sic. &c. Not dceming it necessary, how
ever, to get posters printed or notice. ill.,
serted in the local paper, hr simply wrote
ont few notices and posted them. The

on our bay. Ii is 10 be called Harrisburg
and l. npon land owned, or at least reure-
Sented by ). i. Judson, of Olympia A
broad avenue is 10 be cleared from the
iron furnace tn the main street OF the pro
posed town, and the sale OF lots Will soon
commence. We are not advised Us 10 the
price of these lots, but that will perhaps
be- regulated by the demand tor them.
Now that Governor Newell is putting
IN So much time lecturing to the people of
the territory, and that his lectures are so
well received, We suggest that the literary
soriety of this place send him an invita-
lion In come here. Port Townsend ueo-
pie would like 10 see the Governor. get
acquainted with him and hear him talk.
Why not invite him to come? His ex-
peiIses could easily be met.

Don. =. Parrish has succeeded in obtain-
lug lucrative position in the employ of
the D. X. s. n. Co., east OF the mountains

assume Its duties. Don is worthy young
man, and we wish him such success as he
is entitled TO.
MIsHAP.-The iron industry at this
place received a temporary set back this
week by the melting Of fire brick OH the
inside of the furnace. We learn that new
fire brick will be obtained and The inside
OF the furnace rebuilt Tor some distance
from the base, though the stoppage will
be but temporary.
