IMPossTBbE.---The gentleman who
wrote the "bundle Of errors" for last
nights Tribune evidently never heard
of two brothers embracing the same
profession. He says 1.-THE barkentine
Fremont did not come here under
steam in 1859 at all, nor was she
then commanded by Capt. Dali. In
In 1858 and 80, Dali was running

which brought mp supplies during
the san Juan Island controversy, was
commanded by Capt. Christopher
Dali, who afterwards lost the Cont

he Columbia and MOI therner run
here as stated by the Tribune. Port
land was their ultimate destination.
We concur in the statement that
''neighbor Tom should be little
ess reckless in his paragrapfing."

two years ago. But then we don't
know anything about this country.
Prosch knows it all.
UrsALADY LE.--Samuel D. Howe,
assignee in bankruptcy for this es-
tate. was in town yesterday and filed
his report of the sale with Judge
Lewis. Any objections to this sale
must be made to James Seavy, clerk
of the Court at Port Townsend be
fore noon on the Goth inst. or it will
stand confirmed as made. In his
management of the affairs of the
concern, Mr.. Howe has earned the
| goodwill of all with whom he has
come in contact. To the creditors
he has been indeed "the right man
in the right place." He was de-
termined that SO valuable piece of
property should not be sold for a
song, SO he bid it up to $50, 600 in
behalf of the creditors of the con
cern. 1t was ''dirt cheap" at those
figures and will Clear itself inside of
two years. If half what we hear is
true in reference to future business
operations at that point the purchas-
ers will have a bonanza in local
trade alone, to say nothing of what
lumber is exported abroad.
SoUALLY.--After the heavy rains
which prevailed on Tuesday and
Wednesday nights, the weather clear
ed off with a cold southeasterly
wind that kicked up fearful bob
berry in the bay. At Mechanics
Wharf. the barkentine Modoc lay
on The south side of tie pier SO that
the wind held her fast to the dock.
but if she had been on the other
side it would have taken some lines
to hold her. The Fanny Lake was
to have left for Skagit and Laconner
at noon but, owing to the heavy
wind, Capt. Hill concluded to re-
main at the wharf till this morning.
The Libby got in early in the morn
ing and also leaves for Laconner
and island ports to-day. But the
swell was particularly rough on the
scows and small craft which were
moored in the slips. They bobbed
around like corks and parted their
lines occasionally but 20 serious
damage was done.
VESSELS SoLD.--H. L. Chapman,
of Olympia. has sold the steam scow
Capital to man named Henderson
for 81, 500. .She was built to carry
freight from the "West side wharf"
to Olympia and is said to be paying
property. We also note the sale of
the schooner Loleta built here by
Capt. VIM. Hammond some years
ago. She brought 81, 900 and is of
120 tons burthen. We believe it is the
intention of the new owners to place
her under the Hawaiian flag on her
arrival at Honolulu.
REMovAL.-Hall & Paulson have
been very busy in removing their
furniture mandatory to their new
shop on Mechanics Square for
the last two days. There they
will be able to unload lumber from
the vessel into their very shop doors
and ship the furniture in the same
way when it is necessary. We con-
gratulate them on making change
that cannot fail to inure to their
