For 3. covyER.-The rich agri-

cultural belt lying to the north of
us is gaining accessions from Ore
gon and California. About two
years ago, an old gentleman named
Horace Brewster, came here from
Coos Bay and began to look about
for home for himself and family.
He purchased at one time and an
other, about six hundred acres In
Whatcom county, and began opera
tions in earnest. A year later he
sent for his youngest son and, about
a month ago, for all the rest OF his
family. They arrived here on the
Annie Stewart on Wednesday night.
and left on the schooner Mary Par
ker, for La Conner. Tie old gen
tleman, his son Joseph, and his
daughter and son-in-law David II.
Byrnes and wife sill set out for
their new home. That peace and
prosperity may attend their efforts
to amass a competency in our latter
day Holland, is our earnest desire.
COAST SURVEY. The operations
of this branch of the Government
service are nearly ended for the sea-
son. Schooner Yukon is at anchor
in the upper cove at Port Madison,
abreast of Hammond's fishery.
Schooner Fauntleroy came over
here yesterday and took in large
water-tank at Craig & Hastings
wharf. She goes to Olympia to-day
to lay up for the winter. Capt. Eli
colts force have about finished their
work, and he will go East in q day
or two. The great extent of water
front on Puget Sound makes the
survey of its waters an almost in
terminable labor.
The OLIVER WoLcoTT.-7'his
steam revenue cutter, after ccaling
at the Seattle bunkers, left for Port
Townsend last night. One of her
lieutenants (Killgore) is on his way
back from San Francisco, whittier
he went for examination with a view
to promotion; and he may possibly
take the new cutter now building
at Portland. Lieut.. Chaytor and
Asst. Engineer Remick attended the
Ivy hop on Wednesday night and
seemed to have enjoyed the spark
ling wit of our vivacious city bellies.
ARRIVED OUT. The following YES
sells arrived at San Francisco on the
10Th: Bark Montana, from Seattle;
bark Mary Glover, from Port Dis
covery: bark King Philip, from Port
Gamble. Arrived 21st, bark Legal
Tender, from Port Ludlow, bark
Tconium, from Port Blakely. Sailed.
ship War Hawk for Port Discovery;
bark Amethyst, for Sehome; schoon-
er Alice. for Port Gamble.
SOLD. The old ship John Jay,
which has carried many a million
feet of lumber from Puget Sound to
San Francisco, has been sold for a
whaler. She was built in New York
forty-nine years ago, and can buck
all night at Il sea and take all next
day to sail around it. From her
model it can easily be detected that
she was not built at Port Ludlow.
THANKS, The Ivy Social Club de-
sire to return thanks to Captain
Mattson, of the bark Harvest Home,
md Captain Mahlgram, Of the Au-
reola, for the loan Of flags and
bunting used in decorating the hall
on Wednesday evening. Much to
the regret of the club, neither of
those gentlemen were present.
Coal RoAD.-Ground was broken
on the Puyallup coal road, last Sat
urday, by contractor Meeker. Ow-
ing to the rapidly diminishing pro-
duct of the mines at Mount Diablo
and Coos Bay, the opening of new
mines at other points on the Sound,
will scarcely affect Seattle in any
way. The English grain fleet are
what we have most to fear.
"JoLLY Coop" Fellows This
is the name of q new association of
young gentlemen in this city, who
have joined together for the pur-
poses of social pleasure. They will
give dancing party in few days.
All these clubs help to improve
society.
VENIsoN. = There are more old
gourmands in Seattle than any
other place we ever saw. Yester-
day morning, Diller, ef the City
Market, got in q carcass of venison,
and it was all sold to the Hungry
Club before twelve O'Clock.
WANTED.--A good salesman, thor
