SEANcE. The seance of Mr..
Jacobs last evening, at the resi-
dence of d. N. Crane, was very
we'll attended. The harmony
was not as good as the night be-
fore, he said, SO the manifesto
tions were not so numerous. His
hands were filed with -four and
handcuffed, and shortly after
the door was closed a hand ap-
peared through the opening
Bells were rung, as the night
before, and the ring put on his
arm. Altogether, the seance was
very good. No evidence of
trlckery has been found as yet,
though there is little doubt in
our mind that the phenomena
are produced by natural causes.
There is another seance tonight.

breadth of 81 feet, and II feet depth of
hold. The hull will be built at Port
Essington, Skeenamouth, where the
brothers have erected sawr2ill express
IL for the purpose of cutting all the tim
Der for their craft. The engines will be
on the compound principle, with H.
P. 125, nominal, and are now being
built at Glasgow. Scotland. The tug
will be sidewheeler, and it is believed

Snohomish Correspondence.

SNoHoM1sH CITY, October 18th 1873,
The steamer Fanny Lake on her last
trip was unable to obtain load, and l
am sorry to say had to 60 away without
it. She came for hay, but though she
telegiaphed to parties here from whom
she expected to get it. for some reason
they failed to have it ready ;and although
hay is one of the leading articles of in
dustry here, none of our farmers in this
vicinity had any hay of the quality the
Fanny Lake wanted, bailed ready for
market. There is a very large hay>crop
of the very best quality, stored in barns
here, unbailed. Why it is not bailed
and ready, is, I suppose, because the
owners are waiting for something to turn
up. There is large surplus over and
above what the stock and loggers can
consume here at home, and if tanners
don't bail it, and have it ready, now
that steamers are ready and ANXIOUS to
freight It away to other pats of the
Sound,no one will hereafter syEpathise
with them when they complain that
there is no market for produce in Wash
ington Territory. There is market,
and farmers are getting better average
price for their produce here than they
are in Oregon or California. The trdth
is, they want to sell for such price as
to be able to clear as mnch off of few
acres as farmers elsewhere make off of
full claim.
The Zephyr came yesterday at about
her usual. time. She brought family
who are enrout to join the Swedish
colony already planted above here on
the banks of the Snoqualmie. She
brought other passengers, likewise
freight for our merchants and logging
camps.
Hon. E. c. Ferguson ana lady and
Mrs. NJ. A. Sinclair. were among the
outgoing passengers. Mr.. F. goes back
to Olympia to resume his duties as rep
resentatlve and the others to visit, at
tend the fair and have good time. I
wish could get elected to some Office
SO my expenses would be paid just for
little run out on the Sound, even if l
didn't get any further than Seattle.
Can't you pass round the hat for me.
Oct. Goth.
Almost ircessant rain for the last three
days. Loggers are preparing for the
fall raise of the river. A very large an
chor has been brought from Port Gam
BILE and placed in position at the head
of Eby Slough. A sheer boom has been
placed there for the purpose Of turning
all logs down the Slough. tits thought
that this will prevent the usual loss of
logs attendant on sudden raises in The
river, which has always happened and
probably always would so long us the
boom remained above the town.
The Yakima came up last night. She
brought but little freight and few pass
engers. She was after logs at the month
Of the river. She is owned BY and run
in the interest of Puget Mill Co., and of
course cannot make regular trips. For
that reason her freight and passenger
list is liable to be light. She is the lar
gest boat running here, and as the bus
mess If the river increases she will no
doubt run regularly.
The Fanny Lake has just arrived.
She brings freight to E. C. Furgeson
and others. She Is to load at Reynolds
ranch with hay and will not leave until
morning.

