The bark Rival arrived .it San iKrancisco on the 1st. The Webf oot, Rohei t Lees, and Wastwaier are ready for sea to-da3T. -- The mail boat from Portland got "through to Astoria all right yesterday. jtrrivhig at 6 r. if. -?- The Ordway arrived yesterday morning from Portland and started jimck with, the barge Monarch in tow. There will be preaching at the Congregational church this (Wednes day) evening by the pastor. Zi'lr. Lewis, of NehaJem valley has sent ns a beautiful specimen of the fruit produced in that section of Clat- county. - The H. L. Tiernan sailed from San Francisco on the 11th for Shoal- water hay. and the schooner Enterprise will sail to-dny also. The Oregon Steamship company, hikL also the Pacific Steamship com- 3pany have -advanced passage to and fnotn San Francisco. -,-. 2ft - The Robert Lees is laden with Hour principally from the Salem mills. The Statesman says the same company will load the Oban Bay. The mountains within sight of Astoria, and the hill sides bordering the river, as far as can be traced by the ejTe, show that a heavy fall of snow has lately occurred. On the 10ths Senator Mitchell introduced a bill providing for the ap propriation of 50,000 to carry on the work of improving tks bar at the mouth of the Columbia river. There was so much ice in the river yesterday that the steam tug Columbia concluded not to try- to force her way to Portland against such great odds for wear and tear. Win. Strong, Fred R. Strong and T;hos. N. Strong, have formed a co partnership for the practice of their profession under the name and style of Win. Strong.fc Son. Diphtheria still rages at Walla Walla, Pendleton, La Grande, and m fact, everywhere. From all quarters of the globe comes the doleful seund: "Death, diphtheria." The British ship Caitlock is taken at 35s to XJ. K. , and the British ship Hannah Landles to load Walla Valla wheat at an -advance -report scys of 3s, but we .are unable to learn the par ticulars. The Multnomah -movement for a district fair hasatlast assumed definite shape, the articles of incorporation luiving been filetl. The incorporators are A. Duelling, H. Hanson, A. F. stiller and Edward Lonr. We are informed that upon the arrival of the steamship Idaho in Portland, to-day, purser H. Sonnen feld, who has filled that position to the satisfaction of the public in the past, will disconnect himself from the steamer, and join the firm of H. Ack erman & Co "We regre to part with Jrim oix this line, but shall hope to meet him frequently in-PortlanxL He jsa P. B. - jL Scandalous Libel. In the course of remarks upon the ice blockade, the movements of tho steamship Oregon, etc., the Standard has this grosly libelous paragraph up on Asteria: Should the steamer be compelled to remain at Astoria she must furnish board for the passengers; as their tickets call for their delivery at Port land and will be very expensive. And it is not only the expense, is we are informed upon reliable authority that the stock of Hour and meat at Astoria is very limited ami cannot hold out long. The expected decline in the beef market w;is the cause of the limited supply, and the stock of flour, at no time laige, is now smaller than usual. From indications, the end is not yet of the blockade and we may expect to hear of the people of Astoria, the passengers on the steamer, and six or eight ships, going on short rations, as the ships stores which are mostly purchased in this city; had not been engaged. We are quite certain that the Stand ard would not maliciously publish such statement as this, nevertheless, when taken in connection with the facts, it is not only an injury to the port of Astoria, which is as abundant ly supplied as Portland, at all times, if not more se: but is a direct insult to a very large class of readers and friends of the Standard here. The Astoria incrclnnts and business men are prepared at anytime to supply the civtirc wants of any one or all of the Oregon Steamship company's steam ship at any time, for the round trip to San Francisco or Portland, also airy number of vessels, or ships, but they will not submit to any deductions on account of "commissions" to any person in any li j of vessois whatever, believing it to be the curse of trade in any city where tho system is tolerated. In this connection we have been permitted to quote from a private let ter from one of the leading meat dealers in Portland the following ex tract: "Tho butchers here are hav ing rough time getting cattle. All the cattle up the valley and around the bottoms are poor, and good cattle will bring three cents gros3, now. I think -the river will soon open and relieve us. T ihhiV we can get good cattle oast of t!.