contract on "Wall street.
The Yaruna brought a barge load of

evening.
The excursionists by the 3Iary Bell
on the 10th report having had a fine time.
The Orator from Deep river accompained
them, returning with more baggage than
when he left, but short on parchment ac
count. A. J. Adams of Nehnlcm valley has
placed upon our table five goose berries
the aggregate measurement of which is
1756 inches. They grew on a bush only
about a foot high, which he has been cul
tivating for four years.
G. "W. Hume, closed the business of
Salmon packing for the season of 1873 last
week, and left for San Francisco by the
John L. Stephens on Saturday, to attend
to affairs in California. He has packed
30,000 cases and about 400 barrels this
season.

yesterd:i3 The deer was killed about
Tongue Point evening befoe last, Ty a
party of gentleman coming down the river
m a small boat from the Prairie. Mr.

were the success&l shootists. The deer
weighed one hundft'd pounds when dressed.
Bishop Morris officiated at Grace
church in this city Sunday forenoon and
evening. He will not proceed to Shoal

The steamer John L. Stephens took
away from Astoria last Saturday 377S

rels and 72 quarter barrels of Salmon.
Sho also had on board 700 cases from
Portland the whole amounting to the
value of 34,500. As this is mostly to en
ter into the export trade of California, the.
Oregon account will fall short that much
more. It would seem as essential for ships
to call for our Salmon as for our wheat
and flour.
There is a dispute between two of the

Issued, and an arbitrator appointed to de
cide the momentous question as to wheth

visitors to Niagara from Oregon.

valued a 10,340 was taken at Astoria.
The Confidence is a ship of 794 tons meas
urement, hails from New York, and is
owned by three maiden ladies of mature

profitable voyage.

Mr. John Hunter of the Bay View
house was in tho city on Saturday. He in
forms us that arrangements are to bo
made soon for building a wharf at Unity.
This will be a very desirable improvement
as the trade of that region amounts to con
siderable, and a wharf is almost absolutely
a necessity.
"We understand that Ben Holladay
has decided to extend his Astoria wharf
improvements to about double the present
capacity the wharf is now 325 feet front.
(Uapt. George Plavel is building 350 feet
front this season, and the farmers' ware
house will be 510 feet front. The more
wharves there are the better. At this
time thero is a demand for more, and
business is increasing to such extent that
the wharves cannot be completed any too
soon.
Apirty of old-timers met together at

Heroic Act. A few days since Col.

stock hogs across to his farm on Youngs
bay for safe keeping. Soon after arriving

tacked b3r bears, and Mrs. Munson,wife
of the man living on'the farm, hearing the
noise, aud sqealing ot the hogs, ran out of
th house to see what was the matter, when
she beheld bruin hugging a good sized pig
tightly in his fore paws, the pig squealing
for dearlife." No time was to be lost, ana
as Mrs. M. concluded not to .stand by and
see the porker carried oft in that manner,
she picked up. a dub and started after the

stated that this application has been"

to regain his general health. He
may endure this radical treatment
with safety.

The Oregonian mixed its geography
badly in an item last Saturday relating to .
supplies ior the light-houses being distri
buted by the Shubrick. "We presume it
meant to state that on account of tho
rough arid dangerous character of the
coast, the steamer did not deem it prudent
to touch at Cape Powlweather, and ac-
cordingly continued her course on to A.-
toria, but it rung Cape Disappointment in
there, and then continued, saying: 4 Arriv
ing thero at Astoria, it was determined
to com on to Portjand. As the steamer
could not land nt Capo Disappointment, it
was thought best to land tho supplies
which j;r8 intended forhat lighthouse,
at tbi$ city, and then ship them overland .
to their dtiaation. TJnd-r the circmri
