The steamer Nellie made her usual
trip on Monday, and also on Thursday.
She is always promptly on time.
Mr. w. Stevens family arrived last
Sunday, per steamer Zephyr, and Will re-
side permanently here in town.
Mcssrs. Eddy & Howard are about to
establish new logging camp on Phi
Chuck below Fred Foss' camp.
Mr.. A. Low, yesterday delivered load
OF hay, from his ranch above town, on
Packard & Jackson's wharf, for MIR. Foss'
logging camp on Pill Chuck.
The wharf at Lowell, on which the
pile driver is now at work, will be about
100 #. long, and will add much to the
convenience OF the place.
The Nellie, direct from Port Gamble,
arrived here this morning. She had
heavy freight both for Lowell and this
place. She goes to Seattle this after
noon.
A young man by the name of Donelly,
at work in Roberts logging camp, was
taken to the hospital, at Seattle, on the
Nellie, Tuesday, suffering from an attack
of paralysis.
The pile driver is now at work at Il.
D. IIilton's place, two miles above town,
constructing wharf for the ranch. AS
soon as that job is accomplished it will
be taken to Lowell to drive piles for that
place.
Arrangements have been made for an
entertainment to be given in the interest
of our public school, some time during
court week, next month. Will not all
the friends of education get ready to
patronze and assist in every way posi-
ole.
On the night OF the 18th, W. II. White
ESQ, candidate for Pros. Atty. of this
Judicial District, spoke at Lowell to II
large and respectful audience. He pur-
sued the same line OF conduct and argu-
ment there as ut this place and made a
fair impression.
The otter brought the mail on We'd
ncsday. We are informed that she will
make one more trip next week, and then
the Fanny Lake will take her place.
Tile latter by that time will have COM
pletcd her repairs and will then resume

NEWSPAPER CmANGE.-Wc notice that
the Seattle Dispatch has changed owners.
Mr.. Tho's. Merry has bought the entire
outfit. Mr. Merry is stranger to MS,
Ills first daily is before us. 1t speaks
well for the new proprietor. 1t will, we
understand, be democratic paper. We
cannot do less than wish him success.
The Zelhyr arrived last Sunday with
freight for II. d. Morgan and w. Stevens.
Since the Nellie came on the route the
Aphyr has piled between Olympia and
Seattle. She was the first boat to run
regularly on this route Capt. Rogers is
now her master, and DIR. Treadwell still
acting as purser. She is nice little
boat, and we are sorry business is not
sufficient for both her and the Nellie.
A NEAT TnING.-Thc first number of
the Puget Sound Daily Express has come
to hand. 1t is the smallest of all our ex-
changes, but in all respects it fulfils the
old adage, that precious substances are
contained in small packages 1t is
sprightly, spicy and cleanly executed
and if the people of Steilacoom do not:
!, come out and patronizc it literally, they
opghtto be confined in the asylum.
Mr.. w. IL Waite, of Seattle, addressed
the citizens Of this town at the Riverside
Hotel, on the evening of the 12th, and by
MS gentlemanly bearing won both friends
