been published. 1t shows the receipts of
the past year, from all sources (ncluding
$40 81 on hand October l, 1881. to have

bring the total up to Sc, $50 81 1t has dis
bursed during the year, in addition to the
cash sums above mentioned clothing, pro

The whole number of persons assisted
during the year amounts to 1,SS5. On the
1st of October last the Association had on
its list Of poor no less than 81 persons
three men, 2S women and 81 children.
The officers of the Association call atten-
ton to the fact that the membership is
falling off, and something must be done to
increase the available monthly resources.
There are now but Iii contributing mem
bers, which is certainly poor showing in
city the white population of which is at
least $4,000. The Association proposes TO
ask the Legislature to pass poor law, and
has officially requested all cities and towns
interested 10 aid in securing the passage OF
such 4 law. 1t is certainly time that some
thing of the kind be done
How TO STORE HoPs.-Emmet Wells
Hop Circular, dated New York, October
3lst has this to say about storing hops,
which no doubt Will interest many in this
vicinity who are in the hop business We
notice by our Pacific coast advices that
large quantities Of hops are being stored on
the San Francisco market. This is rather
Il departure from the usual rule, rs in for
mer seasons hops were forwarded through
to New York and London as soon rs ready
for market. These hops should be care
~, " watched and the bales stacked head
8p0n head, and not on the flat. as they re-
Nluire proper and full amount of ventila-
ton in order to keep them from heating
and, before being shipped East, every bale
should be pierced with q " tricr, in order
to ascertain that they are in a sound condi-
ton, and not liable to heat during transit.
either on the way hither or to Europe, by
reason OF slack dryingor improper packing.
Gable adyices report a dull and dropping
market in London, while mail advices
speak of little or nothing doing as vet in
a
very encouraging outlook for exporters, and
verifies the prediction set forth in a late cir
cular that we would be likely 10 see a tluc-
tuating market. The Nuremberg market
is in much the same shape as Ours-heavy
receipts and little demand, with 4 low ten
dency in prices.
SrUp-HoRsE PoKER.-A San Francisco
paper says: Chief Crowley is good off
Ger. He las suppressed stud-horse poker
and driven the bunko shaib s out of town"
If Chief Crowley wishes to win additional
laurels he can dc SO by transmitting his
moduS Operandi to the Chief of Police in
interior towns and cities Stud horse poker
is doing more TO degrade, ruin and debauch
young men in Sacramento than anything
ever has in her past history. The faro
bank. opium smoking, and intemperance
have to take a back scat. The number of
Stud-horse games in this city is aston
ishing. They are to be found in hotels,
cigar-stands saloons. beer dives and low
groggerieS where the youth are nightly
inyegled, and lured on to destruction. If
employers would take an occasional look
into those places, they would find many of
their trusted clerks playing at this game,
where the percentage 10 the dealer is so
large that II is only a question of the num-
Der of deals until he has all in sight.
Chief Crowley did his duty, as a good Off
Ger. and deserves the thanks ofthe commu-
nifty when he suppressed the greatest Of
gambling evils
