Mr. Knox aent word that the Chief Clerk would find him ia the Comptroller of fice. Thereupon Mr. Webster went to the office and rebuked Mr. Knox f r per saitting a lady risitor ia his office. Th halls of the Treaaury building now pres ent the quiet and stillness of a jail where only the watchmen and guards can b aeen and Mr. Folger is looked upon as the Warden and Webstt r holding the hangman's noose. The same ill feeling exists in the War Department between certain officials and cWks. There is a great lack of discrimination and judg ment displayed by tome of the petty of ficials in oar Government Department here, and how long the suffering sutor dinatea will stand the nonsence ia now imply a matter of conjecture. It i certain that it will not be lonjr before ih trouble is brought before Congress fo needed reforms. Some important changes are soon to take place ia the Patent Office. The Assistant Commissioner having resigned there is as usual a large num'er of of fice seekers making still hunts for the plaee, which by the way is one of th most important in that branch of the Government service, and no man, unless thoroughly posted should be appointed thereto. Mr. Robert Mason is the choice f Commissioner Marble and unless po litical influence instead of actual worth, is brought to iKjar in tilling Uie place, thiS gentleman will be the coming man. That he is eminently fitted for the re sponsible position no one inside of the Patent Office doubts, having passed through all the various stages of train in? and experience since the first d of a - - j - his appoint ment, fifteen years ago. He now is one of the most energetic and prorapt of the Principal Examining Corps, and if there were more men of li a class, less complaints in r ga .'d to tedious delays, now quite co iimon, would certainly be made against the Patent Office, Other changes will fol io some of the slow, lazy, ai d careless examiners who are more than two rnonths behind in their examinations w 11 be shelved and new blood infused tbeir places. AraroTv DUAL WEDDING. Wednesday we went down to the wedding of Frank M. Foster and Airs. Belle Ferrell, and Daniel Stehraen and Misa Annie Bradley. 1 Frank M. Fos ter is the nephew and stepson of our respected and well known citizen, Reulien Foster, and Mrs. Belle Ferrill is the widow of Nathaniel Ferrill, won of Dad" Ferrill, one of the wealthiest and most energetic citizens of Astoria. A rery short time they enjoyed each other's society, the young Ferrill dying of typhoid fever, and leaving his girl widow with a darling little son to be wail his loss. The two brides are daugh ters of the gallant old William Bradley one of the honored veterans of the Mex- i icau War, and as lieautiful as blush roses and sweet as the breath of a May morning. Never were there two more charming brides nor more delighted bridegrooms. His Honor, -Fudge Moore performed the ceremony. We got too late to tee it but believe it was well Ion, as the Judge knows how to tie md antie the marriage knot. A loan ti ful repast of the choicest rj- tnds was prepared t3 tickle the palate f the greets; that part w did not fail to enjoy. All that skilled and intelli gent cookery coald do to make food de- iicioas was sncceaufully carried out. 1 Mr. Reuben Foster is very happily 'iiarried, as hia wif i one of the most charming women we ever met, we don t think she bar a superior; if you hunted the continent over. She ia .Frank's nother, and has still (mother younger son, e fine noble boy, j The hosse ia beautifully sitcted, well furnished and witk iU tarroundings the seat of an industrious hospitality. The view af the Columbia River is magniii- 1 ieut There ia a great a3uut of or -tha.rdine' arnand it. and the land is first 1 i. . 'j. 1 1 1 :law. Patient waiter are no losers, and cae.

