9P. NJ. a shock of earthquake was felt in
Guayaauil. At midnight on the 18th inst, loud
rnmblinq noises were heard, and they con-
tinued up to last accounts. These noises were
heard in different parts of the country. On
the night of the 18th there was fall of ashes
at Guayaquil. These phenomena were at first
attributed to the eruption of Cotapaxi, but
intelligence has been received from the inte-
rior to the effect that there has been terrible
eruption of the Tunguragua volcano. No
particulars have been received, and nothing
Is known as to the extent of the damage.

party accused the other of cheating. Instant
iy four revolvers were out and four shots were
fred at the same instant. The woman ran
FROM the room and left the combatants penned
in small space shooting at one other. Tween
ty-two shots were exchanged. When the
shooting had stopped the woman went into the
room and found three of the men dead, and
the fourth so badly wounded that he was un-
able to speak. George Gray had seven bullet
holes in his body; Stivers lay with four balls
sent into his breast, and Theo. Benge was shot
five times; Dan Gray lay not dead, but un-
conscious, with two bullet holes in his head.

The requirement of money seemed TO be their
highest aim in life, and the whole family Of
seven sons and FIVE daughters deprived them
selves of the necessities of life in order to gain
it. About three years ago stranger visited
their home, and, after convincing them that
they could in short time largely increase

any previous like period of the coun

production recorded is for 1881, be-
ing SITS, 122 tons. The report of

produced in 1856 will aggregate a
much larger amount than ever before

The effort made to enlist capital to
establish beet sugar factory in
Washington Territory has thus far
failed-partly Tor the reason of the
admission of sugar free of duty from
Hawaiian Islands, which made in
tending investors fear a ruinous hos
tile monopoly, built upon the mistak-
en- policy CT our government. Anoth-
OF potent factor, however, in solving
this question is the collection or re-
liable data bearing upon the natural
advantages OF this Territory for the
ultimate success of this industry
when once established, 50 arranged
and complete as to convince the most
skeptical mind or Gmid capitalist.
The first can only be reached by gov
ernment action, the latter problem,
however, lies within ourselves to
solve. To facilitate This work ar
rangements have been made to test
beets, at Puyallup, for their sugar
producing qualities. All farmers
growing suger beets in the territory
are earnestly requested to send sam
piles of their growth from time to
tlme, as tle season progresses, TO
Puyallup, where the same Will be
tested. free of charge and a statement
of the result sent to the donor. 4
tabulated statement of all the growths
tested, from all parts of the Territory
will be sent to each contributor at
the end of the season. It is neces-
sary to urge the Importance of this
work, but [ may be pardoned for
suggesting the great Importance OF
not neglecting the opportunity here
afforded.
Farmers, it lies with you to demon
strate beyond all question cf feast
bility of establishing not one, but a
hundred sugar factories in our midst.
and to build up far greater industry
than any which now exists in the
Territory, diversifying our interests,
populating our Territory, increasing
our wealth, developing our resources,
and making our Territory the leading
sugar producing country of this con-
tiIent. Address,

German hops come in direct competition
with them, coming down to 20 to -
