Judging from the number of As

Commercial Reports.
The Chamber of Commerce is in re
ceipt of dispatches announcing that:
The steamship Elder arrived at San
Francisco on Thursday. Her sailing
on the return voyage lias been post
poned until Thursday, the 27th.
The British ship Viola, from this
port Sept. 9th, 1878, for Liverpool,
recently reported ashore near Dunkirk,
France, is afloat again, and at the
dock.
The steamship Oregon sailed from
San Francisco, for Astoria and Port
land, at noon on Thursday. The
Great Repulic sailed later on the same
day with the same destination.
Another Sinrula.r Ifecision.
Old-time citizens of Astoria will
recollect the intricacies of a case grow
ing out of the joint ownership -of a
horse between Capt. Wass and W. H.
Twilight. A somewhat similar point
of interest was recently decided in
India. It seems that four men, part
ners in business, bought several bales
of India rugs, and also -some cotton
bales. That the rats might not destroy
the cotton ihey purchased a cat. They
agreed that each of the four should
own a particular leg of the cat; and
each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioned to
him- The cat, by accident, injured
onef its legs. The owner of that
member wound around it a rag soaked
in coal oil. The cat, going too near the
hearth, set this rag on fire, and
being in great pain, rushed in among
the cotton bales where she was ac
customed to hunt rats. The cotton
and rugs thereby took fire and they
were burned up a total loss. The
three other parties brought suit to re
cover the value of the goods destroyed,
against the fourth partner who owned
this particular leg of the cat. The
judge examined the case, and decided
thus:
The leg that had the oiled rag on it
was hurt; the cat could not use that
leg; in fact, held uj ithat leg, and ran
with the other three legs. The three
unhurt legs, therefore, carried the fire
to the cotton, and are alone culpable.
The injured leg is not to be blamed.
The three partners who owned the
three legs with which tlie cat ran to
the cotton T7ill pay the whole value of
the bales to the partner who was the
proprietor of the injured leg.
Postmaster Chance is m receipt
of the following circular from the
United "States treasurer: Standard
silver dollars will be furnished, free
of expense, by the treasurer of the
United States for checks in his favor
on New York, when collected; for
certificates of deposit issued by any
United States sub-treasurer or deposi
tory national bank, for United States
notes or national bank notes. The
above should be in sums of 1,000, or
its multiples, and returns will ne made
over any established express line.
The people of aker city and
Union, Oregon, evidently beleive that
diptheria is -a contagious diseace. The
authorities of each place have adopted
stringent ordinances with a view of
stopping tke spread of the dread dis
ease. A heavy fine is imposed in the
former place, upon all doctors and
parents who fail to Teport the
appearance of a caseof tilie disease to
the authorities and by the display of a
red flag. All children under 18 years
of age are forbidden .to attend school
or church, and the -taking of every
precaution against the spread of the
disease is made obligatory upon every
one.
