From the Daily Of Thursday.

Port Townsend on Monday and clear
ed for Nanaimo on the following
day for load of coal. Schooner W.
L. Beebe has sailed for Santa Bar
bara from Port Blakely, with lum-
ber. Bark Arkwright, from Nanalmo,
had the large cargo of 1860 tons of
coal for the Gas Works and was tow
ed down the Straits by the Goliah.
The following vessels are on the
way to this port-barks Annie and
Osmyn; for Seabeck, barks General
Cobb and Dublin; for Port Blakely,
barks Caroline Reed and Oak Hill;
brig Deacon, Port Discovery and
bark David Hoadley for Port Gamble.
MUT1NY.--On the second day out
of the bark J. B. Bell, from San
Francisco to this port, one OF the
men became sulky and refused to
work. Most captains would have
famed his brow with a Delaying pin,
but Captain Fox knew trick worth
two of it. He waited till he got here
and then prepared to get the fellow
arrested for mutiny. On learning
that he would be compelled to give
bonds for his appearance at court,
Capt. Fox contented himself by dis
charging the man and letting the
matter drop. Few men would have
acted so mildly with the law on their
side.
MUSEUM. - Harry Sutton, who
keeps the "Gold Room on the wharf
at Port Townsend, has a deer, a
bear, fox and an Alaska marmot.
The latter goes prowling around like
a cat and can scratch like revolv-
ing rake. At certain seasons, the
female utters a peculiar noise which
can be initiated by rubbing a cork
on the bottom of tumbler. They
played it on the marmot the other
day, till he got exasperated at the
"sell'' and took one of the party by
the paddle-box. Mr.. Marmot is not
likely to be troubled with any more
such conducts as those.
The I< HoP.-In spite of a
pouring rain, the invitation party
of the Ivy Club, at Yesler's Hall,
last night, was big turnout. Car
riages called for the young ladies at
their residences and took them home
again. The room was neatly decor
ated under the supervision of W. P.
Boyd, R. B. Curry, and NJ. G. Sake,
with festoons Of evergreens, and
the flags of ships Commodore. Har-
vest Home, and Aureola. Music was
furnished by Whites orchestra and
gave general satisfaction to all.
MASKED BAL1.-There will be q
masked ball at Ste;lacoom to-mor-
row night, and several people from
this city are to be present. The
rumors that D. K. Baxter will ap-
pear as Romeo and Beriah Brown,
ST., as Falstaff, are entirely without
foundation. It is shameful that
quiet and upobtrusive citizens
should be made the subject Of such
unwarrantab.e and mendacious re-
ports.
PERSONALS Capt. Ellicott of the
Coast Survey, will go East in few
days to spend the winter in Balti-
more. Ben. Stretch, the plump
and rosy Sheriff of Snohomish coun-
ty, has been tarrying in town for a
couple of days. Max Kant, of the
White House got back on the Teaser
on Tuesday night, having had a
good time among the Island people,
MINNIE MAY.-This little steamer
will be transferred to the waters
of Lake Washington in a few days
by Mr.. JensOn, who returned from
Port Townsend a few days ago, with
his and her license. She will do a
sort of jobbing business to the camps
about the lake and her owner evil
dently knows what he can do with
her..
MOVED AwAY-A big crowd gath
cred about the Colman Block yester-
day afternoon as the County Trea-
surer's safe was lowered away to the
sidewalk and transported to the new
Jail building. Judge Lewis is now
the only Federal or county officer
who is not at the new jail-but then
doctors never take their own medi-
cine.
SHERIFF. - West Whitener must
be the most popular man in San
Juan county. He ran for Sheriff on
the Democratic ticket and got 122
votes, while the two other candi-
dates conld only raise 81 between
