more, availed himself Of the right allowed
by law, and filed an affidavit in the Pro
bate Court to that effect, and the order to
resell was accordingly made 1t was nc

PORT Townsend has recent and valu-

and Oakland. He brings extensive expe-
rience and qualifications second to none
in his lire. Last Wednesday evening he
started O class in vocal music, at the Meth
odist church. The price is certainly very
reasonable, S. for twenty lessons, and our
citizens could not invest money more
proiitably or pleasantly than to avail
themselves OF this opportunity. Read the
Professors notice, elsewhere.
