The Light house steamer .ShubricK '.sailed for the north yesterday from this )ort. 2OT.r,LKj. Several notable persons tire registered at the Occident. Mine Iiftsts Metier & Wright understand how to make them feel at home. Cattle Shipment. The Pacific Coat .Steamship company's steamer .inula Cruz carrier away a ear.no of Ore gon beef cattle for the San Francisco 3'ai'lcet Stkam Fini: Exeixi: Tin at.. The new steam fire engine which hxs just leeii added to the Astoria fire depart ment, was playing lively nearly all day yesterday. She is being pul in fine working order by an engineer from the department of Portland. Cod Fish i.v Dn.K.-The. British schooner Pato arrived from the cod-fish "kinks of the north yesterday with 2:5.000 iine cod-fish on board, under sealed thatches. This is a valuable cargo, and Astoria is the place to take them out and prepare them for the markets, cither by drying or canning. Taxes Easy. If everybody had kept their county orders, to pay taxes would le an easy matter, but a county order merchant has bought them all up at a !icounr. The obliging clerk, Col. 11. It. Speddeai, had his hands full issuing or dcrs for some time after the county com missioners went home. Ix Victoria. We are informed that Col. JoIhi Adair is in Victoria, expected home soon. Mr. S. 1). Adair, who has been engaged at the New Westminster tannery for several months past, where lie has a valuable interest, will also he at his home in Astoria in time to enjoy the holiday season, now so rapidly ap proacliing. KEMAKiv-able. Yesterday a lady cus tomer at J. W. Gearhart's store remarked that a man who carried such a fine stock of crockery, and glass ware, ought to be a married man. The county treasurer smiled as he replied that "perhaps if he was a married man he would if t be able to keep such a fine stock." Periodicals. The magazines at hand for October, (Harper's always good; St Nicholas, interesting alike to the old and the young; and Scrihncfs which is becoming one of the standards) all seem to be more than usually inter esting to us,it or is because times are ge. ting so dull that we have more leisure for the perusal of books, that make them seem so companionable? We believe they are really better than of old. Close Economy. People who do not keep shingles stored in a locality popu lar for loafing, know nothing about the expense attending the supply of the ar my of whittlers. To prevent the des truction of bunches by the jack-knife brigade, we observe that the owner of a Jot near the house of steam fin1 engine No. 3, on Capt. Flavel's dock has care fully laid a nice shingle loosely on the top of the bunches, marked '-'this is for whitters; spare the tin straps on the bundles." Oregon Goods. While in Portland last week we paid the Brownsville Woolen factory company's depot a call, oiii First street, near the Central Market. We found Bro. David Dalgleish up to his eyes m the finest fabrics made of 'wools in this or any other country. If you want the very best of family blanket take none but Brownsville goods, and if your dealer does not keep them tell him to send for a few samples such as the extra size, bound, and No. I extra family blanket.

Mr Peter Wilhelni has permanently fitted up a ship-master's reading room in con nection with the Gem saloon in Astoria The latest .-.hipping papers and home ward and outward bound shipping lists are kept on file. Call and see him. Xew Collector. The new collector of customs for the Sitka district has ar rived on the coast. If we are not greatly mistaken he will want to return home before he takes charge of that position. Our friend Harvey is yet in Sitka at tending to the affairs of this dear democratic-republican government, but with out the power to protect his own life from scurvy Indians, while Maj. Berry, the late incumbent, rests upon his dying bed in a British hospital at Victoria. Verily Alaska is a curse to Uncle Sam. as the purchase has been mismanaged by the departments in "Washington. Whooping Cough. It is some years since Letzerich affirmed that whooping cough was due to a special fungus. The assertion has been lately confirmed by the researches of Tschamer. In the spit tle of children who are suffering from the cough, there are little corpuscles, about the size of a pin's head, of a white or yellowish color, which pass through a series of characteristic changes, and which seem to be identical with fungi which are found on the peel of orange apples and some other fruit-. By inoc ulating rabbits with these fruit fungi, and by causing men to inhale thein. Tschamer produced convulsive coughs of many days duration, with all the characteristics of whooping cough. Burning Garuage The process of cremation. says the American Architect, suggests a means to solve the serious question, what shall be done witli the street refuse and garbage. An analysis of collection-5 from thirteen representa tive districts give the following average results: Water. :j.o:2 per cent.: nitro gen, 0.:K) per cent. : combustible mate rial, 28.-t.4 per cent.; incombustible ma terial, tiSJiU per cent. Prof. Chandler, President of the Board of Health, sug gests a system of garbage cremation in furnaces similar to those in the manu facture of shell-lime. It is said that 200 tons of refuse and garbage can be crema ted and rendered innocuous in 24 hours. Such a system would involve le.ss cost than conveying it to deep water, and be far more consistent with the demands of civilization and public safety. The Uses of the Lemon. Few peo ple know the value of lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound on a corn will cure it in a few days; it should be renew ed night and morning. A free use of lemon juice and sugar will alwajs re lieve a cough. Most people feel poorly in the spring; but if they would eat a lemon before breakfast every day for a week, with or without sugar, as they like, they would find it better than any medicine. Lemon juiceused according to this recipe will sometimes cure con cen con sumpteon: Put a dozen lemons into cold water and slowly bring to a boil ; boil slowly until the lemons are soft, but not too soft, then squeeze until all the juice is extracted: add sugar to your taste, and drink. In this way use a doz en lemons a day. If they cause pain, or loosen the bowels too much, lessen the quantity and use only five or six a day un til you are better, and then bejrin again with a dozen a day. After using 'live or six dozen.the patient will begin to gain flesh and enjoy food, Holdon to the lemons, and still use them very freely several weeks more.

