NEW DEPARTURE.
Some of the sale bills in Northumber-
land this season contained the sentence :
“Sale to commence at ten o'clock and no
dinner.” The farmers over there found
it necessary to put a stop to the worths
less crowd that made ita point to visit
every sale only for the purpose of spong-
ing a free dinner.
The same might apply to free funeral
ting relatives. The house of mourning
is frequently turned into a house of feast
ing.
fi is a common thing for persons to
walk 8, 4 and 5 miles to a sale or funeral
simply because a free dinoer is to be
had, and the exhibition of gorging that
some display and capacity for putting
away “vittels” is astonishing.

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM
CALIFORNIA.
| The following letter was handed us
| tion of the growth and enterprise of Cal-
| fornia.
Pasapuna, Car. Man, b, 1888,
Dear Brorueg :—
| 1 am enjoying this
| delightful climate of California; we took
{a walk this afternoon and passed by
| orange groves and through peach
| orchards, which are in bloom. They tell
| us this place is not as pretty as it was
| several years sgo, as many of the orange
| groves have been sold and the ground
{ improved, The history of Pasadena for
| the past two years reads like an “Arabian
| Knight's” tale. In 1885 it bad a popula-
| tion of between two and three thousand,
| limited improvements had been made,
| there was not a brick business house in
i the place, nor a foot of side walk, but the
| fame of the place, its beauty and ite cli-
| mate, were becoming spread abroad by
tourists, and invalids who had regained
| their health. In June 1886 the town was
{ incorporated, and from that time, the de-
| velopment has been rapid; Suiing this
{ year the magnificent Raymond Hotel
costing $250,000 was completed, the Carl-
| ton Hotel and a half dozen others, a score
| of large business places and over eight
| hundred residences, Three street rail
| ways were completed and put in opera-
| tion. Many of the streets were graded
and to-day we have more than twenty-
five miles of the finest cement walk. All
{ this has been done voluntarily by the
property owners. The population of the
place to-day is twelve thousand. During
| the past twelve months an elegant pub-
| lic school building was finished at a cost |
of $40,000 without expense to the tax |
payers, the property held by the school |
district in the heart of the city was sold
| for more than enough to defray the exs
pensa of erecting the building supplied
| with a library, an aparatos room a large
| auditorium formed by throwing three
| rooms into one, class rooms, study rooms,
two pianos, also electrie bells and all nec-
| essary conveoances. We also have an |
| academy a number of privateschools and
two kindergarten. Pasadena is peculiar-
ly blessed with religious societies; the
people here are truly a church going
| people; in the past twelye months not
| less than $300,000 have been expended
| on church and social institutions and the
| church property to~day at actual valua-
tion goes over the enormous sum of five |
hundred thousand, two.years ago there
! were bat two churches in the city. Peo-
| ple give freely and liberally toward pub-
| lie charities of all kinds, there are eight
! or nine church organizations here now,
The new Presbyterian church is the larg-
| est, is not quite completed and will cost
over fifty thousand dollars. Ii is always
crowded in the morning, people are often
turned away for want of room, three |

store to make a few purchases. Upon
entering we found ourselves lost for a
moment—piles of new goods on every

that the firm had received their spring
and summer stock and had just finished
anpacking same. In conversation with

ed that they had made a special effort
this year to secure the best and finest
stock of Dress goods, and Fancy goods,
