CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Wood. The schooner Adelaide
discharged a cargo of wood at Flavels'
-wharf from Lewis and Clake river
yesterday.
Lumber. The Varuna yesterday
took a large cargo of lumber for Cape
Disappointment from Terrell's mill
in this city.
Xkw Building.-
-Ir. Spellmier is
fitting up a very neat, square iront
building on Main street, near Masonic
Hall, for the use ofOkliss Lizzie Sped
den in her millinery business.
Loaded Both Ways. The steamer
Varuna left for Fort Stevens and
Chinook Thursday, 'literally7 covered
all over with freight. On her return
Megler & Jewett had her about as
much crowded with cases and half
barrels of Chinook salmon.
Sailed. Capt. Gage got off in tow
of the tug boat Astoria early Thursday
morning, and judging from the runs
he usually makes must be very near
San Francisco to-day. The "VVebfoot
came in on the 23d, loaded for Port
land. Widowers. Our friends Rev. T. A.
Ilyland and Mr. A. Van Dusen both
are widowers. Their "better-halves"
are out of the city. Mrs. Hyland
will spend some two weeks at Clat
sop, and Mrs. Van Dusen has taken
a night to Eagle Cliff.
Repainting. Mr. Lewis Wilson
lias for some time past been employ
ed in repainting and refitting his
residence on Court street. Mr. Wil
son is one of our most enterprising
citizens, and desires to have every
thing Reat and ship shape about his
premises.
Club Meeting. It will be seen by
reference to notice elsewhere that a
special meeting of Winship Chowder
Club F. & F. is to be held at Captain
Kippen's office to-day. We are not
prepared to say whether the Oyster-
ville Yacht Club regatta has anything
to do with this meeting or not, but,
of course, it might be expected that
it has.
The First Wheat Vessel. About
four o'clock, p. m., Thursday, the
British ship Middlesex, Capt Massey,
arrived at this port in ballast from
San Francisco, 'to load with wheat
for Liverpool. The Middlesex is a
large ship with a capacity for carry
ing 1,700 or 1,800 tons, and will be
loaded by Messrs. Laidlaw & Gate, of
Portland. She is the first vessel in
the wheat fleet that has arrived this
season. j
A Good Bun. At precisely nine
oMoek Thursday morning the lines
were thrown on the wharf at this
2rt from the steamship California,
exactly four days from Sitka. The
California left Astoria on her outward
vovage at 5 o'clock, a Mon the 25th
of June,, and was, consequently, only
fifteen days making the round voyage
of about 2,400 miles, including a trip
up Puget Sound, and all the neces
sary stoppages. She brought no pas
sengers, but had a cargo of coal for
the Portland Gas 3!5glit4Sompany.t.
High and Low. We have had
very high and low tides this week.
Now if a sailor was" to fall overboard
we could report " high, low, Jack."
New Tide Gauge. Lewis Wilson
of this city, leaves to-day for Port
Townsend, the port of entry for the
Puget Sound district, for, the purpose
of assisting Capt. Lawson, of the TJ.
S. Coast Survey, in putting up a tide
gauge at that point.
Leather for Europe. Mr. C. Lien-
enweberof this city, having received
from Germany letters of inquiry con
cerning the manufacture of leather
at Astoria, and the probable chances
of purchasing large lots, has replied
favorably, and sent samples of hts
own work to the parties making the
inquiries. A direct leather business
between Astoria and Germany would
briiitf us thousands of dollars annu
ally and set Oregon on her pins.
A Chance to Lighter. The Mid
dlesex when loaded, will draw 21
feet depth of water. We are reliably
informed that she will not be able to
reach Astoria, on her outward voy
age for Liverpool from the "sea
port" up the Wallamet (Portland),
drawing over 17 feet. Here is a
chance for steamers to get a job of
lightering for the other four feet.
Any vessel can load and depart from
Astoria drawing her full depth.
The Gussie Telfair. Capt. Gard
ner came over on the California ar
riving here on the 10th. He informs
us that the favorite little propeller
Gussie Telfair has been handsomely
refitted, and expects that she has
been launched before this time at
Victoria. As soon as she is repaired
she will take her place in the Oregon
trade with Puget Sound and Sitka.
Fourth on the Ajax. The steam
ship Ajax happened to be caught on
the Columbia river, at the fisheries,
loading for San Francisco, on the
Fourth, but chief engineer Van Du
ser, clerk Beed, and Col. West, Wells
Fargo fe Company's express messen
ger, were not caught without thenec
cessary articles to appropriately cele
brate. Capt. Hiram Brown, of this
city, took part in the celebration
which passed off in 'fine style at
Hapgood & Hume's. Sky rockets,
bombs, crackers, and cannon were
fired, streaming lines of fireworks
were set off in the rigging, and with
music, singing and a good time in
general, the passengers, some fifty in
number, seemed very much at home.
The festivities closed with a bird sup
per, at which all officiated'. Making
a joy of what would otherwise have
been a yery monotonous day.
Goodness. Mr. A. H. Sale tells us
of a lot of strawberries plucked from
his patch the other day that measur
ed from Z to 4 inches in circumfer
ence average.
