- Comptroller Knox was also informed by
Mr. Webster tW hia prraeac was de

Knox aent word that the Chief Clerk
would find him ia the Comptroller of

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

examiners who are more than two

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.

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

The hosse ia beautifully sitcted, well

family, and raid ia the highly civilized
society of Illioia Mr. IToster arenas to
have obeHl the eld and new b;ntament

in hia mtrriage, taking ac wife his
brother'e widow, and, God'a blessing
sfems to fall on him in the fullest man
ner and hia life of hard self sacrifice and
Datient industry to be i crowned with
happiness. 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.

are Pennsy Iranians of Germ in stock,

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

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

Prank and Arthur Moore went down on

Few people can realize how ladly little

The blind Slough, a part of Frogmore
furnished th? finest skating rink yet.
The water en it at the time of the freeze

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
