RAID ON JACKSON CITY.-Sheriff
Neltch, of the county, yesterday drove
about two hundred Westinghouse out
of his beiliwick. Jackson City was his
objective point, and with five deputies,
two of whom were colored men, he
emptied the saloon of their customers.
Two or three shots were fired during
the raid by the deputies, but only as
warning. Approaching the crowd the
sheriff ordered all who lived in Wash
ington to betake themselves across the
bridge on pain of arrest. The crowd,
however, laughed and did not bulge,
but the sheriff, drawing a huge re-
volver, repeated the command. The
threat had the desired effect, and the
crowd made move for the bridge. One
of the party exclaimed "The sheriff
is the drunkest man in the crowd,n and
Mr.. Veitch ordered the deputies to
seize the man, which they did. A
friend of the arrested man rushed up to
his assistance, but backed away
when threatened with black
jack. The deputies took their prisoner
along, despite his resistance, and the
excitement increased to a high pitch.
The deputies finally released him and
more serious trouble was averted. AT
ter chasing the foreign element out of
Jackson City, Sheriff Yeitch dispersed
the Virginians, and retired from the
field, declaring that next Sunday he
would post force of deputies at the
south end of Long bridge, and prevent
anybody from the north side Of the
river from entering Jackson City.

TIE INFIRMARY.-In view Of the re-

work Of the Infirmary and the difficult
ties which have been encounted and
successfully overcome during the past
wear. the managers are specially glati-
lied at the continued interest manifest
ed in this one noble charity in our city.
During the past few months, as has
been stated, it has rendered most ell
Gent service, aud there are others now
within its walls reaping benefit from
,he skillful ministrations of those at
present in charge. 1t was an encourag-
ing sight to witness one and another
as they came with gifts of needed arti-
cies, and money, to aid in the WORK,
aud make glad the hearts of managers,
employees, and patients, and we feel
assured that they who thus helped to
tighten the burdens of these sufferers
experienced the reflex influence of their
charity, in their own homes and at
their own board, where all was more
attractive, and more fully enjoyed from
having been shared with others. II
was particularly cheering to see the
crowds of happy children coming with
their donations, thus early tasting the
blessedness of giving, and learning to
exercise their ministries of loving ser.
vice. May each and all, young and
old, realize in their own experience, the
