4 The season is getting TOO far ad-
varced 10 look for good weather,
even though the wind is ia the North.
TBs new mill al Port Gamble is

credit in his efforts 70 demonstrate

ONE of The most philosophical COM
ments we have heard relative 70 the

change ON tbe ground that the
same items will be read with 40 in
creased zest and fleshness in the
morning after The people have been
satiated with their mail matter the
evening before. There is cogency
and aptness in bis reasoning which
carries candid conviction with it,
when all circumstances are taken
iuto account. Then hulrah, for our
morning paper!
