Water is not good until it tastes of the tanks, then it may be preserved and put down. The Caller Ou will be ready to conic down the river tj-morrow. The Portland will be ready also, the last of this week. Tins will leave only the barkentine Jane A. Falkinburg in the river a3ove Astoria. Hie bark California left Wilming ton side by side with the .Rival. The latter arrived at Knappton May 27, -and the former arrived at Victoria jVIay 31st, four days later. G. Al. Stroud, Esq., one of the most affable conductors tha; ever collected a fare, is sojourning tem porarily at the Occieent, in this city, lie brought with him a son who is in bad health, and will stop for a time -at Unity in the hope of receiving benefits from change of climate. The times are improving rapidly. That shower of mutton in Kentucky lias been followed by a shower of eggs in New York State, and a shower of oysters and fish chowder in Wisconsin. And the other night a shower of shav ing cups, boot jacks, bars of soap, and kindling wood occurred in a back yard up town. It turns out that only a small fraction of Ben Holladay's property at Ophir farm was sold, but it took three columns and a half and ten lines in trashy newspapers to tell about it. 'Three columns to the abuse of old Ben, half a column in abuse of his family, and ten lines to say that the sale -amounted to about 3,000, "of the most common articles." Ophir farm consists f about 1,000 acres of the best laud in. New York. With im provements valued at no less than 3,- 000,000. Poor (?) Ben Holladay! in deed. The contagion of investigation is spreading. The past week a disciple ofHeister Clymer attached himself to certain members of the Astoria City Council, and demanded that there be an investigation into the affairs of City Recorder. He insisted that there were iniquities screened behind the desk of his Hon. Judge Taylor, that would cause a mantle of shame to rise upon the face of every honest Astorian. Remembering the words of Alexander Smith ; Behold, the oeean's inmost heart is pure. Though tho sait fringe that daily licke the shore Is gross with sand. we patiently awaited develop ments, but the accuser got drunk, .and is now in jail, which brings the investigation to an abrupt termination. Fourth of July. Editor Astemax: The coming Fourth will be generally observed throughout the country, and Astoria should not be behind hand. We can have a grand good time in the grove, and have some one who is well acquainted with the early history of the town of Astoria, write a history commencing back to the earliest set tlement up to the present time, and read it to the reople. It would not only be interesting to the new comers, but the old inhabitants, would take great pleasure in hearing of the "old times gone by. " Let our citizens take hold of this matter, push it along and. make it a success. CU5ETUX. The School Exhibition. Forty-seven dollars and thrty-five cents were taken in at the door last Saturday evening by the School Exhi bition. The expenses were: For Hall 12 00 For Piano 5 00 For Moving Piano o 00 For Printing 3 50 For Footlights 25 For one wash bowl, broken 1 25 Total $27 00 Leaving a balance of twenty dollars and thirty-five cents, which will be ex pended in getting up a report for the Public School. W. L. WORTHIXGTOX. Maj. Martin V. Brown has much to say in his June Gth Democrat about the next World's fair. Better think it over carefully in this world. He voted and then immediately started overland for the Centennial. A correspondent of the Ligoneer (Lid.), Banner says "it is probable that sixteen out of twenty of all the fish canneries on the Columbia river will be sold out at Sheriff sale this fall on executions." Rather a bad photo graph of Oregon, that; to send so far away. We are ignorant of any causes likely to produce such result, unless it be, "scarcity of fish." Sic emit fata hominum. Two gentlemen are stopping at the Occident, Messrs. Boyer and Covctte, on their way to Europe, from the far interior. One of these gentlemen, Mr. C, was in Astoria more than a quarter of a century ago. He finds quite a different looking place to-day, from the Astoria of 1S50. He has met with a few whom he knew here then, but far the greatest number of those composing the in habitants of Astoria in that day have scattered, many have gone to their final rest Some wild bets are being made to-da at Astoria on Tillamook coun ty. We have no news from there fur ther than that reported in another col umn. Last year at the sneci.il ela tion the county gave Warren 35 major ity. The vote was 132. How the majorities are to be had on which bets are made to-day does not clearly cross the threshold of our somewhat mysti fied comprehension. Some bets are made on eighty for Wilson, some for seventy, and so on. Wilson has sev enteen' majority in Clatsop to get eighty majority in the district, Wilson must have sixty-tlu-ee majority in Till amook. Taking the vote of last year as a basis, a change must liave come o'er their dreams in the past Leven months, to make a difference of ninety-eight voters in the aggregate, with only 132 in the county October 25th, 1875. Veterans of the Mexican war turned out in the procession on Dec oration Day at Carson, and were re warded by finding themselves des cribed in a local japer next day as u nice old stiffs.."

