REsIGNED-We learn that Mr.. D. NJ.
Littlefeld, head keeper of the Point
Wilson light house, has sent in his res
ignation, and that he will move his fami-
ly to the Hastings farm. No wonder
competent men resign their positions in
the light house service when salaries are
cut down so low and labor increased by
decreasing the force. The head keepers
of our light houses get but $500 per
annum, ont of which they must support
their families, and their duties are more
onerous and exacting than those Of sit
uatiOns IL private employ where nothing
less than $l2GU a year is paid. We have
no idea who viii lie Mr. LittlcfelJ' 5 sue
cessOr- probably Mr.. Jeakins the assist
ant.

procured for Bishop by his friends, with
the words "Chimacum PIow Boy" in
scribed on it, and most all the SnUhomish
people wanted to bet On the pillow
boy"
