AN exciting rrmaway occurred here yes
teriay. The fine team, belonging to Co.
Chambers of Fort Townsend. and hitcled
to his stylish buggy, took fright and start
ell from tie front OF the blacksmith shop.
They ran down Water street to Quincy,
where they turned the corner, striking a
wOOdpile, throwing themselves. damag-
ing the vehicle somewhat, and detaching
themselves. From here they ran up
Quincy to the foot of the grade and turned
down toward the swamp where they ran
into the mire and were recaptureh. No
serious harm done.
JUST received at IIolcOmbe's, per Idaho,
MR.. F. w. James, the present owner
OF the old court house building, having
moved it to an eligible location between
tine ARGUS office and the blacksmith shop,
will have it thoroughly reftted and re-
paired. Mr.. Wm. McCurdy has con-
tract for doing the work, and will put the
building i'll first class condition, when it
will PROBABLY be used to reht for dwell
ing house, The job, we learn, will cost
about $I00. The frame of the building is
staunch and sound, and will present fine
appearance when flushed.
MORE improvements have been made
this year in Port Townsend than during
any one year for long time. Houses
are being re-shingled, weather-hoarded
and otherwise improved, and worn PLACES

placed by new material. Paint is being
freely used i'll many places. giving the
town an appearance of freshness which
speaks well TO strangers.
THEY are having quite time in New
Tacoma. Dayton and Walla Walla with a
are quarrcling as to its nature. Some
call it smallpox, and others chickenpoX
In all three places it has proved conta-
gious and fatal. The number of cases has
justly given the people cause for great
alarm, and every measure is being used
to confine and stamp out the malady.
THE Custom House at this place is soon
to have large, new safe-the identical
style and pattern OF the one recently inl-
ported by Messrs. N. ID. Hill s. Son,
only trifle smaller. Collector Bash has
exerted himself to have needed improve
ments. Among other things he will soon
have new writing desk and book case
for the better preservation of valuable pa
pers.

peIs, and deserves something OF consider
