AFTER nine weary months of to-
dious travelling across the plains
from the grasshopper regions of
Kansas, Messrs. Jones and Bennett,
have arrived with their families in
this place, and are now camping out
in the small timber near the p. D.
Moore place. They are quite des-
titute and in need of. immediate as
sistance, but are willing to work for
all they get. While we are so anx-
ious for settlers to come into our
midst, it certainly becomes us to
lend helping hand to strangers in
strange land.

Gently built at Seattle by Captain
Smith and Mr.. j. J. Moss, her pres
en-: owners, for the Skagit trade.
She is 76 feet long, has Is feet
breadth of beam, and 5 feet depth
of hold. She made her trial trip
last week and proved herself more
than equal to all that was expected
of her. We were politely shown
about her decks and cabins, to-day,
by Messrs. Smith and Moss, and we
have no hesitation in pronouncing
her valuable addition to the al.
ready brilliant feet of Sound steam
ers.

IT is usual in most cities for the
water companies to inform their
patrons, by advertising, whenever
the water supply is going to be shut
off for repairs or other causes; we
will announce, for the benefit of our
subscribers, however, at our own
expense, that the hydrants in town,
will not respond to the turn of the
faucets tomorrow, on account of re.
pairs going on at headquarters.
Among other Improvements, a new
and improved pump is to take the
place of the old one.

In a recent issue, we spoke of the
miasmatic principles arising from
the dead leaves that litter our side.
walks, and advised their speedy re-
moval. In only enc or two instan-
ces have our suggestions been fol-
lowed. And now, as if to sustain
our theory, we hear chat physicians
in other places are advising the side
walks and door yards to be cleared
of dead leaves, solely on account of
their disease-producing effect.

Allen. This library comprises be-

the author of an extended work on
the game of chess: a work, the col

painted the eye of one Of the oil-can

In certain locality in the State
of Indiana, there are said to be
more divorces than marriages in a
given time. Like the boy who
thought chickens came from eggs,
when his father told him the reverse
was true, Jones says he don't see
how this can be; he thought divor-
ces came from marriages.

Owing to a rather. unfortunate con-
catenation of circumstances, the
Thespian Society did not meet with u
fattefing reception last night. The
organ that was promised them
having been sold from the store dur
ing the day, and several musicians
who had been engaged to assist them
failed entirely to put in an appear
ance. thus leaving the members al
most single-handed, and without the
possibility representing the musical
part of their programme. They are
not discouraged, however, but will
undertake another entertainment be-
fore many days, it is hoped, with
that success they deserve.

IT somehow follows that, during
those years of great activity among
[European emigrants. we have flush
Hines on this side Of the Atlantic.
Daring the month of September
last. there arrived at Castle Garden,
1,6Os emigrsnts. OF these, 2.4O6
were from Germany, 1851 from
Ireland, l, IFS from Russia, 277 from
Italy, oil from Scotland, 162 from
Switzerland, 13s Bohemia, ll2 from
Wales, and 23I from various other
points. The arrivals during the
nine consecutive month from the
first of January, of the present year,
70 the first of October, foot up to
62, 9S5, or about $4,000 more than
during corresponding period last
year. just how many Of these en-
igrants will find their way to our
Territory, time only will determine,
but We have room for the whole of
them. A few thousand hardy set
tiers would do more towards a" open
ing up" our rich bottom lands than a
hundred railroads could do.

Nh. II. W. Ryerson. for ten years
the well known book-keeper of the
Williams hardware store. took his
departure, by this mornings train
for his home in the far East. Mr..
Ryerson knew everybody and every
body knew him. As genial,
warm hearted gentleman, and a
thorough business man, his name
has become a household word in
town and country, and it will be a
long time before his place at the
desk and counter is filed by new
incumbent. Mr.. Ryerson, was q
brother of Mrs. G. E. Williams,
whose husband founded the bust
ness now carried on by his brother
Samuel Williams. Olympia will never
outgrow the impress given it by
those two brother-in-laws, Charles
Williams and r. w. Ryerson. Mr..
Ryerson has repeatedly occupied
important posts of honor, having
been, for term of years, our Town
Treasurer. May prosperity attend
him wherever he goes.

WHILE many of our people are de-
ploring the existence of the So-called
hard times, much profit and agreat-
deal Of consolation might be derived
from careful comparison Of signif-
cant facts. In 1854, probably the
darkest year Of the late war, green
back dollar would buy only two yards
of calico; now it will buy sixteen. 1t
took the common laborer, at that
time, ten days to earn barrel of
flour; now, he can pay for it by
working three days. In those days,
the same money that it required to
pay for three yards of brown muslin
will now pay for twelve yards. In
1864, it was necessary for q man to
work sixteen days to pay for a ton of
coal; now he con pay for two tons
by working five days. These facts
apply with more force to the people
on this coast; but, taken in all their
bearings, they show conclusively
that there is far more solicitude clus-
tering around the mere idea of hard
times than cause of alarm in the fact
itself.
