CHANCE TO BE A CADET.-A dispatch from
Washington, d. c., says that Representative
Budd yesterday appointed n. Greene Curtis,
of Sacramento Isaac Upham, of OAKLAND !;
and DR.. Thomas Phillips, of Stockton, a
Board of Examiners to inquire into the quail
ifcstions of candidates for admission as ca
diets to the West Point Military Academy.
1t appears that vacancy hiss been caused In
the cadetship for the Second Congressional
District of California by reason of the recent
reflections at West Point, and although Budd
might appoint any one of the applicants, he
prefers to have their qualifications passed
on by competent authority, on whose recon-
mendation he will set Ia this way he hopes
to avoid another failure. Budds proposed
Board will meet st Stockton April 20,f, or in
FIVE days thereafter, as the Board may elect.

West Point IN June.
BEEF CATTLE MovISG. - There passed
through the city yesterday twelve car loads
of beef cattle from Reno for Stockton, six
from Reno for the stockysrds at Oakland,
and ten for San Francisco from Wiunemucca.
The present outlook in beef cattle is very en-.
c0uragiug to those who have them on hand,
but the consumer may expect to pay we'll for
b ei for some time to come. The prices keep
up and good judges ssy there is no danger Of
fsll, but that prospects are fair for an sd.
vance in prime cattle. The supply in both
Oregon and Nevada, which can be marketed,
is said to be limited.
