We heartily commend to "ye editor"

A case of assault was tried before

Prof. Brown of Coupeyille reports
that it looks very hopeful for the recov-
cry OF Mr.. Race, who was accidentally
shot some time ago. He states that the
friends OF Mr. Race have placed him
under the treatment OF au Iudiun doc
tor, whose only way of treatment consists
in watching day and night TO keep the
wound clear from accumulation of mat
ter and decomposed tissue by suction,
and thus prevent blood poisoning.
The most singular iucompetency for
office is being developed by Sheriff Wilt
of Tacoma. Martin Is unpursuei- No
body knows nor cares where he is He
Is at liberty to escape if he wants to and
if he is rstaken and hung, he will have
to present himself at the sheriff's office
and beg for that honor. Wilt may not
be an aceomplice in his escape but be
forgot to notify anybody of the fact un-
til Martin had abundance of time to
have reached Victoria or Portland.
Wilt should resign now OF else take
Martins place.
The delay of the steamer Libby in
getting off yesterday Gn her trip TO
Whatcom and Island ports was caused
by Captain Davis being unable to Sc
cure properly licensed mate. The
mate OF the previous trip, it is reported,

Dor on the return passage of the steamer
to this port. Late in the evening Capt.
Davis secured the services of Capt l..
B. Hastings to act as master for this trip.
Capt. Davis assuming the position of
mate himself. The steamer finally get
off about nine O'clock.
I uring the heavy gale day or two
ago the sea was rough and somewhat
lumpy. The steamer Edna, leaving here
at ? p. ~, for Port Discovery, encount-
cred the toughest OF it. After she had
rounded Point Hudson one sea struck
her that washed clear over her. The
water struck her deck hand, and as he
was not prepared for it it washed MIN
overheard. Fortunately passenger
seeing the accident seized a heaving
line and threw it to the man. He grab
bed it and was towed quite distance
until the steamer was stopped. When
drawn aboard he was unhurt but so be-
numed that he retained death gr on
| the heayingline for near half an hour.
Our neighbor the Call frankly cor
fessed that it condemns the course of
Postmaster Mcnamara for empl oying
Learned as clerk. Nobody denies that
he is capable and pains-takiRg and most
people believe fully that the office is now
in much better condition than at any
previons time since the change of Post
masters was made Mr. McNamara may
