In January, 1877, an eight-page
Unitarian paper. WAS begun by Rev.
ID. y. Utter. 1t lived a little over
two years, and until it's protector
contemplated change of field in
his PASTORAL WORK.
This probably embraces all the
data and corrections necessary
IN completing the history of the
Olympia press; but there are several
omissions in referring to other jour-
nails, which we briefly note. In
| 1856, the first Puget Sound Courier
was published at Steilacoom, by
Messrs. Affleck Il Gum. 1t sus-
pended in consequence of the Indian
troubles. Frank S. Balch afterwards
{ 1851 published the Republican from
the same types, which subsequently
passed to Charles Prosch, who pub
hsLed for several years the Puget
Sound Herald. In 1869, j. L. Alli-
son begun the Western Star at Steil-
accom-, but it was short-lived, and
subsequently julius Dickens pub
lisbed the Express, real meritorious
weekly and made living out of it.
II suspended when it's editor died.
and was revived in December, 1879,
by Mr.. S. L. Maxwell, but proved a
failure after few months trial.
1t seems somewhat strange that
Mr.. Hanford should have omitted
any reference in his article to the
brightest little journal in the north
west-the SnChomish Eye. It will
fash with fire at being thus cleft
out in the cold"
In closing, the suggestion is made
that the craft at once transmit to
the Herald such facts as may neces-
sary to perfect the article, and that
q republication be made soon as it
can be done with an assurance of
approximate accuracy.

That "straws shows which way
the wind blows" is apparent in all
the concerns of life. The action OF
the lower branch of Congress, on
tho Goth instant, on the bill to
amend the Chinese Restriction Act,
is an illustration of its truth. o.
that day. unanimous consent was
asked for the introduction of this
bill, whereupon Mr.. Weller, of Iowa,

Calamity Weller" because he
wanted to pay the rational debt in
gresnbacks. sprang up and shouted

postulation, Calamity withdrew his
objection, when Skinner of New

his protest. the only effect of which
will be to delay action of Congress on
that measure. This position Of the