Synopsis of Press Bispatokec Don Cameron Secretary at Last. Anna Dickinson's "Crown of Thorns." Cincinnati Jealous About Anna. Blain and His Crackers. Mullett with One House Only. Kind Old Uncle.SamueL How he Cares for the Squaws. Members who wTere positive biat Don Cameron would not accept the AVar Portfolio, have changed their opinion last Thursday. Perkins, of the Cincinnati Times, barbarously invites Anna Dickinson to sit down on her "Crown of Thorns." Blaine keeps crackens in his desk, and after one of his volcanic speeches he tosses them down his throat as though they were wafers. Mullet, the famous ex-supervis- ing architect of the Treasury,, owns- but one house in Washington.. Itfis friends call him a poor man. Left and Damp, the Mountain Meadow murderers, have been ad- ' mitted to bail the former in $20,0001 j and the latter in 15,000. And so ' endeth the farce. A strong effort is being; made by Indians out of the tion. TJnitali Reserva- The amount of treasure stolen from Wells Fargo fc Co. at the stage robbery near Boise City on November 10, 1S75, was S7.06919. Of this amount about $4,000 has been re covered since the capture of the Owyhee robbers. Our Government is kind to the Indians. While all the young Sioux warriors have gone to add Sitting Bull in his fight with thetiroops, they have left their old men and women and children to be cared for, at the Agencies. McKee has turned his property into Government bonds, and the Government will have nothing that it can seize when it comes to bring the civil suits against him. Other Ringites will probably make the same disposition of their ill-gotten gains. The accounts in the papers throughout the country shows that Decoration Day was observed morn generally than ever before, and ths day is growing in popularity as a com mon holiday. June 5th, Story of the Chicago Times commenced the publication of a three-cent daily Evening Telegraph from the Times office ; independent politically and in every other way i in size a seven column folio. t It is reported that orders from military headquarters have been re ceived at the various posts in South ern Arizona, which will probably re sult in the concentration of troops at convenient points, to be prepared to effectually suppress any resistance of the Chirichua Indians to their trans fer to the San Carlos A private letter from Badollet & Co's factory, dated? June 7th, says: "We have reason to believe that Ed. Williams and Johnson, boat puller,, two of our fishermen have been lost,, not having been seen or heard of since Sunday evening, of which you please make not&inyour paper. will ' It has beem asserted that more money was being- expended than re covered by the government in Mr. Bristow's prosecutions-against revenue frauds. This is stated to be a mis take. The outlay thus far- has been only about 25,000, while it is asserted on departmental authority, that the amount secured from seizures, assess ments, fines and forf eitures, aggregates about $3,140,000, of which 600,000 in cash has already found its way to the Treasury. News was received from Neha lem precinct this morning, Tillamook county, to the effect that the vote stood there two to one for Parker, as Representative. We maybe able to get reports from the county to-night, via Portland, as the route across the dhode to Yamhill county is more ac cessible thaiL the route to Astoria; if we do not, there will certainly be something lmae to-morrow that will, enable people; to form conclusions as to the general result of the vote for Joint Representative- The French people were in ear nest when they resolved to construct a colossal bronze statue of Liberty, to be erected in New York Harbor, work has been commenced on the stat ue near Paris. An idea may be form ed of the manitude of its dimen sions when it is stated that the shoul ders are over forfcyfeet broad, and the head twenty-three feet high, from chin to crown. It is also said that a man can easily conceal himself in some of the folds of the drapery. The stat ue, beides being commemorative of the ood will between France and the United States, is to serve as a light house. New York is expected to fur nish the pedestal, but has as yet done nothing' towards its erection.
