OPERA - CLOSING NIGHT. - Th.
last night of the Titus Opera troupe
was indeed an ovation. Wallace's
brilliant opera of &C Mariana !" wa.
given to a crowded house, composed
of the very best citizens of thu
northern metropolis. We can scarce
ly find space to enumerate the de
serts of the several performers, bur
particularly denote the Harp il
the Air" by Miss Thompson; the
Prison song by Miss Winston and
the trio Turn on, Old Time" by
Miss Winston, Messrs. Bracy and
Farley; the !" Happy Moments by
Mr.. Farley and the Memories o1
the Past by Bracy. He sang Lei
me like a Soldier fall" and was loud
ly applauded, but the duet Holy
Mother " carried off the greatest ap
plause. The troupe leave here fo,
Victoria to-day and we predict fol
them glowing reception. On theil
return they will endeavor to give one
performance at Port Gamble and one
at Port Townsend on the way back
from Victoria. They will also prob.
ably give Girofe- Girofa and the
IS Bohemian Girl here before their
return to Portland.
MIXED. -Joggles was full aga::n
last night and came in here to say
that Capt. Tom Wright had been
unable to go snipe-shooting with us.
On our inquiry as to where the
Capt. had gone, Joggies replied,
"He's gone to Town Portsend ,on the
Pacific Eliza-I mean the North An
derson, with Capt. Morgagee. :"
Somebody who knows Capt. Morgan
or Capt. Messagee, will do we'll to
look up Joggles' law books.
GONE EAsT.-Hon. L. F. Grover,
of Oregon, has gone to Washington
as a witness in the great contested
Presidential election. Secretary
Chadwick having gone also, we don't
know who is Governor of Oregon
unless it is Tom Cam. The Gov
ernor keptver quiet while here and
left on the Eliza Anderson for Vic
toria, intending to take the City of
Panama at that point.
MARINE. - The following vessels
have sailed for San Francisco since
our last issue: Bark Coquimbo,

from this place. Barkentine G. L.
Taylor and bark Caroline Reed got
away from Port Blakely on Tues
day. Brig Deacon sailed from Port
Discovery for San Pedro, and brig
Sea Waif, for Melbourne.
RESIGNED. learn with regret
that John Cameron, steward on the
North Pacific, has rendered his re-
and will 60 to San Fran
cisco to engage in business. By his
his employers lose very
competent officer and a man whose
reputation for observance of duty,
is second to none.
SPECU1AT1oN.---A friend of ours
takes us to task for saying that the
present money stringency is the re-
suit of speculation in city property.
He says that about thirty thousand
dollars are owing to mechanics in
this city from men who have not
"cut their coats according to the
cloth;" or in other words. have built
houses far in excess of their means.
REPAIRING.-We noticed at the
bunkers of the Seattle Coal Compa-
ny, yesterday, that several workmen
were busy repairing the cars used
in transporting coal. The wheels
are of chilled iron made at one OF
our local fOundries.
OFF FOR VICToRIA.-The English
Opera troupe will be among the
passengers for Victoria by the North
Pacific to-day; also Capt. Billy Watt
and the editor Of this paper. During
our absence J. W. Cochran, ESQ
has kindly consented to fill our chair.
To BE REMovED.-We learn that
the old building recently occupied
by Samuel Davis, is to be removed
and the butt end of Washington
street filled in with ballast.
The WAR HAwK.--This ship was
towed to sea last night by the S. L.
Mastick. Mr.. Wood was here and
regulated matters to suit himself.
There was no talk of unloading the
ship after he arrived in Seattle.
A BAD BITE,-A man from near
Olympia passed through here yes.
terday for Victoria. He was severe.