The fact is too well organized now that only those houses which advertise judi ciously prosper, ond only thoc pull through the hard time.- successfully which keop their names and ware constant!' before the public eye. The experience of every intelligent and educate I business man is clear upion this point, and hence the columns of a newspaper, especially in what are called "dull t.mes," will yive the roster of the busings r.wa of a pTace who may be relied upon as intelligent, prudent and enterprising.

We owe Mrs. Dunniway an apology for not sooner acknowledging receipt of her most excllent book "David and Anna Matson," which is very interest ing, nicely printed, and besides its usefulness, would be an ornament upon any lady's table. "We copy from the preparatory remarks to readers "When Tennyson awoke the "Nine, And bade them sing around the shrine Ilebuikled in the sylvan bowers, "Whence Helicon all grandly towers, And sent them forth to chant a lay, Whose plaintive strains shall live for aye, Their echoes answering to the core Of human hearts, a million score, I little recked that I should dare To climb the trackless realms of air, Anil risk great Clio's classic ire, Or, trembling, touch proud Erato's lyre. Presumptuous dreamer, vain, am I, To dare attempt rarnasus' heights, My Pegasus untrained and shy, My Muse unnerved to lofty nights ; But there be hearts that choose to sing, Albeit their lays are lowly ones, That only to their authors bring Compassion from Fame's favored sons, I've penned my sad and simple song, And to my Muse lend heart and ear, Because I deprecate a wrung That serves those whose hearts are dear Rich unto each ; whose lives are one, Though far apart their channels run. If I but rouse the reader's heart, To vibrate to Compassion's dart, Or start a sypathetic tear, Prom eyes w here Love hath banished Fear, Or cast onn ray of light, serene. Athwart one path where sorrows keen So long o'er Hopes-deferred have brooded That earthly joys are all corroded, I care not who shall blame or praise. Or who shall claim the wreath and bays. A. S. D. Portland, Oregon, Nov. l, 1876. In "The New Penelope," Mrs. Frances Fuller Victor, always a favor ite with Oregon readers, has presented a very pretty and a very interesting book. It is seldom that we are capti vated by a story book, but Ave must confess that last week Mrs. Victor turned us out pf the customary groove, and we have enjo3'ed several hours of genuine delight in perusing the pages of her new book. In order to give readers a better understanding of what this holiday present is made up, we publish the table of contents entire, with the xreaceJ as follows. Mrs. Victor says: "This collection consists of sketches of Pacific coast life, most of which have appeared from time to tim in the Over kind Monthly and other western maga zines. If they have a merit, it it. because thev picture scenes and characters hav ing'the charm of newness and original itv, such as belong to border life. "'The poems embraced in the collect ion have been written at all period of mv life, and therefore cannot be called peculiarly western. But they embody ieelings and emotions common to all hearts, east or west ; and as such. I ded icate them to mv friends on the Pacific coast, but most especially in Oregon." STORIES.

H. Ritchie and W. F. Zambro, while crossing one of the California Water company's flumes on the new South Fork ditch, two weeks ago, saw an enormous bear in an angle of the flume, walking on the foot board and coming toward them. Zambro had a two-barreled shot gun loaded with buckshot, and two dog3 were be hind them. A fight was inevitable. The bear came on his hind legs toward Kitchie, and when the man was almost within the brute's hug Zambro fired and knocked the animal off the flume, Hitchie jumped off and, picking up a piece of scantling, began to pound his bearship on the head. A back blow of the scantling brained one of the dogs which had come to Ritchie's aid. Then the bear, only slightly wounded, gave Ritchie a rough and tumble fight, although harras3ed by the remaining dog. Meanwhile Zambro had man aged to climb into a tree, carrying his gun. He fired the remaining barrel, missed the bear, narrowly missed Ritchie, and killed the dog. Seeing his critical situation, Ritchie got out of the bear's embraces and by a des perate efibrt pushed the animal over a bluff forty feet high. The fall killed the animal. When dressed it weighed 784 pounds. Through the right ear was a bullet hole made by some hun ter. Ritchie lost coat, vest, panta loos, shirts, and mosic of his hair. Church. Directory.

The people of Oresron are not burned up four months in hummer and rrozen or noured in six months in winter, nor mil lions of property wept away in a night by overwhelming floods and devastating hur ricanes, as they frequently are in the eastern and western states of the union. They do not live in fear of being carried to untimely graves in hundred by the summer fevers that prevail in the South ern states, nor of hemp overwhelmed by earthquakes that visit California pvery two or three yeurs, nor yet by it? floods evory filth or tenth year, not dried up by its drouth evory third or fourth year. The summer diseases so destructive to human life among children in the Atlantic states are almost unknown in Oregon. Oregon offers great attractions t. those in .-earch of new homes, to-wit: Healthy and attractive diversity of surface. Grand -cenery and mild climate. No excessive cold or heat. Average temperature, sum mer, o7, winter 39. Thunder-storms very rare, hurricanes- unknown. Death rate lower in Oregon than In any other State, east or we-t. Soil of unsurpassed fertility, especially suited to cereals, fruits, flax, hops, and hay. No failure of crop3 in Oregon for thirtj years from any cau.-e. No droughts, as in California. Great abundance of the finest fruit. Slock-raia-ing very profitable. As a farming country Oregon is not surpassed by any part of the Union. The love of life, the desire for health and passion for wealth, are thn-e of the strongest laws that operate in the breast ol the human family. "Wherever life enn be most prolonged, health best secured, and wealth mnt easily acquiied, then the tide of emigration and population is as sure to flow as the nei-die points to tho north pole. It is the erowinp knotr'.dcfft ; that all thic is true of Oregon that it? cau- :iig it to attract co much puuuc attention and draw -o many farmers, emigrant?, tourist and capitalists to come and enjoy and pro lit by them.
