Owen, Moore & Co. have decorated the rear
OF their store in most attractive manner for
tbs holidays. Mr.. Rollins, whose skill and
taste as a decorator is well known, has con-
ssrncted representation Of huge steamboat,
IS feet long, IL feet beam and IL feet high,
from lace and ribbons. 1t is called the St.
Nicholas and is very realistic On the decks
lots OF beautiful boys and girls are disportiDg
themselves, full band on the forward deck is
apparently furnishing music, really supplied
by great orchestrion, concealed in the hold of
the ship. Santa Claus acts as pilot, in the
pilot house. The wheels go round the whistle
blows, and walking from the front of the store
one can well imagine themselves about to take
q Boston steamer.
In Millett & Little's window is good-sized
reindeer, drawing Santa Claus sleigh. The
old fellow is well wrapped in furs and his
sledgs is filed with laughing girls and boys.
The sledge is "cutely" made of silk handker-
chiefs, Christmas cards and fans A curtain
representing a winter scene acts as background
to the picture.

The article entitled "Food Frauds circu

Royal Baking Powder of Ammonia, a drug Of
iseusting origin and uuft for use in food.
Clevsland's Baking Powder is made only of

strength of the mixture, and it does not con-

its manufacture in the slightest degree obiec-

the bona fide certificates of chemists to that

known by themselves to be perfectly pure.

The attention of this community having
been called to an alleged case of riotous insur-
rection In the Portland High School by the
papers, the subcommittee of the Board of
Supervisors In charge OF the school have made
q full examination of the cause and extent of
the difficulties referred to, and find that the
accounts are highly exaggerated and unjust to
both papils end teachers. AT the worst, it
was but slight exhibition of insubordination
on the part of but a small number of boys,
and was speedily qneled by the Principal,
MIR. Chase, who received only slight scratch
on the face from the fnger-nails OF the boy
disciplined by him; he was not knocked down,
and did not receive black eye or any other
damage. The bog concerned has acknowledged
his error and apologized to the PRINCIPAL
Neither the offender, nor Mr.. Chase, nor
Mr. Holden, the sub-master, has any complaint
to make to the committee, and the school is
running in its usual older. This statement is
made simply to do away with the erroneous
impression of the affair given by the papers;
otherwise We should not have made any public
allusion tn it,
