EXTENSIVE Coal SALE.-It is re-
ported that the negotiations are
bending for the sale Of the Talbot
Coal Mine, for which purpose Ed
ward Vischer, Esq, has arrived he'e
from San Francisco. The interest
of W. C. Talbot, Esq, has already
been purchased by the gentlemen
represented by Mr.. Vischer, and
those of Messrs. Collins, Mcknight,
Learv and others, are what the gen
.lemen are after. While we dislike
to see the profits of our industries
spent in San Francisco, yet we must
reflect that the present holders re-
siding here will re-invest the pro-
ceeds of the sale inthe improvement
of property here which will greatly
adorn our city. There is need OF
new fire. proof buildings and they
will be a good investment. 1t IS bet
ter to paw big rent to local capt.
alist, than heavy insurance pre-
MUM to foreign corporation.
HUMoRs OF THE CAMPAIGN.-The
fun over the last of the battle was
hot and furious. Yesterday, John
l.. Jameson, of the bookstore was
Tom Mast of the jamboree, and had
pat up set of Centennial Marion
cites. He had Judge Scott with his
head buried in his hands, saying
Can these things be?" while Kel-
logg and Dyer were armed with lit
tie hatchets, while the editor of this
paper was provided with another,
bearing the following legend sis
this TOM a hawk k?' The inscription
on Mr.. Dyer was rather of relaxa-
tory character here, but then we
have had no Dyer here. That is all
prejudice. The truly American game
of Poker was illustrated by the two
candidates for Wreckmaster-Jack
Levy and Jack Jamieson-entitled a
pair of Jacks" Take it all around,
the boys had lots of fun over it.
The RULING PAssIoN.-It was 10
o'clock Yesterday when we sat down
to our little solitary table at Piper's,
where they give you fat steaks and
good coffee. Near us at another ta-
bic sat an overbeveraged individual
whose potations had consigned him
toa state of somnolency. The waiter
came up and asked, "What will you
have sir?" but received no reply.
He shook the inebriate again and
asked, "What will you have for
breakfast? Beef steak, pork steak,
mutton chop, ham and eggs?" The
crapulous customer looked up with
a weary air and mnrmured, "Any-
thing hic] to beat [hic] Booth!"
PERsoS4s. Henry A. Webster
Esq, collector of Customs at Port
Townsend, called on us at midnight
on Tuesday. He had just arrived
here on the Oliver Wolcott, through
the heavy fog. 80. Arthur Delany,
for some time foreman of this office,
goes to Snohomish city to take a
similar position on the Star. go.
Otis Freeman arrived here. on Tues
day, looking as if he had never been
sick an hour. -.
CORRECTION. - We were misin-
formed as to the Jail delivery by Po-
liceman Thorndike on Tuesday.
No charge was preferred against
Sullivan, hence Thorndike had
right to release him, and Sullivan,
not being under sentence. had the
right to vote whenever set at liberty.
Desiring to wrong no man, especially
a public officer, we cheerfully give
place to this correction.
LATEsr.-Polls closed at rs AM. 1t
