LAGER As we had just worked
off our weekly forms, yesterday, in
came a portly gentleman who looked
like old King Gambrinus. He had
with him keg of lager, which he
presented with the compliments of
Messrs. Picht & Melhorn,, of the
North Pacific Brewery. We ac-
cepted it and drank to that patriotic
toast, "One flag, one country, and

HARR1soN's RAINIER. I've spoke
of painting of Snoqualmie Falls
some time since, painted by Harri-
son, of the Coast Survey. The same
gentleman has made small paint
ing of Mount Rainier, taken from the
north end of Vashon Island, in
which the grand old butte is glow
ing in the blush of an autumn sun
set.
WITHDRAWN. - The sale of the
steamboat Phantom to Waterman Il
Katz of Port Towsend, virtually
takes her away from here. She will,
in the opinion of our Argus-eyed
friend Philbrick, be kept running
between WILDLY Island, Ports Gam
BILE, Ludlow and Towsend, making
the latter place her home station.
WADDELL & MILES. - This firm
are full of business, from morning
till night. What with selling stoves
and fixtures, fitting in gss and water,
making iron and other pipe for
drainage purposes, they are never
idle. Young couples. about to go
to housekeeping, will do we'll to
give them a call.
New WHARF.-It is said the Pa
cifie Mail Company will build a
wharf on James Bay, Victoria, on
what is known as Deadman's Point,
thus avoiding the dangers of Beaver
Rock.
GOING BELow,-Among the pas
sengers going to San Francisco on
this trip of the Dakota, we may
mention Capt. W. S. Morgan, of the
Eliza Anderson, and Capt. Ellicott,
of the Coast Survey.

The DAKoTA.-The "foating is
land" as a friend of ours calls her,
will get off for Victoria and San
Francisco at 6 o'clock this morning.
Her freight consists of 1851 sacks
oats, 255 bales hops, 62 barrels oil,
2 kegs beer, IL, 900 #. lumber. 103
hides, 13 bales skins, case cigars,
6 packages merchandise. Up to the
time of sailing. the following pas
sengers had been booked: Geo. D.
Shannon, Jas. Stewart, VIM. Young,
Miss NJ. Motion, J. II. Gilbert and
wife, S. D. Nourse, E. A. Hender-
son and IL steerage.
NORTH PACIFIC. = This steamer
arrived here last night from the
Queens dominions with few pas
sengers and left for Tacoma almost
Immediately. She has just had a
new set of grate-bars cast at one of
our city foundries. Her furnaces
will be overhauled at Tacoma to-
day by her new engineer; W. H.
Keene, and the grate-bars placed in
position in time to enable her to
make her regular down trip tonight.
She made good run across yester-
day and was never in better shape
than at present.
WATER FALLING, - The recent
frosty snap has carried down the wa
ter in the Duwamish and it's tribu-
taries so that they are now confined
within their banks. The freshet
was very severe upon some of the
farmers, however, and it will take
all summer for them to recuperate.
Fences have been swept away, and it
requires immediate outlay to re-
place them. The loss of live stock
is not SO great as was at hrst feared
it would be.
ELIZA ANDERsoN.-"Old reliable
goes out at this morning, carrying
fair lot of passengers. Capt. Mes
segee takes entire charge during
Capt. Morgan's absence. We hope
to see the latter gentleman back in
the Spring.

they were remanded to Jail till this

ing Of the members of the Ivy So
cial Club is called for on Thursday

AcCIDENT.-Two men named Me-,
son, living on WILDLY Island, near
Skagit Head, were hurt by a falling
tree last Saturday. One of them
had his jawbone broken.

NEW MILL SToRE.-The agency OF
the Port Ludlow mills has been
moved into their new building Op
posite the Phoenix House. 1t is the
handsomest mill store we have ever
seen and is arranged with degree
of commodiousness that reflects Gre
dit upon the resident manager, Ar
thur Phinney, Esq, who designed
it. The building faces the street,
two stories high. and 80 feet by 80
in depth, the upper portion being
used as a hall for public meetings
and dances. Built like an L from
the main store is counting room,
all enclosed with glass, in which also
will be the telegraph Office. Open
ing out of this again, is private Of
fee for Mr.. Phinney vino has all his
business concentrated. The walls
and shelving are all done in China
gloss, while the desks and counters
are of polished fir. evincing excel
lent workmanship in every depart
ment. They will commence moving
the stock into the new premises to-
morrow but after all the old Office
with its huge fireplace full Of roar
ing slabs, was place where there
were lots of comfort and no "French
airs" The clerical force consists of
Messrs. Louis Poole, Geo. w. Har-
ris and E. L. Rose, the latter of
whom is book-keeper. Under su-
pervision of these gentlemen every
thing goes aloug like clock-work.
They know how to entertain visitors,
beyond a doubt.
SAILORS WANTED.-We learn from
Commissioner Ballou, that sailors
were never so scarce in Seattle, as
at present. He shipped four men
for Port Gamble on Thursday and
two for for Tacoma, and ever since
that time he has been trying to get
six men for Seabeck. It would be
supposed that the partial suspension
of summer work in the logging
camps, would have thrown surplus
men into the field for chances of
this sort, bit such is not the case.
Sailors are very scarce and one
"Jack" at Mr.. Ballou's office is worth
as much to the finder as "pair of
jacks" would be in a game of poker.
He has been on the lookout for them
in every direction but they won't
come into court, except heavier
wages are paid them, than the rul-
ing rates of the past two months
MARINE.--Schooner Courser. hav-
ing completed her load of Seattle
coal, is taking a deck-load of lumber
at Freeport. Brig North Star is
loading Renton coal. The Seattle
Coal Co. have the ship War Hawk,
barks Osmyn and Lizzie Williams,
and brig Levi Stevens on Rand and
are bringing in 300 tons day to get
them off. Bark Marmion has sailed
for San Francisco with Renton coal.
and the Annie is fully due.
DEAD.-A telegram from San
Francisco yesterday, reports the
death of a daughter of P. D. Moore,
formerly of Olympia. Her brother
is mail agent on the North Pacific.
, 1876-12-16


