years. 1t comes so quickly up that
some of the western men, who never
lived by salt water, are astonished that
the river 1.-THE Sound) should rise and
fall SO quick.
ANOTHER TEAcHER.-Another teacher
Miss Holt. a graduate of frstclass
seminary in New England, has been
Secured for the young ladies seminary
in this place. The Institution is in
very prosperous condition.-T Transcript.
A PLEASANT AFFAIR.-The social
gathering in Columbia Hall. on Tues
day evening, in compliment to the
young ladies who gave the Leap Year
Ball, was the gayest affair of the season.
The Hall was tastefully decorated with
evergreens, flags. mirrors, the whole
was brilliantly illuminated. A feature
of the occasion, was the cages Of canar-
les suspended from the chandeliers,
whose sweet notes blended with the
music with charming effect. The sup
per was spread in the ante-room, under
the supervision of Mrs Rhinehart, of
the Pacific Hotel, and was excellent in
quality, variety and arrangement.
Great credit is due to Gen Stevens, and
others having it in charge, for the skill
and good taste displayed in the manage
ment of the whole affair.--Standard.
We are informed that an action has
been commenced on behalf of the Ter
ritory in the Pierce county court. by c.
NJ. Bradshaw, Esq, Prosecuting Attor-
ney for the Sd district, against Isaac
Carson, for the recovery of about
twelve hundred dollars, money improp-
erly drawn from the Territorial Treas
ury. The Judge of that district not
desiring to try the case it was transferred
TO Thurston county for trial, at our
coming term of court.-Echo.
HAY AND OATs.-These articles are
being brought from points down the
Sound and offered for sale in our market,
commanding thirty dollars per ton and
oats one dollar per bushel. This does
not speak much for the enterprise of
the farmers in our vicinity. One of
the great wants of the Territory is an
immigration of enterprising, Industrious
farmers, who are willing to work and
build up happy homes for themselves
and children. Little has been done to
invite this character of immigration to
the Territory, and without such no
great degree Of prosperity can be ex-
pected. The soil must be made to pro-
duce in order to develope the greatest
source of wealth known to any coun-
try. We have only few practical
farmers, but spectators without num-
Der, xho neither SOW nor reap, but like
vultures, are ever ready to prey on the
unsuspecting public.-Iranscript.
A DOUBTFUL SroRY.-The Seattle
Dispatch has story to the effect that
the noted Government safe, about which
and its contents there was such SEN
sation in Olympia some month ago, was
taken to San Francisco, opened and
found to contain not dollar of the $780,
600 supposed to be within. It makes
rather interesting story, but we doubt
the most important feature Of it, viz,
that the safe contained the amount
stated, or any money at all; for we are
inclined to the opinion that Mr.. Leo
pold, the Treasury Agent. carried off the
fund on hand. The whole narrative
has an air of romance that makes it
entertaining to the reader.-Tribenae.
The $50, 900 deficit WIS made up by
the gentlemenwhose notes were found
in the safe instead of the money and the
money placed in the safe by Mr.. Leo
pold Then the combination was
changed by DR.. Lamper, and the Com
bination lost. The safe could not be
unlocked; no one knew what was in it.
Why was the safe sent to San Francisco
through Wells Fargo, and why was it
opened at the Treasurer's Office in that
City? What amount of money was in
the safe thena What authority has the
Tribune for saying 'Mr. Leopold the
Treasury Agent carried off the fund on
hand?"
From the Tribune.
BAD PoLIcY.-Our real estate owners
on Main street are pursuing suicidal
policy and driving business from the
city. They will neither sell nor lease
nor put up buildings for rent on vacant
lots owned by them. A Agentleman from
aneighboring town, has been in Olympia
for several days trying to lease lot on
which to build store. He goes home
tonight without being able to procure
a suitable location. There are plenty
unoccupied lots on the business streets,
and it would accrue to the benefit and
profit of the owners if they would lease
them to parties wishing to build or else
to build on them for themselves.
MARINE D1sAsrER.-Ship Lookout, on
Sunday last, while in tow of the steamer
Favorite, drifted on Race Rocks. Be
