An 'elegant stock of the finest styles of valentines now open and for Rale cheap at Adlers. The bar was never in better con dition, for vessels to pass out deeply laden, than it was 3Testerday. The Parker House hotel -register shows an increasing travel. TMfine host Parker will soon be compelled to jet a new hotel register. The steamer Idaho came m .last evening from San Erancisco, loaded to the guards with, freight. The pacsen ger list was published on Sunday, m - A large number of maskewill be received at Adlers Monday evening. T?atrons intending to attend "ilie mas querade are invited to call. Our friend Ben Worsley does not feel like one who treads alone any longer, Mrs. W. having returned to cheer the recently deserted halls about liis habitation. Camierymen and business men m general will do well to examine , --. Adler's new stock of Blaiik-books and Stationery which he bought m the IAst and offers at less than Portland priaes. Capt J. Gr. Hustlers wharf has been fixed up in a very strong and "workmanlike manner, and is now again ready for the steamship Great Republic " or any other steamship or sailing vessel which may come along. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce have completed arrangements lor re ceiving commercial dispatches iti ad vance of the mail. They have also purchased a large number of the recent . charts of the Columbia river bar for distrubution. On Friday evening the 14th, a ijrand masquerade will be given at Worsleys hall in this city under the auspices of a committee of young men. One hundred invitations will be issued to the public. Visitors will be per mitted to take part in the dance after the masks are removed. This evening the Astoria fire department will have an active drill. The boys are all proud of their ma chines, and would give, a conflagration a lively time if one happened to come along this way. We hope it may be a long time, Ihowever, before their services will "fee demanded in this particular. We can count on very dull times in the shipping liuerfor the present, and a few months to come, at least. When the City of York and 'Cadzow Forest are cleared ;an'd away, they are now nearly loaded, there will be noth ing in sight for ea except the lumber -Jaden coaster and San Francisco ftteamers. Jack Frost has afft been backward about coming to the front about this vicinity the past few nights, and -every morning f late people have been confronted with a whole region covered by a white rigid coldness, ijuite repulsive to sensitive natures. But as each day is one of bright beautiful sunshine, perhaps the frost 'is preferable to rain though & great many think that rainy weather ix a Tiecessary adjunct to brisk business in vaad .about Astoria. Astoria Chnmber of Commerce. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce have done and are still doing effective work for Oregon best interests 'Com mercially, but there -is still a deal of work to be accomplished. Wo have said so mucL concerning the efforts that are being made by so-called "disinterested" lobbyists to have this collections district reduced to a pdrt of delivery, that we shall say but ltttlo more upon that subject. We feel that what we have said has not been received with that degree of confidence from persons interested most vitally which the facts justify. We are not at liberty to divulge the name of our informant in such cases as this, and it would not add to the truth for us to do so, but we know that the efforts of Astoria's enemies in that direc tion have not ceased in the least, and there is more danger to-day of such an act being accomplished than there was twelve months ago. If the Astoria public can stand it, perhaps we ought not to complain. We can stand it also. But when the thing is done it will be a harder job to right the wrong than it would "be now to prevent its being done. We 'have said all that we shall have to say upon the subject. "Do not postpone until to-to-morrow the things that should be done to-dav." ' A. Guns: of 3Iunderers. Yartkircno and Jackson were safely housed within the walls of the Oregon penitentiary by Sheriff Twilight last evening. As the smelling committees work prevented the Sheriff from tak ing guards with him to insure the safe delivery of these convicts to superintendent Bush, he was obliged to take one at a time from Portland. In reviewing the case of these convicts a blind man ought to see that they belonged to an organized gang of plunderers in Astoria. A gan which probably got away with many a net from the Columbia river last year, which they stole and sent to their countrymen in California. The con viction of Tackireno and Jackson has probably put i damper upon them, and there may be greater security in the future, but at the same time can nerymen rill be obliged to more closely watch a certain class oi fishermen this year. It is true that Yackerino and Jackson are covicted of stealing beef hides, but this was only a side busi ness, Qust conducted for the purpose of filling up the time intervening be tween the closing and the opening of the fishing season. Births at Sea. Three infants were born at sea dur ing the passage of the steamship Idaho to this port. One has since died. The twins were born to the wife of Mr. J. Taylor, one a boy and one a girl. The mother and babes are both doing well. One of the little stran gers, the girl, will be christened Idaho in honor of the ship, and the boy Alexander, in honor of the gallant commander. T3he lady was kindly at tended by Dr. O'Kouke, of the first cavalry. Br. Aug. C. Kinney has returned to the city from his visit to Salem. The Falkinburg arrived at Hono lulu December 4th, the Alden Bessee at Hongkong on the 17th. Mr. Ben Smith, purser of the Idaho, has placed us in possession of full files of San Francisco papers, for which we extend particular thanks. A man stepped into the Astoria Market yesterday morning and called for a steak. The affable clerk inquir ed what Bort of a steak would suit him. What kind have yyoc? asked the customer. "All kinds," was the response. "Then givo tee a .stake to get home oni" was the retort. "By George;" Eat-on, replied, "I can't see it in that light, you're wanted at the Occident." This reminds us of tl story told of The Dalles butcher, who was called upon for 15 cents worth of steak. It was duly cut off for him; then he called for liver; "what's the price of liver," said the patron. Oh we as notnmsf or liver, take it along; then I will leave the steak, said the I icxiow, ana he walked off to make a I meal of the liver. The Dalles Jbutcher AROUND THE CITY. . . .