A QuEER WATcHMAN.-A fellow COM
ing home from California had a monster
rattlesnake in wicker cage, which he
deposited, with his other plunder, under
his bed at Chagres. The room contain
ed fifty beds-half full Of drunk and
sick fellows. During temporary abb
sence of the owner, the snake got loose,
and the owner coming in and finding
his critter gone, yelled out "Everlastin'
misery! who's seen my watchman?"
Many heads popped up from the fea~
inflicted dirty beds, but nobody had
seen the missing article.
"What was he, Gle feller, you're in
quirin' for?" said bald headed man.
'Why, why, watchman; all my dust
is under my bed here, and left guard
with it, but he's goner'
"Guard-was he nigger or o white
feller?''
''No, he was California rattlesnake,
nine feet long, and fifty two rattles in
his tail. Have any of you fellers seen
the tarnal critter crawlln' round here?"
They hadn't-but ell who are able
to get out of bed and mizzle, did so in

Now, as to the entrance examination

school in the country where anything of

cine one year with his father, physician

tons he said that Germany was in South

also there; Russia was in North America,
about five hundred miles from New York
\ city; England was in Russian North
America; New Orleans was northeast
/ from Indiana; water freezes at thirty

one hundred and two above; the torrid

which he ans wcred correctly were as to
the capital of his State, and the location
Of the Amazon which, it is fair to
remark, he associated with tho Nile and
! the Niger. OF course il is unnecessary
to say that he was rejected; but it is per
tinent to add that he departed in nigh
dudgeon at the action of the faculty, evil

Are Things rs They sb uld He?"


Directors, generally at this time of the
year, are looking for teachers, teachers
for schools Few teachers, comparative
ly, will teach the same schools they taught
last year. Glasses will be broken up to a
great extent; the greater number of the
pupils will be put over the same ground
they went over last year Half of the
winter term will be spent by the teacher
in becoming acquainted with the pupils,
and aGmuch time, by the pupils in be-
coming acquainted with the teacher
Thus much time is lost; parents complain
that their children do not learn much
children become discouraged with books,
"studiOus of change" and after few
years spent in changing, they are sent out
in the world with common school edu
cation. There are many exceptions, but
things are not as they should be" If
the teacher is successful the first term, he
can do much more the second term, and
50 on. His value increases in many ways
and he should be kept. 1t may cost Il few
extra dollars per month to keep him, but
it is money well spent.

The Brands Case.

The petition of Attorney General
Cults to the Supreme Court for a re-
s hearing of the Brandt case appears
in the State Register of the l4th.-
The Register, in brief review OF it,
saws that it attacks the decision most
powerfully in its many invulnerable
features. 1t marshals an overwhelm-
ing array Of the Courts own former
decisions in what would seem to be
conclusive and unanswerable argu-
mcnt against it. 1t also shows that
in one essential respect, at least, the
opinion was Legislative or law-mak-
ing rather than judicial or law-integ-
pretlno. Further, and what is now
newly presented, it claims that the
Supreme Court did not have proper
jurisdiction OF the case when it acted
upon it, in that appeal was taken be
fore Judgment had been rendered in
the lower court.
Public attention will now turn with
absorbing interest inthc action that the
court shall take. The opinion was
that of three of the four Judges, BY
a rule of the court, we believe, a re-
hearing is always granted when even
one Oft the dissenting Judges expresses
Il desire to that end.

Aphorislns of Pestalozsi

The mode of famiializing Il child with
the habit of thinking on what he sees, and
speaking after he has thought, is not to
talk much to, but to enter into CONVERSE
tion with him,
Not to address to him many words, but
to bring him TO express himself on the
subject
Not to exhaust the subject, but to ques-
ton the child about il, and let him find
out and correct the answer.
The attention of child is deadeneu by
long eNpositions, but reused by animated
questions.
Let the question be short, clear, and
Ineligible,
Let them excite the child to observe
what is before him; to recollect what he
has learned; to muster his little stock of
knowledge for materials for an answer
Show him Il certain quality in one
thing, ana let him find out the same in
others
Tell him that the shape Of a ball is call
ed round
If you bring him to point out other
objects to which the same predicament
belongs you have employed him more use
