TOWN AND COUNTRY.


meeting at the NJ. E. church last
evening was well attended, the house
being filed. Rev. Stubbs preached,
following up the discourse OF the
nrevious evening. At the close of
the sermon seekers were invited to
come to the front seat in short but
earnest exhortation, and in response
a number who had not previously
been among the number of seekers,
went. The meeting was very order
" throughout. The union services
will be continued at the Brown
church next week. During the SER
vices two of the boys who were re-
Gently in jail, assisted by some 9TH
ers who ought to have been in Jail,
fixed up what they call tick-tack
on the window, then went across the
street and by means of a string made
a tapping sound on the window.
The string was broken by the sex
ton, and the boys discovered and
their names learned. We are not
informed whether they will be pro-
ceeded against or not.

Bethel flag, sent by the ladies and
Sabbath schools of Portland, to the
ladies and Sabbath schools of Seat
tie, will be formally presented by
Mrs. Chaplain Stubs in Yes
ler's Hall at 3 o'clock tomorrow,

the ladies and Sabbath schools the
use of his ship Immediately after

purpose of hoisting the emblem.
The exercises will doubtless be quite
interesting. Mrs. A. J. Hauford

An ITEM FOR BUSINESS MEN. = In
the case of Jameson VS.. Mastin,
pending at Steilacoom, on an ac-
count for goods, wares and merchan-
disc sold to defendant, on credit, the
defendant admitted purchasing the
goods, but claimed that he was to
pay for them when it was convenient
for him. To this answer plaintiff
demurred. The Court-Chief JUS
tice Lewis--overruled the demurrer,
holding that " if it was convenient
for defendant to pay the account un-
til the Judgment day. he could
not be compelled to pay it sooner. "
