From Wednesday's DaiIy.

Mr.. David Reid, brother of Rev. Jno.
Reid, has gone to Dungeness to teach
school.
Coupeyille seems to be prospering
finely. Mr.. J. ii. Beavo's new hotel.
The Central, has been opened to the
public.
Most of the Port Townsend ladies
entertained yesterday. and calling was
quite generally induIged in 10y the gen,
tlemen, although the weather was disa
greeable.
The Post-IRteiIigencer's new years
number was literally cFammed wit
statistical and other valuable article
1t Is a good representative paper fo
Puget Sound.
Mr.. Jas. E. Brockway, of Pyscht, re-
turned to that place on the Dispatch
Monday, having spent few days il
town undergoing medical treatment. He
is suffering greatly from neuralgia.
The Seattle Sunday Star opposes Gov.
Newell's re-appointme mt, says he is junk
citing around the country trying to get
petitions circulated for his retention
in office; that his administration has
been conspicuous for the absence OF
any measure for the benefit of the Ter
ritory; that remonstrance against his
re-appointment will be circulated, &c.
The North Pacific did not arrive here
yesterday TIL in the afternoon, having
been detained by large lot of bonded
freight en- route from Canada to British
Columbia. Five car loads of miscellan-
eous goods came through. Officer Price
su perintended its transfer from the cars
to the steamer at Tacoma, and Inspector
Winslow went through to Victoria to
see it safely landed.
Many years ago the writer knew l.. P .
Hansen at Dungeness. He was alter
wards at Snohomish City for long
time; but finally drifted away, and his
old friends lost sight of him. A paper
received at this office today brings in
telligenee that he is in Honolulu. He
has numerous acquaintance on the
Sound who will at least be glad to learn
his whereabouts.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
initial number of the Olympia Critic.
We counted half dozen Typographical
errors in its salutatory, and somewhere
near thirty besides in the reading matter;
but it will doubtless make better show
ing when its editor gets accustomed to
proof reading. The paper is smaller
than the DAILY ARGUS was at first, in fact
just half the present size of our daily,
but it is newsy, and will doubtless prove
that tail aches from little toe corns
grow"
From a gentleman just from the Koot
enai country, we hear of the prosperous
outlook i'll that section The mines are
now mostly in Chinese hands. White
settlers are now, as general thing turn
ing their attention to cattle raising, which
Is success through the unsurpassed ex-
cellency of the bunch grass grazing lands
in this vicinity. Bunch grass beef is hard
to beat, if indeed it is rare excelIed. But
kootenai has also much farming and
timber land, and soon through its val
ley, no doubt,a feeder from the Canadian
Pacific will enable the people to reach
easy and profitable markets. Our in-
formant, also brings some splendid gold
specimens, as presents from their son-in-
law and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Mather of Koot-
enai, to Capt.and Mrs.Delgardno,o of this
city. Mr.. Mather, we remember as a
thriving young merchant of Kootenai,
who, some two years since, married our
fair young friend Miss Delgardno, and
since then has been living and doing
well in Kooteani. The gold specimens
are very rich, and still show slight
quartz attachment.
The tramp nuisance is likely to be-
come serious one, as predicted in these
columns not long since. Prosperity
brings them along with sneak thieves
and other undesirable gentry. Not long
since night caller effected an entra nee
to Mr.. Kirkpatrick's residence, but was
scared away, as was also a midnight
marauder at the California Hotel. Then
we had the 70 bbery at Mr.. Dodd's house
in the edge of town; and these do not
comprise all the depredations. One lady
in town was visited by a sewing machine
agent" who was determined to enter
the house-probably to look around and
post himself. His makeup was about as
hideous as s scare crow, and after talking
