Claude Hanthom i3 reported ill of typhoid fever, at his parents resi dence. No. 21, held by Mrs. Dr. Alfred Kinney, drew the handsome silver sot at JCarnahan & Co.'s, valued at S20, yesterday. Up river fruit growers report all cherries and apricots killed, and or peaches not more than ttvn-ihirds of the crop is expected. Sometimes March comes in like a lion; sometimes like a lamb: this time it came in after the fashion of a wet dog and shook itself. The members of the central com mittee of the "State Prohibition Amendment League1 have been called to meet in Portland next Thursday at 10 a. m. Let it not be forgotten that one little appropriation got through iu the closing hours of the -19th con gress. It was $500 for the repair of the Columbia river cable. The building and loan association will meet at the county court room at 7:30 this evening to make final in corporation, elect directors, etc. About 1,230 Bhares have been taken, representing assets aggregating S21G, 000 in value. Telephonic communication was had yesterday between this city and Port Stevens, not very diftinct, but suffi cient to prove the feasibility of the scheme. Viewed in connection with the bar and marine service, the ability to hold instant speech with the fort is of rcat value. The Richard Rush sailed from San Franoisoo for here last Tuesday, to tow the Corwin to that city for re pairs. Hero is $10,000 that would have been expended in Astoria had we the proper appliances. "We have everything, except a dry dock, and have the location for that. At the recent graduation at the Monmouth state normal school, J. A. Buchanan achioved the honor of at taining the highest averago percent age that has ever been reached by any one since tho organization of the school. His many Astoria friends will be pleased to hear of his distinguished success. A San Francisco dispatch says: "George Boole and others are having built at the Sixth street shipyards a steamer 125 feet in length, 33 feet beam and 10 feet hold. She will have a carrying capacity of 350,000 feet of lumber and will be engaged in trade between this city and the Columbia river. She will cost about $30,000." The recent repairs at Tillamook rock light houso did not include the bridge. As that was the third one carried away, it was con cluded that old ocean wanted no ob structions of that kind, and hereafter the old fashion of a swinging basket will be put in use to land passengers and supplies at that sea girt station. Little Herbert was pleading to go out of doors to play. "When I see fit, you shall go," said his mother, decidedly. This settling the matter, tho little fellow went off to his blocks. In abont half an hour he returned, and said, "Mamma, have you seen him?" "Seen whom?" replied the lady, utterly in the dark as to his meaning. "Why, seen fit." The annual business meeting of the members of tho Young Men's Chris tian Association will be held on Fri day evening at 8 o'clock. The annual reports will be presented, and officers elected for the year. On Sunday even ing the seventh anniversary services will be held in the Presbyterian church, when the Rev. C. H. Oliphant, of Massachusetts, will deliver an ad dress. It was understood, says the Port land Democrat of the 8th, that on last Saturday the supreme court would select a new clerk; but Judges Thayer and Strshnn didn't come to time and no court was held on that day, which was the last day of the October term. It is now supposed the selection will be made to-morrow. Judge C. H Page, of Astoria, has probably the best chance unless the govfcrhor vetoes the bill on account of the! "expense. G. O. Moen, the efficient superin tendent of the Astoria Gaslight com pany, put a Lungren Incandescent gas lamp in Tup. Astorian business office yesterday mat is about as fine a thing in the way of gaslight as tho "writer has ever seen. There is one in. the Occident saloon and another in Pythian Castle Hall. It throws a steady mass of white light and 13 all that can be desired for office or store. It is our modest belief that the busi ness office of this newspaper is lighted as well as any other in the Union. At the school meeting in district No. One last Monday evening, Capt Hustler made a brief showing of financial status that is gratifying to the district and a good showing for the zeal and efficiency of the sohool clerk. The statement was to the ef fect that there was in the district $903,665 of taxable property; that the 9 mill tax on that amount aggregated $8,177.93, and that of this possible sum he had collected $8,006.01, leav ing but $11L97. Only thoso who have had the job or similar work, can appreciate the effort of collecting any kind of a tax as close as that. The statement also illustrates tho satis factory financial standing of the dis trict in a marked way.

The little steamer f'ity A "TV?7; struck the cable of the Albiua ferry this morning and turned over on her side and soou went to the bottom. 'It.re were twelve persons aboard, all of whom escaped. John Gallagher, an inmate of St. Vincent's hospital, tried to cut his throat with a penknife this morning, and failed to sever the jugular vein, but severed his windpipe; he will probably die. It is believed that he was deranged at the time. A man at the Gilman house blew out the gas last night; himself and an English nobleman in the next room were found unconscious, but were saved.

