We believe that -this would be the most valuable jmd saleable ar ticle that can be found. Lieut.

Richard Lemon, son-in-law of Mr. Peter and Bridget Grant, of this city, returned by the Oregon from his business trip to San Frjincisco. Messrs. Badollet & Co. informs us the rumor that they had purchas ed twenty-five boats of other persons, or any number, was an error. They have not done so. Mr. G.

Yesterday was one df the most beautiful daj's that Astorians have experienced for many weeks. It be ing the annivcrsity of the Patron St. Patrick was enjoyed nn a quiet way by our Irish citizens, who displayed the flags of their country generally, and appeared on the streets "wearing of the green.'" In the forenoon service was held at the Catholic church, and in the afternoon the band paraded the (streets discoursing music appropriate! to the day. The rooms of the Hiber- nian society were thrown open, in the Gem building, and the beautiful flag of the order displayed there. About half .past three o'clock the band formed a circle in front of the .hall, played a j national air, which was responded to, and the festival closed with literary exercises and speeches by Mr. T. A. Dealey and others. Heroic act, and Iastardly act. Shortly after the first ringing of the church bells .Sunday evening a scene of horror presented itself on Jefferson street, near Olney, where a little child of Mr. R. Oarruthorsfell from the walk into the hsiy. 'It so happened that two young men Lewis Allen, step son of Justice B. B. Turley, and .Joseph Hare, son of Collector W. D. Hare, were passing near by, and hearing the splash immediately went to'the rescue of the child. Master Allen took the precaution to devest himself .of his coat, vest jmd watch, before plung ing into the water, and assisted by Mjister Hjire the child was safety re turned to its home. The boys then, went to get the clothing and watch, when it was discovered, that some miscreant had stolen the watch and got awjiy with it. Such a dastardty act jus that deserves the severest punishment, while the heroism of Master Allen entitles him to the greatest respect from all. The police are on track of the stolen prop erty, we understand, with hopes of recovering it. .We trust that the thief may be caught and punished. A fine lot of Whitaker Jiams to be found at Bailey's. Best Salem flour is sold, in this city at $5 50 per barrel by vWarren & McGuire. A few daTs-of sunshine-fidds very materially to the life of Astoria. Yes terday is was indeed a pleasure to see the carriages flying about the city by those who are fortuuate enough to be able to possess one. It strikes us forcibly that the best the common council can do is to put a stop to open desecration of the Sabbath in this city by the Chinese portion of the population. Last Sun day at times it was almost impossible rto pass along Chenamus street, which was almost blocked with Chinamen, about 100 being spectators for every one or two at work sawing boards and cord-wood. It is time to put a stop to it. --' Lambert's brass band appreciate favors bestowed upon them, and are worthy of all. Yesterday Dr. J. O'Brien presented them with sub stantial token of his appreciation. Recently Messrs. Bergman & Berry presented them with a pair cf choice calf skins, which Messrs. Leinenweber & Go. tanned nicely at the hemlock tannery, and yesterday Sqmvalen.ee perspired profusely beating iihe bass drum again. Mr. Lambert says the drum is as good now as any he has ever seen, and wishes us to express the thanks of the band for these fa vors. The' turned out for the parade yesterday gratuitously. The insult to Rev. J. A. Cruzan, penned in the Portland jail by the desperado Archie Brown, on the 4th of last February, should be phiced in scrap-books alongside of the confession made by the scoundrel on the day of his oxecution, and be re-produced up on future occasions when a sympathet ic public are westing, their sympathies upon such heartless viiiians as this Archie Brown admitted, himself to be. It is the very worst -that can be done by a community to endeavor to re lease criminals from the action of the courts when convicted as Brown and Johnson were convicted. It is with pnde that we point to the fact that at I all times jL'hb Astorian, and thej people of Astoria, believe in ridding the country.oi allj5uch miscreants. Burial of Chas. H. Wilson. UnPEit Astoria, March it, 1S79. Editor Astortan : The fact that & per son walking in the ordinary pathof civil life dies and is buried ought not to create any sensation ainonc his surviving frienfts. sufll cient to cause a lengthy piece for the news paper to be written - but we think some eir oumsuuiees connected with this burial ought to come before the people, showing them the reason wliv a "dc:ul man" is buried, as there wjis some insinuations in regard to the prn nrictv of the burial taking place on the Sab bath." made bv the Rev. Parker. Hence. Mr. Editor, the friends of the decejiscd ask vou to publish the following historical statement of the burial and circumstances therewith connected : Mr. Chas. 11. "Wilson, of upper Astoria, af ter a confinement to his bed of 9 months, suffering from consumption, expired on the 13th insL, :tl 7 :4." i jr. in the presence of manv friends and the .attending doctor, who wjis consulted jus to the proprioty of the time ot burial, and answered : "The sooner the better." On the morning of the ICth Inst.. (Sund:iv), friends of the deceased (he h:ul no near relatives here), repaired to Rev. Parker, p:istor of the Chapel of Hol Innocents, who iiad previously announced that he wjis pre pared to sell lots for burial purposes and had .sold lots, asking him the privilege ofburving and his services at the grjive at A o'clock i. m.. which respectfully