New ESrrRpR1sEr.- sr Among other


New ENTERPRIsE.- Among other
new enterprises now in course OF or
ganization in Seattle, is the enlarge
ment: of the furniture business of
Messrs. Hall & Paulson. They are
at present engaged in building a
new factory on the wharf, at the
foot of Commercial street, which
will be two stories high and 80 feet
by 60 feet in dimensions. In Aug
ust "a, this firm started business on
a small capital, and to-day they are
unable to supply the demand OF
their trade, hence the new building.
This enlargement will give employ
ment to twenty additional cabinet
makers and upholsterers; and will
raise the business of the firm, from
a trade of $4,000 per month, to a
much larger aggregate. The timber
of our low lands have proven them
selves to be much more valuable
furniture timber than any other
wood on the continent. Day by day
"the longer what we live the more
what we find out"
G. F. ROBINSON. This Monsignor,
who figured about year ago exten-
sively among the softer sex of Seat
tie, was lately married at Nanaimo,
B. c., and few days ago left with
his bride on wedding tour for San
Francisco. Since then he has not
been heard from. He left his cred
itors, as usual, in the lurch, and
great is the gnashing of teeth in
Nanaimo. While here he claimed
to have come from Rochester, New
York, thinking doubtlessly that,
coming from those classic shades, he
would further his base designs.
However, from the descriptions that
are now traditional hereabouts, he
knew no more of the city of Roches-
ter and its F. F.'s r. than presiden-
tial candidates know about the re-
suits of the 7th of November. We
are sorry for this young mans wick
edness, but we are glad that univer-
sal cussedness cannot hereafter be
located at any one place.
GONG BELow.-On this trip of
the Dakota our young townsman,
Mr.. NJ. F. Gourley, who, for the
past eighteen months has been
studying medicine under the super
vision of DR.. Weed, will depart for
San Francisco to enter the medical
college of that place. Mr.. Gourley
has worked his own way into the
profession, and touch of human
nature makes us wondrous kind.
After five years of arduous work in
Washington Territory Mr.. Gour]ey
goes well prepared to hold his own
in the colleges of California. His
old friend and teacher feels justified
in giving him the best of recon-
mendations, and we feel assured OF
his success.
FROM THE NoRTH.-Steamer Gus
sic Telfair arrived at Port Townsend
on Thursday night, from Nanaimo,
and bound for Portland. - Among
her passengers were company OF
soldiers from Fort Wrangel under
command of Capt. Josselyn and
Lieut.. Moore. It is said that the
latter gentleman has very pressing
engagement there with young lady
whom everybody ad-mi,es. Mo (o) re
anon.
New BU1LD1NG.-Mr. A. G. Muir
ray, our well known contractor, will
shortly be compelled to remove
from his residence on Commercial
street, thata new building may be
erected on the ground of his pres
ent residence. Capt. Parker, oi
Freeport, the owner of the lot, pro
poses to commence building in 6
few weeks. Thus another brick will
be added to the number of business
houses on that street.
THE NELLIE. - This steamer ar
rived in port yesterday afternoon
and reports that the Snohomish has
risen five feet in the past two days.
They also report that many booms
of logs have got adrift, and that al
most every logger has lost some,
thing by the flood.
BOUND UP.--Steamer North Paci-
fic passed off Point No-Point yester-
day, the bark Aureola. Ship Grace
Darling is loading at Seabeck and
bark Forest Queen at Port Ludlow.
Bark Anna Fish was towed from off
Dungeness to Nanaimo by the tug
