Tiik Tkmperaxck Movement. --A grand temperance revival is now agitating this community. On Sunday night ouv citizens were in vited to afmble at the ("ourt House, and take counsel together, as to the best means or measures to be resorted to, to induce dealers in intoxicating drinks to desist trom the sotd-destroyilig business. The Court I louse was well filled, and listened to eloquent and soul-stir-ring addresses from Rev Mr. Mat toon, Dr. Geary, S. G. Irvine, Isa iah Wilton, R K. Wairert and Mi C. George, Esq. The address of the latter gentleman is said to have been the best effort of his life, and showed deep and careful study of the whole subject. On Monday evening the Opera House was crowded, in fact many went away, there being no room to accoramo- date them. Stirring addresses were dolivorod bv Elder Stenhcnson. Messrs. llaimon, Wadsworth, and - J I others. A glee club, lead by Prof. Warren, discoursed most excellent music during the intervals between the speeches. A motion was made looking to die appointment of a committee ot ladies whose duty it would be to wait npon the saloon keepers of the city, and induce them to discontinue the sale of intoxicat ing drinks. However, afterdiscus sioii, it was deemed better to let the ladies manage the matter to suit themselves, aiid the motion was voted down. If the ladies choose to visit and pray in tho saloons, they can agree upon the matter among themselves who are the most appropriate and best qualified for the difficult task, and all temper ance people will wish them God speed in their missiou. A meeting was called for Tuesday evening, at 1 O'clock, at the Opera House, and meetings will probably be held every night during the week. May the work now commenced achieve the grandest results, and wipe every vestige of intemperance from our city. A large and enthusiastic precinct meeting was held in this city on Saturday last by the Independents. Speeches were made, and the ut most confidence expressed in the success of the ticket to be put in the field by the coming Independent Couuty Convention. Following are thedelegates selected to repre sent this precinct in said conven. tion, four ot whom have heretofore affiliated with the Democratic party: Frank Parton, D. , Cook, S. Powell, F. Simpson, M. C. Calloway, K. K. Fanning, G. II. Haber and T. Smith. The County Convention meets in this city to day. " The, Corvallis Det?werat has been purchased by Hon. J.

A com mitlee was then appointed for ap. portioning the delegates to the State Convention among life pre cincts The report of this cfmimit tee having teen adopted, and nom inations for such delegates made, the Convention proceeded to ballot, resulting in the choice of the fol lowing named gentlemen as dele gates to the Republican State Convention : Jas.

A vote ofthanks was then extended to Mr. Froman for the use of the hall, wheu the Convention ad journed. Xot Gnr.TY. On Friday even. J i'g of last week the jury in the Mealey-llarrtinan case brought m a verdict of not guilty. The verdict, we believe, met with the nui versa! approbation pi'our people certainly with the approbation of those who had heard all the testimony in the case. The numerous friends of Charles Mealey never for a moment have doubled his innocence, or be. lieved that his trial would result in any other Way than in his full and satisfactory acquittal. Messrs. Williams, ljrquaugh & Strahan ably managed the defense, gaining uew laurcls.for thf 'manner in which they brought out every point calcu lated to show the entire innocence of their client. Messrs. Effingtr, Helm and Humphrey showed un flagging zeal in prosecuting the case. The evidence was carefully Bifted, and everything looking like guilt on the part Of the prisoner prominently placed before the jury. The jury retired about 4 Pi M. of Friday, and shortly thereafter brought in their verdict of hot guilty. Base Ball Has broken out again in its most violent form, hereabouts. Dislocated joints, swelled heads as well as blistered hands are now in order. There is, however, no great excellence or proficiency reached without trouble and some sacrifice of pleasure , we are told. City property is rapidly appre ciating in value in Astoria. City lots that last year were assessed at $4 75, are now assessed at $5. Thus the property-hoMeif of 'that little city have a bright prospect before them for high prices in real estate, it they livelong enough.