wjis refusod. Gen. Adair, who has kindly donated to the church the spot or Inclosure of ground, used as a burving ground, granted the permhtKion of "burial there," which seemingly dbnujilified the pastor of Ins authority, and raised his spirit to a "high pitch," calling forth from him the following language under the servi ces in churci. : A couple of men called on me this fore noon, asking my service at the burial of the bodv of a man who had been tkiofl 12 hours, but I refused as it was Sabbatn. and neither the dead num. nor the men calling have ever darkened the church door. But judging from the crowd standing on the cor ners I guevs they have Mole a march on me ; but herojifter the body of no man will be permitted to be buried in this ground and those already resting here are termitted to do so merely for the s:ike of accommodation. To-morrow they could have burled Jiere but not on the Sabbath. We Icjivc it to the candid public to judge the action of the pastor m the matter. It will be observed that Mr. Wilson had been dead 201.; hours when the time for burial was set. consequently more than "12" jmd the doctor pronouncing it necessary for sanitary purposes to bury as soon jis possible ; his friends could find no reason to delay the .solemn and sacred act. notwithstanding the prejichers remarks. The Rev. Mr. J. T. Wolfe willingly officiated at the grave and by the permission jmd kindness of Gen. Adjiif, Jr.. the remains of Ch:u.lL Wilson were per mitted to rest in peace where the large crowd of friends chose to deposit them. U'e take this opportunity of thanking Jill those who svmpatiuzcd with him in his sickness, who lent him a helping hand and encouraged him bv words and deeds of :my kind, particu larly those who showed him the last painful respeut in following him to the place from whence no tnuclcr ever returned." The Ilev. Mr. 1'arkcr we forgive m what we think he Is erring and wish that he may practice his teachings. In aying good bye to the many frienus of Chas. Wilson, for him, we arc his Many Friends. State mentT.rom Rev. Mr. Parker. The undersigned desires to make the fol lowing statement autl evnlaiuition : On Sun d:iy hist two men wiutcti upon me recpiest ing me to sell them a lot in the Episcopal burial ground, upper Astoria, to bun' a man who had died the night previous. I studied over the thing and at hist kindlv declined to sell them the lot or perform .the ceremonv that day ; but offered to do allthev required if they would leave the matter till Monday morning at nine o'clock. My reasons lor de clining were as follows : First, the man luid not been dead, when I was applied to, more than twelve hours ; and jis he did not die of any contlous dls cjise. we thought that a little over haste was being shown. If we did wrong on this point it was the fault of our training. Second, as the grave yard is a private one we did not wish graves dug on the Lord's d;iy when there did not seem to be any re;il necessity for it. Could we have seen the necessity we would have given way. Tf we have done wrong in this point it wjis because of our zeal for the holiness of the Lord's d:iy. Thirdly, every Sunday culls upon us for three sermons and three services, and not seeing the urgency of the cjise we declined to conduct the fourth service. If we did wrong in this point it wjis the fault of our physical infirmity, for we are far from well. After our interview the men left me In tending, so I thought, to jibide by my wish in the matter. JUit from mv house they pro ceeded to Gen. Adair's, jmd by inisrepresen titions secLied the lot, thus carrying their point. I make this stJtjement so that all men ; but especially my congregation, may know the matter jis it Is. It wjis ji matter of principle on my part and my motto always iuis been, and I trust alwivys will be, "Prin ciples mid not men." Very respectfully, Octavius Parker. Statement of Mr. Adalr Uri'ER Astorjv,. March 17. 1879. Editor Asterian: In justice to the Rev. Mr. Pjirker and the friends or the late Cbjirlcs Wilson. I luive thefcllowingexplana tion to offer in regard to ilie unfortunate circumstances attending the burial of the deceased at this place Sunday : In JJio first place allow me to say that the small liiinal ground in upper Astoria belongs to the Episcopal church, and is entirely un der its control, consequently of the clergy man of the parish at present the Rev. Mr. Pjirktr is the only person who can right fuPy ailow bodies to be buried .within its limits. Sunday morning :Mr. Neil Nelson cjinie to me and Jisked permission to bun' the bodv of Charles Wilson in the burial ground referred to. "Whereupon I referred him to Mr. Parker juid upon his telling me that he had called on Mr. Parker and that he luul consented to perform the buml ser vice at half p:ist four o'clock that afternoon, I concluded that Mr. Parker's permission had been obtained and tint-everything was -satisfactory. I then requested my brother. Mr.Jno Adair, to go to the grave yard and show Mr. Nelson where to dig the grave, not being able to go myself. -Soon after tlie burial lwius greatlv surprised todejirn that the Kev. Mr. Parker had not performed the burial service he having, in his ,mteKt-cw with Mr. Nelson, distinctly declined to per mit the burial to take place tnslhe choice grounds on that day (Sunday.) Prom the above it clearly appears that Mr. Nelson, by his siotenient, placed mejn the f:ilse position ol acting in direct opposition to the phiinly expressed wishes of the rector of the parish, something far from my wish or Intention to do in tkls matter. Respectfully, Wr. B. Adaib. Mr. G. V. Hume has just opened a line of oils, .turpentine, sail cloth, etc., to which the attention of pur chasers is incited in our advertising columns to-day.
