York in 1883, giving quite history of the country during the diff ferent wars and relating interesting incidents connected herewith. He also spoke of the change in North Haven in 100 years and less, how it had been town of tsyerns and rum- drinking, and now strong tsmperauce sen- Ement pervades the town. He read from the diary of Dr. Cutler recently published, who while travelling through the coun
 try in June, 1787, stopped at Todd's tavern at the bridge, saying it was forlorn looking place. but he was fortunate in getting good dinner of veal outlet, fried chicken and green peas. He wrote of the houses of North Haven that they were ssmuch scattered, were very small and showed unmistakeable signs of poverty, and the barns were shattered" Several visitors

Hebrew Benevolent Society.

In response to 8 circular, the contents given below, issued by the board of directors of the Hebrew Benevolent society, number of generous responses have comeS in. The directors names are M. Sonnenberg, M Mann, l.. H. Freedman, M. Adler, M. Heller following circular:
 The board of directors of the above named society desire to call your attention to the fact that both the treasury and reserve funds are nearly exhausted and the board will be unable to relieve the suffering and destitute among the poor, during the present winter un- less liberal donations of money are subscribed. There are many more poor families living among us than heretofore, and some are suffer- ing on account of the heads of these families being without employment and unable to ob- tain any, although they are willing to work, and unless they are assisted by the society from time to time thOre will be great suffer ing among these unfortunate people, which will continue to increase with the approach ing cold weather. The society have expend- ed since the last general meeting about $2,0OO, and have only relieved the most dis dressing cases, it being impossible with the amount of funds at our command to extend the full assistance necessary in every in stance.
 We therefore appeal to the hearts of our co religionists, reminding them that one of the principal teachings of our religion is ito give charity to the suffering poor" and we urge them to open their purses and contrib ute literally. thereby celebrating our nation al Thanksgiving in most worthy manner, ''For he who giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord"

NEW xOB1s Gecs 1s Everything was buIIish to-day. In moderate way the tendency of the market was upward. and it may safely be said that there was no stock upon the list that did not coss fractionAy better than 1t opened The Vandsrbits and the coal carriers were the top EaWyers of to-days list. Per contra the Villards were the weakest, although there was much talk of Oregon .TranscontinsntaI having prepared for publication brilliant statement of its affairs. All applications for the text this spocrphal report st the conpanys offices were refused and we are hence left in the dark to whether there is real tnten- tion to issue one or not. Regarding the market at large nothing is to bs Eaid except that it showed great strength, moderate advance and consider- able confidence in higher figures.

The Street OIeaning.


 All Bids Rejected by the Board of Public
 Adopted.
 The Board of Public Works held special meeting on Saturday evening to consider the contracts for street cleaning for next year. Every member of the Board was present and Mayor Lewis presided. There were four bids and each party made two proposals, one to do the work under last years specified tions and the other to embrace the additional specifications voted by the Board at their last meeting These additions included the cleaning of the gutters of the principal por- tions of Chapel, State and Church strests oftener than at present, the turnpiking of two miles of unpaved roads and the cleaning of Court street and parts of Congress avenue and Grand streets once each week insteaS ssof bi.weekly. The bids the figure named for the work with the ad- ditional specifications:
 Matthew Kehoe, $15, ,897 and $17, 939; John F. Nolan, $17, $40 and 18,390; Pat rick Bowling, $14,773 and $15, ,449; c. W. Blakeslee & Sons, $15,987 and $17, ,OoO. Each of the proposals was accompanied with the bond required for the faithful perfor- nance of the contract, except that of 0. W. Blakeslee & Sons, who inclosed certificate check
 Mir. Pond and Mr. Coleman objected to the contract system and favored returning to the old method, and to this end MT. Pond moved to reject all the bids. On the motion to re- iect, Messrs. Pond, Holcomb and Coleman voted in the affirmative and only MT. Sargent in the negative. Supposing that Messrs. Gilbert and FeIdman had voted with MT. Sargent, Mayor Lewis said that the Vote ap- peared to be tie. This being doubted, the question was again put and carried. Messrs. Pond, Holcomb and Coleman again voting yes and MT. Sargent no. Messrs: Gilbert and Feldman abstained from voting both times The Mayor declared Mir. Ponds mo- tion carried and the Board directly after wards adjourned.
 The effect of this action will be return to the old system of cleaning by day work under the direction of the city, as the present contract has already expired.
