the bark Aureola having previously
sailed in tow of the Favorite. As
there is clear northerly weather pre-.
vailjng, she will probably keep the
lead all the way TO San Francisco.
We regret that the Ffitbiof and
American Girl could not have got
out together, as they are rival spec
linens of the architecture of Coos
Bay and Puget Sound, as we'll as
excellent sailors both. And while
we claim Puget Sound to be the
great ship-bui;ding section of the
coast, we must do Coos Bay the
justice to say that she is the only
place which has any just preteu-
sions to rivalry with US. Ship War
Hawk, Capt. Doyle, sailed from
Port Discovery, on Monday, with
lumber. Barks Oregon and Co.
lumbia arrived at Po,t Townsend
on the 18th, both destined for Sea-
beck. The bark Montana has ar
rived at San Francisco from Seattle.
Also sailed from San Francisco for
Sound ports-Ship Dashing Wave,
Tacoma; bark Forest Queen, Port
Ludlow; bark Lizzie Williams, Sc
aitle; bark Powhattan, Port Gamble;
bark Marmion and Wellington, for
Nanaimo.
THREE H,GHFLYEEs. - Three of
the fastest sailing vessels ever built
in America are now on their way to
Puget Sound, two for lumber and
one for Coal. The first Two are The
bark Forest Queen and the ship
Dashing Wave, bound for Tacoma
and Port Ludlow, respectively
The coal ship is bound for this port,
being no other than the renowned
ship Western Shore. which made
two trips from San Francisco in 101
and 104 days, and one from Liver
pool 10 San Francisco in ITO. We
! should like to see the whole three
tun loose at Point Wilson together,
going down.
New BolLsCs. ---S;ea ner Goliah,
the old swift-and-sure tug owned by
The Puget Mill Company, is TO have
her old boilers taken out at Port
Gamble enc replaced by new ones.
The work will be commenced on the
oath, after which time the steamer
will be out of service I'LL further no.
tice. Her work will be performed
by the side-wheel steamer Favorite,
Capt. Williams, as ia: as she is able !;
but no boat cao fully replace the
Golial. She is now 20 years old
and seems fit to do fai.hful service
for quarter of a century to cone.
IAN AGROUND. While working up
the Sonnd towards Port Blakely on
Wednesday night, the bark Oak
Hill got aground on sand-spit at
the mouth of Eagle Harbo-, exactly
opposite this city. Unfortunately,
it was top of high water when she
went ashore, hence it will be a job
to get her of. The Blakely took a
pull at her on the next full tide, but
could not move her. It is thought
that by dischar2iug her ballast she
can be got off unhurt. It looks to
us like good chance to get some
ballast for rmacadamizing our streets.
AIMS House. The County Aud
itor of King county will receive pro-
posals under seal, for the care of the
INDECENT poor for the year commeac-
ing on the 1st day Of March, A. D.,
1877. These bids must be made
separately, first for board, lodging
and clothing; and secondly, for their
medical and surgical attendance.
All proposals to be handed to the

reserves thu right to reject any and

FOREIGN CHARTERs.---Ship Annie
Fish, of ] ,496 tons measurement, is
coming here for a cargo of lumber
to take to Callao, for which she will
receive 91 lbs per thousand, going
thence with grain 70 Cork. The
now barkentine Quickstep, built at
Port Ludlow,is coming tothe Sound
for cargo of lumber to take to Val
paraiso,. on owners account.
PREMATURE. = We were a little
ahead of time in announcing the
marriage of Miss Olivia O'Brien, of
Olympia, and Capt. Thomas A.
Wright, of Seattle. We took the
