/ Nor o. K.--The Annie Stewart,
just before her arrival here Tuesday
evening, stopped at Freeport to wa
ter, and staid there for the space of
four hours. The steamer North
Pacific, which arrived here full OF
passengers for up Sound regions, at
s! p. NJ, waited as long as could be,
to deliver her passengers to the
Stewart. But twas to wait in vain.
Consequently the passengers of the
North Pacific had to bob their heads
until it suited the pleasure of the
officers of the Annie Stewart to haul
up at our dock. Fortunately this
action on the part of the Annie
Stewart is exceptionable and will
happen no more.
SH1PpING.-Thes ship Tidal Wave
sailed yesterday from Port Madison
for San Francisco, loaded with lum-
her. The Ell Dorado was towed to
sea, yesterday, by the steam tug
Mastick. The Ell Dorado carried a
cargo of Seattle coal. The brig
Tauns, loaded with lumber, cut to
order will sail for San Pedra, Cal,
tomorrow, under the command of
Capt. Williams. She is reported to
have been very successful of late in
her trade.
CONTESTED ELEcTIoN.-Theodore
O. Williams, Democratic nominee
for Sheriff of Kitsap county will con-
testthe election of Mr.. Geo. Severns,
the Republican candidate for that
office. The latter received q majori
ty over the former of 13 votes, which
Mr.. Williams claims to have been
illegally received. This will in all
probability be long contested suit,
and we doubt the advisability of the
proceedings.
ALAUGHABLE INcIDENT.-Our we'll
known Towny, Billy Ballou, was
fishing yesterday on Yesler's wharf,
and caught a small fish. No sooner
had he landed it however, than a cat
sprang out from under the wharf
and grabbed the fish, taking the line
as well, and leaving Billy nothing
but his pole as a residium. The
crowd laughed and Billy could do
no more't than the thing, at the Cen
tennial Saloon. r*
New SoCIETY.-Some OF the young
gentlemen Of Seattle are busy, at
present, organizing a society under
a charter from San Francisco, anti-
tied the "Jolly Fellows" This So
ciety has a membership of over two
hundred in Portland, and no doubt
will meet here the success it merits,
as SO many of our young men are
jelly, good fellows. .t+ ts-
DIyoRCE.--Nine cases for divorce
are on file in the office of the Dis
trict Court. That our marital laws
need revision, but few will deny,
This must occur, or else the rising
generation will hold the family re-
lation at so small a value, that the
greatest stay Of civilization (the
family will lose the reverence that
is its due.
STILL LAUGHING. The passers-by
