CRops. Henry H. McCabe. from

CRoPs.-Henry 81. McCabe, from
White River, says that crops lool
well and that hay-making will com.
mence about the middle of July
then those who wish employment
can get it. We fear there are many
in Seattle complaining they cannot
get work, who are afraid they will
find it.
CAsrINGs.--We saw yesterday a
lsEge amount of castings on Yesler'a
wharf for the Gamble and Ludlow
mills. They were cast at the Puget
Sound Foundry. Some Of them were
very bulky and difficult to mould
but as lot they were as nice cas-
tings as can be turned out of any
shop north Of San Francisco.

TEMPEST IN A TEAPoT.- The
"Diabolical Deed" chronicled in
our morning contemporary, turns out
abont as we expected. The rail
road of the Seattle Coal and Trans
portation Company runs through
the land of Mr.. John Ross, an old
and highly respectable citizen of
this county. The Company and Mr..
Ross failing to agree upon the
terms for the right-of-way, the lat
ter. for the purpose of bringing the
matter to an issue before the Courts,
yesterday openly tore up the rails
upon his land, and he says he in
formed the Company he had done
so before the train left the depot,
aud he tagged the locomotive and
warned the engineer of what he had
done, long before they got to the
spot. He thought by doing this
without loss of locomotive or cars,
or danger to life or limb, it would
bring the matter to q close. Mr..
Ross is having an examination be-
fore Justices Court at Newcastle
to-day, Kessrs. Mcknight & Leary
for the prosecution and Messrs.
Hall & Burke for defence. We be-
lieve the matter will be compromised
befose it goes any further, as Mr..
Shattuck. the Superintendent of the
road, is man who looks more to
the interests of his Company than to
the qualification of personal spite.
SEABEcK.-Captain Cove, of the
Black Diamoud informs us that the
steamer now in the course of con-
struction at Seabeck is larger than
heretofore reported. She will be
the largest steam tug on the Sound.
Her frame is up and a large number
of men at work on her. j.. . Bark Gen
Cobb went to sea yesterday. There
are two foreign vessels loading at
the mill, which is running night and
day. Everything looks lively on the
Canal and Union City is building
up fast. -. We are informed by a
passenger that the Seabeck mill is
to be improved soon. but will not
shut down, having many contracts
with foreign ports.
ARRIvKD.-Schooner Carrie Hay
den arrived last night. consigned to
Crawford &1Harrington, with 70
tons Of freight to parties here and
up-Sound. She has on board .
separator marked F. ]. s. and T. J.
r. This vessel WAS built.at Port
Ludlow by Hall Brothers. She will
load with lumber at Colman's mill
for Ean Francisco.
