land, called on us last night and in

nesday evenings. The opera for
Tuesday uight will be "Maritana,

on the following night, Miss Thomp-
son will sustain the part of the
Duchesse and Mr.. Farley that of
General Boum. Miss Winston
plays Prince Paul and Mr.. Bracy
will be the Fritz. 1t is glorious
little Opera with no end of fun in it.
As this is class of entertainment
hitherto unknown here, we predict
fashionable and crowded houses on
each night, if the weather is propi-
tious.
STEAMBOAT NEws.-The Eliza An
derson did not lie here but few
hours on Monday night but went
through to Olympia for load of
cattle. She will leave here at 4
o'clock this morning for Victoria.
Steamtug Blakely came over yester-
day and lay at Bullene's shop nearly
all day. The cold snap of the past
few days, has caused a visible rece-
ding of the water in White river,
but the Otter still keeps up her trips
to Renton with unabated regularity.
Steamtug Favorite came up from
Port Townsend yesterday morning.
DEAO.-The many friends of Mrs.
Hill Harmon, of Steilacoom, will be
panied to hear of that lady's sudden
death day before yesterday. She
had just returned from trip to the
Eastern States with her husband
and was glad to get back among her
children. Mrs. Harmon had lived
about the Sound-at Steilacoom,
Olympia and WILDLY Island-for
nearly twenty-four years, and earn
ed the esteem of all who knew her.
The funeral takes place to-day.
That JAVA geologist who has
examined that fossil Jaw now on ex-
hibition at the Dolly Warden Saloon,
pronounces it to be that of the mas
todon or American elephant. As it
is nearly four miles from where
these remains were found, to the
nearest point on the main land, our
friend feels like exploring the prem
ises where the ponderous beast gave
up the ghost. We anxiously await
the result of his explorations.
YEsLER BLoCK.-We were shown
Palmer's drawings of the tacades Of
Yesler's new artificial stone building
which is to occupy the site of his
present dwelling. It will be about
as pretty building, if finished by
these plans, as any north Of San
Francisco. Col. Thorp and Mr..
Leathers are about to return here
from Victoria and will make this
place their headquarters for some
months to come.
The Getty OF PANAMA. This
steamer, which left San Francisco
last Saturday at noon, reached Es-
quimalt yesterday morning at 9
o'clock having made the trip inside

ger list was not telegraphed up, but
she she will probably be here as soon
as this paper reaches its readers.
ARRAHNAPoGUE.--This splendid
Irish drama, the fnesteve put upon
the stage, is to be played here to-
