Another Boat Race Wo are informed that J another contest is to come off soon between the sloops Mary H, and lone; both boats will pre pare for it, and the raco will bo an interesting ono BEAcnED. The sloop Fannie Bell with a cargo of wood on board, met with an accident at the wharf, and partly full of water was poled over to Cass street, beach on high tido, for re pairing, as soon as discharged. Baths. The magical effect of soap and wa ter was astonishingly displayed at the Occident baths, Sunday. Mr. Uhlenhardt having every thing in perfect and nice -working order now his baths may bo considered a luxury. Shooting. Saturday an altercation occurred between two men in which weapons wero put to use. The party assailed was Baker Tostin. After being shot at and missed, almost faco to face with his opponent, ho lit in with his fives and decorated his head in the highest stylo of the art Stave Bolts. The Adelaide brought from Youngs river, last Saturday, a cargo of fino stavo bolts, for shipmont to Honolulu by tho barkentino Jano A Falkinburg. Capt Flavel has an extensive contract for furnishing this article to tho Islands, and tho trade in timo will be a largo and lucrative ono for this region - Subdued Sunday morning a man very much intoxicated created a stir on tho street by the excessive use of obsono and abusivo language He was promptly arrested and on boing brought before recorder Stevens was fined $10 and cost in all $15, not having tho casb ho was sent to work it out on tho streets at one dollar a duy. Letting her Juhp, " Lot her drive," was the text preached from a fow Sundays ago by a young, tonguoy and eccentric clergyman of Brooklyn. At tho close of tho sermon a plain looking man inquired of another who that was that preabhed and why ho selected such subjects. " O, that is our pastor," was tho ro nly "' and those subjects are takon up a relief from tho dull, prosy sermons of tho day, Ho is -wonderfully popular, you soo." " Yes; give my compliments to him: I am from tho west, am going to Boston, shall bo back next week, ' and ho would obligo mo very much if he would preach next Sunday from tho text; Let her rip.'" Last Sunday Captain Hamblin of tho sloop Elua, received similar compliments from a gentleman of Portland, who was ono of a party of five on an excursion to Lewis and Clarke river. Tho wind blow -fresh from tho north "west, and a heavy sea rolled, so tho Cap tain thought a reef necessary to tho sail and no jib wanting. " 0, give her all sail," saidour friend, " I like fast ridinglot hor jump!" A sly wink passed around the crowd, Hamblin sot his jib, and away they spod like tho wings of a bird. Astorians know tho rosult, a wotter party nevor landed from Lewis. and Clarke on a dry, beautiful day. Our friend next "Sunday wants to go out again, prepared to let hor rip. A slight alteration from tho B ooklyn text, to be found in tho loth verse, 27th chapter, Acts. Come to the Fountain. Oho of tho.most at tractive establishments- in Portland "is tho drug and perfumery storo of our old friend Sifcnuol M. Smith, corner of Ash and Fiist streets.

The Ajax, after taking 500 tons of freight from the fisheries along the river came to Astoria and took 500 of 1300 cases here, leaving SOO cases for the next steamer. Daily Boat. We are pleased to hear that on Monday next the Ore gon Steam Navigation Company will place the Annie Stewart on the Asto ria route, giving us a daily boat to Portland. The celebration at Cathlamet on tle 4th, was a decided success. Our re porter returned last evening and in our next issue will give full particu lars. Tide Land Beef. One reason why the beef steaks of Clatsop county are so rich and juicy may be attubuted to the fact that the cattle get Tolling fat on the ever green grass of our tide lands. They never are compell ed to eat dry hay. Prospect Hill. A few hours spent very pleasantly the other day with our friend E. J. Jeffries of Prospect Hill, Lewis and Clarke river, furn ished several good items which we propose writing up at an early day. Grading. The Adelaide arrived from Clatsop on the 6th bringing teams of horses and wagons for Messrs' H. B. Parker and F.

