important feature of the volume. These Sketches
are written by Rev. ROBERT LATHAM, and COM

facts relative to the Pacific Mail corruption,
supposed to be in his possession. Mr.. Reid's

result in eliciting valuable testimony. The
committeeman started out with the apparent

A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN RAFFLED FOR

A LOVELY YOUNG WOMAN RAFFLED FOR
AND WON.-One of the most novel. as well as
exciting raff1es that ever took place in Sey-
mour, came off on Saturday evening last. Miss
Minnie Clarence made the novel proposition of
putting herself up to be rafled of, fifty cents
chance In less than an hour every chance
was taken, and heavy premiums were paid.
Miss Minnie is most bewitchirg beauty of
eighteen summers, an orphan of respectable
parentage, and member of the best society of
the State. She was decidedly the belle of Sey-
mour, and was loved and admired by all who
ever became acquainted with her. She is
bright blonde, perfect in form, fair complexion,
and has most ravishingly beautiful eyes. Ever
since she came to Seymour she has been the
center of attraction. In justice to Miss Min
ME, we should state that she gave the winner
the privilege of accepting or refusing her, and
reserved the same privilege for herself The
hour set for the rattle came. and found all
ready to try their luck. Miss Minnie was there
in person. dressed in the hight of fashion. to
lend charm to the occasion. She stood lean
ing gracefully against show case. never speak
ing word or betraying the least emotion, or
showing the slightest preference for any of the,
contestants, excepting there was perceptible
twinkle in her beautiful eyes when some young
and handsome "luvier" would shake the dice.
Name after name was called, and each one in
turn would shake the box with nervous hand,
until all but three had thrown and nothing
higher than thirty.eight had been thrown.
Then came Lynn Falconer's turp. Lynn is
blonde himself. and clever, hard-wOrking
young man, and perhaps the twinkle of her eyes
nerved him to the work. At any rate he tossed
the ivory with steady hand. and the scorer
called forty-six. The other two throws were
made amid too much excitement to even be
counted, and the prize was awarded to Lynn.
Minnie came forward and took Lynn's arm,
and the two went out together, amid the cheers
of the crowd She accompanied him to his
fathers hotel, where she was presented to his
relatives.-Indidnd Star.
