dull without change, except New Orleans

ticular since Saturday. The demand IS but
moderate to-day, but the firmness of holders
renders it difficult to fill orders at the quots-

A NEW ORDER-The San Francisco cor
respondent of the New York Times, under
date of Jan. I'd, thus writes of new order
that appears to have originated on the Pacific
coast:
The Dashaways were just year old yes
terday. They celebrated their second birth
day with speeches, songs and new haul OF
members. Their origin, you may remember,
was in an engine-house, where five or six
dashed away their cups and went in for a
new life of total abstinence from everything
intoxicating. In twelve months they have
gathered 2,400 members, OF whom very
few after six months trial have availed
themselves of their privilege of withdraw
ing, and the black list, as | have already
written, is remarkably brief. By hosting
a flag on their hall, they can rally 25 mem
bers at any hour of the day. Whenever a
man agrees to sign the pledge, up goes the
flag, quorum (25) assemble, and down
goes his name. During the present month,
they hold meetings twice a day-at noon
and at u o'clock in the evening-for the
purpose of accommodating penitent drink
ers, of whom they anticipate large gath
ering in. The Dashaways are a most
curious people-as earnest as if life depend
ed on their behavior, as full of zeal as in
the first month of their life. In thirteen
States, in Oregon, Washington Territory,
and Columbia, even in Europe they have
branch sOcieties established.

held yesterday afternoon, the following sales
wece reported:

superfine at S5 IS; 20 bbls. fine at 81 25 ;

GRAIN.-66 bags Corn in new gunnies at
623c; 1000 bush. in car at 45c.
This, our readers will bear in mind, is
only a commencement of these systematic re-
ports. Only few business men are taking an
interest in this movement. When it gets
started fairly, the merchant who does not
join the association will be behi1dIthe times.
In fact those who belong will enjoy great ad-
vantages over those who do not. The prices of
membership are So per year for individuals,
and 81 so for firms. The Board has changed
its time of meeting from l to 3 P. NJ, to 7
to 8 in the evening.
The beauty of the system is, that it fixes a
standard price for merchandise, and brings
the buyer and seller together.

The ECLIPSE OF THE Moon, last night,
lasted from about seven to ten o'clock. At
its commencement the sky was cloudy,
which fact, taken with the eclipse, made a
degree of darkness that could almost be felt.
The moon lad nearly the whole of her face
behind the shadow of the earth. The por-
ton left out in the cold y was not more
than one-eighth. The change from the
brightness. of a full moon to nearly total
darkness, was gloomy in the extreme.

REV. ROBERT PARRETT, DECEAsED.-Int the
Enquirer of last Wednesday was an Obitu-
ary of Rev. ROBERT PARRETT, whose decease
was lately announced in this paper. The
paper containing the obituary was mislaid
before we had read it, or we should have
copied the notice. Mr.. PARRErT was one
of our old citizens, and his death claims
more than its mere announcement at our
hands. We therefore copy the Obituary
from the Enquirer.
REV. ROBERT PARRETT was one of the
early settlers of Vanderburgh County, and
as a citizen, business man, and a Christian
minister he is identified with the history Of
the county, as well as the city of Evans
vile, near which he resided for near forty
years.
The deceased was native of England,
but emigrated to this country in early life,
and when Evansville was an insignificant
village, he bought land and settled adjoining
the town where he continued to reside till
near the close of his life; and where, by
perseverance in duty and diligence in business
he acquired wealth, and by his amiabe tenn
| per and gentle manners, drew around him
numerous circle of friends. He raised a
| large family. and among his sons are Judge
Parrett, of Boonville, and Rev. John w.
Parrett, of North Indiana.
| Mr.. Parrett, at the time of his death, held
the responsible Office ofCounty Commission
er and bank director, the duties of both of
which he had filled with ability and fidelity
those of the latter office for many years,
and though it may be truly said that he
" adorned every position i'll which he was
placed" yet the position in which his vir-
tues show pre-eminently was that of q
! Christian minister.
In early manhood Father Parrett became
a licensed, and afterwards an ordained min
lister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
during a long life, while he devoted most OF
his time in the week to secular employ
ncnts he devoted most of the Sabbath
Eealously and faithfully to the work of the
ministry. He had monthly appointments at
several country churches at some of which
he preached regularly, when not providen-
TALLY Kindred, for than t,0enty gears
IN succession, and continued to the last to be
the most popular and beloved preacher that
filed the pulpits in those churches.
OF the character of Father Parrett moth
ing more need be said. He lived the life oi
a Christian, and he has gone to reap the
Christians rewards. His record is in the
memory of those who knew and loved him
