The new Steamer "Yaquina" crossed in
at 2 hours flood on Friday last, finding 14
jet of water on the liar. She steamed
straight up to the Raiiroad works, and
landed her freight, then ?e 'went on to the
Oneatta Saw Mill's, aifll then returned to
Newport to leave the remainder of the 300
tons constituting her cargo. She only re
mained two days at Yaquina, B reasonably
quick dispatch It appear 3 to tis a little
strange that if the ship could come in on
Friday on two hours flood, or 14 feet, she
should have not managed to get within 8
miles of the place on the Monday week
previous, when there was at high tide 20

JohnfSmith and Bill Brown went hunting
a few days ago anil becoming tired and co'd
they essayed to build a fire. Bill had a
bottle of powder in his side coat pocket
and while stooping down to blow the fire
the cork fell out and the powder followed,
some of which fell into the fire, anil ignited
the whole. The first he knew the air was
full of wood, and fire, anil noise and things,
and he woke to realize that his face had
taken in most of the situation: ever since
he looks as if the event had made a lasting
impression upon him. It is fortunate how
ever, that no permanant injury resulted,
beyond a slightly damaged appeareuce.

perfect were their make-up that with one or
two exceptions none were recognized by
their most intimate friends. Stylish cooks
interviewed by Brother Jonathan, noblemen
dancing with orphans, and the gorgeous

has just completed full returns for the year
1881 of business done in the Port Townsend
custom house. American vessels entered
from foreign ports, 2S2, tonnage 104,027;
American vessels entered coastwise, 124,
tonnage 107,046; foreign vessels entered
from foreign ports, 75, tonnage, 28,009;
total entries, 4S1, tonnage 300,562: Ameri

From Wadswortn, Scv., to Ths Dalles.
A
The Lake eounty Examiner learns that
the Nevada and Oregon railroad is graded
out to the junction, and that there is 22
miles of track laid and in running order.
Beno people are disposed to scout the idea
that the Central Pacific proposes to build a
road from Wadsworth to The Dalles by way
of Goose lake, though there are good
grounds that such is the intention of the C.
P. folks. He says that in the event the
road is started from Wadsworth there wrill
be ample capital to push the work fast
enough to reach the Oregon line much
sooner than the N. & O. can, and it is the
universal opinion that if that road is started
in earnest the Nevada and Oregon will
branch off into the Plumas county, and
abandon the project of coming to Oregon.
The objective point of the proposed road
from Wadsworth will be The Dalles, and if
commenced it will be built as fast as men
and money can do Cue work.

In the world there are published 34,274

aggregate circulation reaching 10,592,000,000
copies, or about 6J papers per year to each
inhabitant of the globe. Europe leads with
19,556; North America follows with 12,400,
the two together making over nine-tenths
of all the publications in existence. Asia
has 775; South America 639; Australia G01
md Africa 132. Of these 7800 are in Ger

At the residence of Wallace Baldwin,
Saturday morning, Jan. 14th, hyRev. J. E.
N. Hell, MissJda Baldwin, to -Mr. samuel
Center, of Cal.
Owing to the illness of Mrs. W. Baldwin,
the services were informal, and private,
Mrs. Sadie Huffman being the only guest
aside from the family. After an early
breakfast the bridal couple bid their friends
farewell, and departed on the train for their
future home at the Groat Western mines
near Calistoga California, where the groom
has a new house all equipped and furnished
to receive them.
Corv His has been Miss Baldwin's home
since cnudnood. liemg ot a quiet turn 01
n.ind. she never took a prominent part in
social circles, but was universally esteemed
by:ail who knew lier, and will be most missed
by those who knew her best. She first
met the partner of her choice something
over a year ago wdiile temporarily residing
in San Francisco and the passing acquain
tenee soon ripened into love which was
mutually reciprocated. Mr. Center was a
stranger here even to her family before his
coming: but by the few wdio met him daring
his few days sojourn among us, he is held
in high esteem. He comes of old New
Hampshire stock and partakes of the ster
ling qualities of his native state. We pre
dict for them a happy auij prosperous
future.
