pare for the event and the con

A PLEASANT AFFA1E.--The masquer-
ade of the Sing Verein Gsrmania. last
evening was largely attended, and the
numerous characters cleverly sustained.
We have not space in which to mention
many of them The character of q
Milkmaid was cleverly acted by Miss
Glassup, who was accompanied by Joe
McClaire, as q sort of dandy of Revo>
lutionary days. with patent self-acting
coat tails. Capt. Charles Lowe made a
sanguinary looking Mexican Bandit.
George Spencer. as o Chinese boy, was
excellent. T. G. Wilson was Turkish
pasha. Billy Reach was a Yankee.
FoA, of the Occidental. had his back up
considerably as a Haunchback. Ang.
Mehlhorn made a funny Schoolboy.
Jake Beer appeared as jelly fat Miller.
George Hill was very clever Fop. and
Ed Terry personated Night. Matt Kelly
was pretty solid little Page. With the
exception of the Milkmaid, the lady
characters did not afford much room for
acting. The characters generally. how-
ever. were well represented by all. The
prizes were awarded to Miss Glassup
and Mr.. Mehlhorn.
10. o. O.F.-Special meeting this
Saturday evening of Olive Branch
Lodge, No. 4, and Seattle Lodge,

The physician in charge of Paul
Koerner, who attempted suicide by
shooting, says he appears better to
day than at any previous time. The
ball appears to have lodged near his
shoulder. He is liable, however, to
meet with relapse.
II is little remarkable that the
friends of Mr. A. A. Denny should
persist in bringing his name before
the convention, as they did yester-
day, after he had positively declined
to be candidate.

BYa private letter from Honolulu,
Sandwich Islands, we learn that
several residents of this city are
now there, apparently well content
ed. They find the natives very sus-
picious OF strangers, they being re-
garded as escaped convicts until an
acquaintance proves them to be
otherwise.
ARIsrocRAT1c.-Among the pas
sengers which arrived last night,
was the wife of Wa Chung, our
Chinese merchant and contractor.
AS an indisputable proof Of her
noble birth we may state that her
feet are about the size of five year
old girls.
RETURNED.-Hon. ]. J, McGilvra
returned to his home last evening
on the steamship Dakota, having
greatly aided Judge Jacobs, our del
egate in Congress. in his efforts for
the restoration to settlement of the
lands heretofore claimed by the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company.
4 SMALL schooner has been haul
ed out at Lakes shipyard. below
Belltown, for repairs. Soon the
construction of q steamer will be
begun at this yard.
THE logs which broke loose last
Sunday are still floating about the
bay. Evidently they are of little
value, or they would have been
picked up.

DIsTURBERs.-In Justice Snyder's
court this morning John Mackin
was fined $40 and costs for an as
sault and battery on the person of
James Kelly. Kelly, who was badly
beaten about the face, was fined $40
and costs for being drunk and dis
orderly, and disturbing the peace.
Both men went to Jail in default of
payment. In Justice SCOTS court
two men were up on a charge of
drunk and disorderly. One urged
that he was not in the habit of drink
ing, and begged to be let off as he
intended to go to work to-day, but
as the evidence was against him he
was fined SIS and costs, and committed
for non payment. The other man
was still too drunk to answer, and
was allowed until three o'clock this
afternoon to sober off.
Is 1T REPUTATION ?-Last week
petition was secretly circulated in
this city praying the District Court
to annul our city charter, under a
law passed by the last legislature.
The petition was presented to Judge
Lewis last Saturday. The members
of our city council knew nothing
about this move until this morning.
This would seem to be a move in
favor of the reputation of our city
indebtedness. Such repudiation
would be nothing short of robbery.
If reputation is the object of this
move to annul the city charter it is
the duty of those of our voters who
believe in honesty as principle, to
defeat the scheme.
| Mr.. GEORGE FISHER, whose funeral
took place from the Brown church
yesterday, was member of the In
dependent Order of Odd Fellows,
he having withdrawal card from a
lodge IN Eugene City. Oregon. The
members of the order in this city
accordingly buried his remains after
the beautiful and impressive cere-
monies of the Odd Fellows, about
25 of the fraternity going to the
cemetry for that purpose.
ADR1Fr. yesterday afternoon a
boom of logs near the mill broke
loose by the boom chains parting,
and the logs were scattered. They
were still adrift this morning. We
learn that they belong to some per-
sons who have been logging in a
small way along the shore of the
| Sound. The boom was small one
! and the damage was light.

To THE EDITORS OF THE DIsPATcE
Peter Hovey and VIM. Douglass
have quite a number Of logs in the
river near this place. and are putting
in more. Ned Darlington has O
large Lumber in the water, but is
not doing much in the camp at pres
ent. Munson & Fenelson have about
$50, 900 feet in the water at their
place at Port Susan. and about 1OO,-
900 cut in the woods ready to haul.
VIM. B. Moore has about 500, 900 in
the water, and is getting more. Geo.
Kyle has sold his tide marsh farm OF
12O acres at the mouth of the river
for $1,000 to Mr.. Brigger. of Sal
mon Bay. Many of the farmers on
marsh claims are engaged in repair
ing damages done to the dykes by
the late high tides. Jim Long is not
doing much now at his logging
camp, but has q large number Of
logs in the water. A new logging
camp will start at Adams place in a
few days.
The school directors expect to
start up the school on the river
about the first OF May and the one on
the flats about the same time. In the
last three or four months 25 or 80
persons have settled on the river.
New buildings are going up all over
the valley. Mr.. Iverson and Mr..
Furness have induced number of
their friends from Dakota to settle
on this river in the last year, and
they all seem to be we'll pleased with
the country. They are having house
raisings, log rollings, and clearing
bees, going on the old motto that
"many hands make heavy work
light" Mr.. Price. a new settler on
the river, is expecting a number of
his relatives and friends to come out
here from Iowa in the spring.
While l was in Mr.. Persons store
I met a gentleman by the name of ].
T. Galloway, from Cowlitz county,
near the Columbia river, ia this
Territory. He has been living there
Il number of years, and hearing and
reading great deal about the large
bodies of farming lands on the Sno-
homish, Skagit and Steilaguamish
rivers, he determined to come and
see for himself whether he could
better his condition here. He is so
we'll pleased with this country that
he intends to sell his farm, AMI will
settle here by the first of April with
as many of his friends as he can get
to accompany him. Mr.. Pierson,
the merchant, is enjoying large in
crease in his trade, as result of this
large immigration, Mr.. Mclaughlin
and Mr.. Mcnamara, the hotel keep
ers, are also doing a good business.
Persons desiring farming lands
will do well to give this valley q
visit. The stimulus given to the
settlement of this valley is largely
due to the efforts, industry and per-
severence of the Steilaguamish jam
Company's having taken out, in
about fve months of labor, with the
aid of a freshet, jam extending
about one third of mile in length,
and from the bottom of the river to
from one to fifteen feet above the
surface of the water, without any
aid from the government or Terri
tory as yet. +. L..
