PINK I PARTY.-One of the most in
teresting and pleasing parties that has
been given in this city for many years
was that given by the ladies of Sumner
Relief Corps, No. IL, at Changers Hall,
last evening. The society is one composed
of ladies, who have for their sole object the
care of the families of indigents who
fought for the Union in 1.-The late unpleas-
antness." Their object being SO worthy,
they never fail of good patronage, and last
evening their hall was packed to It's utmost
capacity; and the receipts, which go to
assist the maintenance OF seven helpless
families, were quite large. The ladies who
manage the Corps, and through it do much
toward relieving suffering humanity, are /:
President, Mrs Mary G. Kent; Vice Presi-
dents, Mrs. Sarah Gent and Mrs. Sarah
Dodge; Secretary, Mrs. Hattie Medley :;
Treasurer, Miss Jennie Bell. The hall last
evening was most beautifully decorated,
and not the least among the floral pieces
was one presented TO the Corps by Mrs. E.
b. Crocker. 1t was a mammoth fan, made
entirely OF pink flowers, accompanied by
neat note from the donor, who always lends
helping hand to those whose object is
charity" All who entered the hall were
presented with pink Ia letter 7 cut
out of pink paper-and pink button-hole
bouquet. Refreshments were served in the
upper hall at II o'clock. Dancing was the
principal feature Of the evening, and was
kept up until q late hour.
QuMI.-Sportsmen report that quail are
more plentiful in this vicinity this year
than they have been for several seasons,
but, owing to the fact that no rain of con-
sequence has fallen, the shooting is not
tirst-class. In the foothills the birds are
represented TO be abundant. The Yolo pa
pers, however, report q scarcity in that sec
ton, even at the sink of Cache slough and
up Capay valley, where they are usually
found in great numbers. The Marvsville
appeal says that the hunters in that section
have been to the usual hunting grounds,
but have returned with empty bags, and
adds: II is difficult to tell why this scar
city of quail exists. 1t may be, rs some
hunter has suggested, that the feed and
water higher up in the mountains are more
plentiful than in former years, and the quail
have gone there in preference TO remaining
on the old grounds. In some parts of the
State the rayages of grasshoppers in the
valleys have made his retreat to The mount
aims necessary"
