UNION MEETINGs.-Th meetings
for religious purposes held yester>
day at the Presbyterian church were
we'll attended Notwithstanding the
severe rain storm which prevailed.
The meeting last night was led as
usual by Chaplain Stubbs. Rev.
Mr.. Worth opened with prayer.
Rev. D. Bagley occupied fifteen
minutes with an instructive expla-
nation of Acts xvi-25-32. Rev. J.
F. Ellis followed with further COM
ments and an urgent appeal to all to
seek Christ. Several others gave
testimony to their personal expert
ence of saving grace. Deep thought
sulness and solemnity seemed charac-
teristic of all the services. A Bible
reading service is held each day at
3 o'clock P. NJ, and the union meet
ing at night all at the Presbyterian
church.
THE DoG.-The mystery of the
dog and boat found floating on the
bay is explained. A little sloop is
at anchor in the bay, and the owners
keep little curly dog. On Satur-
day last they came ashore leaving
the dog on board. The little fellow
did not like to be left, and sat about
contriving a plan to getashore. He
discovered little skif fastened to
the sloop by rope, and a bright
idea struck him. He at once sat
about gnawing the rope off with his
teath, and soon the skiff was adrift.
He now took up his position in the
bow and awaited for the skiff to drift
ashore, but the wind was blowing
from shore, and he would have drift
ed out into the Sound but for o man
who rewed out and brought the boat
and dog to shore.
YIN. C. Alt the monthly meet
ing Of the Young Mems Christian
Association last evening. the resig-
nation Of Mr.. Webster. vice-presi-
dent, from the Baptist church, was
received, and Mr.. Cleo. w. Ward
was elected to fill the vacancy
Thomas Lyle was elected vlce-presi-
don't from the Presbyterian church.
Prof. Anderson was elected mem
Der of the Committee on Benevo-
lence, Employment, etc. Various
plans were discussed for advancing
the interests of the association. One
new member was elected, and two
names proposed for membership.
STORM. There was a heavy wind
last night for time, and the waves
on the Sound ran high. The only
damage we have learned of was the
beaching of the bark Mary Glover,
opposite John Nations machine
shop, and the breaking in Of Mar
shall & Knipe's wharf, by which
about three tons of baled hay was
pitched into the water. The bark
has sustained no injury we believe.
II will cost from $500 to $500 to re-
pair the damage to the wharf.
Fish are peddled in portable tanks
in Japan, the law requiring them to

From the Daily of Monday.
MARROW EsCAPE.--On Tuesday,
the 22d inst, says the Transcript,
Hon. G. A. Reed, of Hwaco, Pacific
county, while driving the mail wag-
on along the ocean beach to Oyster
vile. was wrecked by the breakers
turning the wagon over and leaving
its contents to the mercy of the sea.
He was washed insensible on the
rocks, when Mrs. j. l.. Stout and
some children came to his rescue,
and saved the horses. mails. part of
the wagon, and freight. The tide
was unusually high, with a heavy
swell, which struck Mr.. Reed as he
was passing o point of rocks. Mr..
Reed was o member of the last leg
islature, and made many friends
while here. Mrs. Stout deserves
great credit for her brave conduct,
for without the resoluteness which
enabled her to daringly take the
step she did. all would have been
lost.
The people of Olympia are very
indignant at being left out in the
new mail contracts. The Transcript
says: " Managers of the Northern
Pacific. postal agents, and represent
atives of steamer lines, have made
misrepresentation to this effect, and
succeeded in getting it left out of the
list of contracts. They represented
that it should only be messenger
route; that the business did not JUS
tify anything further" The people
propose to petition for q special
mail service, to be performed by the
swift steamer Messenger.
LAST Saturday boat was observ-
ed adrift in tho bay opposite the
store of s. Baxter & Co., with a lits
tie dog seated in the bow. There was
no person in the boat. Observing
the canine voyager, manput out
from shore in skiff and securing
the drifting boat, took it to the shore
Arriving at land the dog jumped out
and ran away. There is no explana-
ton Of how the dog and boat got
adrift, or whether man was lost
overheard.
CLANS. smelts, and other delica-
cies are being shipped from Olympia
to San Francisco.
