The Nehalem valley mail carrier "reports six inches of snow on the Fish liawk mountains. The weather at Astoria yesterda' reminded one of April days more than the days of a rigorous winter. The -steamer EdiUj will make a "special trip to Broukfield to-day, car rying Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Megler -liome. The Parisians have introduced "square umbrellas. They'll be just as 4ad as the other kindnever, round when, it rains. We are pleased to note the fact that the farming community about Astoria come to town as regularly as visual, notwithstanding the freeze. Capt. Reed lias secured a very "favorable charter for his vessel, he .Storm King, now hi this port. He will sail for Callao, via Burrard inlet, with 4i cargo of lumber. The British-ship Allegiance am oved safely m port yesterday, and lias sustained no injuries, in consequence of her little unpleasantness, near the head of Sand island. It will be seen by reference totlie -edvertising columns to-day, that -the new schooner Iionora, Capt. Thomson, will sail for Tillamook, on or about the loth. E. S. Larsen, agent. Capt. J. G. Hustler is troubled with a fearful cold. He cays he has Laid it ever since the Oregon went up the river, and wishes the steamer would come back and take it away. Unless you call at Dement's drug store occasionally you can scarcely im agine what fine things there are in the toilet line at Astoria. He has the nicost lot of brushes, etc. , m the state. The'barkentine Free Trade, which was picked up derelict in Puget Sound some time ego by the barkentine Win. H. Gawloy, and towed into Port Mad ison, has been condemned, and will he sold.

THE EDUCATION QUESTION. The San Francisco Monitor calls attention to the views expressed by the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Melbourne in opposition to secular education, and says theyure substan tially the same as those expressed 03' Rev. Dr. Piatt in his recent remark labe discourse on the public school scandal. The Monitor says: "We are "lad to find the Episcopalian church joining hands with us on this important question, nor has it been without important results, as the re cent issue in Victoria shows." THE BIBLE-JN THE SCJIOOIS. The New York Witness notices with rerret the unsuccessful eiibrfc lately made in Chicago to secure the repeal of the ordinance excluding the Bible and all religious instruction from the public schools, and says: ""Chicago, also, by Iier court of .jus tice, under a partisan d wige, j ustinea the murder of the leading defender of the Bible in the schools at his own door by a furious partisan of the church-of Rome. Till Chicago aven ges the foul murder and effaces the terrible blot of that partisan trial, she must expect great trouble." f AN FRANCISCO MONOPOLIES. 1 The Pacific Evangel administers a cutting reproof to the monopolies in Sun Ifamcisco. which, it savs, are do ing their best to destroy it: "For gas awl water the people are paying imo the pockets of grasping monopolists millions that might be saved; uid our rulers seem determined to give no re lief. These oppressions cannot go on much longer. We would not be much surprised if, in the final redress for persistent wrongs, the men who have perpetrated them under the forms of law would be .compelled to yield up every dime of their ill-gotten wealth." the ritpss and chime. The Pacific Christian Advocate severely censures the habit of the sec ular press in giving the details of crime, and we heartily approve of its suggestion that "it would be quite as e:isy to till our daily papers with moral and religious successes." It antici pates the objection that the supply inu-t be made to meet the demand, and that a paper filled with the re cords of reform societies and revival movements would not. pay, and insists that the press is largely responsible for the taste it supplies, and that it should first create a taste for good food, and then furnish it. OUR EMPTY CHURCHES. The Occident, in a notice of Rev. Mr. Hemphill's sermon on "Our Empty Churches and how to Fill Them," is impressed with the idea that the increasing neglect of the evangeli cal churches, on the. part of the peo ple, cannot ue on account of any pref erence for what is called a more lib- oral or rational t3rpe of religion, since unitarianisui and universalisin flourish even less in this community than or thodoxy, and the Catholic churches are the best filled. Its conclusion is that the mass of the. people will go where their tastes are gratified to "the theaters, beer gardens, sand lots," etc. THE POINT OF DANGER. Bishop Huntington in the New York Churchman says that the point of danger for the church of to-day is not from without, but from within: "The world is not assailing and persecuting the church from without. That would be iv some respects a safer and more wholesome condition. The world is inside. Mammon has taken a pew, perhaps several of them, pays for them, gets elected to the vestry, makes himself necessary to the paj'ing of the rector's salary and the interest on the church debt, sings in the oigan-loft, dulses the tunes and the performers, I dines the parson or dictates to him as j suit the fancy, and looks complacent ly around every Sunday -morning on this submissive establishment." NO SINGING ON SUNDAY. The Christian Imiwn (U. W.Beecher, editor), congratulates the songstress, Miss Minnie Houck on her successful resistance to the demand of her em ployer, Mr. Mapleson. that she should do soiiio singing on Sunday, and is of opinion that her forgytfulness or neg- j lect to state distinctly when she made her engagement with Mr. M. that un-1 der no circumstances would she exer- ; cise her musical gifts on the Lord's day did not make it allowable for him to call upon her for Sunday service.

RELIGION PURE AND UNDEFILED. A writer in the Independent finds authority in the New Testament for defining religion to be purity of heart and benevolence of life, and sajrs: "This is religion. One might go to church a year .and never dream of at.. It is the lack of it in the world which makes a gifted and-generous manlike Robert Ingersoll pi-oclaim the gospel of unbelief. Is it-strange that the most generous men, the greatest wo men, should rise in revolt against the selfish thing doled from so man' pul pits, filtered through so many artificial strata of society, as religion? No mat ter by what name you call the revolt; no matter how extravagant many of its utterarrccs may be, they are not against reliirion pure and undefiled, but the laclfof it." -Supervisors Elected. The commissioners court for Clatsop county appointed supervisors last week as follews: F. C. Reed, upper town; J. Leabry, Klaskanine; S. G. Spear, Clifton; D. E. Pease, Skipanen: W. J. Loomis, Sea-side; D. Heckard, Lewis and Clarke. No news of the departure of .the Idaho, or any other steamship, from San Francisco for Astoria yesterday was received either here or in Port land. Consequently, probably none saileS. Somebody telegraphed from Port land yesterday that four river pilots were wanted m that city. What was wanted of them in case they were there, docs not seem plain, with the Oregon surrounded with twelve feet of ice at Willow bar. -- The subject of Uev.-Mr. "Wolfe's discourse this evening, at the Congre gregational church, invites the atten dance of a numerous audience. In his hands there can be no doubt but that it will be productive of much that will afford attentive aftertheught: "Were, the former days better than these days?" The celestial denizens of the second ward were furiously, inclined yesterday, but from the way "broken china" flew 'about it was nearly all a war of words, though one or two of the Johns came out of the melee with broken noses and a sort of gothic tem ple over their .eyes. -The trouble be hju! because a white man refused to be knocked down by a chinaman while the latter stole his wood pile. We understand that a gang of youngsters whose tender yeara would perhaps save them from prosecution for larceny, have been making a prac tice of stealing wheat from the -Farmers warehouse, in open day-time. The question is: what have they done with the stolen wheat! If any person of mature years has been guilt7 of recokiug this wheat, and the fact can be established, such person should be punished to the extreme limits of law. CUU11CII DUIECTOIIY. M E. Church.
