 We much regret to learn that Mrs. Webber will leave the city on the next trip of the Elder. She will go to Hon. olulu for the purpose of making that her home. Mrs. w. has resided in Fort Wrangel for the past four or five months, and during that time has made friends of all she has met. She is one of those live, wide awake, ener- getic women that brings order out of chaos-success where others fail, and we doubt not that she will find the new possessions a good place. We regret much that our town is to lose Mrs. Webber. We can't afford it, but then what is our loss will be gain to the place where she locates.
