A letter from D. B. Hale of Collinsville,

A letter from D. B. Hale of Collinsville, published in the Hartford Post, may be of interest to some: ssThe recent death of George Sexton in Hartford, once prom inent merchant, and native of Somers, brings to the mind of the writer remark able resuscitation of drowned boy in Somers over sixty years ago. We had the facts at the time from Somers people. Kellogg Sexton and his brother (we think the late Loren Sexton of Hartford) were returning from school on summer after noon, and contrary to express commands, boy like, went around by an unused saw mill to play in the water. Kellogg fell in- to the Hume where the water was over his head, and sank to the bottom. The frightened brother fingered there for some time, fearing to go home. On reaching home, half mile distant, he went into the moving lot where his father was at work, who asked him where Kellogg was. The lad began to cry, and with great re- luctance told his sorrowful tale. The fran tic father at once ran with all haste 10 the place indicated, and plunging in, brought up the lifeless body of his boy aud carried him home, where after much rubbing and and finally recovered, but for some years his growth seemed greatly checked. After resuscitation the lad stated how he felt while drowning. After the first painful sensation Was over he lay quietly on his back, entirely free from pain, and saw his brother looking down upon him. Very soou all light seemed to fade away. He said he suffered the most terrible agony when he began to gasp for breath. It was estimated that the boy remained in the water full half hour before his father took him out"
 THE GREAT WEST END BUS CoMPANY.-Mr. s. Child, Manager of the West-End Bus Con- pany, Auckland, New Zealand, states in the Daily Herald of that city, as fo lows: We have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the efficacy of St Jacobs Oil Its success has been particularly marked in one case of lameness; that of very valuable horse suffer ing from severe sprain of the back sinews, so severe as to defy the usual remedies. Other remedies having failed, we were induced to try St Jacobs Oil, and after using it for few days, the lameness which was almost chron- ic, entirely disappeared, and the horse has since stood constant work We have also used the Oil most successfully for bruises. II is remedy that should be at hand in every stable.

second Bull Run and Chantiliy, a pri-
vate soldier belonging to au Ohio reei-

for military campaign which must
certainly result in crushing oHt the re-
belhon. The officer very naturally ia
quired for particulars, but the soldier
refused to reveal them, and asked for
an opportunity to lay his plans before
Pope himself. After some delay he WAS
given a pass to headquarters. He did
not get to see Pope, but, after the
chief of staff had coaxed, and prom

EDITOR PosT-ISTELLIGEScRH:

EDITOR PosT-IsrEILlGEScRs:
In your weekly of J1ly slst are two
articles in regard to the name Of Hoods
Canal; one from the University camp,
which hints that the name was given to
the water because of the killing of Capt.
Hood on its shores; and the other by
z. h. Arnold, which says that the name
Was given BY Vancouver in honor of
Lord Hood, then Lord of the Admiralty.
A residence of ten years on the Canal
has made me Interested in these arti-
cies. Some years ago had occasion to
look into the origin of the name. and
think that the facts related in both ar
tIcles are true.
| have heard many times. both from
the Indians on the Sound and the older
white settlers, the story of the killing of
Capt. Hood on Hoods Spit. only With a
little variation from that given by the
writer from the University camp. The
version | have heard states that only
Capt. Hood was killed by single In
dian. and that he alone Was to blame
for II, no other Indians having been
implicated in the act; and have beer
shown by the Indians the place where
this Indian is said to have escaped and
left the water on the opposite side OF
the Canal. However, the story given BY
he University camp is as likely to be
tie true one as this. Bot probably here
at east Capt. Hood was killed
blve also looked through Vancou
ysr'- ssy ages and there found that he
named ~ Canal in 1892, which was EVIL
IDENTITY long before Captain Hood was
hlia5 Bic lakss no mention of any of
trs c.LceEs aa,1g killed on ths Canal.
a. inclined TO the opinion that con-
fusion hss arisen in the minds of some
beoauss If tie fact that two persons of
tue same name were connected with the
Canal. First Vancouver named it, as
& led; afterward Capt. Hood was killed
IN the point few miles above Seaoeck,
called Hoods Spit, and this was the
cause of its receiving the name; for ii
is not probable that Vancouver named
al the points along the shores OF the
Canal.
Ii others know anything more about
these things, should be glad to hear
from them. NJ. EELLs.

CASH PRICE LIST.


Usual advance for small packages.
For Walla Walia and Dayton, prices
40. below these all round; for Colfax,
W. L., 40. below, and for Spokane
Falls Ssc. per pound less. This makes
the price of sugar for the latter 81 80. per
pound, taking patent cube as ths basis.
When compared with San Francis 20
prices, il must be admitted that this
new feature is worthy the serious con-
sideratioI of jobbing merchants. 1t is
difficult to understand the Justice of 81
0. per pound for cube sugar here, when
it can be sold at Spokane Falls for 80
ceuts.
A contemporary says: "What makes
it moro surprising is that San Francisco
has direct water communication from
New York, while the interior points
must rely on rail freights from the East.
This Is one of the features of the con-
tract system. 1t Is understood that job.
bers here are under contract with the
California Refinery not to purchase or
handle Eastern sugar; hence the reason
for this condition OF things. 1t is the
direct result of the absence of that
wholesome competition in the sugar re-
timing business which exists In every
other important market, and 50 long as
II il continued there is little ROOM to
dpubs that jobbers here will be placed
At disadvantage in competing for all
except the local trade. Ii seems alb
surd that consumers in this State should
be obliged to pay from one to two cents
per pound more for suRar than consum
ers elsewhere in the United States, when
that commodity should be cheaper in
thia tn /, N in auv Othar markat in this
country"
Ii would appear from the foregoing
that the local market IL no criterion for
markets where competition with East
srn refined sugar is to be met. Prices
for sugar for shipment 10 Denver, Salt
l. Ike and Omaha have for long tine
been 10 TO 20 per cent. below those made
by the refiners for San Francisco. Later
il was discovered that Les Angeles was
in position to purchase sugar Ia Eastern
markets aud lay it down at less price
than from this market. Then special
prioe was made for that city. While
this has been going on the iobbing GRO
GERS Of San Francisco have looked on
silently, feeling that they we're power
less to change the conditions which
we're gradually taking trade from this
city and building up trade in other CIT
les at their expense. There is, however,
a limit to human endurance. The new
development In this branch Of business
il likely to test this virtue in our mer-
chants. Since the opening of the North.
ern Pacific Railroad, points in WASH
ington Territory have developed sharp
competition between this and Eastern
| cities.

We have recently alluded to the free
of refined sugars from the
East, via the Ctpe. This is the renewal
of what We were accustomed to prior to
the receipt of free Hawaiian sugar, and
to the sugar combination that has of
late years been in vogue here upon the
Pacific Coast. Within the year past
st. Louis refiners have been drawing
considerable free Hawaiian sugar across
the continent, the same having been
purchased direct of the island planters.
Recently there appears to have been new
price schedules presented by the Cali
fornia Refinery, which are somev hat
startling to the jobbers of this city.
These llsts are four In number, and COW
or four points, each with q different
scale of prices, viz: Seattle. Walla Walla
and Dayton, Colfax and Spokane Falls.
The list for Seattle is as follows:
