the drunkard "l'm going on after a

LOCAL NEWS.

A CIRCULAR, the receipt of which
10 acknowledged this week, contains
valuable information to WOOL
growers. 1t comes from Falkner,
Bell & Co.'S Wool Agency, San Fran
cisco. The following are few ex-
tracts: Numerous complaints have
been made by buyers of wool of the
mixed qualities in parcels from the
same ranch, and when clips have
come to hand even in quality, they
have readily been disposed of. Care
should also be taken in the putting
up of woods, and owners of sheep
should endeavor to raise the estima-
ton of their wool by affixing brand,
which, once known, will be a suffi-
cient guarantee as to the general
getting up and quality. Inquiries
this season have been chiefly for
wools of the liner quality, with a
small shrinkage and absence of gum
my matter, and the regret amongst
purchasers is, that there are not more
OF such cnpS sent TO market. we
should recommend growers, there
fore, to aim for the production of a
fine wool with sound, good staple
and of even quality, as we think, for
many years, there will be large de-
mand for clips of that description.
Owing to losses through drought in
the southern part of the State, a
large decrease in numbers must be
anticipated; consequently we look
for rise in value of all descriptions
of Stock, and better times for those
interested in the near future. Again,
they will find it more to their advant-
age to pay closer attention to the
breeding, and more especially to the
grading of their focks, by an effec-
tive system of culling. That there
is more profit and less expense on a
pure animal is an undisputed fact,
especially when one takes into con-
sideration that both animals need an
equal amount of pasture to sustain
tbem-all self-evident propositions,
but still daily overlooked"

HoN. J. II. WHITNEY, ex.member
Of the Territorial Legislature, from
Whatcom county, and formerly a
resident Of La Conner, has just re-
turned from a visit to Pennsyl 'ania,
his native State. He remained for
. time, however, in Lower Califor-
MIA, in hopes of seeing members of
his family who had accompanied him,
in better health on account of the
change of climate. Alas, how little
we realize of the turns in the path of
life until the terrible experience !
This gentleman, when he left for his
old Eastern home, took with him q
loving wife and three darling, bright
eyed children. To day he is bowed
under the weight OF accumulated af-
fictions which seem to have culmi-
mated in an overwhelming stroke at
his fortunes. His wife and two of
the prattling children who cheered
the evening fireside in days of yore
lie beneath the "clods of the valley"
The sympathies of anxious friends
fallJupon the ears of = man like this
out Of whose life the joy and light
have vanished, with the dull thud Of
hollow mockery. Even the silent
pressure of the hand but serves to
tear afresh the scarcely knitted sore.

DEDICATION. - The Methodist
church of this town was formally
dedicated to Almighty God, on Sun.
day last. Rev. G. v. Anthony, of
Portland, officiated, morning and
evening, and it is safe to say that
. more mastery and edifying dis.
course than that delivered by him in
the evening has not been listened to
by the people of Port Townsend
since the early days of its existence.
The church building presents decid-
edly q creditable appearance, the
amount recently expended upon it
being nearly $500. An indebted
ness Of $145, was liquidated on the
occasion mentioned, by making up
in cash contributions and promises
70 pay various sums, amounting in
all to little over $3.50. The build
ing requires only q little more labor
expended upon it in the way of fin-
ishing its steepls, and erecting a
neat fence around the lot to make it
al that could be desired-at present
at least. On account of illness, Rev.
A. Atwood, of Seattle, was prevent
ed from attending. Rev. B. J.
Sharp and family, from Dungeness
were present; also, from the same
place, of the family of Capt. E. H.
AcAlmond, Miss Lucy and Master
Henry, and from the family Of Mr..
Hall Davis, Miss Nellie.

WHILE in Port Discovery, few
days ago, we learned from interested
parties few particulars concerning
the reported discovery of coal near
Discovery Bay, published in last
weeks ARGUS. The vein discovered
by Mr.. Hooker is reported by that
gentleman as being, so far as traced
about a quarter of a mile-quite
narrow and confined, however hopes
are entertained that it may prove to
be wider below the surface or in
other places. He has men at work
and will develop it soon. The scene
of operations is about 8 miles from
the nearest point on the bay. Sam
Piles of the coal have been brought
in and tested, proving to be of first
class quality. Good coal has also
been discovered by other parties not
far from the locality mentioned; pos
sibly groupings of the same vein.