The beef killed by the Astoria
butchers, after fattening on tide lands
knocks the socks so far off from East
ern Oregon that there is no use to
talk. Portland chewers of tough
beefsteaks come down here to break
fast and get some.
Capt. M. Kogers' peas have grown
to about eight feet high this Sum
mer. When the seed came out from
the States three years ago they were
warranted to grow three feet. The
Oregon soil improves the height
yearly.
S. W. Hill, of Deep river, has left
us an average sample of his grasses,
(timothy and orchard grass), which
was pastured up to the loth day of
May, less than two months ago.
When he drove the cattle off, this
grass "went up," and the sample left

Spiritual Hall. This building is
being thoroughly renovated and
painted within and without.
Flavel's New Wharf. The work
on Capt. George Flavel's new- wharf
is progressing finely. We hope to
be able to chronicle its completion
in time for fall business.
FuRNisniNG. Judging from the
style of tables which are being made
at Stoll's, the apartments on the pilot
boat California are to be luxuriantly
fixed up. The California is now
nearlv as good as new.
Very III. Mr. J. H. Dyson, clerk
at Arrigoni's was taken suddenly
very ill at the dinner table a few
days ago and is yet unable to attend
to duties of his office.
Humor. There is a rumor on the
streets that the tug Astoria is about
to leave us. Guess she won't go
farther than about Shoalwater Bay,
on the 20th. That is to say, if she
goes anywhere.
Decorated. The hall of Beaver
Lodge No. 25 I. 0 O. F., wTas hand
somely decorated with flowers Thurs
day evening, on the occasion of the
installation of new officers. They
were placed there by Brother Lewis
Wilson, and the Lodge thanked-Mrs.
Wilson for the donation.

Letters from the People-
The Butter Maker's Pnrartisc.
Clatsop Plains, July 10, 1873.
Editor Asterian:
You were correct in classing Clatsop
county as the " Butter Maker's Paradise."
You cannot say too much in praise of this?
region as a place adapted to the dairying
business. The climate is peculiarly favor
able to profitable dairy products. Our
cool nights in Summer, and the abundance
of cool spring water, and freedom from .
sultry, wet weather and thunder stormb all
add to the ihcilities of making good butter
and cheese, and the perpetually green pas
tures, Summer and "Winter, render a su
perior quality of pure milk double certain.
"We are pleased with the Astokian, and
all in this vicinity, will support it to a man.
Wishing you all possible success, lam "
Yours, with respect,
Celebration at Catlilamet.
Cj.thl.vmkt, July 111873.-
Editor Asterian:
Really I ask your pardon for not furnish
ing this copy sooner, hut a press of business
made me miss one boat, and you know
how it is yourself. However, next week -a
daily boat, and up to time will be. the
motto.
The pic nic and celebration at Cathlamet
on the Fourth, under the management of
Horace Hallett, was the moat imposing
and brilliant attair ever witnessed in that
part of "Washington territory.
In a beautiful shady grove, in the imme
diate vicinity, nature has provided a mag
nificent cool resort for a hot day; and there,
a large dancing floor, music stand, and re
freshment saloons were erected and adorn
ed in appropriate manner for the occasion
A band of music, and everything being
in readiness, ataboutten 6'clock a. m. the
beauty and iashion of the surrounding
country began to assemble, and very soon
thereafter amidst cheers and the booming
of fire crackers, the reader of the immor
tal Declaration of Independence, James
Birnie, esq., made his appearance and in
an eloquent manner, loud and distmctTread
the document to the assembled people. It
is a soul-inspiring, patriotic paper, and
should be read in every hamlet, town and
city in this- universe of ours, annuafly on
the Fourth of July,
At the conclusion of the reading the band
played "Star Spangled Banner," when.
Mr. Hallett made a few remarks and then
introduced the Orator of the Day from
Deep river, who came forth majestically
clad for the occasion in his long linen dus
ter, with the American flag in one hand
and a Greeley hat in the other. A roll of
parchment ornamented his left arm.
The Orator was greeted with round after
round of applause and it was some time
before he could spread himself; but Mr
Editor, when he did so, when his stentori
an notes reached the ears of those people,
at the termination of every sentence you
could hear a pin drop any where in the
woods. "When he struck that part alluding
to the incidents of Brandywine and where
our forefathers had fought, bled and died,
and when the great American Eagle, with
one foot upon Mount Hood and the other
upon Chemoque Peak was supposed to be
flapping his wings over the enthusiastic as
semblage here gathered on this- occasion to
honor the 97th anniversary of our glori
ous Independence, the audience became
perfectly spell bound, at which point the
Oratortookdvantage of thesituation and
retired in good order.
The hand then struck up a Polka, and
some one sungeut: tl Take partners for the
dance," and everything moved along vory
nicely Sack racing, swinging and other
innocent amusements were eanid on har
moniously during, the balance of the day
and evening. Everything went oil vcrv
quiet. A grand display of fireworks in the
evening, and a Balloon ascension, winding
up with a dance at the Clarendon, wheie
they danced all night till broftd day light
and then went home with' tho girls in the
morning; every one convinced thoroughly
that Horace can gt up these pic hies, in
good style. Ropectfully yours,
Catiulamkt.
