An Aged Whale.

Whales are supposed to liveto great
age; and, apropos, story is told OF a
sailor whose boat was wrecked, while he
and his messmates were tossed high in
the air, by a mad whales fukes. AS he
came down, after half an hour had
elapsed, the whale awaited him with
open mouth, and instead of sinking as
deep into the sea as he had been high in
the air, he slid smoothly into the
whales interior. AS soon as he recov-
cred his breath he drew out his tobacco
box and helped himself to a. liberal
+" Guild, " which he rolled over and over
in his mouth as he laughed at the adj
venture. Presently he arose from the
soft but moist couch on which he had
fallen, and surveyed the apartment,
which. contained many wonders, you may
be sure. Some writing on one of the walls
attracted his attention, and on ex-
animation it proved to be the words ::
"Jonah, B. c.. 962.'' This amused
him so much that the ''quid"s fell out
Of his. mouth, and the whale at once
began to writhe and show violent dis
like to nicotine. A happy idea occur
red to him, and he cut his plug of to-
D2ccO ilnto Snst1 pieces, WHICH ne dlS-
tributed over the floor. The whale
then heaved more violently than before,
and while Jack was holding his sides at
the joke, he was thrown into the water
and almost on board one OF the ships
boats.
Some of his comrades doubted his
wondrous story, but, for the benefit of
unbelievers, he had brought back with
him pocket knife with a buck horn
handle, on which were carved Jonah s
initials and an American eagle.

County FAIR.-We are informed by
Mr.. Moss, of Snohomlsh. who is now
in this City attending the term of Court,
that the citizens of Snohomish County
contemplate holding County Fair at
Snohomish City on or about the first of
October. Their plan is to secure good
representation at the FAIR of the Vests
ern Washington Industrial Association
by means OF this exhibition. The best
objects on exhibition there will be sent
to the Territorial Fair. Regular Com-
mittees will be formed for the selection
of those articles, but no premiums will
be given and no admission fee charged.
Residents of this county are cordially
invited to send articles for exhibition to
this fair and to attend. This would be
a good time for an excursion TO Snoho-
mish. Many of our citizens would like
to take trip to that town, and if some
of our enterprising young men would
take hold it could be easily put through.
We think the Zephyr could be chartered
at a reasonable rate. e.
The little town of Snohomish has
library with several hundred volumes,
a scientific collection that is constantly
increasing, and lyceum, before which
there is lecture on scientific subjects
every week, by residents of their own
town, and now they contemplate form
ing County Agricultural Association,
with head quarters there. That's en-