STEAMBOAT News Steamers va
kima and Fanny Lake had a burst o1
heels on their departure from here,
the little boat being ahead as they
passed around Sandy Point. The
water was very smooth, however.
We may look for the Messenger al
most any day, as she is ready for
business. Capt. Hammond and Mr..
Bullene allow her to carry 140
pounds of steam, her boilers having
stood q cold water test of 213pounds.
The Anderson had not arrived from
Victoria when we went to press. The
North Pacific went out with full
freight for Victoria yesterday among
which were fifty head of hogs pur-
chased in Lewis county by William
Jackson for the Victoria market. It
is said that the butchers of Victoria,
Seattle and Port Townsend, have
purchased not less than thirty thou
sand dollars worth of live pork in
the counties of Lewis, Chehalis and
Cowlitz since last harvest. Whatcom
county will export as much more in
two years hence. The day is not far
off when bacon cured at this place
will be for sale in every family gro.
Gerry in San Francisco.
THE NEW HoTEL.-It was hoped
that Thomas Smith, formerly of the
Chemeketa House at Salem, would
have been able to have started a
hotel in this place; but he has leased
the Occidental at Portland. We now
learn that Mr.. Young who left here
on the Dakota for San Francisco,
last Saturday, will return here on
the same vessel with an invoice of
new furniture, carpets and uphol-
stery, for the purpose of opening the
new United States Hotel. With the
single exception of the Vance House
at Eureka, California, the new house
is the handsomest IN any seaport
town north of San Francisco.
CRAYoNTYPEs.- I'VE were yester-
day shown a crayon picture of a
child, enlarged from q common carte
de uisite, by Mrs. J. w. Cochrane of
this city. Her husband. who ar
rived here some time ago and has
since been rusticat;ng at Swinomish,
is about to commence the practice
of law in the courts of this Territory.
He is corresponding with the Chica-
go Tribune and putting in a good
word for this country whenever he
can.
M1sHAP.-William H. Bryant, a
ship carpenter, got severe fall on
Saturday night while on his way
home to Belltown, by falling into a
deep cut near A. A. Denny's resi-
dence. He broke one of the bones
in his feet and sprained his ankle,
but is doing we'll under care of DR..
Weed.
Nor so BAD. Disasters are gen.
orally overrated. The little schooner
Carrie Hayden, which got such
rough usage on recent trip to Vic
toria with a load of hogs from La
Conner, is not so badly injured that
three hundred dollars will not fix
her as good as new.
FIRE ALARM. - The alarm bell
struck off quick tap about ten
o'clock last night, the scene of con-
fagration being in an clubhouse in
the rear of the big Chinese house
on Second street. It was extin-
guished before the arrival of the
engine and her leisurely crew of
amateur fremen.
COVERED IN.--The boats of the
Coast Survey, including the launch,
are all snugly housed on Crawford
Il Harrington's wharf. The engine
has been taken out of the launch,
coated with white lead and laid up
in lavender till "the spring time
comes, Gentle Annie" and the tri-

Seymour Accepts.

We learn through dispatches for
warded by the american Press Asso-
citation" that the Chairman of the New
York Executive Committee has an
nounced that "Governor Seymour ac-
cepts. All reports to the contrary are
false. This is official"
This announcement, received by the
STAR just before going to press, seems
TO settle the much-muddled question
of Governor Seymour's acceptance Of
the nomination. Yesterday, and even
last night, all the dispatches indicated
the contrary.
There can be no doubt but that Gov
ernor Seymour sincerely desired to be
left of the ticket; but the pressure OF
circumstances and the persuasion of his
political friends have probably overcome
his reluctance to make the contest now
before him, and he accordingly yields to
these influences and considerations
He will doubtless command the full
strength Of his party in New York.
