and read:
The managers Of the Holly Tree Inn Asso-
citation offer their ninth annual report for the
year ending September, 1883, to the stock
holders, having nothing of special Importance
to impart, but feeling assured that the Innis
doing good work in the community. There
have been periods CT encouragement for the
managers, but at present the prospect il ell
couraging for the good that we hope il to be
done during the coming winter. The Inn was
best patronized during the months OF July
and August, and least in February. The num-
ber of meals served during July (the largest
month"; was 9,340, and i'll February 4,405,
independent of the meals for the required
help. An average of 1900 loayes of bread
and $50 quarts of milk are used each month.
One has but to walk at the lower end of
Market street to feel the need of earnest
practical work in the temperance cause. The
establishment of the Holly Tree Inn closed
one place of temptation, and we earnestly
hope that our friends, having the matter OF
the Friendly Inn at heart, will succeed in
establishing it where they feel it is most
needed but there Is also a positive need for
public workhouse for the accommodation of
the class of people who are beyond the reach
of 80 excellent an institution as the Holly
Tree Inn Association. The Inn is for people
who respect themselves, and we need u work
house to force IL certain class of people to
respect the community at large, and the laws
of the community then the Inn would have
fewer discouragements. We would be PLEASED
to have the stockholders visit the Inn at any
time and zee for themselves the good that
we feel is being done by the association.

Doing THIS Winter.

The yourg ladies' branch OF th- w G.
+ U. of this city, which has done much
effective work since its organization, is il
readiness tor an activs winter 3 campaign.
The union now has 20 active members
and many honorary oues, with the follow
ing officers President, Mise Fannie

Eighth and Kirkwood streets, and it is
kept we'll supplied with papers and in
structive books. 1t is free to all and

Our oyster Laws.


Unless Maryland and Vir3inia, Della
ware aud New Jersey make radical
changes in the laws governing the fishery
industry they will see the oyster trade
depart from them. Much depends upon
the oouree of legislation in the two former
states. If the example OF Connecticut is
follow ed, and oy ster culture encouraged
by substituting policy which will
permit the actual possession of
considerable tracts of oyster ground
by the cultiyator for the present
policy, which holds the entire area as
common pro- oterty, revival of the oyster
business may occur in a few years /; but
unless some such policy is adopted, all
other measures, necessarily of an empir-
ical psture, can afford hut temporary
reliei to the beds and none to the market;
and in spite of legislators and soiAntists
the consumer will be compelled to pay
high and increasing prices for oysters,
whose abundance and cheapness have
heretofore been so great source of con-
graduation.

DANGEROUS Sport.
Patrick Murphy Almost Fatally
wounds Harry Mcdowell.

Harry Mcdowell OF No. 1924 Poplar
street, narrowly escaped death from a
razor thrust made by Patrick Murphy,
living at No. Sl3 Walnut street, Fri
day afternoon. About O'Clock nearly a
dozen boys were standing on the corner
of Ninth and Lombard streets. Two of
the lads, Murphy and Clark, hal rszors,
the latter Ave, it is said. As McDo ell
approached the crowd Murphy said to
Clark "1et's frighten him." Stepping up
to Mcdowell, Murphy remarked "I'm
going to out you" Mcdowell made no
reply and Murphy made thrust
at him, striking him in the left arm.
The sharp instI ument cut through the
boys clothing and diagonally into his
arm to the bone, making a cut about four
inches in length and coming within half
an inch of the brachial artery. Had the
latter BEEN cut the lad would probably
have bled to death. The wound was
bandaged by James IL. Morgan, druggist,
and DR.. Ksables was summoned. Be
closed the wound by inserting seven deep
stitches in the arm. Mcdowell passed 3
restless night, but was slightly better
this morning. 1t is supposed that Muir
ply did not cut him Intentionally. Both
Clark and Murphy bear unenviable repu-
tations.

amman BUTTER.
Quantities of sntna, OteOniargartne
and Bmtterine Sold in This city -
Am Infracfion of The Law.
Ia,x In attn,,l L..


