From the Daily of Nursday.

OF the fuyaliup Goal load, has CIV.
en- a great impetus to matters in that
valley. A new two-story building
is being erected by the citizens, 20
be used as church and academy.
The school will be graded into three
departments and none but the best
teachers employed. VIM. H. Pun
phrey, of this city, recently sold to
the Trustees of the institution a
tirst-class Mason & Hamlin organ
for $40, to be used for school and
church purposes. To defray the
cost of this. ball is to be given to-
day week, the 22nd inst, at L. F.
Thompson's residence. Tickets s.
so per couple. Guests coming from
abroad will be met at Tacoma
with vehicles to convey them to the
place Of destination. AS there is no
ball at this place on that night an1
none (that we know of) at Olympia,
on the night referred to. the Puyal
lup dance deserves to draw good
sized crowd from abroad.
BIG STRIKE John W. Cochrane,
who has been out at the Seattle mines
for some days. informs us that the
workmen have struck the lost lead
number four) again. This will af-
ford a largely increased product
from the mines and is a. welcome
piece of good news for Superinten
dent Shattuck on his return from
San Francisco. In the past two
weeks, Seattle coal has advanced
from eight to nine dollars in the
San Francisco market and hopes are
entertained of still better prices.
The coming of warm weather de-
creases the demand for domestic pur-
poses, but augments it for railroad
fuel and manufactures; so that there
is no fallingoff to be dreaded on ac-
count of the summer days which
come SO early in California.
MARINE. Bark Powhattan sailed
from Gamble on Tuesday night for
San Francisco and the Roswell
Sprague will get off about Saturday
.. AT Ludlow the barks Mariana
and Adelaide Cooper are taking in
cargo, also the barkentine Quickstep
-. Times are said to be lively at

The latter vessel will sail about Fri
day. for Melbourne. Bark Montana
sailed yesterday for San Francisco
from this place and will be followed
by the Gem OF the Ocean to-day.
Brig Levi Stevens follows the Gem
and the North Star takes the Malay's
place. Ship Western Shore will
take about 700 tons of Seattle coal
between decks, after filling her lower
hold with Renton.
BODY FoUND.-On Tuesday last,
some parties from Gamble were out
in boat near Foulweather Bluff and
discovered the dead body of a man.
As the remains were too badly de-
composed to admit of removal to
Gamble, the Coroner went over on
Wednesday to examine the body.
The jury were unable to arrive at
any definite conclusion, but believe
the body to be that of Goodwin, the
steward of the Yakima, who fell over
board and was drowned in Novem-
ber last. The body was buried on
the beach where it was found.
THE CIrY OF PANAMA.-This stea-
mer arrived here yesterday morning
in dense fog and only reached her
dock about o'clock, after blowing
whistles for an hour. She put out
her freight and left again at noon.
Her passenger list has already been
published in these columns. She
reports meeting the Dakota on Mon
day at 4 A. NJ. off Yaquina Bay and
at P. NJ, off Cape Disappointment
met barkentine loaded with lum-
ber. Purser Wafer has our thanks
for late San Francisco papers.
WANDERING MIND.--A Britisher
at Fort Yale recently drove a pitch
fork through grunter belonging to
the Hudson Bay Company, for
which he was arrested. His coun-
sci will plead mental alteration,
on the ground that the man believed
he was the Prince of Wales and had
not yet returned from hunting wild
boars in the Punjaub. you know.
