The following anecdote is related of Mr..
James Sheaf. who years ago was leading

that man had purchased some wool of him,
which had been weighed and paid for and

while there, lie saw in II glass which swung
so as to reflect the shop, stout arm reach
up and take from the shclfa heavy oak
cheese Instead of appearing suddenly and
rebukng him for the theft, rs another would,
and thereby losing his custom forever, the
crafty old gentleman gave the thief his
change as if nothing had happened, and then,
under pretense of lifting the bag to lay it on
his horse for him, took hold of it and eXclaim-
ed:
why, bless me, | NUT have rcckoncd the
weight wrong

you have not, for counted with YOU"
"Well, well, we won't dispute the matter {;

bag into the scales again.

In 1885 Colonel Archibald Yell, of Arkan-

were to dine together on certain day, and

allow him TO take part in what he called their

tiers of beef. He then inquired: "Who are
the poorest families in the ncighborhood ?"
On being informed lie sent them all the beef
he had won, with his compliments.
Mounting their horses they soon arrived
at camp.mceting on the wayside. There
they tarricd several hours When the COM

for Colonel Yell, but could not find him. At
length he went up near the altar and there
stood Colonel Yell, singing at the top of his
voice: How firm foundation, We saints of
the Lord" The reader can imagine his sur
prise. With some difficulty he succeeded in
getting Colonel Yell out from amongst the
brethren, took him to one side and said -

Yell. "OH the track" responded he II see

MAJOR HENRY II. PIERCE. U. .. A

The gallant and accomplished officer
and gentleman whose name pre6xes this
article died on the 18th of July, al Foster
Creek, Wash. Territory, at about the age of
43. His death will come like personal
loss to thousands of people who knew him
personally or were familiar with his writ
ings. He was born in the state of Connec.
ticut, and was educated at Trinity College,
Hartford. His intellectual training was of
the most thorough character. He was an
erudite mathematician, and excellent lin.
guist, and was more or less familiar with al
most every branch of human knowledge
As Latin scholar he was not excelled in
America. He did not claim for himself
such nice knowledge Of this language as
would enable him to detect, claimed by ped
ants, in the flavor, so to speak. of q sen.
tence whether it had been written On the
Tiber or in one of the Provinces, but the

This work is monument Of patient toll and
accurate scholarship. 1t has already be-

cause Of pressing necessity of another

pupils in attendance than four teachers could
properly attend to, and the number of pu-
pills increasing every week. Mrs. DIETRICH,
the teacher, is a sister OF Mrs. j. A. Snod-

fore the fall term commences. The upper
rooms will also be hard finished, which will
work putting up the porches at the en-
frances, and doing some other finishing
work about the building
The affairs of the public school are in good
condition, and it will compare favorably
with the graded school of any other
towH in the Territory. Much Of this credit
is due to have live and energetic school
board, which has been backed by . newly
awakened public spirit Of our citizsns, and

they will flourish and build up Vancouver.
