70 day.
Heavy rains this morning. The Mile
still aground. Every cilUlt is being made
to get her oioot'
Mr.. lIanford of Seattle arrived in town
Thursday via Snoqu,lmie Falls and Falls
City and Stopped at the River Side Hotel.
A large force of carpenters
are at work, on the Athenirum. We
hone to have the building far enough
along to be used for the festivals during
the coming winter.
We were intending to give Win. Ste
ycns local on opening out his new bu-
siness, but all the boys have found him
out aud taken so many chances already,
that we deem it unnecessary.
For several weeks past the Yakima
has been hauled up on the ways at Sc
attic undergoing II thorough over haul
inc, the first since she was built She is
now about ready to return to this place,
and will present an appearance enough
better to make up for her overhauling.
The up Sound mail was prepared and
placed in the office last week as usual.
We expected to send it to Seattle by the
Mllie last Tuesday, one day in advance
of the time the mail is supposed to leave
here under the present arrangements; but
the Neliie went up river, and is left high
and dry on n sand.bar. Neither the otter
or Fanny Like came down, and the Zeph-
~ took off no mail, so this week we have
two mails in one to go.
While absent from the County, com
municatiOn was received from $, ID.
Rcinhart of Whatcom relating to his
connection with the Independent party
of that county, and setting forth certain
grievances alleged to have resulted to
his injury and that of his friends, by
what he considers mistatements of the
NaH. The article is of too personal Il
nature for our columns-we, know moth
ing of the facts involved, and it is too
late Tor us to do it justice by an abridge-
ment, so we give this notice for not
publishing it.
The steamer Yakima left the ways at
Seattle last Monday, proceeded to Gam
bic and arrived here this morning about
II o'clock, bringing freight and lumber
for different parties. She has been thro'
ughly overhauIcd and refitted. Hercab-
ins are now really elegant and the boat
presents II finer appearance generally
than she did when first built. Capt. o.
ney has not degenerated in the least since
the boat has been idle, but is the same
genial gentleman he always was, and will
always be welcome here whether he brings
his boat with him or not. Success to the
Yakima we say.
Save us from our sympathetic friends !
This is the way the editor of the Tolono
Herald, n sprightly journal published at
Tolono, Ills, goes for us--because we are
compelled often times to make ourselt
generally useful aud dip into great
many things, which in larger communi'
ties are usually apportioned to separate
persons.

THE CoLBY WAsHER.-We call the
attention OF the people of Snohomish Co
to an examination of the work performed
by the Colby Washer. A simple trial of
its work is sufficient to convince anyone
of its superiority, in every respect, over
all other machines now in use. A. VI.
Cornelius will show its work, free of
charge, to any who may wish to test its
merits. This machine is warranted to
last three years and give entire satIsiac'
tion. Territory iQr sale.
