LEAVING Us.-Miss Eva Chapman,

LEAVING Us.--Miss Eva Chapman,
who, during the past two years, has taken
an important part in the schools Of our
city. and who, for considerable time sue
cessfully discharged the duties OF princi-
pal therein, LETT on Monday for Seattle.
She will shortly take passage for San
Francisco, en- route for her home in New
ton, Iowa. Miss Chapman is a niece of
Hon. j. r. Lewis. She came to this Ter
ritory for her health. During her brief
stay here she has made many warm friends
who will exceedingly regret to lose so es-
timable and worthy person from their
midst. Her labors on Puget Sound prove
her to have been an active and useful
member Of society, as well as a pleasant
and agreeable person. We hope that her
life may be cast in pleasant places.
AS will be seen by a card elsewhere, Mr..
A. X. Huffman has retired from the posi-
ton OF Principal Of Port Townsend's pub
lic schools. While we regret to lose so
able and estimable teacher, we cannot
but express the hope that some other en-
ployment may be more conducive to the
physical well being Of the gentleman nam
ed. Mr.. Huffman, during the extended
period OF his management OF our school in-
telests, has manifested great zeal In the
training OF the children under his charge.
As Il public instructor he has few equals
on the coast. and the parent aud public
genela'ly Of this place will lose much by
his resignation.

four or five days. his death was rather un.
expected. Last evening Coroner Carrick
was notified of the case, and this morning
went out to investigate it. After a full in.
vestigatiop he came to the conclusion that
there was no need for an inquest in the case.
From the records of the Asylum it ap-
pears that the deceased was admitted No
vember 25th, 1869. The supposed cause
was all injury to the head. resulting in de-
mentia. He had suffered from this trouble
for five months before admitted to the Asy-
lum. The deceased was born in Germany.