The Fosters are the descend ants of Revolutionary soldiers both on father's and mother 'a sids The Fosters belonged to Washington's " buckskin' troops, and tue ateeles j were true us steel in those times that tried men's souls when the great foundations of the American empire were laid in blood and tears. The native ground of the Fosters is Ohio. George Foster, who lives near Reuben, served as soldier in the 76th T Illinois Regiment during the late Rebel- lion, and is a fine specimen of intelligent I manhood. He has an accomplished wife tnd charming children. He is a patriot from the soles of his beots to the soul of bis bod. The bridegrooms, all know, Frank, ?nial, whole-souled, industrious and en- ordinary interest because proposed im ergetic, and Daniel S ten man, ith fine provement at the svoath of the Colum large open countenance which bespeaks bia will be a repetition of thi work, but him every inch a man. The Btehmans are Pennsy Iranians of Germ in stock, but here i ante-revolutionary times, here when patriots fought and bled, nd ready and willing to irive a hand for lilerty and equal rights. The ven erable Chriatiaa Stehman !is a well edu- i cated man, and has raised a large family with hit excellent wife in industrious wars. Enterprise Landing has a store kept by Bolt Havird, and will one day make a thriving village. There should be a post-office established hefe. Among nany others present at the wedding who leserve especial mention were Mrs. Oof- fenlierry of Astoria, sister; of the brides; nhe is the wife, of a son of Judge Cof- fenberry, and has two beautiful litt'e cherubs to adorn her household hearth. I She is a radianc, agreeable woman, lov-1 ing and beloved by all who know her. We met Mr. Charles Smith, a brilliant, jovial young man of Kalaraa. Mrs. Fowler, young and emrj;etic as ever was at the wedding and dance, and danced in almost every set. She can work or play in a whole aouled way riding. A young d amsel was seen rid that makes work play and play work, ing a hog. It would have made a fine She will soon be clear of debt, and own j a valuable property and many agreeable men are looking out of the corner of tlfir "vps thitherward.

Th upper! wji just aa (ood tva eeQid ba X wa an awful unhealthy time for chicken?, a grit nta'ny pissed in their checks, and we noticed one old turkey that sat very uneasily on the fence, doubtful whether this social blixzard would leare hin alive. The dance was prolonged till nearly light, we then returned to Mr. Reuben Foster's, ate breakfast, and returned on our homeward journey. We stopped and took dinner with that genial gentle man, Mr. J. Li Benham. His beauti ful and charming daughters were at home, Miss Mary having returned from the dance. Mrs. Benham who is a na tive of Jersey, the home f the Jersey Lily, Mrs. Lungtry, had started for As toria and was supposed at Mr. English's.

We met two gentlemen the other day who enquired the waj to Mr. Walter Duncan's residence. They wished to purchase his place, but he does not want to sell. He says there is a fine chance for an overshot wheel. He wishes to put in a set of neighborhood cards for wool. Perhaps he will have a aaw-mill, grist-mill and woolen mill, and with the assistance of his sons carry on a paying business where they can all live together and enjoy each other's society. This is certainly a happy way to pass through life with those we love around us. We met Mra., J. G. Hunter at Captain Lemont's the other day. She resides, when at home, with her son S. T. Hun ter. She is one of the iuMt intelligent ladies we erer met. She gave u some items about the R R. She said that the water might not be deep enough at all times of the year at Spcecht's, so tlia the water was resounded, and it was thought that possibly the crossing would be higher up tnd nearer the foot of Deer Island. The track on the Washington Territory side will extend ap W a rocky point above Kalama. Tlesday, morning Henry Rung, Bert Ellis, Charlie Young, Eddie Watts, and Prank and Arthur Moore went down on the grand old skating rink in front of our house. We know of no place that would inspire the genias of c Hill, like the scene areund Frogmor.

Mra Allen has nearly recovered. Her little children were so delighted to see her sit up, they would cluster to her side, and kiss her every few minutes. Few people can realize how ladly little children feel when their mother is dan gerously sick. The blind Slough, a part of Frogmore furnished th? finest skating rink yet. The water en it at the time of the freeze up was deep, consequently there is al- most a hundred acres of smooth surface that looks really magnificent enough for the Emperor of Russia and bia suite. The ice at the head of the Lower Willamette River or Slough, prevens steamers from coming down and coinir up that way. That has usually been open when the Columbia is closed. Tuesday night there was a fine party on the ice at Broyles pond. There were 5 ladies and 18 gentlemen present. They fired a big fir on the bank, and made a splendid illumination.
