The STANDARD feels parjonable pride
IN calling the attention of its constantly
increasing family Of readers TO its we'll

abroad for our community, as frequent

spccklcd beauties from a hole" in the
Deschuttcs. and almost every day since,
the table Of his hotel at the junction has
been supplied with this favorite relish of
cpicurcan taste, served in manner that
would delight the gods. No more IA
vorcd resort for the sportsman can be
found In Western Washington than the
woods and streams about Tennio.

A gentleman living in San Francisco,
named Stern, visiting Olympia, few
days ago, was attracted into the New
York Cash Store by some elegant sateens
displayed by that enterprising firm.
He was 10 pleased with the quality of
the goods and the prices At which they
were sold that he Immediately bought
complete dress patterns tor his two neices
In the Bay City, paying about $40 for
goods which some Of our people think
can only he bought satisfactorily from
city stores. The fact is the railroad has
20 completely annihilated distance and
cqualixsd values as to fairly make our
western towns suburban adjuncts to the
great marts Of business.
Mr.. Henry Gunstone, q farmer living
In the vicinity Of South Union, met with
. serious pecuniary loss. last Friday.
While he was at work in the field, his
house accidently caught fire and was
burned to the ground with about every
thing II contained. The women, who
were the occupants Of the house at the
time, were sitting quietly at work when
their attention was suddenly attracted
by the cracking flames upon the roof.
They had barely time to save sewing
machine and several other pieces of
furniture only, all else being consumed.
II seem that the fire caught from heated
stove-pipc which passed from the attic
though the roof. Mr.. Gunstone bad
procured material to build good brick
chimney, but neglecting to put his plans
into immediate execution, the untoward
result is as above related.
