By shipping through Astoria he can haul two tons at a load, with a team of horses; whereas, when he skips through his oun warehous.? it uikas two men nearly as long to ship one roll. This leather which goes to Nebraska has heens"ki upon samples, and it is guar anteed to be better leather than airy ia that country at prcsenl.

This evening the grand event of the season will take place at Metropolitan hall, and we bespeak for the manager a full house, and for all those who at tend a most splendid time. Good music has been engaged, and nothing has been left undone that can add to the enjoyment all.

Bible Riddle, or tb "Wanderfal Propnet. He is not Noah, nor Noah's son, J nor a .Levite, nor John the Baptist, nor yet the wandering Jew, for he was with Noah in the ark; the Scriptures I make mention of him, particularly in St. John, bt. Mark and- bt. Luke, so that we ma believe he is no imposter. He knows no parents, he never lay upon his mother's breast; his beard is such as no man ever wore; he. goes bare-footed and bare-legged, like a grave old friar. He wears no hat in summer or winter, but often appears with a crown upon ln3 head. His coat is neither knit nor spun, nor hair, silk, linen, or woolen, bark nor sheep skin, yet it abounds with a variety of colors and fits close to the -skin. He is wonderfully temperate; .he never drinks anything but cold water; he would rather take his dinner in a farmer's barn than in a kings palace. He is ver watchful; he sleeps not in bed, but sits in a singular kind of chair, with his clothes on. He was alive at the crucifixion. Nearly all the world hear him. He once preached a short sermon, which convinced a man of his sin, and caused him to weep bitterly. He newr was married, yot he has favoixtes whom he loves dearly, for if he has but one morsel of meat he divides it among them. Though he never rides on hrse-back, he is in some respects equipped as horsemen an. He is an advocate or earJy risniir, though he never retires to bed. His prophecies are so true that the moment you hear his voice you may know what is approaching. Now, who is this prophet, and what did he foretell? Since man has written much of me And women u?e me sore, Before your rentiers now I've come Such u.sjiire to deplore. Of ancestry 1 seldom boost, Yet mine with Eve and Adam I n Paradise mobt surely walked, Who'd dare deny they had 'cm ? No -'Wandering Jew" indeed am I 1 scorn the appellation The fir.i of me that e'er were seen Were in far India's nation. 1 uknow no parents'' it is true, Yet don't reproach vie for It. The varied family whence I came, l'or a'-jes now, nave nore it. If -"on no mothers breast! lay" I'm suresiC laid for me, And all the mother's of our kind Good lavers e'er should be. That 'Of o man ever wore- such beard" My sland'rer next assumes. B'it what care I what mankind do Fair looman sports my plumes That I'm "bare-footed aimk barelegged" This arrant knave avers, And confidently I believe He's envious of my spurs. If I've "a crown upon my head" What need have I of hat? Since he's so full of queries fine SupiHise he answers that. 01 strictest 'temperance55 1 confess I'm always "advocate" But 1 would choose of "water" less Than we have had of late.

And blet be they who for like cause Will shed as manv tears.

Before you let your coil ed. p.3tt.4 w. tracts for work ot this kmd it would be revenue and propacate.tne salmon, wpl. to ....n ,uwn jrr. ytewarL but which is within the province of your honorable body to check if not to entirely control. The matter alluded to so far is the imposition practiced by some prominent packers in placing their goods before the world in a false and, I may say, fraudulent man ner, by placing Columbia labels upon not only inferior but totallv useless articles of food in the shape of salmon, such as dogfish, silver sides and fall salmon. It seems to me to be a, proper and worthy subject for your con sideration and an active interferjj ference of your honorable body to cause parties who are practicing, or who have done so in rhe past, to either desist in the future or have their nanios and actions made public commercially, through yo'ur influence, in the markets of the world, thereby mooting with only sucJi rebuke as their actions in the matter deserve. Information received leads me to believe that the present stagna tion in the salmon business is partly due to the inferior goods un der Columbia river brands bein placed upon the markets, thereby causing the demand to materially decline and doing a great injustice to those manufacturers who have strictly maintained their reputa tion by placing none but genuine Columbia river salmon upon the market, as well as being instru mental in ruining this very impor tant business, which is now only second to our farming interests. "While I ido not deny the right of men to pack and can lish in gen eral. 1 do claim, and no doubt you all agree with me, that it is their dufcv in return to confine themselves unon their own merits. If the salmon packed outside of the Columbia are as good as Ours why not represent it in a true light before the market; Kvutently parties who have practiced thai imposition well know the inferior "roods thev are seeking to inlro duce, and use the Columbia river labels not to promote their goods, but to temporarily iill their pockets at the expense of their neighbors. Please give this matter your at tention, as by doing so you will be instrumental in placing matters squarely, as they should be. Let every one do what is right and less Columbia river labels will- appear on salmon packed on the Sound and elsewhere. Yours, respectfully. C. Leinknwktjer, Fish Com. of the State of Oreiron.
