rived here yesterday from the Sandwich

and flying jib during the passage. She
triumphantiy brought her masts into
port, however. The schooner Courser

PoRT ASGELEs.-A gentleman Just
up from Port Angeles, informs us that the
prospects of that point are looming up
somewhat. Every steamer takes people
there looking for land; much is being
taken, and commercial development will
on the erection of saw mill there, and
have been offered land on an excellent
location upon satisfactory guarantee to
proceed with such an establishment
Port Angeles is where Capt. Moore, of
the U. S. r. NJ. steamer Wolcott, says he
saw the largest turDip he ever saw
in his life; also, where he saw potato
weighing six pounds. We are glad
to hear such favorable reports from
Angeles. With its magnificent barbor and
unxcelled natural advantages, it should
have had large town years ago. !
