This hook is well worth the price asked for it, and no library will he complete without it We have previous ly referred to it, and simply allude to it now, as ten minutes perusal of the pros pectus and advance sheet in the hands of the agent is enough to satisfy any fi erson as to ttie value ana correctness of he work. Dr. Aug. C. Kinney is in Port land on business. The Costa Rican ship Herman has arrived at Port TownsonS. from 'Callao. The barkentine Wdbfodt arrived r.t San Francisco on the 27th, from Svnappton. - The bark Garibaldi is loaded and Teady for sea. Her cargo consists of lumber and spars for Australia. You can get shaved by the month, week, day, or hour, atSBackensto's." Boot-blackJBlways on "hand. The last'lot oT postage stamps re ceived at Astoria are very badly mucllaged. They wont tick equal to a tinkers-dam. Mrs. Sadie Wright, formerly of this city, -was marrieU-at the St. Char les in .Albany New Years eve, to Mr. M. C. Cunningham. Humes new caiinery at Astoria will be made serviceable, as it is strong Jy built, as a grain depot after the fishing season is over next fall. Cannen'men and business men in general will do well to examine "culler's new stack 'of Blanlt-bool;s and Stationery which he bought in the East and offers ttt less than Portland prices. , V When a stranger calls upon you and represents himself to be the agent of any newspaper, be certain that his credentials are good before you pay him any money. A word to the wise ought'to be sufficient Wells, Fargo & Co., and other commercial banks of San Francisco have combined to oppose the state bank commissioners "inspection' which is only another name for smel ling around to see what can be .found out concerning the private affairs of individuals. The revenue law requires a cigar dealer to totally destroy the revenue stamp on the cigar box -when it is emptied of its contents, and a heavy penalty is imposed for willful neglect .to do so. It is also the duty of a reve nue officer to destroy any empty box on which the stamp has not been de stroyed. - Judge Davidson has. rduirned from Westportj where he has been engaged on the construction of a new residence for Capt. John West. The house was finished, furnished and occupied so quick after the beginning of it, that it was some surprise to us. It is 2G by 3G feet in size, two stories high, -with a wing 22 by 2i feet, and wood shed and wash house 13 by 30. The main building is hard finished, grained and varnished throughout, -'xndnpresents a veryihandsome appearance. T ifce Tax Payers of the City f Astoria. On the 28th inst. papers were filed in the Circuit court in this coimty, in the case of the state of Oregcffi'cc rcl, W. W. Parker, Mayor, vs. -John H. D. Gray, for intruding into and usurping the office c mayor of the city of Astoria. This action has grown out of the late proceedings of the common council against the mayor. - As tlie present Status of the gov ernmei of the city is unsettled in the minds of the people, and attorneys differ -as to he legality of all proceed ings of the council under the present condition of affairs, a decision at this term of court on the right of the coun cil to depose and remove the mayor is demanded by many citizens and tax payers of Astoria. If the council or Capt. J. H. D. 'Gray refuse to go into court at this term and have this question determined at once, all good citizens, and -particularly the tax payers of this city, should in quire into the reason of their refusing, while at the same time they are hold ing special meetings and involving the reputation of the city, and endanger ing its material interests. A very proper question to ask is: Who is to pay all the expenses if these matters continue? Citizen. Mow to Hemit Money Orders. Most of our readers will doubtlessj smile at the above caption, as rf it were hardly possible among our nu merous readers to find one who would need to be told what to do -with a money order. A case lately came under our own observation, however, in which a party had kept a money order in his pocket for several months, under the impression that it was a receipt from the postmaster for his money, and that the postmaster would see that the money was forwarded. Such an incident on 'being nrepeatedj led to comparison with the experience of others, and 'we heard of a case where a man was found holding sev eral money orders in the same way for remittances, which die supposed he had properly made, and for which he was being, as he supposed, most un warrantably dunned. As most of our readers already know, the money order purchased is made out and given to the purchaser, whose duty it is to remit it himself. We .presume the idea of its being a receipt tfor him to hold, origiuated through .confounding money orders with registered letters. Hobort !l3urdette, snow bound in Utica, telegraphed as follows to Her kimer, where he was to have lectured: The Burlington man came outof the west In a swallow-tail coat and cut-away vest, But he said, 'I conjecture There 's .snow chance for a lecture ;" So his overworked chin had a rest. The "statesman" from Yamhill, (Wm. Galloway), writes to inform Mr. James Walton, of Salem, that he "will gladly correct" any reflections made upon him in the smelling committee report. Gov. Thayer intimates, in his reply to Capt. Apperson of Oregon city, that the investigation was .con ducted on the grand jury system. The bottom will entirely fall out of the whole contemptible proceedings ! long before the nrime mover in it rpfq o- to the United States senate. No -matter what may come, some one is continually growling about hard times, but, 'from what can be gleaned from the journals of the state, they are even fair at this writing. There 'has been a quickening of trade .for a month m nearly all branches of bus iness, and -consequently, s. need for more hands. Railroad repair and construction Is necessitating the em ployment oT extra men, and the far mers will -soon be in need of much help. Comparatively speaking, the -tinus -never have been hard in Oregon. To Whom it aray Concern. FiX??

