ARIIFIClAL DTONE.-A. ~. OdIup-
bell has given us ittlepaper weight
of stone made here by him under
the Leathers' patent. He will::short-
ly begin preparing for the work of
constructing large two-story and
basement building for H. L. Yesler
Ter at the corner of Mill and Front
streets. Isaac Palmer is to be the
architect and will forward the speci-
fcations to Col. Thorpe, at Victoria,
by to- morrow's mail. The manner
in which the stone is made will be
CLEANED from the following extract
from the Victoria Colonist: "a. large
and curious crowd assembled in
front of Rudolph's jewelry store to
witness the laying of an artificial
stone sidewalk by Mr.. Leathers.
The wooden sidewalk having been
raised, a quantity Of coarse sand was
thrown into the space and smoothed
down. Into a mixingbox similar
in size and shape to the box used by
plasterers to mix mortar four barrels
of sand to one of Portland cement
were thrown. A chemical prepara-
ton sufficient to moisten the cement
and sand was then thrown upon it,
and after all had been thoroughly
stirred up the mixture was spread
over the sand and made smooth with
trowels. The name H. Rudolph
was produced by sinking wooden
letters in the walk and removing
them after the impression had been
obtained" The contractors agree
to forfeit the price of the building,
if the stone does not prove dnrable
and hard at the end of the year.
The Ivy HoP.-To-night at Yes
ler's Hall comes the first of the Ivy
Clubs reunions. It is the purpose
of this association to give two hops
in each month; confined exclusively
to members of the club. Once in
six weeks they give public dance
to which each club member has the
privilege of inviting two friends.
There being nineteen members, this
gives thirty eight invitations, or
ffty-seven couple in all. Hence the
boys are sure to have good time.
The decorations have been made by
r. 3. Curry and NJ. G. SAKE, who
have fitted out the room in a very
neat style. r. S. White will fur
nish the music and that announce
ment is enough. Gentlemen will
please show their invitations.

REMovAL.---Our venerable prede.

reader will be perhaps startled al
this announcement, but when we
state that Judge Lewis is the only

the Third District Court was NOV.