BED CORD&' Many of our readers will recognize the truthfulness of the following nar rative as told by the funny man of the Danbury News: It, is a little singular why your wife's mother, will persist in 'sleeping on a cord bedstead. But she does. You don't think smucI of this until you are called upon to- put it up which event generally takes place in the evening. The bedstead has been cleaned in the afternoon, and hav ing been soaked through with hot water, is now ready for putting up. Your wife holds the lamp and takes charge of the conversation. The rope has been underwater sever al times in the course of the cleaning, and has sw-olen to a diameter great er than the holes in the rails, has also got into a fit of coiling up into myster ious intricate forms. You sxt first wonder at this, but bretty soon wond er ceases to. be a virtue., and you then scold, The thread wiach has been wound around the end of the rope to. facilitate its introduction into the holes has come off, and y.ou have too roll it up again. Then after you have pulled it through eight holes, your wife makes the, discovery that you have-srarted wrong. The way that rope comes out of those holes again makes your wife get closer to the door. Then you try again, and get it tangled in your legs. By this time you notice .that this is the smallest bedroom in the house, and you call the attention of your wife to the fact by observing : " Why on earth don't you open the. door? Do you want to smother me?" She opens the door and you start again, and she helps you with the lamp. Pirst she. puts it on the wrong side of. the rail, then she moves it so the heat comes up from the chimney and scorches your nose. Just as you need it the most you lose sight ef it entirely, and turn ing round find her examining the wall to see how that man has. put on the whitewash.. This excSfces. you and brings out the perspiration in greater profusion, and you declare you will kick the bedstead out of doors if she doesn't come around with that light. Then she comes around. Finally the cord, is laid all right, and you proceed to execute the very delicate job of tightening it. The lower ropes- are first walkedjover J This is done by stepping. qn the first one and sinking jt down, hanging to the head-board with the clutch ef death. Then you ste with the other foot on the ne-xt line, spring .that do wn; lose. your balance, grab for the head-board, miss it and come down in a heap. This is repeated mor.e or less times across the length of the bed, the only variety being the nsew places you bruise. The top corcjsarc tightened in another way, and you proceed to that. You first put one foot on each railwrjich spreads you some, and as you do it the .frightful thought strikes you that if one of these feet should slip o.yer, nothing on .earth would prevent your being spilt through to the chin.. Then you put up the first rope until your eyes seem io be on the point of rolling out of their sockets, and the blood rh your viens fairly groans, arid on )be ing convinced 'tAat'you .can't jpull it' arrv further without crippling your self for .life, you catch hol'do'f && 'l 'i .-I ' lr i ' T ,V next rope ana unww. tjuuu uu, mm grunt. .. , ;'' '.''' j Then you move along to the next,, and pull Vhat up, arid' grant' again. Just as you have .got to the middle aboufctfcrorcgh,, even if your ,joints ,,.11 ruL.iftVnfrnrn rf. nSfcHfiV "did Tlft- wmiv I";" r.ihfAvK other miss the fnrr -vcou some.WV.or ! v5r.ri.o'U .vai'ojw ! t tonnectton, ana nna x uu .you nave a-m 1 Wv l!AtAl and do i ill1 over Here-you pausefor a few minute for oracular refreshment,, then slowly and carefully work your way back. You don't jump down and ivalk back, because you are afraid to spread out in that way again. You sort of wad dle back, working the way. inch by inch, and with consummate patience. A man. thus stretched across a bed stead never becomes so excited as to lose his preserice of mind. It would be instant death to him if he did.. Then he goes it over again, waddling and pulling groaning and grunting, while his wife moves round with the lamp and tells . him to take it easy and not scratch the' bedstead any more than he can help, andshe can't tell which dreaks the most, he or the bedstead. And afterhgets through she has tho audacity to ask yn to bring in the feather beds. In the dead of the night that man will steal up to that room and look at the bed--stead and swear.. The Merrimack Journal says a ves sel which sailed for Cuba, last year, with a cargo pf molasses casks filled 100 of them with!i fresh water from the river for ballast.. Just as she reached her destination Cardenas suffered from a tidal ncavC), that overflowed well with salt watoyvr'ken the captain found a ready sale for 'his Merrimack river water at $2.50 per cask. An Indiana man is naming his chil dren after the New England States. He has now Maine, New Hampshire,., Vermont,, Massachusetts, and Hhode Island, with a flattening prospect of. Connecticut.. .