THE GREAT HOG A"ND "REGION. CORN THE SNOW, MERCURY, AND BLOCKADED RAILWAYS. PRICES OF PRODUCE TAXES,; AND DULL PROSPECTS AHEAD. shkiekages in real estate, and dull sales. CLING TO YOUR HOMES IN ORE GON AND WASHINGTON, SPECIAL TO THE ASTORIAK. Wyoming, III., Jan. 15. Here I am in the great hog and corn country, and such grunting and squeeling, it is fearful. The pigs squeel with the cold winter weather, mercury standing most of the time -at 12 Mow zero, and part of the time at 26 below since my arrival, with about eighteen inches of snow, .and to-day it is snowing aFli most fearful rate. The snow com menced 1a fall about midnight last night, and at this time, 12 o'clock if., some the railroads are reported blocked. People are complaining at the prices of .produce; corn 23 cents per bushel, hogs at $2 50 per hundred pounds, and taxes fully one dollar per acre. Surely the prospects are not flattering. Farming lands which were reafly sale five years ago at $G0 per acre wllnot bring $40 now, and will have to go still lower. The appearance is that the railroad companies are the only parties that are making money. I am -sure that the people of the Mississippi -valley have to perform at least one third more labor to obtain a livelihood than the peqple of the Pacific coast. I would say, by way of advice to those who are "dissatisfied with their homes in Oregon and Washington territery: "Cling to them," at least do not re turn to this rigid climate, the Missis- Mnpp vanley. .Hoping this may tmd tvou enjoying health and happiness, I am yours, etc., T. B. The Good.SMpT. HI. Seed. Messrs. Greggtlfc Co. advertise that the good ship T. M. Reed would "fal low the Tabor on the ToeriJh at Phila delphia for Astoria. The "OFLeed has been Inst, and the New York Herald furnishes us with the following partic ulars: The American ship Thomas M. Reed, Capt. Small, from 'San Fran cisco for Liverpool, went ashore in the breakers m Freshwater bay, mear Lin nyhead, January 12th. The sea was running very high at the time, and although the rocket apparatus was soon on the spot, great difficulty was experienced in getting a line on board. The crew were in a very dangerous position, but by means of the line twenty of the men were saved. Three men had unfortunately been washed overboard and drowned. Lloyds' ragent proceeded to the scene of the wreck, and is saving all the cargo that comes ashore. This consists mainly of boxes of canned meat and fish. The sands for more than a mile are strewn with parts of the cargo and broken spars. The amount of salvage will be large. The ship has already become a total wreck. A yauht in the service of Trinity house has been sent for. and was 'hourly expected at the time our dispatch left Milford. The Thomas M. Reed left San Fran cisco. September 25th, and made the woyago m safety to within about one 'hundred miles of her port. She was built at Bath, Maine, in 1S77, where she was owned. She registered 1507 tons. What we Likk.
