A Remarkable Case.— followingis from the San Jose Mercury of August27th :Itis so seldom that married people tire

of each other a few hours after the knothas been tied, that a divorce case whichterminated before Judge Belden yesterdaymay not prove uninteresting as affordingground for speculation. On the 24th ofFebruary, 1879, R. H.Gouley, of this city,Itook unto himself a Normal School girl asa wife. That night they retired

—a quite

natural performance. The next morningshe arose with the lark, and took herselfbodily away from the board and bed ofher liege lord, staying not on the order ofher going. .*,. She then purchased a ticketoverland, and shook the dust of Californiafrom her feet. The forlornhusband waitedin vain for,her return, but she, came not.Then he .applied for a divorce from hisIsabella on the ground of desertion.' ;..Thiswas promptly granted by Judge Belden.At the time,of *her marriage !she ;was 22years of age— old;enough, it would seem,to know her own business and -_ fromneither of the two witnesses examined—the husband

'and another

—was the cause

of her leaving ascertained.

in this city having this advantage at purchasing; for even if others orderEast-, they can neither find a first-class house to fill their orders, nor can

they obtain as lowprices, unless they order in large quantities. The samei ' - '. ' -'\u25a0 ' ':"\u25a0'. -\u25a0

MESSES. O. A. HALE& CO., San Jose.— Gentlemen :AsIsee you are largelyinten sua in the welfare of your business in this city, you willnot be inthe way offixing the prices of COATS' SPOOL THKEADto GO cents per dozen inthis city. Whenall other merchants agree, Ibelieve it to be nothing but right and just to sell Threadnot for less than cost price. Ireceived the following for publication, incase anyonepersisting to sell COATS' THREAD for 50 cents a dozen :

[ri'l'V.l"Office of Kittle & Co., Etc., Etc., )

COATS' SPOOL COTTON at FiftyCents per dozen, without losing money or cheatinghis customers inother goods. Yours, truly, KITTLE& CO., y

, "Agents for J. & P. Coats on the Pacific coast."

You are respectfully requested, to consider this matter, and inform me and yourhouse inSacramento of your approval, so as to prevent the publication ofthe foregoingnotice. With great considerations, yours truly, A. COOLOT,

'"

(A.L.C.)P. S.

—All the merchants here are unanimous to sell it for 50 cents a dozen ifyou

won't agree to sell it for CO cents, so you see you willnot gain anything by doing so.This implies only in the city of Sacramento.

San Jose (Cal.), August IS, ISSO.MR. A. COOLOT, Sacramento, Cal.

—Sir :Yours of the 14th instant at band, and

"with great consideration,'' contents noted. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIMEATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DICTATE TO US terms upon which weshould do business, aud THREATS SIMILAR TO YOURS have been made, butwithout avail. It seems strange to us, Sir, that you, a Cigar and Tobacco Vendor,should be so interested in the prices of Dry Goods, unless you are in collusion withDry Goods Firms of your persuasion. YOU ARE MISTAKEN I.V YOUR MEN.We shall not enter any combination ; yoncan't bluffor frighten this firminto doing thatwhich they consider detrimental to the public welfare. We must distinctly state we.hall in any and allcases manage our affairs as we deem right and proper, whether itsuits you and your firms or not. Should we need assistance inarranging our prices atany time, we have your address.

Yours, with due respect, O. A. HALE & CO.,pek Conn.

A VOICE FROM THE SACRAMENTO HOUSE :It would be a work of superoragation for us to rise and explain.

