Some of the stock of improved mutton sheep on Xlaskanine farm iiave been disposed of to the Washing ton market. - Ex-Judge Frank J. Taylor and Jirenham Yan Busen, returned from a very successful robin hunt yesterday. 'They killed 14 dozen that are nice for jot-pies. Spring salmon have been caught tit Brookfield and at upper Astoria this month. The one caught at Brook field caught itself in Sam Oliver's scow. Mr. John H. Larsen of Tillamook county arrived dn the city yesterday. .He is over on a flying visit a liorse back. He is well jdeased with the prospect ahead -in that portion of the country. There are more numerous swans on the river this winter than for many years past. On Sunday last at least two hundred were seen in one flock between Astoria and Brookfield. Referring to the Puget sound barnacle sent to San Franckco, the Alta says: "Zt weighed one tpound six ounces, 'but that is nothing. Come around to the Exchange any time, and we can show you numbers ofold barnacles who weigh all the way from 150 to 300 pounds. Call around. The exhibition will be free and permanent." Postmaster Cole of Portland de serves to be removed for maladminis tration in his office, but the Oregonian J feels it incumbent upon itself to do .fend Cole and abuse Mr. Mitchell, probably "from the fact that one of the charges agiins Colo is the distruc tion of Mitchell's speech, mailed to citizens of Portland. The Oregonian is a healthy old newspaper; isn't it. Mr. J. 32. Lyon is again in this part of thecountry after a absence of ubout'two years, half of which time die put in prospecting for ths'iiorthpole by land, and half at the fishing busi ness on Frazer river. His headquar ters now are at Ladner's landing, B. C, at which place Mr. James A. Laidlaw, formerly of this city, is now employed. , Boarders at ihe Occident are nat urally inclined to be a little jealous at th extra attentions paid to Count Hansen. Yesterday morning his table .was serped. with ons potato which weighed four ibs., baked, sif Han&sn .can't put up with the average-sized potatoes that come onto the table it ought to be talten as an evidence of the fact "that he didn't .come from .Hamburg or Bremen. , .. Treasnrc Production. We are indebted to Mr. A. "Van Dusen, Wells. Fargo & Co.'s agent at Astoria, for a copy of the annual statement of treasure products made up by John J. Yalentine, general superintendent of Wells, Fargo & Co's express business on this coast The total value of the gold, silver and lead product for the j'car amounts to $81, 154,622, of which sum Oregon contrib uted 1.213,724; Washington territory $73 311. The figures show a decrease over the preceding year, and it is esti mated thai the production for the cur year will be still less, and will not greatly exceed $70,000,000. " Sea-Sickness. Of the many annoyances to which the traveling public is subject at a particular season sea-sickness is, per haps, the most distressing. A perfect cure for this malady would rob ocean travel of llf its terrors. No drug, however, has been discovered 'which acts as a specific. The cause of the sickness is largely if not wholly due to the involuting and unexpected motion to which the passenger is subjected on board ship. These cause undue pressure upon the stomach and liver, and derange the action of those or gans. To prevent this, attention has recently been called to an old plan which is said to be very successful. It consists in regulating the act of breathing according to the pitching or rolling of the vessel, drawing in the breath as she rises, and breathing out as she falls into the trough of the -sea. After a little experience the practice, it is said, becomes involuiftary. When sea-sickness has" fairly set in, the only thing to be done is to get rid of the extra bib thrown into the circula tion, ano to allay the irritation of the stomach. Mr. J. G. Megler will soon have an excellent dairy ranch at Brookfield. He has made remarkable progress with his improvements; it is quite a sur prise to visitors. He will be prepared to keep 100 head of cows in another year. The Alta says: "There was some individual, evidently a fugitive, who sailed on the ship Panmnr (bound for Queenstown) on the 4th inst. He paid $1000 for his passage. This is &ll we know more we cannot tell; but in all probability we -will here of tliis vessel putting into a South Ameri can port, as as predecessor did, and landing the individual. " Who was he? The Standard says that J. B. Congle that old pioneer merchant, after a respite of a few months for refresh ment and sleep, steps again into the harness, or rather the harness, sad dlery and general leather furnishing trade in Portland. By square and lion eat dealing he has established a reputation which will draw large cus tom. The 8th of January 1S79 will be remembered m San Francisco, in consequence of a lively "norther." I It commenced at 1 a. m., and kicked up quite a sea. The sloop Alice Sto fen went ashore on north beach, but got off without much damage. The sloop YA . B. J. ;dso went ashore at north beach, where she still remains. The floating baths were tossing and tumbling about at a great rate, and any one in that vicinity could liave had a bath gratis. The steamer Alex. Duncan was considerably chafed at Eureka dock. The ships America and St. John Smith were also chafed slightly at Front street, and at this dock the barkentine Modoc and schooner Ivanhoe collided, the lat ter carrying away her main boom, and the Modoc being slightly damaged. The Ivanhoe vas towed out cleaT by the tug Favorite, andhe Modoc -went to sea. v-J?l,SRentleiiien and lafiicswho read this article, do not consider your selves nrenared tn ontnr i.,,o- ,,f-i aigSS?ISk.S5: ...,. !..";. ...