- mouritains yet. I shall go tp Tho Jalies on the first boat" The letter in mi which the above is ah extract was written at Portland on the Stli. Then, is no scarcity of first class beef cattle in this vicinity the best on the Pacific coast. IV. X. Castle's Affairs. Referring to the defalcation or W. N. Castle, who suicided at the jail door in Astoria, a San Francisco paper says: 'Castle has been a resident of San Jose for the past ten years, and has hitherto borne a good reputation, being industrious and enterprising. He has been twice elected to the office cf city- clerk and assessor. C;is tle's bonds as assessor show that he is delinquent to the payment of 1,903, ! collected by him on personal property assessment, for which receipts were given, the stubs of which are in Lotz's possession. It appears that Castle was behind hand $000 a year ago, but as he paid it up before the treasurer , made his annual settlement, nothing was said of it. Treasurer Lotz dis covered the deficiency early in Novem ber and told Castle that he must wake up the amount at once, which he promised from time to time to do, but failed." The Centcrvitle mills Fire. Referring to the destruction of Mr. Trullhtger's mills in Centerville, the Hillsboro Independent says: There had been considerable trouble and liti gation between the owner of the mills and other parties, who had been dam aged by overflow caused by the mill dam. The persons aggrieved had won the suits in the courts, and the offend ing dam had been cut down, so that, leaving out their good name, it is not j to be believed that they had any thing to do with the burning. There is much suspicion, but no. clue to the in cendiary, -and these suspicions maybe unfounded and imjusfc. If it was the werk: f an incendiary, it was very boldly done almost incredible." The San Francisco News-sa3s the Costa Bican fihin TJormrmn flnnf Perks, which sailed from Callao on the oth ult. is for Puget sound to load With lumber. CZlno, AV H, 'q .InmiUr f-saya Columbia river, Oregon. Reported Ieifclx of air. Ball. From a Portland, Oregon, dispatch of the oth, published in the S. F. Call on the 6th, we quote the follewing: tfA. H. Ball, of the firm of Ball & Piatt, contractors on the United States canal and locks at the Cascades diedsuddenly at that place yesterday. As the river is closed, the remains can not be brought down for some time. Mr. Ball came from New York a few months ago. He has been a lare government contractor for some vears. He leaves a family." "We have not received the above report in any Port land paper. We sincerely hope that it is 'untrue. "An Oasisiin the Desert.' The Boe says: "It is a relief to glance at an honest mans picture, that of Hon. L. L. Rowland, late state superintendent of public instruc tions. This photograph, life-like and natural, taken by Davidson Bros., may be seen in the window of Morse's palace. According to the report of the investigating committee, Mr. Rowland is the only honest member of the late defunct and dishonest stale j administration, "an oasis in the desert" of fraud, it is a source of grati fication to know that in all this putrid mass of fraud, embezzlement and cor ruption, there was one honest man, and he afSimon-purc, solid republican. Oil CI elf tin: We understand that 5r. 'Win. jMcCormick will leave this city to-day upon business connected with the Astoria Shirt and Oil Clothing factory, corner of Squemoqhe and Hamilton streets. We hope that his mission will be rewarded by extensive orders for oil clothing, as he is now pre pared to fill all orders that may be given to the factory. This is the be ginning of an important enterprise for Astoria, It is said that the Columbia river oil clothing trade amounts to between $10,000 and15,000 annually, for fishermen alone. If this money can be saved to the country it will be a very important item. Mrs. Mc Comiiek has supplied a portion -of this for sevoral years past, and her work jias aiways ruuouimuaucu iusciu yl will do so this year. ' The British ship -Allegiance is wanted in Poland by her master, who went yfp by the river boat on Monday. The charter will expire to day unless the vessel reports there by a certain hour The steamer Wonder is on the way down after her. Maj. C. H. Page and Prof. A. Meachen of this city have been admit ted by the Supreme court to practice in the courts of Oregon. Prof. Meachen has associated himself with Gen. 0. F. Bell, as will be seen by card elsewhere. Major Page expects to enter upon the practice of his profession at an early date. James Kazerta Mdrcer, sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years, has been furnished with an easy job. He has been appointed to the position of horse collar staffer. During his idle time he will dive down into Blackstoue and Greenleaf, and when his term expires will come out fully fitted for congress. We are informed by Capt. B. F. Stevens, who returned from San Fraii- cisco yesterday l?3r the steamship Idaho, the steamer Great Republic has been drawn off the route for two months, bo as to allow a complete overhauling of the boiler and machinery. But as we understand it, that the agent in Portland knows nothing- of this move ment; and the telegraph yeserday says she will sail -for Portland -from San Francisco, probably on the ISth. in company with the Elder. Mr. .f. Stewart, stone and marble cutter of Astoria will guarantee satis faction to all orderingwork of him,.and will do a better job for less money than anv outside workman. His work in Uie vemetery here should besufiicientrecom uii'iirlMtinn.
