on several occasions helped Us while
away these dreadfully long nights of
this northern latitude by his admira-
ble playing Oh the violin, of which
he is master. 1t really seems to me
that shonld he fail to convince jury
by his oratory, he might, by leave of
the court. prove irresistible with his
fchNe. "Truly, lie draws a fine
bow"
DR.. d. S. Maynard, mailing from
Ohio, like his brother Lansdalc, with
the melancholy experience that there
is no demand for "pills," has taken
to storc-kceping, in little shanty on
Main Street, about hundred yards
south of the Custom House. lie Of

limited supply of purchasers.
Capt. Plummer, of the brig John

wares on the beach to Indians or

"peculiarities" which the word is

western men, a "sort OfJew with his

makes money, underselling the
Olympia store keepers, and hence
they justly inquire" What's the use
Of Custom.IIOuse here, without

Such was the town of Olympia
when the Custom House was located
here by virtue of the act of Congress
approved Feb. II, 1851, creating the
Collection District of Puget Sound
and establishing Olympia as Port
of Entry.
In May of this year, President
Fillmore had commissioned Colone!
Simpson p. Moses, of Ohio, Collec.
tor Of Customs, and Gen. w. w.
Miller, of Illinois, Surveyor of the
Port of Nisqnally. Col. Moses reached
his district early in November, was
sworn in on the 10th, by Henry c..
Wilson, Esq, then the Justice Of the
Peace of Lewis county, and reached
Olympia on the 18th. Gen. Miller,
who crossed the plains this year, had
arrived at his post about q month
preceding the Collector.
November 10th, marks the first
day upon which there was business
for the Custom House. From the
journal before quoted, we learn, tha at
upon this day prepared the papers
for brig George Emery and schooner
Eract, the latter being cleared for q
voyage to the new gold diggings on
Queen Charlotte's Island"
The brig George Emery is 80 in
timately connected with the early
settlement Of Puget Sound, she hav.

early settlers, that we may lie justi-
fed in bringing to notice the voyage
