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.

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.

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,

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.

"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.
