'Female of ye olde Boston, staging a' "coffee party" in 1777, which rivalled in a small way the famous Tea Party of 1773, person ally chastised a profiteer hoarder of foodstuffs and confiscated some of his stock, according to a letter from Abi gail Adams to her distinguished hus band, later second president of the United States. ' Writing at Boston, under date of July 31, 1777, Abagail wrote to John. tnen attending the continental con gress at Philadelphia: There Is a great scarcitv of sugar and 'coffee, articles which the female! part of the state is very loath to give ug, especially whilst they consider the great scarcity .occasioned bv the. mercnants naving secreted a large quantity. It is rumored that an emi nent stingy merchant, who is a bach elor, had a hosrshead of coffee in his store, which he refused to sell under six, shillings per pound. A number of females, some v a hundred, some say more, assembled with a cart and trunk, marched down to the warehouse and demanded the keys. Upon his findine no auarter. h delivered the keys, and they . then opened the warehouse, hoisted out the coffee themselves, put Jt Into a trunk and drove off. A large concourse of men stood amazed, silent spectators ot the whole transaction " Rebekah Will Entertain , The Rebekah degree will entertain Thursday evening at 8:3a o'clock, com plimentary to their friends, who. have assisted in the work this past year, either financially or by the use of their talents In entertainments.

"At the instance pf a few farslghted Daughters of the Confdm.ov a a rc-m be fully disclosed by press notices from time to time, this option has been ob tained for the purpose, of buying this iana ior a great southern Memorial park, commemorating the valor of Con federate troops during those battles and as a tribute of the south to the history of the great war of which those battles? were such an epochal part. Manassas battlefield belongs to the south, and for this reason it Is hoped that each of the above named organ izations and each snnthem ctnta-wiii send a representative to an ograniza- hvm moeung, ai wnicn pians will be arranged under which tfti -arm v.- eventually held, and pursuant to which monuments will be erected, and the splendid battle museum, which comes also within the land at this price, will be conducted.
