first of July next. when the schools
will close. The attendance has been
good this term, and teachers and
pupils are doing their best to make

placed in each of the school build
ings, which will aid the teachers
greatly in giving instructions in

CHANGE IN THE OCCIDENTAL.-As
will be seen, by reference to the
card of tho Occidental published
elsewhere. the Occidental Hotel has
changed hands. Mr.. Fox retiring

soon bring the hotel to its former
status, as during the administration
of John Collins there were few su-
perior hotels this side of San Fran
cisco and none in this territory.

the Portland papers that Mr.. E. b.

receive and sell on commission every
article salable. Mr.. Bean during
his residence here has shown him
self to be reliable business man,

The CELEBRATION.- second
meeting Of our citizens was held at
Yesler's Hall, Saturday evening, for
the purpose of receiving the report
of the canvassing committee, and to
transact other business connected
with the contemplated celebration.
The committee reported the sub
scription of S507 towards defraying
the expenses of a celebration, and
stated that they met with every en-
couragement. A committee of
twelve was then appointed on ar
rangements, consisting of the fol
lowing named gentlemen: Bailey

DR.. Sparling, G.. W. Hall, W. A..
Jennings, A. Slorah, J. Levy, J. S.

this it will be seen that the celebra-
ton has become fixed fact, and we
are satisfied that the gentlemen so
iudiciously selected to arrange the
programme will make it success.
STEAMER NELLIE.-We regret to
state that the steamer Nellie is about
to be removed from the waters of
the Sound and placed on the Stick
cen river, an arrangement to that
effect having been made this morn
ing. A gentleman named Colbraith,
from British Columbia. has pur-
chased an interest in the steamer
Captains Stretch and Low still re-
tain their interests in the steame,
and will proceed with her to he,
new route on Friday next. The
Nellie was built at this place, and
for twoseasons has run between here
and Snohomish. She is a stauncl
boat and one of the most pOpu
lar that ever run upon the Sound
Her officers will carry with then
the good wishes of the citizens here
and the travelling public generally
