Notes Of me ". {. +. o.. Convention.

The attendance at the last State Cen
vention held at Eugene, was not as
large as usual. Some of the leaders in
the work being detained by sickness,
and other causes; but the meeting
was harmonious and in
tensely interesting. The business was
carried oa in due accordance with par
lianaentary rules, which seemed to
cause surprise, to some of the gentle
men in attendance, and won eucom-

discussion on the question of finance,
trying to ascertain the best ways for
raising and applying money.
The Presidents address was very
timely and practical, and met with fav-

elected were Mrs. Henrietta Brown, of
Albany, as corresponding secretary

recording secretary, and Miss L. Z.

With the exception of Eugene, Al

being perpetrated upon the people, al
most every day. One man is gulled

for 500 organ, or $50 for n $40 sewing

in the following item clippen from the
Oregonian, pay $3.50 for some cheap
goods they did not want, simply be
cause some well dressed, sleek-tongued
stranger came along and asked them TO
do so. No doubt the same people
would feel that they were being robbed,
IL their merchants were to ask them a
reasonable profit on reliable goods, that
could be depended upon being just
what they were represented to be.

Just after sunset line of torches was
seen approaching Gold Hill, and Grid
ley and his wagon were escorted
to the public square of Virginia City
by several thousand of the citizens. The
square was packed and every one was
there for business. When the flour was
put up perfect pandemonium broke
out; bids followed each other in rapid
succession, and those in the -throng who
could not reach the auctioneer threw
gold pieces by handfuls into the wagon.
Nhen the auction was over and the
money counted, it was found that Vir-
glnia City had contributed more than
$1,000 to the funds of the sanitary COM
mission.
The sack was afterwards sold in
Carson City, San Francisco and other
Western points, and afterwards brought
to the great sanitary fair in st. Louis.
Here it was exhibited, and afterwards
the flour was baked into small cakes
and sold at high price. When a bal

that Gridley'S bet had been the means