Tho Irish National League havo adopted resolutions of regret CAT UP BY THE SF.A. The following was received at this office last evening from Capt. Steve Babbidge: Newport, Or., March 6, 18S7. J. F. Halleran: Herewith I send inclosed a letter written on board the steamer Dawn Feb. 10th. Tho letter will tell its own sad story. Mr. D. TI. Williams, living at Alsea, picked up a bottle contain ing the above mentioned letter, three miles below (or south) of Alsea bar. eighteen miles south of this (Yaquiua bar). A small vessel was seen on the 9th and 10th of February, from Ya quina head. T heard of the report at 4. v. jr. on the 11th. Thinking per haps it may have been tho Dawn, I went to the lookout. 1 there learned nothing in tho shape of a craft had been seen since the morning before. On reading Captain Harmon's letter, lam inclined to think he mistook Yaquina entrance for Shoalwator, and Alsea for Gray's harbor. The cause of the mistake, most likely, was owing to a strong southerly current, which at that time set along the coast. It was through the kindness of Mr. C. II. Williams, of Newport, that tho letter came into my possession. You can dispose of the letter as best suits you. Most likely the writer wonld cherish it as a treasure. Yours truly, S. R. Bahmdoe. The letter is written on one of the J)a ion's bill heads, and was evidently indited when the writer thought he had a very poor show of ever seeing land again. It is badly water stained, but the writing is legible. Renewed attention is being direct ed by the postoflice department to the following extracts from rulings of the postoflice department Sec. 90G, in regard to the delivery of mail for persons not calling in person; "Where application is made for this purpose, to serve the convenience of persons giving the order, postmasters should treat the messenger as one caller, representing for the time being ,the first name on the list, and wait on him, delivering any mail addressed to this name, and wait on the next per son if there be any there present de manding mail. After supplying All present in their order, he should re turn to the messenger, delivering mail to tho next name on the list, at tending to-other applicants if present, and proceed accordingly until his de livery is complete. Postmasters are forbidden to keep general callers waiting to pick out the mail for an indefinite number of persons upon the application of an agent employed by them." Imligvsiou or Conttipation.

' The most important changes in the state school law are published as fol fel fol eows: In tho first part of the bill there is little change from the old law. Regarding the apportionment of S50 to each district reporting to tho coun ty superintendent, the bill provides that said apportionments shall be made but once a year instead of twice as heretofore. Following are amoug the changod sectiens: Sec. 1. In each county there shall be a board of coun ty examiners composed of the county superintendent, who shall beex-offi-cio chairman of the board, and two competent persons, who shall be ap pointed by the county superintendent, and who shall serve one year from the time of their respective appoint ments, and each member of said board shall receive for his services the sum of three dollars per day, during the time necessarily employed in the dis charge of their duty. The board, two of whom shall constitute a quorum, shall hold quarterly examinations, commencing at noon on the last Wed nesday of each of the following months, viz: February, May, August and November of each year, at such places as may be designated by the county superintendent (who shall give ten days' notice of such examination) publicly examine such persons pro posing to teach iu the public schools of the county as to their competency to teach the branches prescribed by law; and such board of examiners shall issue certificates, as herein pro vided, to all such applicants as shall pass the required examination and satisfy the board as to their good moral character and ability to teach and govern schools successfully; pro vided further, that the time hereinbe fore stated for the commencement of the quarterly examinations of each year shall be absolute and uniform in each and every county in the state. Boards of examiners shall be paid for their services as provided for in this act, which claim for services shall be certified to by tho board of examiners and audited by tho county court, who shall order warrants drawn quarterly upon the general fund of the county. Certificates issued by the county board of examiners shall be of three grades: first, second and third, and shall continue in force, respectively, two years, one year and six months, as follews: Certificates of tho first grade shall not be issued to persons under eighteen years of age nor to such that havo not taught at least twelve months with approved success. Certificates of the first grado shall certify that tho person to whom it is issued is proficient in end ha3 passed satisfactory examination in all the branches required by law; provided, that persons who receive first grado certificates shall make a general aver age of not less than ninety per cent, of all questions asked, and in no case shall a person receive a certificate of the first grade who shall fall below seventy per cent, in any one branch. First grade certificates shall be valid only throughout the county where given, and ninst be issued at the quar terly public examination; provided, that n first grade certificate, valid for two years, may bo renowed by the county school superintendent by and with the consent or the county board of examiners for two yeirs "longer upon the payment of n fee of two dollars and fifty eenis o the superintendent, which fees shall be paid by him to the county trei.