NooKsAcK MILLS. The people of
Ferndale, or that section of the
Nooksack river known as Clark's
Crossing, are quite jubilant over the
immediate prospect of the establish
ment of saw and grist mill at that
place by West & Pitchford,
recently in the employ of the B. B.
G. Co. at Sehome. We are inform
ed that all necessary inducements
have been offered these men to pro-
ceed at once with the enterprise,
which they intend doing on return
ing from San Francisco in a few
weeks with the machinery. etc.
Hence the settlers along the river
are more than usually active in Or
der to prepare for and prove worthy
of these facilities. Heretofore they
have been raising potatoes to buy
-four with, whereas, henceforth they
will be enabled to raise wheat and
take it direct to the mill. As this
enterprise assumes more definite
shape we will note progress.-B. 3.

WRECKED. The schooner Favor
ite, Capt. Mckay, arrived at Victoria
on Thursday night last from the
West Coast, where she had been on
trading voyage. He reports that
on the Doth of February last the
hull of the schooner Pacific, OF San
Francisco, dritted on shore between
Tachu point and Kiyonuat Sound.
All the spars, rudder, bulwarks.
and every thing were swept from
the deck. She was lumber laden,
and is supposed to have been on her
way to San Francisco. A search
was made by Capt. Mckay along
the beach for the bodies of the
crew, but he could find no traces
whatever of any of them having
landed. He is of the opinion that
they were taken off the wreck by
come vessel passing along at the
time. He reports very heavy gales
along the coast for the last two
months.
Acc1DENTLY SHoT.-A small boy
named Percy Wood, of Portland,
Ogn., who was the happy owner of
a small sized cartridge pistol, dis
tinguishel himself and very nearly
sxtinguished Mr.. George Epperly,
q young man of about 19 years Of
age on Monday afternoon last.
While the boy was playing with the
pistol he accidentally discharged it,
the ball striking Mr.. Epperly in
the corner of his right eye, entering
his head, inflicting severe but net
dangerous wound.
LAws.-We have received from
Hon. N. a. Owings, Secretary OF
the Territory, pamphlet copy Of
the laws enacted by the Legislative
Assembly in the year 1877, printed
by G. B. Bagley Of Olympia. The
laws are very neatly printed. but
the paper used is of the most infer
ior variety, and this detracts much
from the appearance of the pamph-
let geographically.
New LAUNcH.--Work is progress.
ing fact on the new steam launch TO,
the Government coast survey, on
the wharf in the rear of the N. P.
Brewery. The work is now nearly
ali together. The launch will be
33 feet in length, Z feet beam, 3l
depth of hold.
OvERBoARD.-One of the sailors
of the bark Montana fell overheard
through hole in the wharf last
evening, while on his way down to
the vessel. He hung on to a pile
until line was got to him, when
he was hauled out with no particu-
lar damage done.
The schooner Reporter arrived
here from San Francisco. She
brings 80 tons Of freight for Seattle
