p We have omitted to notice the
arrival of Mr.. s. W. Foss, on the 18th
ust., with another band, contai ming ia
head of those fine beef cattle for the
Seattle Market. Our people should
bear in mind that this finn have laid
out thousands of dollars in our county;
that they have established in Seattle the
finest market this side of San Francisco,
which is the admiration of all who visit
our city, as well as an honor to the
place; and they should feel it a duty to
give these men their patronage in pre-
ference to an itenerant who has no in
terest here and who is only seeking to
destroy the wholesale trade, which this
firm has brought to this place, and di-
vert it into other channels.
There appears to be lively competi-
tion going on in the butchers business
all over the country. This is undoubt-
edly brought about by the large amount
of surplus stock East of the Mountains,
and the unusually low rates which they
are being sold for.
Every town should look to its own in
terests, and see that as much of this
trade as possible is diverted to it through
the hands OF those who are directly in
terested in the growth and welfare of

FHE BALL AT DIFHMARS,
BY Q. II. KAY.

The name Of Dithmac had been
known in N-a!most from its
foundation, and members Of that
family had filled with honor many
responsible positions in its gift.
At the time Of which | write the
head of tie family was one Joseph
Dithnar, 4 retired manufacturer
,of about sixty, i gentleman Of cul'
xure rs well as fortune. Mr.. Dlth-
mars household circle, besides
himself, then consisted Of his wife,
by some years his junior, his son,
Arthur, u young man of twenty,
aud two daughters, Helen and
Mary. Helen was twcnty-six,
and though by no mesns ill-fav-
orei, bado fair always to remain
i spiuster Of her own volition.
Nary on the contrary, though
much younger shan her sister, did
not share this strange aversion to
lnarriagc, and that was perhaps,
the reason that had maintalneG
?or 50 long my acquaintance with
...ud my friendship for tic family.
Mary was belle Of n, and we'll
snerited the position on the score
both Of personal and Of intellectual
beauty. She had numerous gen
tleman friends, rs was natural, but
none that { considered my rivals.
There was, Endeed, a certain
Harry Dutt-a sort CT bralnlcss,
fashionable popinjay-who asplred
10 her favor, but his pretenSions
slppgared 50 ridiculous to me that
did not give either him Or them
pnuch thought or consideration.
Besides, had old Mr.. Dithmar's
favor and that went q long way
toward strengthening nay position
and my compiSeency. Mary, TOO,
seemed to lean teEasd my side.
This was the state ef afalrs
when. one day, in the Winter of
1867, / received al invitation to a
hall 1t Dithmar's. Now this invi-
tation was nothing uncommon,
but the fact shat the note was
written and signed BY Mary Dith-
snar herself was slgniEc2nt-at

A WEDDING PARTY LOCKED

A wedding party came to grief
IN the second district station last
Friday night. It seems that ::
woman who had been living with

without the trouble Of going to

which time they had managed TO

or five children, concluded it would
be . delightful sensation to get

going to the expense Of snch

her In!t'd to get married to some
body, and ii Mr.. $. did not I'M

look further: 1t so happened that
she paid L visit to some acquaint-.
ance abont ten miles back Of Gov.

became acquainted with q very

taken TO the station-house.
Mr.. B, began to see through
things a little and modestly gave
bali tor his appcaranoein court, and
was released. lie allowed his bran
new wife, however to be locked
up for the night.
Mrs. B. in orc cell and Mr.. s. in
another, talked matters over, and
agreed to play . trick on Mr.. b.
They felt sure he would not ap-
pear in Court, and as a conse-
quence, Mrs. B., as his lawful
wife, would claim the $25 he
had deposited as security for his
appearance. This with the ST
Mrs. B. had, would enable her and
Mr. S. to leave town. But Mr. b.
wasn't that kind Of ! man after
all. He would prot"bly have
been willing to give up his wife,
but the S25 touched the tender
chords Of his manly heart, and he
was on hand promptly when his
name was called ir court. There

HOW A JEWISH RABBl WAS
CONVERTED.
MIR. ABRAHAM JEAGER'S EXPERT
ENCE, AS GIVEN BEFORE TIE
CONVENTION AT MOBILE.

All who were in the Southern

the address Of Brother Jcagcr

Gently converted from Judaism to
christianity, in Mobile: lie is a
member Of the St, Francis street
church, in which the convention
met. We are indebted to our cs-
tecmcd young brother, George 3.
Eager, for report Of the address,
as taken down by him while
Brother Jcager spoke. 1t will be
read with interest, and the more
SC IS Rrothcr Jcager has been
greatly prosecuted by his jewish
brethren since his conversion to
Christianity.
In accordance with generally
expressed desire, Mr.. Jeager wos
INTRODUCED to the convention, and
before 2 crOEae4 HOUSE OF eager
listeners proceeded, after some
becoming expressions Of embar-
rassment at appearing before such
body On such an occasion, in
substance as follows:
IL give thanks to the living
God of Isrcal that l am to-day
permitted to stretch forth my
arms to this Baptist conEention
and say, "Ye are my brethren !"
Then, with a dignity and power
Of maun5r ana GI!ouglt that nave
left a profound impress upon all
who heard him, he proceeded to
enforce the importance of labor for
the conversion of the Jews. He
claimed that all arguments urged
tho night before, in behalf Of
Furopean Missions, applied with
greater, subliuer force to this
world-neglected enterprise, and
that more might be added. Said
he; "Thcy are at your own doors,
they speak your own language,
they take part in your own enter
priscs, but above all, they wor-
ship the same God ehoxah-
and yield crcdence to the same
Scriptures Of truth. Is it objected
that the Jews will not receive the
gospel ? .MOr me an uubelierer that
