From the Daily Of Friday.
MUNIFICENr. - The Amateur
Oregon Quartette Club, consist
ing of Miss Miller, Mrs. Dement,
and Messrs. Robb and Beckwith
recently made a tour of the
Sound, giving musical entertain
ments for the benefit of religious
organizations. The net receipts
of their performance at Port
Townsend, to be divided between
four Sunday Schools, was just
25 cents, a result not highly
creditable to the musical taste OF
religious sentiment of our port
Of entry.
BROKEN HEAD.-A number o1
sailors from different vessels in
port got into a fight last even
ing, and one Of them got a Sc
we're blow on the head from a
stone in the hands of another.
The wounded man was taken of
covered with blood, to have his
wounds dressed, while his as
sailant made his escape. No ar
rests were made, and we failed
to learn the names of any of the
parties.
IMMIGRANTS COMING. Capt, NJ.
Riddle, DR.. n. N. Chopper and Mr..
A. H. Barrow, Immigrants from
Iowa and Colorado, on their way to
the Columbia and Sound country,
stopped at Boise City to learn the
Indian news. Their company COM
prises train of forty wagons and as
many families. After learning the
situation in the Blue Mountains they
concluded to lie by few days for
more favorable news. There is
plenty room for industrious men on
either side of the Columbia or in the
Sound country.
FALSE REPoRT.-On the authority
of Capt. STAIRS organ the report has
been generally circulated that the
contract for carrying the mail be-
tween Victoria and Townsend had
been awarded to Capt. Starr. The
Colonist of Wednesday last says: No
information has yet been received
from Ottawa by the Fostoffice In
spector here with respect to the
Puget Sound mail. A reply will
probably come on Saturday or Mon
day.
THE Idaho AralancAe says: "There
is sort of freemasonry existing be-
tween the tribes of Nevada, Dakota,
Wyoming. Montana, Washington
Territory, Oregon, Colorado, Idaho.
Arizona and Utah, and, while the
Shoshones and Piutes-except few
roamers-may not take the field
with the Bannocks. they would not
hesitate to aid and comfort the latter
tribe by smuggling to them arms
and ammunition.
The Ogden Freeman says: The
Bannocks dispose of their stolen
stock to white men through the
agency of squaw-men, acting as
middlemen. A squaw-man is as
much worse than an Indian as rat
tlesnake is worse than horned toad
and every one of them that is caught
ought to be shot at once. A white
man who would join Indians in the
murder of his own people is not fit
to live.
HUDSON BAY CoMPANY.-At the
general court of the Hudson Bay
Company, June 25th, the directors
report, which took a rather melan.
choly view of the prospects of the
Corporation, was adopted. A rese-
luton offered by Mr.. Eldridge, that
a dividend of As to the share be de-
clared, was lost. Owing to the dull
ness of the trade no dividend was
declared.
DIVIDEND. "A dividend oi
three dollars on a share has been
declared by the Puget Sound
Telegraph Company for the cur.
rent year. The convenience to
shippers and mill owners has
been vastly more than net profits
shown.
CIVIL SRIT.-A suit for a small
amount of wages claimed to be
due to a truck driver from his
employer, was tried before JUS
tice Scott this morning, and de-
cided in favor of the defendant
MORE MUsIC.-A new banC
was organized at the Centennial
last evening by several of oul
young men. Judging from theil
first attempt, they are destined
t0-9bust.'
BoRN.-In Port Townsend
July 23d, to the wife Of Captain
Mcintyre, son. In Port Dis
covery, July 23d, to the wife o
