ON the steamer Louise to go to work II
the Hadlock mills.

Mr.. Slaeger, one OF W. 4 KS employees
in the Pettygroye addition, near .Ber
Pettygrove's farm house.
Minnie Hauk will give an operate
performance in Seattle on Sept. oath and
18th. An excursion is spoken of from
this place, which will undoubtedly be
well patroniZed.
A match game OF base ball at China
cum yesterday, between the Port Lud'
low club and the Chimecum boys, re-
suited in a score of 10 TO 16, in favor oi
the Port Ludlow club. Rather close.
Without display of headlines the Re
reiHe announces as q fact that an eIten'
sjvs vein of anthracite coal has been
found in that county, the location, eI'
tent, etc, OF which will be shortly made
known.
We were pleased to meet Engineer
Mersilliott Of the Corwin yesterday. Mr.
MarsiIIiott was engineer on the Wolcott
here some years ago, and during his stay
among us made many friends, who are
glad to welcome him back, and only
wish he had come to stay. Mr.. III. has
not changed, but is the same jovial gen
tleman that he was OF yore.
We are sorry to learn that Capt. Moore
and Lieut.. Tuttle of the revenue steamer
Oliver Wolcott, expect to be ordered
away from this station in a short time
as their time has expired. They have
made large number of friends here
who are sorry they must leave, but hope
sincerely that wherever they go, life will
be happy and prosperous.
A sailor on the steamer Macarthur
while engaged in painting the outside OF
that vessel Saturday, lost his footing
and fell overheard. Hecould not swim,
but the guartermaster on board, seeing
him fall, sprang over the stern OF the
vessel with life buoy, and kept the
poor fellow ahoat until assistance was
rendered from the vessel. Both were
saved without injury.
Rev. J. B. Alexander and F. w. james
are clearing off some land back OF De
woes brick yard, in the blight near Point
Wilson, which will prove valuable build
ing property in short time. We are
glad to notice that the slashing in the di'
rection of Point Wilson ls increasing
every day. and soon the whole OF the
hill side to that point will be clear oi
trees and underground. Many build
ings are being erected near the bluffs
and ultimately the property fronting on
the most desirable location for dwelling
houses.
We had the thickest fog this forenoon
that has been seen here for many years
It seemed dense enough to be cut with
knife. The Port Admiral informs us
that one of the fashionable saloon keep
ers has packed several frkins full, which
he intends to serve out to his customers
instead OF the regular Limburger cheese
He thinks slight flavor of salt and ssgt
will make it equal to the best cheese ron
Germany. Jack relates how he bottled
up some fog q number OF years ago in
pickle jars and it seemed to condense
and harden, and he used it all that wiz,
ter to spread on his bread.
U. s. r. steamer Corwin arrived here
Saturday from Alaska, and went to Sc
attic Sunday to coal up. She will go to
Astoria, where she is stationed, leaving
tonight or tomorrow morning. The
Corwin has been cruising among the
western islands of Alaska all summer
and has been doing good service while
there. Four vessels-1 American and Z
British, the latter belonging to Victoria
B. C.-were seized by her for violation
Of the fishing laws. All Of these schoon.
ers we're taken to Sitka, where their cap.
tains and mates were tried, found guilty
and sentenced to Jail for terms ranging
up to two months. The schooners will
probably be coniscated by the United
States government, although an interna-
tional question will probably arise there.
from. Capt. Ogilvie, of one OF the Brit
ish vessels, was missing at Sitks when
the mail came of. As the captain was
an aged man, and lost all be possessed
when his schooner was seized, it is
thought that he wandered off into the
woods back OF that town and perished
while in a state Of mental alteration.
Capt. Abbey and the officers OF the Cor
win are entitled to great credit for the
efficient way in which they have carried
out their instructions during this cruise.
