Grated goods received from Los Angeles
The southern berries were offered at sharply
reduced rates. and as they continued to and
the most favor with buyers, prices for the

were only two cars, and, although trade was
rather quiet, the market ruled strong. the
hrmness at shipping points being reflected here.
Some receivers were asking S2.75 box for
their best brands OF naTels but that price IS
hardly quotable yet although the cost Of
the fruit warrants sellers in asking i'll. There
were new arrivals of any consequence in

LAND WILLED TO GOD.
Philadelphia Couple Leave Property
for Peculiar Purpose.

In La Porte, Pa, has been discover
land to God. The instrument was
made by Peter E. Armstrong and
wife. once rich residents of Sullivan
county. Pas and is dated Aug. 3, 1864.
The couple. so far as is known, were
not members of a religious sect, but
gave the portion of their property as
the deed says, that his saints may be
fully separated from the world and
gather together and enjoy that light
and liberty which they did in the once
faithful days of their theocracy."
Whereas the deed continues, lin

past and present, which we do humb-
ly acknowledge, and for the exceeding
great and precious promise of unend-
ing life to those who in holy faith
and patience wait for the coming of
his anointed son TO Judge the world.
which promises we have received
from Him who is creator and original
grantor OF earth's territory to the chill
dren of men-we do by these presents
deed, grant and convey to Almighty
God. who inhabiteth eternity. and to
his heirs. to the intent that 1t shall

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild Ones All Descended from Those
Once Domesticated.

All the honey bees in this country
having originally been imported from
Europe or Aisa, there is no racial all
ference between the wild ones and the
domesticated; those that live in trees
are simply the descendants OF those
that from time to time have taken
French leave" from their owners
hives. and reverted to state of ma
ture. The vast bulk of the wild bees
are of the German or black race, whl.e
the standard domesticated bee is the
Italian: but that, however is only be-
cause the Germans were the first 10
be introduced here. Just when the
Germans came is in doubt, but 1t was
some time in the seventeenth centu-
ry; certainly il was not until near
the close of the eighteenth century
