No stoppage of work from Chi nese strikes has occurred at Booth d Co.'s factory, as currently reported. Spuds are worth two cents at As toria markets to-day, by the sack.

The vicinity of this oflice the past week resembles, the operations of a rich mining camp. A huge force of sappers and mineis are working on Cas, Water, and Squemoqha street improvements, under contract from Capt. Flavel. A raft of spiles belonging to the O. S X. Co. broke ad rift several days ago but after considerable trouble were secured without much loss, when the boom broke again last night, and the spiles went on a per fect jamboree. A new foundation on Water street, in process of construc tion by Mr. 2s. Kofccd was attacked and rudely punched. Satisfactory compensation for the damages is ex pected by Mr. Kofced from the com pany. The plans and specifications for the new Public School House, made by Messrs. Bain & Ferguson, are now with the clerk, Capt. J. G. Hustler. Inasmuch as a meeting has been called, to take into consideration the, matter of raising money to build the building, tax-payers should call and become familiar with the plans, that they vote understandingly. We do not think any better plans could be made or matured in this State for the puipose. A ten o'clock this forenoon a thud was heard in the vicinity of this office which sent us to the street. On looking eastward we observed that the Water street planking for a, dis tance of 200 feet fiom Cass street had gone down exactly 12 inches accord ing to contract. The work was done by D. A. Byers, with the aid of five men, in four hours after preparations were completed. One hundred and fifteen piles had to be sawed off, to lower the street, end the caps, string ers and planking and all went'down together without break or accident at the time above refered to. It is a good piece of work, places the road way on the proper grade, and will be a convenience to business. Current Euenis of the Day. The "Wave Queen sold her coal to the Gas Company.

The creaking and groaning of trembling buildings, the crash of falling walls and flying timbers made an exhibition of the fury of the elements which those who witnessed it will never de sire to see repeated.
