No Astorian' to-morrow. - Greenbacks are gold to-day. This is the resumption date. The hour has been changed for the Baptist Sunday School from 12 at. to 2 p. m., until further notice. - The Portland steamer day before yesterday turned back from the mouth of the Wallamet, and came down through the slough. The Ordway was at Kalama waiting for the steamship Geo. "W. Elder op. the 30th, when the Port land boat passed down. Rev. Mr. Parker, Rector of Grace (Episcopal) church, is absent from the city for a few days only. He expects to return for services at the church as usual on Friday evening. Day before yesterday navigation suspended between Portland, and the Cascades. The Emma Hayward backed out, and went home again, from the mouth of the Wallamet. Mr. Thomes of the Cannery of Leveridgc & Prindle, Bay View, intended to spend New Years at the Dalles, but luckily he altered his mind, and is now at Astoria. The revenue cutter Thomas Cor win arrived from the interior last night. She reported the Elder in Portland. The Great Republic was below St. Helens. The mail boat came through, making most of her land ings. SuuDort home institutions. This has always been our motto. Let us all encourage it if we would succeed. What profit is it to Oregon if we send 10,000 a year away from the Colum bia annually, for oil clothing which can be made at home. See the new advertisement to-day "Wanted," men to patronize tho Astoria oil clothing manufactory. Send us Samples As an aid to show what may be pro cured along the line of the proposed narrow gauge railway, from Salem to Astoria, we will esteem it a favor if persons living along the line will send us samples of coal, iron and other minerals, for exhibition, giving partic ulars as to locality. Murdered for His Money. Some time ago a San Francisco pa per contained an account of the body of a man having been picked up in that vicinity somewhere upon whose person was a letter addressed to John Burke. We gave the item nothing more than a passing glance, and now the conclusion is forced upon us that John Burke of Clatsop plains has been murdered for his money. He left here some time in September to go east and bring out a daughter from Washington city He had a check for $300 and a considerable sum in coin besides. The check was drawn by I. W. Case, and was paid in San Francisco on presen tion. The coin was sewed up in his garments. He has never reached Washington, and a dispatch from his daughter this week confirms the sus picion. He owned a place near Skipanon, and was a highly respected citizen. CIIL'RCJI DIRECTORY. M. K. Chubch. Services held in tho Congre gational, Kev. T. J. Wolfe, Pastor, at 11 o'clock 1. v.

Approved Juno -i, 187S. 35'Skilled mechanical and profes sional labor is in abundance in this state. We can spare a whole army of clerks, salesmen and Micawbers who are starv ing because they are not fitted, or will not labor in the field that offers them, a living, Now is the time to invest in lands and to settle on them. Eallroads are opening all over the state, and there is a fair showing of an increase in the value of land, no matter where located. Farmers are what we want, and not more tradesmen ; agriculturists, not ad ditional professors; tillers of the soil, and not an increased army of clerks. The country is healthy, both morally and physically, and there is value in land that is not affected by the rise and fall of stocks. S-A contemporary says : A news paper and a newspaper editor that peo ple don't talk about and sometimes abuse are rather poor concerns. The men and business that an editor some times feels it a duty to defend at a risk of making enemies of another class, are often the very first to show ingratitude. The editor who expects to receive much charity orgratitude will soon find out his nitstake; but he should go ahead and sav and do what hp prmspipnt innd,. j thinks right witliput regard to frowns or smiles. r fe K -l V u aF ...
