Ton now bathing houses have been erected on the beach at ClaNop. Summer visitors are flocking to the Seaside until the place ib a very bu&y one. Dr. Kinscy sells a superior quality of cuttle-fish bone for canaries, at hU store on Main street. The Common Council will meet at S o'clock this evening. It will be next to the last meeting of the present board. Timothy grass, with heads fourteen inches in length, is a very common thing in this region.

Astoria "Engiue Company 2sTo. 1 were out trying their machine at the corner of Squemoque and Cash streets last Saturday evening. They did, some responsible throw ing of water in the vicinity. Saturday evening the steamer Yaruna took the scow Annie Bell in tow for Clas kaniue farm, loaded with G,000 feet of lumber, ten cows, eight calves, hay press, mowing machine, horses, harnesses, etc., for haying operations on the Claskanine farm. "We hear of quite a number who pro pose visiting Oysterville -to witness the regatta there next Thursday. It is ex pected this will be the excursion of the season. Several Astorians who have not been to Oysterville for years hone to be among the numbers on this occasion. The good. efFects of the wagon road connecting Tillamook and Yamhill coun ties is already being felt. Hundreds of teams may now visit Tillamook county where formerly the solitary mule wended, its way with a pack on its back. "What that road has done for Tillamook it is ex pected the Nehalein road will do for this comity when Astoiia and Cornelius are connected. A stroll along "Wall street Saturday afternoon disclosed the fact that vary de sirable improvements are being made east of Court street. C. "W. Shivcly is at work, at a cut and fill in front of his property, and J. "Wm. "Welch, in force, has under taken a heavy contract in front of Mr. A. Van Dusen's. This is the work that is to make an avenue that,will connect Astoria with the upper town, and eventually make a drive out of the city for carriages, a thing which is very much needed, and an improvement we hope soon to see. .

"Wc understand that Prof, and 3Irb. 3IcGibcny, who, liave been spending a few days in Astoria, re turn to-day to their Portland home. "We wender: do Portlanders appreciate these people? Since our acquaintance with the Profeor and his very excellent wife, about three years if we mistake not, we ! have never met them without finding something more and more estimable. Something to tell of them as being kind, genial, social, refined, experienced and expert musicians; teachers, without com parison. Prof. McGibeny left a lovely re gion of country (Minnesota), to como to Oregon to teach his specialty, and we should be at a loss to know why he is not extravagantly lauded, were it not for a few things coming under our observation as a reporter for the press of Portland. He is too jealously regarded to be regarded zealously. He is emphatically a teacher of music, and has the diplomas and neces saiy papers to back his claims, and in time will win favor from all classes. Mrs. McGibeny has a sweet voice, and has con trol of it, and as an auxiliary to her hus band hoth will be successful. They have accomplished much during their visit of a week to Astoria, and Astorians part -with them reluctantly, hoping to again soon see them here, when they can stay longer, and furnish us another musical treat. Since writing the above we are informed Prof, and Mrs. MeGibeny will remain another week, and perhaps another Praise Meeting will ""be- held by. older persons participating at tho Congregational Church next Sunday evening. Among the passengers leaving Oregon by the steam-hip Ajax, Sunday morning, was Mr. n. B. H. Snyder, Jr., of jtfew Jcrsey. Mr- S. has been out to this coast recreating, and taking advantage of tho detention of the steamer over night at Bay View, Capt. Robcit Hume's fishery, struck a bargain with one of the fishermen for a night on the fishing grounds. The proposition was to make up -any loss the boat might sustain from the inexperience of Mr. Snydor in the management. All things being ready, accompanied by Pur ser Johnson, the party set out in the eve ning prepared for a night's work mixed with pleasure. The first haul of the net produced sixtv-four fine fish, land the total catch amounted to one hundred and eighty four, quitting at six o'clock in the morn ing with a gain instead of a los. It was a pleasant night to the amateur fishermen, and Mr. Snyder will carry the recollec tions of his Oregon trip with much greater interest; -on account of it. On the day after this event the steamer was again de tained twelve hours waiting for high water to get down to Astoria, on the trip from Portland, when Mr. S., Purser Johnson, and three others, took one of tho ship's boats and pulled down to this place, a dis tance of six miles in a heavy sea, giving them an opportunity to look through the city before the steamer arrived! to. carry them on their journey. Ambitions structures reared by man have to drop in compassion to the stately firs of Clatsop county..

It is a hollow sphere of iron of eight million pounds weight, ancLis one hun dred and. eight feet higher than the "Wash ington Monument in Baltimore, sixty eight feet higer than .Bunker Hill Monu ment,. ancL twenty-three feet higher than the Trinity Church steeple at New York." But what are these works' when compared "to the symmetrical proportions of fallen trees to be seen on A. J. Megler's farm. One only live feet through at the butt measured 300 foet in length. It -was 100 feet to the first limb. It is a regular tap er till the extreme top, where it is not much larger than a fishing-rod- Other trees on. the tiact will measure 15 feet through at thebutt end. An, excursion to the Ajax as she Jay at anchor above Tongue jPoinWast Satur day, was made by Capt. L. "W. Poole of the sloop Mary H., and tho steamer Mary iBell. Some good running was done.
