TOWN AND COUNTRY.

From Daily Of Saturday.
ENCOURAGING When the new
furniture factory of Hall & Pauison
was opened last spring the building
was thought to be too large. but
now, after the lapse of a few months,
it is so crowded that an addition
will be necessary in the spring. The
shop is now filled with furniture in
different stages of completion, in
cluding a large amount for filling an
Indian contract. The firm are max
ing desks and furniture out of ma
tive woods for the Odd Fellows
Hall, which is worth ones inspec-
tion. Nothing in the furniture line
can be more beautiful than their
sets manufactured of native woods,
and trimmed with venering sawed
from maple burls. The firm now
have on hand in their dry-house and
store house a large quantity of the
most beautiful ash and maple lum-
ber. Orders are coming in beyond
their capacity to fill them. Persons
are invited to inspect the factory.
See their new advertisement.
Now READY.-The WEEKLY DIS
PATCH, containing thirty-four col
umns of closely printed reading mat
ter, is now ready for mailing. Its
contents are composed of full tele-
graphic reports from all parts of the
world, editorial articles on the politi-
cal questions of the day and other

items, and variety of entertaining
miscellany. Commencing with the
new volume the subscription price
of the WEEKLY DISPATCH has been
reduced from three dollars to two
dollars per year, thus placing it
within the reach of every family in
the Territory. The success of the
paper thus tar has been very fiatter-
ing, and the publishers feel warrant
ed in promising their patrons the
full value of their subscriptions in
the quantity and quality of the read
ing matter which they will find from
week to week in the columns of the
DISPATCH. Price, i'll wrappers ten
cents.
The LILIPUTIANs.- fair house
greeted the return of the Liliputians
last evening; the play of Jack the
Giant Killer was success, but Too
dies was incomparably fine, and
kept the house in continued bursts
of laughter. These people are curl
osities to behold, but when consid-
cred as actors, they are truly won
derful. Commodore Mutt and Miss
Jennie Quigley, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Toodles, excelled the original char
acters even. The company will be
kindly remembered in this city.
RKBU11D1Na.-The ashes of Mr.
Malson's slaughter house, which
was destroyed by fire last Thursday
morning, were not cold when force
of workmen were put at work clean
ing away for larger and better
building, which will be so far COM
pleted as to be used for slaughtering
next Monday. The new building
will be insured. The building
which was destroyed had been insur-
ed, but the policy expired some
months before the fire.
To BE misunderstanding to the
CAurcAman the Bishop Scott Gram
mar School will be rebuilt in the
spring, and the new building must
be of brick. The head master has a
plan of his own, which, if it is
adopted, will make much hand
somer and more convenient building
than the one destroyed. It will be
we'll lighted, and will have ample
parlors, bath rooms, and several
rooms fitted up for indoor recrea-
ton.
AUSTIN A. BELL writes to a member
of this firm, that since he left Seattle
he has been subjected to all the delays
and vexations which generally attend
those who go down to the sea in ships.
At present he is weather bound on
board the bark Matte Macleay at AS
toria, where she has laid for the past
ten days. He now regrets that he had
not taken one of the many ships at the
port of Seattle which hoist their sails
and go into the open sea without obs
struction.
WILL ARRIVE To-NIGHT.-A spec
ial dispatch received by Jack Levy,
this afternoon, states that the
steamer California, Capt. Thorn,
arrived at Port Townsend at 1:3O P.
NJ. to day from Sitka. She reports
that the steamship Alaska was at
Victoria when she left this morning
This being the case it is probable
she will reach this port this evening,
unless she has a large quantity OF
freight for Port Townsend.
A NEW style lamp chimney is for
salea the shop of Hendricks & Curtis
called the mica chimney. It is com.
posed of two flat surfaces, which are
kept in position by metal frame.
They can be easily removed and
cleaned, but the crowning advan-
tage is that they are indistructable.
HoN. GEO. W. TIBBETTs informs
us that he has appointed Miss Rosa
Downs, of. .Renton, to scholarship
in the University. There are now
three anpointments under this act.
