 of New Preston went to New York the other day, and when he got back he said tho New Preston depot wasn't half as nice as the Grand Central. He can modify the contrast by hiring all the villainous looking bummers in town to stand in 8 row on the platform and shout Hack l" 'Carriagelady |" etc. Johnson of the Hillsdale Herald wants all passenger cars equipped with a fire extin. guisher and an ice saw for use in case of ac. cident. Why, of course. Every car ought to have fire engine, hose cart, hook and lad der truck, squad of fremen, orchestra, prompter, ball room, parading ground, lager beer stand and somebody to make speech. A Hillsdale man thought he heard a burglar In his house the other night, and got up, prowled around with big pistol, shiver. ing in his fright and shirt-tail, for half an hour, before he saw the burglar" skip across the floor and run into rat.hole with a piece of cheese 1t had stolen. The man went back to bed, and talked himself to sleep in italics.
 The vultures of the law have begun their ghastly work again.

 A "citizen" in the Winsted Herald, says that City Hall is "death trap" as the "doors open inward" and he says that his life is "too valuable to be squeezed out of me in any unnecessary jam which will come here in Winsted some day" We could tell Mr Citizen how he might be just as eecure from being squeezed to death in Music Hall, as wicked Pinney is from being killed by the falling of 8 church.
 Says the New Milford Gazette: Fl. N, the famous Goshen correspondent, has made a remarkable discovery. He has observed "that when December 4th comes on Sunday 1t is followed by Christmas and New Years on Sunday" One of these days he will discover that when Sunday comes on Sunday the fol lowing Sunday also comes on Sunday and that it is generally colder ln cold weather than it is in warm weather.

FourrH or JuIr.-Is is time Seattle

FoUKrH or JrLY.-It il time Seattle
people commence thinking Of . celsbra-
ton on the coming Fourth. II our cisi-
zens will make q move, % that the peo-
pie of the Sound can feel assured that
the celebration will be at Seattle, they
will all gladly join Us. Last year our
tovnspeOple let the time pass without
making any effort. and the result was
that the city Was almost deserted on
that day, while Olympia and other
places we're packed With strangers from
abroad. We possess superior natural
advantages to any place on the Sound
for such celebration, and thousands
of people from all directions would en-
10Y spending the Fourth with Us. A
thousand or fifteen hundred dollars
can be raised with little or no Difficult
ty. and that amount properly expended
will be sufficient to carry out an inter
esting and entertaining programme.
BY way of sports We could have base
ball match, regatta on the bay. horse
races, foot races, and various other
sports, besides the usual Grafton and
patriotic exercises. We would suggest
that on some evening, not far in the
future, a public meeting be called and
the matter put in proper shape. Very
true, the Fourth Is two months of: but
the old proverb that 1.-The early bird
catches the worm, il extremely appli-
cable in this case. If We do not move
| IN the matter, and soon, too, some other
place on the Sound will take the lead
and Seattle will get left the same as she
did one year ago.

KALAMA.-Contrary to the general i'm
preston, Kalama is by no means de-
serted village. At least fifteen families
live there, and every dwelling house
worth occupying Is occupied. The busi-
hess Of the town is limited, and there is
but little hopes of increase for many
years to come. The location there of
the county seat makes kalama the home
of number OF officials. 1t Is also
helped consider by by the location
there of number Of important United
States and Territorial Courts. Further.
there being the end of the railroad from
the Sound and the point of connection
with the steamers of the Columbia river.
vast amount Of freight is to be handled
two or three TINES, amounting to two
or three thousand tons month, and
necessitating number of men in ad-
dition to these on the boats and trains.
There is also 5oOd hotel there, and
store, besides Methodist, Catholic and
Episcopal churches, a doctor, a tele-
graph office, ticket Office, &c. The
smallest vote yet cast in the place was
eighty. Though Kalama may not be
the most lively town and desirable place
of resi- .ence. still it is better than some
others on the Columbia, has better
country back of it, and is not quite 80
bad of as generally represented.

The New HosPITAL.-Wew we're shown
the plans yesterday for the new Catholic
Hospital 10 be built in this city this
summer. They are. as said before, of q
massive building, fronting ~ feet on
Fifth street aud 1CJ feet on Spring,
standing three full stories above the Gel
lar. The first floor will have hight Of
l3 feet, the second Of II, the third of
~. A tower will surmOunt tho building,
from the tOpmost point Of which to the
ground will DO 20 feet. Though of
plain finish, tho building will be far
from unattraotivs, while it will be con
spicuous to degree not oven excelled
by the University. 1t will be surnount-
ed with Mansard roof, and will have
a sort Of bay window projection OK
tending from the high stOop of the low
or floor to the towar on the roof. Bal
comics will extend along the Spring
street side of the building on each floor.
There will also be q conservatory. The
foundation will be of stone anu brick,
the best possible manner. Metallic fire
proof paint will b used. and tho roof
will be double coated. Three hundred
SOttloI vOutllbtOkb Will D0 iutIOOuCoI,
Leading to four electors. 1t will be the
first building on Puget Sound supplied
with . steam elevator, and in addition.
for convenience and safety, will have
two inside and two outside stairoAses.
The engine will be used in pumping wa
tor from an immense tank in the back
yard, and in various other ways. A
dumb waiter will extend from the cellar
up. The fifty private rooms will front
on the bay, and will be made very pleaa
ant. The largest ward will DO Of 10 by
62 feet. Tho Railways, chapel, rooms
for the Sisters, DO, will be on u scale
corresponding with other parts of the
Hospital. MIR. Mackay il the architect,
and Wright Brothers tho contractors.
The work Of excavation will begin to-
day, and the whole work il to be finish
cd by September LIST. When done the
present hospital building will DO remov-
cd. The cost Of the new hospital and
its partial furnishing is estimated at
$2,OCo, and 1t will be very cheap at
that. When done 1t will consist of only
two-thirds the building finally contem-
plated. for it il intended to build an
other wing, on Madison street, Of equal
length to that on spring, or 1UO feet,
when the building will front l20 feet on
Fifth street, with the two sidewings.bs
fore referred to. Judging by the past.
It is thought the second wing will bs
needed four years hence, or in 1855.
