"A SQUATTER OlSPOSSESSED. - IL Will
hardly be credited that, Notwithstanding
the explosion of the spiritual rapping hum
bug, upwards of twenty spiritual circles"
nightly meet III this city. Table tipping
seems to have become regular occupation
with many persons. Ayear ago these fol-
lowers OF the Rochester Foxes were wont
to chronicle their experiments in the news
papers-now they are content to lock them
up in their own breasts. Occasionally,
however, they leak out-as did the follow
ing, which occurred not many weeks since,
in this city: The blooming Mrs. A. arrived
in this State in 1851, having left hus,
band and two children at her former resi-
dence in ST. Johns, n. B. Having some
time since become member of one of the
''circles," she was thrown into the company
of a disciple, who in process of time became
enamored Of her. At first she discouraged
his advances, as married woman should
told him of the ties which bound her to
those she had cleft behind" Not being
able to controvcrt her arguments, he pro-
posed to consult the spirits. To this she
assented; and the oracle, on being ques-
toned, distinctly tipped out that her guam
dam partner had died several months be-
fore, and now appeared, sn propria spiaTtu,
to approve Of her union with her new ad-
mirer. Having implicit faith in spiritual
revelations, she at once obeyed the sugges-
ton, and married the aforesaid disciple.
Ere the shoes had grown old in which she
had walked to the wedding, her first loved
arrived in San Francisco-ousIed the
squatter, and resumed his martial rights
without being driven to the necessity OF
prosecution before Recorder Baker, for ma
licious mischief.-Adrertiser.
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO CAPT. E.
KN1cHT.-We were informed yesterday
by number of prominent merchants, that
previous to the departure Of Capt. E.
Knight, the agent of the Mail Steamship
Company, a complimentary dinner will be
given him by the merchants of this city.
Among the many gentlemen who lave left
our shores, bearing with them the marks
of the esteem of their fellow citizens, no
one more eminently deserves such a tribute
than Captain Knight Courteous in his de-
meanor alike to the lowest and the most
distinguished of our community, kind, ami
able in his disposition, and possessing with
al tact and knowledge of the important
business entrusted to his charge, concilia-
ting and obliging in all matters appertain-
ing to the company he has represented,
Capt. Knight carries with him the heart
telt wishes of an entire community for his
future welfare, and the most cordial senti-
ments of esteem and respect of his thous-
ands of friends. We regret the more the
departure of such men as Capt Knight
from our city, for his place as a man of bu-
siness is not easily filled, and in the circle
of acquaintance who enjoyed his conf
dence, his departure will be long remem-
bered and his return anxieusly looked for

The following from the San Francisco
Daily Ledger is worthy of particular no.
tice of merchants and consumers -
Sir In an article entitled, "Runntng
Day and Night" in your issue of this
morning, it would appear that you assert
that the FIGURING Mills which you speak,
are necessarily occupied in reducing Cali
fornia grown wheat into -four and you
wound up with the bene6cient words
"Success to home Industry" We cordi-
ally re.echo the words; but, alas! it is a
fallacy. "a commercial paper" to which
honorable appellation you evidently aspire,
ought to be better informed. Know, then,
the assiduous operations you so highly adj
mire, are mainly directed to the regrinding
of coated hardened imported -four, which,
with slight admixture of the real Simon
Pure, is palmed of, on an innocent public,
as genuine California Produce"
Yours, VERIrAs.
ITEMS pleads guilty, of not exactly know
ing whether the mills in question ground
fresh wheat or sour flour, and intended on
ly to make note of work going on.
Our market reporter bids US quote the
following:
The practice Of grinding sour -four and
fresh wheat together has given our domes-
tic ground flour bad name, and some of
the millers have commenced branding their
bags with the names of their mills, and
guarantee the article is genuine domestic,
ground from wheat alone. By this means,
if the article is bad the brand can be avoid
ed, and if found to be what it is represent
ed, then the public have confidence, and
the article finds ready sale.
The practice of re-grinding coated or
hardened flour, has been carried on for
long time, and Californians will have the
pleasure of eating the stuff just as long as
they will not pay the difference between
pure ground and the bogus, providing they
can understand that there is a difference
between a pure article and villainous ad-
mixture.

New IoRK, Oct. 30, 1883.
/ wonder if there is any where 50 fine II season rs
the fall in New York City. Certainly it is the
finest of the seasons here. have not forgotten the
fall as it is with you. / remember wildly those
beautiful days which you have, when everything,
EARTH mir and clouds and sky all to be soft
and beautiful us the haze which hangs over the
mountains, and when the varcgated leaf which
from its stem falls under the boughs of the
parent tree. But when us here, we have week after
week of such days in succession, varying from
crystalline clearncss to that same soft haze, cool
enough to be bracing, yet free from that edge
which one degree more of north latitude is apt to
give, and the summers influence seems to be felt
upon the fall and upon the outer edge winter,
"oh, what tN is there, my countrymcn." 1t is
certainly The time to visit the city.
You will have seen that the Captain, owner, and
officers of the Henry Clay now trial here loi
manslaughter for causing the deaths of the unfortu
nate passengers who persisted i'll the destruction OF
that boat last year. The trial is an important one
and is contested with great vchemcncc on both
sides. 1t has already occupied the Court fortnight
and is likely to last fortnight more the defence
has but just commenced, For my part have II,
doubt that there racing between those two boat
that day, and that the defendants were very
culpablc in the management of the boat. But it il
claimed by the defence that there racing a
all, and that the fire was an unaccountablc accident
suppose there i little prospect of any verdict bu
&" not guilty. from the jury. Such to be TIN
general impression around the Court.
/ see that Judge Edmonds, in his book on spirit
ualism states that the burning of the Clay wa
torstoh by mediums in this City. He does no
however give any accounts of attempts on the par
Of the mediums to prevent the accident or to kcc
passengers from going on board. There would sccr
to be II fault somewhere. If the Judge knew Of il
mud warned no ono, he ought to be tried for mnt
slaughter himself. Yours, &C.,