"The gentle-

man's letter is a true index of what he and the combination wouldeffect, had they the

power, and this move of the Clique is a perfect Clock Face, with dexters indicating

what the price of Dry Goods woaldbe had they the control of the inside running. It

is apparent, from the reluctancy they manifest inrelinquishing their hold on the one

item (Spool Cotton), how firmlythey would rivet the chains and perpetuate a bondage,

no matter how withering in its effects, ifby so doing the said combination can corral a

few extra coins ;but it is the determination of HALE BROS, to cut right at the root

of this evil. We have done it in other cities, and let the Clique plot as they will, and

hold their secret sessions as they may, yet will we checkmate them. This coalition of

the trade is nothing new, excepting the person persona. We have been assailed and

persecuted in every town where our RADICAL FLAG has been unfurled. We have

been solicited to joincombinations. AYe have been cajoled and threatened by turns—

sweet molasses and the fiercest invective have been used alternately ;but rather than

partake of their sugar-coated pills,be cowedby their threats, or coerced by any tactics

of such Cliques, the HALE FLAG shall sink with the shot-torn wreck, but never be

unfurled as the Combination Colors. But, gentlemen of the combination, we wish you

to distinctly understand us. We are not to be extinguished ;we have never yet said"

Fail" in any of our enterprises— it argues well then that our business must be built

on the principle of"

Right," and we hold this principle as the mainspring of all our

endeavors. There is another view we may take of this matter :We consider we are

free agents, and as such we opine we can give our goods away if we choose, and we say

right here that our combined capital is such that we can well afford to give, if the

object of our charity is worthy, or if we feel likeit—but our system of working is, that

it distributes the good broadcast, by placing our chattels on such a low scale that all who

willmay profit. Willthe reader kindly followus a little further '! Whether the organ

(which Phrenologists designate "Causality !") has been fully developed in the writer

of the threatening letter, we leave the public to decide. We think his appreciation of

Cause and Effect must be somewhat limited;in one breath, he proposes through the

Agent to tellthe people of Sacramento that no merchant can sell genuine J. &P

COATS' SPOOL COTTON, at 50 cents per dozen, without losing money or cheating

his customer inother goods." Now,mark the la3t clause ! Almost in the same breath,

he (Mr. Coolot) says :"

Allthe merchants here are unanimous to sell it for 50 cents a

dozen, if you won't agree to sell it for 00 cents, so you see you willnot gain anything

|by doing so." Shades of Lindley Murray! We trust there are no Spiritualistic

Mediums mean enough to disturb your rest. But what will the public think of the

principle this last clause intheir letter embodies :First—

They tell you that we are

losing money by selling certain goods at 50 cents per dozen, or cheating the customer

in other goods ;but if we, HALE BROS. & CO., do not accede to the combination

request, that they (the Combination) willplace themselves on the same footing, to wit,

"lose money orcheat the customer." Here our pityand charity would fain throw the

mantle of Mercy over the propagation of such a doctrine ;but, inself-preservation, and

as a duty we owe to the public, we hereby expose the rottenness of such a propaganda.

Just one word more and we have done. Why don't the Combination assail us on the

price of other goods ? They know that we are leading them all along the line. Why

not admit the fact, and complete the suicide ? The public know it anyhow, and from

the vast and increased patronage we are receiving they appreciate it, and seem de-

termined to assist the house that has worked such a radical change in the prices ofDry

Goods. We arc somewhat surprised at the course our esteemed friend, Mr. Coolot, hasMMMMmMMMMJMM**S—TBMMmtMM

thought fit to take ;but we presume, and are willingto think that he has simply been

used as a Figure-head by the intrigues of the Combination; for we cannot possibly

think that a gentleman of Mr.Coolot's experience, and who has waxed fat upon the

people of Sacramento for the past twenty-four years, should wish to stint his patrons

to four or five spools of Cotton for 25 cents, when our house is willingto give them

six. We may conclude this by assuring our friend, Mr. Coolot, that ifhe, or any mem-

ber of the Combination willlead off in price any article of Dry Goods, that we will

most assuredly follow—

providing we arc not already ahead. We arc informed, Mr.Coolot, that yon are rich ;if so, believe us, sir, tbat the waving plume bends more

gracefully, and the jeweled hand sparkles brighter, when beckoning an oppressed

people toProgress and toPower ;and itis the privilege and province of those to whom

Providence has been bountiful, to sit in the "Gates of the City," and dispense some

whatof what God hath blessed them. (Signed),