Farin-rs and dairymeu who attend the
markets in this city complain cons der
ably that hucksters and some of the COM
mission men here are allowed to sell ol4p-
margarine, suine spd butterine IS the
genuine dairy product. The extensive
sale of this greasy product, they
claim, cuts into their trade, as
the artificial article can be sold at
q heavy profit at considerably less than
the genuine. Discussing the matter
with some of the farmers it was learned
that the cmplainants do not care how
much of the spurious butter is sold here,
If the dealers will not palm 1t off on the
public as genuine.
A gentleman who has recently been
imposed upon several times by the dealers
iu counterfeit butter has in meas ure in
vestigated the matter, and estimates that
a Thousand pounds of factory made butter
are sold here every week. He does not
recall seeing any of the artificial butter
labeled ,and il there were any designating
marks upon the vessel out of which it was
sold he says they were either very faint
or concealed in some way. Whether or
not it is the intention of the dealers to
impose the spurious butter on the public
it is impossible to state, but the informant
says it was sold to him when he II qGii ed
of the dealer for tresh butter.
The artificial butter comes from the
manufacturer in rolls or in neat pound
prints and in appearance, taste and
smell, is an exact counterfeit OF the
genuine. IT. can bs detected Only with
difficulty, the manufacture having
reached such point that an aualy sis is
often required to distinguish ii. 1t is
made % is we'll known of fatty sub
stances su h as tallow, &c, which is
treated chemically. A report by q leading
chemist on the subject sets forth that
there is nothing in the mixture that is
particularly hurtful to the system, yet it
is not so wholesome az butter.
AT the last session of the Legislature
law passed governing the sale OF al ititicial
butter, which provides that all dealers
in oleomargerine, suine or butterine,
shaIl label their goods with the name in
ietters l by inch. Falling to do this
they IRE liatle to fine of $50, half OF
which gees to the informer.
The commission men aud hucksters who
have been spoken to with reference to the
matter state tuat the farmers aud dairy
people purchase but;erine, or any of the
othsi kinds, from the manufacturer aud
mix it with genuine butter, and
sell the mixture as pure
article. This st.ttu3nt is in a
measure borne out by the fact that
cousignments of artificial butter are fire.
quently made to farmers in this vicinity.
The matter has bssn brought 10 the
attention of Clerk of the Market Ainsoow,
who will endsavor to see that the law
requiring artificial butter to be lab ,led is
0beyed in the future.

reporter Thursday morning in his sludv st
Tenth and Market streets In apparently,
much b b.t'er health and spirits than when
he left this city in May lart.
MIR DuVal spokein glowing tr' ms OF the
climate, soil and productive qualities OF
California, he having spent the greater
part of his time in San Jose, Santa Clara
county. In fact he said that i. was The
land OF fruit and there was no real
winter there, and no real warn weather,
all during the summer months fall
clothing and blankets being comfortable.
In speaking of the people Mr.. DnVal
said that they were of broad hOspltable
nature, and that all natiopalities were
represented there.
In reply the reverend gentleman said
that when a man goes to California the
question does not arise who his anteca.
dents are but that he is put to a test and
and to use the miners expression, see
how he ''pans OUT; then if he proves
himself man in every respect he is
placed among the leaders. "People of a
worthy character gravitste together" he
said "and men are carstul, | may say
precise, to exclude anything that is not
honor bright"
The reporter finally asked Mr.. DuVal
whether or not he would accept the call
extended to. him by the Firs: Presby-
terian Church in San Jose, and he seid
that he received an informal call
while he WAS in California, but
that he did not receive formal
call until yesterday week ,and it WAS made
much against his will Further, the
matter had been so strongly put to his
conscience that he would have to thor
oushly consider 1t before making any
definite answer. Mr.. DuVal spoke of his
strong affection for his congregation in
this city in connection with the matter.
