The L mon Banking Company of Baltimore

than above par. the loss will fall princi-
p3lly on the stockholders, although tue few

OUR SHIP BUILDING,

On the 4th inst, Capt. Hall, Of the
famous Hall Brothers, of Port Lud.
low, arrived at this port, by the bark
Camden, on his return from HonoIu-
la. He has an order for schooner,
to be finished by the first of March
next. So great was his haste to pro-
ceed with the work that he left i'm
mediatey for his destination to COM
mence operations.
The pilot schooner Mary Foster,
built by the Hall Brothers, was found
to bea grand success, making the pas.
sage from this port to Honolulu in 10
DAYS. She gave such complete sat.
isfaction that it is expected orders
will arrive for more vessels before
the one now in progress is completed.
According to this, Port Ludlow will
evidently be a scene Of activity
among ship carpenters for some time
to come.
That Puget Sound fir is gaining
fast in popularity among snip owners
is quite evident by the increasing de-
maud for vessels built here. Eastern
and Southern men are becoming as
anxious to replace their rotten and
worn out vessels with staunch ones
built with our light, durable and
strong timber, as our people are to
increase the trade just looming up
into proportions OF Importance.
There's many tree in our forest
groves that will, in the course Of the
next few years, be exchanged for the
coin of other countries. The timber
in this Territory, which forms such a
prominent feature of its wealth, is
attracting notice everywhere.

Why Is Ir?-It is in order just
now to interrogate Capt. Starr as to
the reason why the Olympia mail
should be left behind on the Monday
trip. Yesterday we heard gentle
man say that he had just received an
important letter from Olympia, writ
ten last Sunday. These mails can
hardly be triaed with unless salts
factory reasons for so doing be given.
Late advices indicate that Post
master Burr is at fault. If this be
true, the explanation is none the
Tess necessary.

By a communication to Messrs.

condition to proceed on her journey.

Of an insane asylum, and has at times
since exhibited symptoms of his old ma
lady; 6uf not even his faithful and devot-
el Christian wife had the slightest suspi-
ciOn of such fearful catastrophe rs this.
lie attended church on Sunday morning,
but at night staid at home with the chill
drrn while Mrs. Dunfsld and the two
daughters and Mr.. Hopper went to church
On their return, Mrs. Dumtield, as usual,
led in family worship, her husband kneel
down by her. 4 posture he had never be-
fore taken during family prayers. He ap
peared unusually kind, requesting his
daughters To sing for him until a late
hour. Upon retiring he unaccountably
refused to let his wife come to his bed, and
hence her return to the chair by the fire.
His muttiad feet, the presence ofraZor, ak,
butcher knife and strychine, all show
method in his madness which indicates
that he had deliberately proposed to muir
der his whole family. The real cause of
this mournfil tragedy was jealousy and
insanity produced by the Use Of intoxicat-
ing drink and opium. His temporal af-
fairs were IN wretched condition, owing
to Indebtedness. Yesterday he was bur-
rird. Mrs. Duntleld still lives. and under
the skilltul treatment Of DIR. Bagey, it is
hoped she may recover although it Is
Ike "hoping against hope" ANON.

that Mrs. Duntield is dying, Her age is
