Lowe & Co. VS.. II. b. Shannon, Coiiee-
tor of Customs, was concluded In the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
afternoon by q verdict in favor OF PLAIN
tiffs for 81 $40 .83. The action, 1t VIII be
recollected, was brought TO recover ox-
cess of duty paid on unclaimed rice, the

10 ~ cents per pound, as cleaned nee,
while on the other hand the importers
claimed that il was liable 20 dnty OF

1t has been proposed, says the Enter
prise. since the Masons met on the
mountain, that they still further initiate
; their ANCIENT brethren by holding meet

). MIGHT be secured, in case no valley loy
and secure enough could be found.
has been still further suggested by som
n Of the Consolidated Virginia boys that
n inst for variety, and to do what neve
D. was dono by the brethren either in an
cient or modern days, some lodge shout

lie The Santa Barbara Index says: d
N Ord, the Santa Barbara agent OF Il
$, Centennial Commissioners, has been f.
er some time negotiating with Mr.. Sawye
o. the owner OF the big grape vine, to ha'
N il taken up bodily and conveyed
:, Philadelphia, to be placed in the Ca
. forpia department of the Centennial Z
position. Lately it became evident tn
:. the giant was dying, and at last M
e' Sawyer has agreed that it should
no taken to the Centennial, and has undt
rs taken to attend to its removal hims'
n and attend there personally to its {

Ke the State will not regret the death Of t
to. big grape vine? However, the your
no giant vins the offspring Of the old gia
bs vine, and growing within one hundr
Nv feet OF it, wears the honors of Its parel
as for it is now the largest living sra
vs. vine in the world.
NJ Yesterday, says the Laramie 81
TAT Judge Ritter and the omnipresent RI
'ar ert Burkhardt were out prospecting NJ
MS Wilcox station, forty miles west of La
'ur mic, and came upon remarkable la
he one mile long and half a mile wide,
,ur the bottom of which was deposited
ho heavy layer of whitish, crystalized s.
40 stance that proves to bo sulphate Of m
nesia or Epson salts, in almost p'
state. The thickness OF the deposit
ac- creases as the center of the lake is
.ck preached, and will probably average Q
iaI. foot. The value of the article in
AID bulk is only three cents per pour
m which. of course, makes its transpor
len ton to market an impossibility at
pa present time; but there is process
md reducing it to carbonate Of inagnes
% which would make the lake quite val

not that there is an abundance of che
