CANNED CHowDER.-T San Francis
co Grocer and Country Merchant" a
most excellent weekly, devoted to the In
terests of the grocery and provision trade
of the Pacific Coast, says:
From Messrs. WIN. Underwood & Co., of
Boston, we have the genuine New England
ClaG ChOwder and fish ChOwder in three
pound tins. We have had practical tests of
the quality of the tirSt-named, and regard II
as an important addition to our list of canned
goods. The CLAIMS are Of the very best selec-
tions, and as numerous as the most eXaCtinS
lovers of this bivalve could desire, while the
cooking and seasoning are after the regular
New England method, leaving nothing to be
done but to warm the Chowder up, and add Il
few crackers as per directions on each can.
We commend the above to orr friend
Hunt, Of the canning firm Of T. Jackman
& Co., at Sequim. The canned CLANS put
up by that firm are already commanding
the highest rates In San Francisco, and Us
}. J. can make real New England clam
chowder it. is really worth the while tor
that firm to look into this branch of the
business. Halbut heads also make most
excellent chowder, and those persons in
tending to can halibut could make very
saleable and desirable article by converting
the heads into savory chowder and thus
saving tile entire fish.

SNow-Last Friday evening this place
was visited by an unexpected fall Of snow.
While the rain of early Saturday morning
and the bright sun OF the afternoon soon
melted the snow, still it has "nipped In
the bud, In many orchards, plums, pears
and cherries particularly the lattnr. We
cannot see that it has done much damage
IN this immediate vicinity. but We lear that
The small, early fruit OF the lower Sound
has suffered much. Mr.. Edward Strand,
OF Chimacum, informs us that he appre-
hends the damage in his locality to be con-
siderable. We hope not, as the China
cum folks are live and enterprisng farm
ers, and deserve a bountitul harvest each
year.

Trout AND FIsHING.-Chimacum creek

Trout AND FISHING ChimaCum creek
has been visited within the past few weeks
by numerous parties of fishermen, who
have returned home heavily laden with
strings of fish, some of which they caught
and others were purchased. We suggest
to a couple Of our gay and feetive friends
before they return from another fishing
froic. that they read the story Of Hone
shoe Robnson; and also In the words of
Captain Edward Cutie, that they ''over-
haul their Annanias and Saphira," and
when found, to make note of the tate
which betel those perverters of the truth,
before they claim to have caught fish
which the telegraph said were not taken
by them with fresh beef bait, but with
sample Of Senator BANDS newly none

sEABEcK From a gentleman

SEABEcK AFFAIRs.-- From gentleman
residing in Seabeck we learn the following
items: A vessel Is being built there which
will be finished sometime during the COM
ing year. Her dimensions will be 2O4
feet keel, 10 feet hold and A feet beam.
She will perhaps be bark, will have a
single deck and will be the largest vessel
Of the kind IL not the largest of ANY kind
that has ever been built on Puget Sound.
The Seabeck Mill Company are the
builders, and Mr.. Hiram DunCaster the
boss workman. Times are quite lively at
tile mill compared with other places on
the Sound. Activity in the various de-
partments of lumber manufacturing Is
manifested at this port. One Of the most
recent improvements in the machinery
nsed is beveled saw for saving out ship
timbers. This invention will greatly IA
cilitate the speed with which ship strnc-
lures are put together. Seaheck bids fair
to become one of the foremost milling
ports Oh the Sound.

MURDER ON ORcAs.-By private let
ter from Orcas Island, dated April 9th,
we learn that horrible murder had been
committed there about month ago. The
victim, named VIM. O'Donnell, was about
40 years ofage and was shot with rifle, the
bullet entering the breast on the left side.
He was working in the field ut the time Of
the murder and the body was hid away
under pile of rails where it was not found
until about three weeks afterwards
neighbor's dog made the discovery. De-
ceased was respected by all, and the bloody
deed has excited much indignation. Sus-
picion rests strongly upon Victoria In
dians. A meeting of the settlers on the
Isla nd was called and reward of $500
was offered for the apprehension Of the
guilty one or ones. 1t is requested also
that Governor Ferry make the reward
double what it already is. Our informant
states that this is the fifth murder which
has occurred in the county, under similar
circumstances and the citizens want pro-
lection.

CAPT. Chas. Willoughby moves this
week, with his family, to Neah Bay, there
to remain as he is now fairly installed In
the position of Indian Agent. We are
sorry to lose the Captain and his family
from Port Townsend, but feel sure that
the change cannot but be desirable one
as they will be able to accomplish much
good in their new line Of action. This
they will undoubtedly do if their duties on
the reservation are discharged with that
fidelity which may safely be predicted.

Gently called upon to give legal deini-
ton of the word "team.' A tenant of an
English duke had agreed as part of his
rent payment, to furnish at sundry times

and one proper person."
On one occasion the dukes manager
desired the farmer to send cart to fetch

mansion. The farmer offered to furnish
two horses and a man, but insisted that
the duke shout supply the cart ''There
can't be a team without a cart or wag

the team" .
Both parties were honest, and both
were obstinate, and SO the law was asked
to decide which defnation OF a team .
was correct, the dukes or@the farmers.
a jury said the dukes, but the farmer
asked the court Of queens bench if the
jury were not quite as incorrect as was
the duke.
The court heard learned lawyers argue.
and also discussed among themselves.

has. Why couldn't you have got your
name i'll the papers as we'll as he.''
II don't want my name in the papers
in that way said Boggs.
That's the way; always behind every
body else. We never could hold our
own along with our neighbors."
"But we couldn't hold our own if I
went into bankruptcy persisted Boggs.
Nonsense" cried Mrs. B. Don't the
Spriggses, who went into bankruptcy
last summer, live just as we'll if not a
little better than betore2 Now Boggs, do