-,-! urer anu snail be credited to the gen eral fund of the county. The superintendent shall receipt for all moneys received and shall take receipts for all fees paid into the county treasury, which receipts shall bo kept on file 111 the othce of the superintendent. No first grade cer tificates shall be renewed more thau once without re-examination. Certfiicates of the second grade may be issued to persons of not le3s than seventeen years of age, who havo taught school successfully not less than three school months, and who shall fully satisfy the examining board as to their ability to teach all the branches required by law; pro vided, that persons receiving second grade certificates shall make a gener al average of not less than eighty per cent, in all the blanches prescribed bv law, and in no case shall a person receive a second grade certificate who falls below sixty per cent, iu any one branch. All second grade certificates must be obtained at public examina tions, and shall not be issued to the same person more than twice, and then only upon re-examinatiou. Cer tificates of this grade shall not be renewed, and shall not be valid out of the county where giveu. Certificates of the third grade shall bo valid only throughout the county in and for which they were granted for six months, and must be obtained at public examinations; provided, that persons who receive a third grade certificate shall make a general average of not less than seventy per per cent in all branches required by law, and in no case shall a person re ceive a third grade who falls below forty per cent, in any one branch. Certificates of the third grado shall not bo renewed, nnd shall not bo is sued to tho same person more than once. A fee of one dollar shall bo charged for each certificate obtained at the public examinations, which fees snail rorm a innj to ueiray tne ex-j penses of teachers' connty institutes. All fees received for certificates at public examinations shall be receipt ed for by the superintendent, and shall be paid by him to the county treasurer, taking his receipt therefor. All fees received from this source by the county treasurer must be credited to the county institute fund. Temporary certificates or permits may bo granted by tho county super intendent on examination in caso of necessity, valid only in the county where issued, and valid only until the next regular examination there after held by the county board of ex aminers; provided, that no such tem porary certificate or permit shall be granted more man once to tne same person, nor to an applicant who has failed in examination at the last regu lar public examination held by the board of examiners. The county superintendent shall charge a fee of two dollars and fifty cents for each and every examination for a tempora ry certificate or permit in advance, which fee shall be paid to tho county treasurer, taking his receipt therefor, and which shall be credited to the general fund of the county. Soiae Sncecviful Swindle-. How to get money without earning it is a question that a good many are trying to solve in the world. H01V to get the best of one's neighbor and play upon the gullibility, folly and ignorance of mankind is a game played by a bad many and with uni form success. Not a week goes by without some swindle being tried on, and no matter how much newspaper exposure is made, tho swindlers always find fools to bite at the bait. The one that ha3 been shown up seems the most successful the coun terfeit money racket. There is no law to cover the case of tho seller of counterfeit money, even if ho sends the stuff from his den iu Liberty street, New York, but there is a law that would shut up in state's prison every mother's son caught trying to pass it. Another profitable joint is to send broadcast through the mails circulars stating that So and So, the head of the great firm of Catcheiu & Plnckem, is about to start for London, and has been entrusted with the collecting of the claims of several American heirs to English estates. "Among others I find that yon have what appears to be a valid claim to tho estate in En glish chancery courts of So and So who died in 1839," and so on. The swindler goes on to suggest that if the party to whom the letter is addressed will send $21.65 or $23.75. or some such sum, "the matter will be attend ed to and prompt returns made." Strange as it may seem there are no fewer than seven in Astoria who havo bean in the last two months silly enough to send their good money to those chnp3. They might as well fling it into tho river for all the good it will do them. The "employment at home for worn ou;" the "national 'lottery of S. E. Lefebore, Box 1,816, Montreal;" the "gold watch on a coin basis, for $3 .65;" the chap that rings your door bell and says he has a bundle of smuggled goods, "oh" au English ship just in," are all alike. They are all on tho beat, and tho only thing that makes trade profitable for these folks is the desire of tho average man or woman to get something for nothing, and tho belief that they can do it. "Hope springs eternal in the hu man breast; man never is, but al ways to be, blest." The golden moment never arrives for many, and no amount of exposure or caution wili save the credulous from losing their coin and enriching the clever swindlers.- ANton'Mliing Sufcejw.
