Elberson arrived home by the Oregon, and was gladly wel comed bjT hosts of friends. Water in the Wallamet, at Port land covered the lower docks to a depth of four feet on Sunday. The schooner Emily Stevens, which arrived in tow of the steamer Jtip "Van Winkle on Sunday, is greatly ,tdmired. Weather was so clear yesterday that steamers were plainly seen off the bar, and the tug could he seen at sea taking or leaving vessels. The Oregonian states that ?ft is the intention of the Northern Pacific railroad company to begin at or near vhe mouth of Snake river. Our friend James Brown, of Knappa, was in the city over Sunday, airing his broken leg on crutches. He is fast recovering from his mishap. The steamer Westport came down to Hungry harbor yesterday with Capt. Wests force of fishermen, -who are to .make that headquarters 'for the sea .son. m The passenger lists by tho steam ship Great Republic and Oregon, filled nearly two columns, of double meas use, m tho Telegram of Saturday -night. m We understand that the ship jMcNear has received favorable char ter, and will load at once for Europe with Walla Walla wheat, at Portland an,d Astoria. 9 ' A land slide of mammoth propor tions occurred just below the western iboundary of the citylast week, taking orge trees .with it to the .edge of the paters of .the bay. An Elegant Banner. The Ancient order of Hibernians at Astoria have now two of the finest banners on the Pacific coast. The American flag ordered by them some time since, and which it was expected would reach Astoria in time to be used on the 17th of March, did not I arrive until last trip of the steamship Oregon. And it is a beautiful banner; six feet rDy seven and a half, -of rich silk with gold fringe, and excellent make. It cost $00 30 in New York. The staff and streamer correspond m elegance with the flag. The staff is sunnounteu-witha gold bronze, solid emblem of the American Eagle. The streamer carries the werds: "Divis ion No. 1, A. O. H. of Astoria, or ganized January 26th, 1STS." The society ma" well feel proud of its beautiful banners. Mr. Deale kindly permitted this magnificont emblem of our National Liberty to be unfurled for the first time in Oregon, at The Astoriax office yesterday. It should be placed on exhibition for a few days, at some convenience place in the cky, so that all may see it. The Orcgonian says that Capt. J. H. D. Gray telegraphs from Astoria that passengers who leave Portland on the Astoria boat Tuesday morning can connect with the steamer Gen. Canby for Shoalwator 13a' direct. A new lot of crockery to .be seen at Bailey's. Chicken thieves continue to drive a thrifty traffic about Astoria rooker ies. Last week Capt. Oilman's prem ises were robbed, and Inter the last chiek was stolen from Mr. H.re. The prospect of catching the thieves seems doubtful. Sec late specimens lightning pro cess of photographs, Jit H. S. Shuster's Art Gallery. Our item regarding the necezsities for a consul -at Astoria in the interest of the commerce of Hawaii, was not in tended in the least to reflect upon Col. John McCraken, the consul at Portland. We should feel sorry to have it so construed, as Col. Mc Craken has alwajTs been, and is now, very attentive to his duties in that honorable position, giving no xcause whatever for complaints from any source. Best Saloui flour is sold in this city at $5 50 per barrel by Warren .& McG uire. The new Westport schooner, Emily Stephens, Capt. Henderson, arrived at Astoria on Sunday, and is to-day ready for sea. She has been fitted, as we have previously an nounced, especially for fishing. She has eighteen air-tight compartments, and 13 supplied with all the fittings for the catch. Capt. Henderson in- j forms us that he expects to make San Prancisco with a cargo of fresh fish in about one month. He hao about thirty tons of ice on board. If he finds fish scuth of the .bar, he expects to be able to make at least three trips in two months. The vessel is a model of neatness and perfection. She car ries 1,000 yards of duck in her sails, and her lines show that she will make speedy voyages. We shall watch the enterprise with considerable hope for its complete success. C. H. Bain & Co. will, from this date, discount ten per cent, for cash, on former prices on sales of mould ings, sash and doors. --- The funeral of Sir. T. J. Byer, will take plaoe in Portland to-day. Sir. Dyer was long ago one of Ore gon s tavorea citizens. jh.is remains will rest beside those of his excellent wife, and many family friends in Lone Fir cemetery. The most fitting testi- moftial of his work in Oregon would be an inscription on his monument "Founder of the Oregonian." Al though Sir. Dyer never received any of the benefits, in a pecuniary way, from it, yet such testimonial would be a lasting memento to perpetuate his name, as the Oregonian stands to-day, and will for years stand, as one the greatest successes of the newspaper world. His grandson, Sir. Win. Og den of this city, has been very atten tativo to the aged gentleman, in his last hours, and it will.be a -conselation to his many friends, to know that he yielded up to Death with all of his mental faculties bright, and went peacefully to Jiis longj&eep. Decision Sustained. following is the decision of -Judge Shattuck lately sustained by the su preme court on appeal: In the Circuit Court of the state of Oregon, for Clatsop county. James W. Welch and W. W. Par ker, executors, &c, et als, plaintiffs, vs. James Taylor et als, defendants. In vacation after the January term, a. i. 1S78, April the 22d a. d. 1878. This cause having been heard and submitted upon the pleadings and tes timony herein at the January term of this court, and the court then being unadvised as to what decree ought to be given herein, and having taken the same under advisement and now on this day the court having duly con sidered the same, and being fully ad vised herein, the court finds that the