ALMOST 3 A Tor1L WREcK.-Ths
schooner LoletA which was lately built At
Seattle, arrived at this port last Monday
night, just eight days from San Francisco,
came near being total wreck. She ar
rived here about half past eight P. NJ, but
tne mate, Mr.. William Howard, told Capt.
Bailey that he knew the harbor so well
that he could come close to the wharf and
anchor so as TO be able to haul in readily
In the morning to discharge her freight.
True the night was very dark and some
what stormy bat be missed his mark and
passed BY the town some distance before
ne let go his anchor, and then in three
fathom's Of water, having but twelve
fathom's of chain out A fresh s. E.
wind coming al o'clock A. NJ. the schoon.
er began to drag her anchors and very
soon drilled towards the shore in the only
dangerous spot we have in our harbor. On
touching bottom her false keel was soon
knocked of, aud with it lost her rudder
and fore foot. At an early hour the Capt.
caR1r ashore. for assistance, but as ,thers
wereho steamers in Port, and the morn>
ing being stormy it was difficult for him
to find men who could render the REQUIRED
assistance, so as to save the vessel from
receiving considerable damage before she
could be got of.
To Capt. Charles Willoughby too mnch
credit cannot be given for the active part
which he took in rendering great service
through his skill as a seaman, it being the
means of-getting the schooner dragged out
from amongst the rocks into deep water.
We dislike finding fault with officers of
vessels in regard to management, etc., but
in this instance it seems to Us an unusual
amount Of carelessness was shown, l. e., in
coming to anchor in but three fathoms Of
water, and SO near the beach that in the
event of blow, no chain could be paid
out to relieve the strain on the anchors,
which were, per force, dragged until the
vessel stranded. An instance of careless
ness like this, under similar circumstances
would have been followed by a like result
anywhere. On his finding that he was SO
close to shore and having ample wind we
think that by making sail he might in
few moments have reached deep water,
and have saved the schooner from all in
jury. A large amount Of the schooner's
copper was knocked of, but the passengers
and freight all escaped from any injury
whatever. We take great pleasure
in pronouncing the schooner Loleta a strong
and worthy sea vessel, which is credit
to her builder and owners. She brought
mdse. for our merchants as follows: E &
S. 81 pkgs. ]. ]. 10, H. & B. 81, R. &
Co. rs, K. & S. "a. For Seattle 1866
pkgs.
1t was discovered when the Loleta's
anchors we've recovered that both Aukes
had broken off from one, and one from, the
other, they being composed of pOt-metal.
No wonder the vessel dragged

The Thanksgiving Ban

" EDITOR ARGUs--MY DEAR Sir :-fS
you'll but hold your tongue and permit
me, I'll tell you about a little diversion l
had last Thursday night, at the ball given
in the Masonic Hall, in this city. An it
was a grand affair, entirely. 1t was gotten
up by number of our best citizens, if you
want to know one Of the chief movers in
it was A. F. Learned, Esq, and if he'll
only be as successful in picking out wife
as he is in getting up social parties, the
devil happier man will there be between
here and heaven than him. He's a brick
to add more would be superAuous.
At the ball-I saw wonders there.
Every mans wife in this town was there
but mine, and the reason why she did not
attend was. because couldn't find her
knowingly speaking, 1 never saw her my
self. The ladies looked gay, and the men
bully. All went in for diversion, and they
had lots of it. Outside the night was
stormy, but inside it's little we cared for
the national debt. We had good music,
which was furnished by Mr.. Edward L.
Jones and his string band. The dancing
was kept up until early next morning.
The ladies in attendance were elegantly
dressed, and displayed more real taste
than you will generally find in small towns
on this coast. Sociability and geniality
were the order Of the night, and everyone
seemed to feel happy-no doubt because
l did. The subject of woman suffrage
MAS never mentioned, nor did l see man
with black eye in the halls True, Su-
san B. Anthony was not present, but in
her place we had peace and harmony.
Hon. J. ]. Hunt and Rev. D. S;;res
were in their glory; Al. Petsygrove and
Alaska Murphy received vote ofthanks
Nor their bsshfulness, while Chas. Fech-
heimar and H. L. Tibbals could not be
induced to leave the ladies alone. D. c.
H. Rothschild was ma$sE Of eeremonies,7
while Mr. ]. F. Sheehan attended to the
cash. Hon. p. D. Moore acted as chap
lain, and Hon. NJ. Drew raised - gen.
orally. Lieut.. Geo. Hansell acted as
ladies man, and Messrs Offner and w,
w. Benjamin acted as floor managers.
But-this seems to bs stringing out, and
unless stop, where viii end, not, l fear,
until the next ball; so to the managers of
this, the finest ball ever given in Port
Townsend, I wish every success j.. the
future. BARNEY PKAGAY.

Other Fires.

AN AWFUL PICTURE OF DEsoLATIoN.
DETROIT, Oct. l5.-News received yesterday
confirms the previous reports OF the desolation
inflicted by the fires in various parts of the state
from Port Huron to Point aux Basques. The
lake shore is almost deserted, the inhabitants
were burned out and Obliged TO flee for their
lives, saving nothing. The particulars of the
Manistee Holland city fires also give more
disastrous aspect than the first report. All the
energies of the people of this city are now di-
rected to aiding the sufferers OF our own state.
Contributions of money, provisions, and cloth
ing are being made. The central relief commit
tee sent special agent to Manstee with $4,000
in supplies and $1,000 in cash, also an agent to
Port Huron with clothes, provisions, &c. Col
ections will be taken in all the churches to-
morrow in aid of the Michigan sufferers. In
most OF the churches throughout the state relief
committees are being formed. The government
work to-day is being pushed with energy.
AT HOLLAND, cH,-ANoTHER CITY DE-
sTRoYED.
New YORK, Oct ia letter from Professor
Beck, of Hope college, Holland, Mich, SAYS
Two thirds of the city was DESTROYED b, the
fire. Beginning with the Third church. it made
clean sweep of one mile wide and two miles
long. Every store was burned, all the churches,
but the Old First and the Seceders, a large grist
mill, factories, &c. Hundreds OF families aie
destitute, many only escaping with the clothes
on their backs.

lsTEE.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Oct. 15.-General
Cutcheon, Of Manistee, with his wife and chill
dren, has just arrived having lost everything ex
cept the clothing worn by himself and family.
He says that a great multitude at Manistee are

bedding, clothing or food. There are 1000 peo-
pie in need of Immediate help. Manistee is
away from any farming community, from farm
