(. a'J at the Chicago House and We are under obligations to Senator Mitchell, for a copy of a very able and interesting speech upon the subject of a harbor of refuge for the northwest coast. In this speech Senator Mitch ell reviews all the losses of the const from January 1st, 1S01, to the end of 2S78, something like five hundred disasters, but eighteen of which are given as having occurred at the Colum bia river, and of that number four at least arc erroneously located, reducing the list to fourteen as directly trace able to this "awful" Columbia river bur in eighteen year. Considering an aveiage of four humlredTui J fifty ves sels cross and rocross the bar now annu ally, and that Tour regular steamship lines are now operating regularly be tween San Francisco and Astoria, and one between Astoria xnd Sitka, this is not a bad showing. According to oflicial figures during the past twelve months an average of 0,150 persons passed each month by ocean steamers from San Francisco to Astoria, and an average of 1,1 GG from Astoria to San Francisco, making a total average of see for yourself. Miss. E. C. Benedict having com pleted the te.arh.Mig of Mrs. Rinkor'n system of cutting and fitting ladies (fiftsses. and having test fits in Astoria, takes pleasure in referring to Mvs: T.

The bark Rival arrived at San Francisco from thk port on the 10th. There never was a country in. the world that can produce more edible birds than this. The beach lromllwaco -to Oysterville is alive with the finest quality of snipe. Canneryiuon and business men in general will do well to examine Adler's new stock of BUuilc-books and stationery which he bought m the East and offers at less than Portland prices. I The Bay View House, at Ewaco, -oui of the finest summer resorts on thispart of the coast, is now prepared for a live business. Capt. It. Wil Ikims is soon to leave for Eurqpe for 4iis family. The llwaco and Oysterville line of stages running under the super vision of Mr. L. A. Loomis, make good time across the beach from 11 vraco. Since the mail schedule has been changed everybody is satisfied. The people appear to be pleased with present arrangements. Our mission to OyMerville. Tlie 3fns(ruerailrfe. In our absence the grand masquer ade ball, which was (we honestly say it), the grandest event in Astoria's history, our substitue neglected to descant upon the costumes richly de serving of praise, not to say credit for deportment. They did 'so for the oft repeated story "that to discriminate would seem invidious," -etc. We ad mit that point; and agree with Major Throckmorton, that the manager should have provided at least one dozen first prizes. We will not attempt to re view the field, at this late date, but must offer an apology to Miss Mary Jewett for an omission. Miss Jew ett wasdiesscS. elegantly, and carried out the character or her costume of 'Morning," with unexceptional grace, and we regret that her name was omitted (accidentally) from fhe list. lusstcal Concert. i Zitter, GuitavViolin er, Dreamer, Miller.

The steamer Idaho did not sail from San Francisco until Sunday. The steamer Elder is advertised to leave San Francisco for Astoria, on. the 22d, Saturday next. Thousands of cattle and horses in the upper country are perishing in consequence of the late severe snow storm. Beef cattle are now worth ten cents per lb. on foot. It will be a back set to the country generally from which it mav not be able to recover i for years, but in the aggregate the values lost will be paid by the enhan ced values of property saved. -c - We regret to sa' that Mr. J. L. Stout, of the Sea View house, is lying in a very precarious state at his resi dence beyond llwaco from a sore affliction. He is attended by Dr. AVeisel of Fort Canby, and his faith .Tui wife stands by him day and night, hoping between life and death. We visited him on Sunday, and shall take pleasure in recording any symptoms of an improvement. . Mr. O. P. Whitelaw, of Kuapp- ton, returned from his trip to The Dalles on Sunday in the vain attempt to reach Walla Walla. He says there was .three feet of snow at Tho Dalles: -the stages were snowed in above there, and passengers going by every boat j enabled to have one day bv takin Extreme modesty compels us to apologise for our ad interim, who on Sunday anounced that "the editor and other distinguished citizens" had gone to Oysterville for a purpose, etc. Had he said that we, in company with dis tinguished citizens did so and so, it would have been all right but we are plebian, by nature and education, hence we wish nothing fulsome in praise or wnat we may uo.
