From @e Daily Of Monday.
SNoHOMIsH.--We learn the follow.
ing facts from Justice Andrews, who
was in attendance at the recent term
of the District Court at Snohomish
City. There were So cases on the
docket. nearly all of them being de.
cided by default, there were but
two jury trials; j. B. Roberts was
adjudicated bankrupt; one limb OF
the law was left behind by not get
ting to the boat in time Saturday
morning. The river is high. Money
is very scarce in Snohomish. The
Nellie made the run from Snohom-
ish to Seattle in six hours.
JUST So. - An exchange says:
"Walla Walla has case of suspend
ed animation. 1t had daily paper
but now has none. It reached num-
Der 3, but never reached the half
dozen. The telegraph wires were
down most of the time and rather
than to clip the dispatches from the
O''egoniaaa and then declare they
were received by telegraph, as some
OF the Sound papers do, notably
the Lntelligemcer, it gave up the
ghost gracefully and honestly.
RESTORED. Nearly all the lands
north ::of King county, which were
withdrawn for the North Pacific
Railroad company, will be restored
to settlement by pre-emption and
homestead entry so soon as the nec-
essary orders are received at the
Olympia U. S. Land Office, which
will doubtless be by the 1st OF Jan
uary. 1878. Persons should not
send their money for such claims
until notice of such restoration is
given.
RETURNED. Frank Ledger, the
well-known shoemaker, has return
ed from..the Steilaguamish, and will
take bench in the shop of l.. A.
Treen for the winter. The work of
the jam at the mouth of the Stella
guamish will be continued, and will
probably be finished in about three
months, when large amount of fine
farming land will be available for
settlements. Frank is aiding the work
on the jam by furnishing provisions.
OLD.--The Pioneer Drug Store,
NJ. r. Maddox, proprietor. was es-
in 1868, and is the only
business house in the city which has
been continued since that time under
the same management. Next in
point of age comes the Seattle Bake

established the year following. See

houses in the DISPATCH.
NEW STocK.-One of the largest
stocks of furniture ever brought to

Messrs. Glore l. Wunder. It con-
sists of elegant chamber sets, sofas,
brackets, mouldings, etc.,

kota, and schooners Compeer and
Ida Schnauer. It is worth ones
while to see this new stock.
WHALEs.-Col. Nash, who was up
