If any of the builders at Astoria,
intending to use brick the coming
season, will call at The Asxoilb&x of
fice we will show thembriek made in
this county which we feel safe in say
ing recommends itself. The maker
of this material has spent several hun
dreds of dollars in the experiment
which has proved foeyond any reason
able doubt that he can manufacture
the article here. If the people will
only aid his enterprise by properly
encouraging it, Mr. Smith will do for
Astoria whatihe brick makers have
done for Portland. Clatsop is to-day
one of the richest counties in the
whole northwestern territory, if the
natural resources are only developed.
The brick which we have here on ex
hibition were made in a crude sort of
way, but out of a kiln of 20,000 dt
would be difficult to find better samples
in any portion of the state.
Court Proceedings.
JUSTICE COURT B. R. TURLEY, J.
Astoria, March ID.
Win. McLaitflUin, arraigned for as
sault and battery, was found guilty
and fined -10 00 and costs; and also
damages assessed for property de
stroyed. TOLICE COURT H. B. TA.RKER, J.
.Sue Kim, arraigned for selling
liquor without a license, was dis
charged for want of sufficient evidence.
Jo. Anderson, "my Jo. John." an
inebriated individual, for want of
squivalence to liquidate a fine of 10,
languishes in jail for the period of five
daTs, when not employed by the po

jaour.
Prices of Oj'Sters.
following is the price of oysters at
the principal -restaurants of Pertland:
Foi Eastern, per plate .... -r0
- Shoal water bay, per plate U
" Olympia, per plate .'Aj
Persons might suppose that this dif
ference was based upon quality, but
such is a mistake. The difference is
wholly owing to the inconveniences oT
transportation, and unless something
is done to enable Shoalwater bay to
lay its oysters down in the markets at
less rates than at present, the trade
will be ruined in a short time.