allegations of the plaintiffs complaint herein are true, and that said plaintiffs are entitled to the relief in their said complaint prayed for. It is therefore ordered, adjudged and decreed that plaintiffs James W. Welch, John W. Welch, Sarah F. Wood, Daniel H. Welch and Mary Isabel Welch are, as tenants in com mon, the owners in fee simple and en titled to the possession of all those pieces or parcels of land described in the complaint as lot one in block one hundred and thirty-five in the citj- of Astoria as laid out by John SI. Shively, together with all the tide land in front thereof and all the wharfing and ri parian rights fronting thereon and ap purtenant thereto, and "also of all those others pieces or parcels of land described in said complaint as lots five and six (5 and 0), in block one hundred and thirty-four in said Slave ry's Astoria, and of all the tide land in front thereof, and of all the wharfing and riparian rights fronting on and appurtenant thereto, excepting one hundred and twenty-five feet off the south end of said lots (5 and G) five and six, in block one hundred and thirty-four; and that neither of the defendants have any right, title, or interest in or to said premises, or any portion thereof, and that the claims of said defendants, James Taylor, A. W. Cone, and J. N. Reynolds to portions of said premises are invalid and groundless, and the acts of defendants in entering upon said premises in the complaint alleg edand interfering with the use and cnjt3i:ienb of said premises by the plaintiffs were wrongful, and the su perstructures made and at tempted io"be made br defendants, and each of them upon portions of said premises, are a ,private nuisance, injuriously effect ing the use and -enjoyment of said plaintiffs in their 'said property, and that the order heretofore made in this cause enjoining and restraining the defendants and their agents and ser vants from entering upon said premi ses or otherwise interfering with plain tiffs possession of said premises be made perpetual, and said defendants and each of them, their agents, ser vants, employees, and assigns, and all persons claiming or to claim through, or under them, be and they are here!)' perpetually restrained and enjoined from enteringAipon said pre mises or erecting or placing, or caus ing to be erected or placed thereon, any building, piles, or superstructure, and from in any manner interfering with the plaintiffs possession, or oc cupation of said premises, or any part thereof, and that said plaintiffs do have and recover of and from said de fendants James Taylor, J. N. Rey nolds and A. W. Cone, their costs and disbursements herein taxed, at , and that execution issued therefor. ,(Signed,) E. D. Shattuck, Judge.

See card olsewhere m this paper. "Maffhew, Mark!'' said the old erentlesnan: "Luke, John, to your I Acts," added the mother- Deing: tlie Subject Justice. We cannot do the subject better justice than to quote from a San Jose cotemporary the following referring to the minstrels who so richly entertained Astoria people at Sletropolitan hall last Friday and Saturday evenings. The Herald from which we quote says: They Came, "we Saw, They Conquered. Despite the inclement weather, the parquet of the Opera house wjis filled and the dresscircle moderately tenant ed last evening to greet the Barlow, Wilson, Primrose uid West minstrels, and from the ringing up of the curtain to the close we doubt if there was one in that audience who failed to appre ciate that they were being fully ten dered double tlie price of admission in chaste enjoyment. It is nearer a legitimate 'Negro Slinstrel" company of the style originated by E. P. Chris ty, and those who first went into the business, than any other that has ever visited this city, and taken throughout is the best. The music selections and singing in the first part by the com pany, particularly the choruses, weie given with wonderful sweetness and precision. The sentimental bal krds, "Nobody's Darling but Sliue," and the "Rose of Killarney," by Ed win Harley and J. J. Kelly, were ad mirably rendered and encored. The singing of the end men, Barlow and Wilson, was also good in their comic selections, and secured a recall, when, instead of repeating a verse of what they had been singing, entirely new songs were given. Every song and joke vented in the first part was new, and when the curtain went down they had already won the title "the best company of minstrels that ever visited the citj" The remainder of the show was even better than the first part. iEddie Fox, the violinist and composer, is a perfect master of his instrument, and in his imitations of different ani mals and fowls, the country tiddler, and an intoxicated man singing "I won't go home until morning," fairly made the violin speak. George Wil soon is one of the funniest burnt-cork artists that has ever visited us, and anywhere, only in .company with Slil ton Barlow, would be counted pel feet. We do not miean to intimate by this that Wilson is not very funny, but wish it-understood that in the true business of imitating the Southern darky as he appeared in "do days bco' de wash." Barlow is un surpassed by any othr delineator that we ever witnessed on the stage, noth ing is burlesqued or left out. His re cital 'of the whereabouts of Jonah for several long days," and his imperson tion of the aged darkey and also in the hist act '"The Slotre Bellows" are indescribable. The singing of the Queen City Quartette is exquisite, and the song and dance business and flat foot and clog dancing of Primrose and West the acme of grace and agilit3 The performance is devoid of all slang or hoodlum expressions, and there is no branching off into Irish or -German dialect or coarse gagging. We re commend them most cordially as one of the most artistic combinations that ever viaited this citv. AROUND THE CITY. Fresh oysters in every style at Schmeers'. See advertisement.
