The Bazar and Supper at Citizens
Hall on Thursday evening last, by the
Ladies' of Grace Church and 3. 3. So
ciety, was very largely attended, and
the source of much social enjoyment.
The supper was all that could be de-
siren, and the booths for the sale of
fancy and useful articles We're very at
tractively arranged and received, as
they deserved,a "a very liberal patronage.
The center ef attraction was the hand
some silk quilt, very beautifully made,
by the young Misses of the 3. B. Soci-
ETY., which was disposed of by shares
eighty shares being sold at so cents
per share, which netted the Society the
nice little sum of $40. At s p. m. the
drawing took place, the last number
drawn to be the lucky one, which was
number 50. held by Mrs. Talmadge.
On Saturday morning after receiving
the prize, Mrs. Talmadge sent dona-

Where the beef supply of the future
is coming from is q query of general
interest from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and no less so here than in New England.
The days Of the vast herds OF Texas,
New Mexico, Dakota, Montana, Oregon
and Washington are numbered. The
ranges have in some cases been eaten
out, and in others 20 cut up by farms,
towns and railroads as to be practically
destroyed. This means, We believe, an
end to cheap beef. The market Of the
future will depend entirely upon the
millions Of producers scattered over
the country. The price being raised. II
will be worth the while of all farmers
TO market more or less meat; I'd this
they will do, the butchers getting their
supplies from the general farmers Of the
country instead of the few drovers and
cattle men. The change will be for the
better, We believe, insuring an improved
quality of meat. We will feel the effect
in Western Washington in this way.
Farmers will all raise cattle, sheep and
hogs when they can get for their meat
prices like those now ruling in the mar
ks:. There is no better country than
this for dairying. and when in addition
to the profits to be derived from
milk; butter and cheese, a fine margin
OF profit is to be derived from the meat,
We may safely look for ''boom" in
stock farming hardly to be surpassed by
that in the production of hops.

,soRMoxIsm WEAKENING.

Morrnonism is bad enough, no doubt,
but it is far from being 50 terrible
menace as usually stated. There u
no reason for supposing the adherents
of this faith number to exceed leo'Wo'
and they have been forty years reach
ING that number. They occupy Ctah'
Colorado, Nevada, Arizona and ldaho'
l3O, 600 of them being in Utah and ~
600 in the other four States and Terri
tories. How does this growth compare
with the increase of population general
win that regionf When the Nor
mons moved to Salt Lake none of the
political divisions named existed, and
all were uninhabited by white men
Now Utah claims 10000 inhabitants
Nevada 6O.OOO, Idaho 10000, Arizona
10000, and Colorado 100000. In other
words while the Mormons have reached
100000 in number, those OF dissenting
faith have got to $4,000, and are today
nearly four times AZ numerous az tns
Mormons themselves. There ID no rea-
son for estimating the Mormon increase
at more than 10000 year, while 5o"o
will not equal the increase Of non-Mor-
mons in the two States and three Terri
tories referred to. Even in Utah the
Mormons are relatively losing ground.
Thirty wears ago there were none but
Mormons in the Territory, and twenty
wears AGO a mere handful, perhaps
thousand souls, would cover the number
az all in the Territory not connected
vfth ths polygamous church. The num-
bar today is 10000, and they include an
element Of wealth and strength and re-
spectability that has a wonderfully re-
strainipg influence upon the majority
nv whom they are surrounded. No
LONGER do we hear OF Mormons melting
Indians to massaores, and no longer IL
IL necessary to keep strong Rarrisons
there to overawe the rebellious element.
Things have not yet fully settled there,
but they are coming down gradually and
quietly. The Mormons recognize the
growing strength Of the "Gentiies'
among them, and from this fact and
the disturbance abroad they realize that
ere long one tenet of their religion
plural marriage-must soon be rslin-
auished. To tho others the world does
not object. The Mormon region which
now contains 100000 inhabitants, ten
years hence will contain 100000, not
more than $4,000 of whom will be Nor
mons. and if the l,750,0O0 allow the
100000 to rule them it will not be for
more distant parts of the Union to say

MARINE INSURANCE,

A decision has just been rendered by
the United States Supreme Court which
will have a good deal of Importance III
governing the future action OF marine
insurance companies. The case arose
by reason of the reinsurance by the
San Mutual Insurance Co., of Portland,
Me-, on property on board a ship char
tered for voyage from New York to
Sun Francisco. Il was alleged by the
Sun Company that III obtaining this re-
insurance the Ocean Company virtually
concealed some of the facts relating 10
the charter Of the ship, hence it, the
Sun Company, was not liable on its re-
insurance for the loss incurred. The
Circuit Court did not agree to thu
views of the Sun Company, and the
case went up to the Supreme Court on
appeal. According to the decision rem
dered, there was concealment Of facts,
as charged, and it is held that such con
cealment, whether Intentional or mad
vertant, voided the policy, il ncutel,
intended to cover the risk for which tn
claim is made. In respect to the dut,
of disclosing all material facts, the cas'
of reinsurance does not differ, in the
opinion of this court, from that of ~
original insurance. The duty OF com
munication, indeed, is independent OF
the intention, and ia violated by the fact
OF ooncealment, even where there is NJ
design to deceive; this duty may, il
some instances, DO greater and NOR.
binding In case Of reinsurance than a.
between the parties to an original insur.
ance; in the former the party seekin,
10 shift the risk he has taken is bouno
to communicate his knowledge of tn,
character of the original insurance
where suoh information would DO likel,
to influence the Judgment of an under
writer, while in the latter the party 81,
not bound, nor could it DO expected
shat he should speak evil Of himself
III the light of this decision 1t is evident
that a greater care will hsnceforth hav,
to be maintained in the matter Of rein
surance.

The Congregational Academy, at
Steilaooom, opened on Wednesday with
over forty pupils enrolled, and Prof.
