Tust received per Elder 2,000 pounds, 8-pound sheet lead, for sale at lowest rates at Magnus C.

Mr. F. was in the city yesterday preparing to begin- hauling next week. - -. Five thousand bushels of charcoal have just been delivered by the schooner Buckeye, Capt Grounds, from near Foss' camp for cannery work. - Capt .1. G. Hustler has received a dispatch which reports that the steamer California, from Alaska, will arrive at Astoria to-morrow morning. Mr. R. D.

Saturday, Sunday and yesterday, arriving back here last night with a GOU-ion barge for the Valley Forge. "As sick as a dog, is a somewhat homely phrase, but a man has got to be confounded sick, with a double-duplex ailment to '-take on as Quad, Tin: Astoiuax pun, does the past :M hours. Verily, we believe that Quad is as sick as any dog can well be. Messrs. Jackins & Ilawes are em ployed at present in turning out a large K)0-gallon cheese vat for the Clatsop fac tory of Mr. C. S. Moore. It is so lame that they have not room in the shops to work upon it, but nevertheless they find plenty of room to do the job in a workmanlike manner on the outside of the shop. A bungling attempt to commit suicide was made in Astoria on Sunday by a man named Gus Leonard. He shot himself in the ear with a pistol loaded with powder and wad. Two chambers of the same pistol had bullets in them. but betook the. wad and survives the shock. Leonard was an emnloye of the stage at Music hall, and the cause of his strange conduct is said to be unre- compensed love. o- George Hill's variety theatre in this citv has been greatly abused by false re ports. It is true that " the crowd r gath ers there, and the patronage is a motley one, very like the days of 49, but there is nothing put upon the stage that smacks in the. least particular of obscen itv, nothing which could not properly come before the most fastidious." The plays are good, and patrons can enjoy them without molestation, in private boxes. "Worthy of Kention. . ?! l..nf- -Cr.r.i lr TJiclinrmnnC Trri.t.w -.,lnnv iueiTffi iihrtnt. niii .

OBITUARY. Miss Sarah E. Cole, daughter of Ste ion :nul Lvdia Cole, of this citv. died phei on the 22d ult., at the residence of J.'W. Coshlin. in Savannah. Mo. Miss Cole was u member of the Alumna of the Willamette University, class of WA, and was on her way to Astoria when she was thus suddenly cut off by an at tack of the br..in fever. She was in the 25th year of her aire. Her many friends in Oregon mourn ner loss, but Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.' Bodies Recoverd- We are informed that the citizens liv ing near Ihvaco have found, and decent ly buried, the regains of a child, ap parent v two or three years of age be tween 'Ihvaco and the mouth of tlr Wallicut river. One of the arms was partly covered with a sleeve made of brown colored woolen goods, cut strai ght, trimmed with black braid three sixteenths of an inch wide, passing twice around the cuff about one inch apart. Other potions of the body were found scattered along the beach. The remains were buried near Mr. Brown's place. The body of a man was also picked up, on the sea-beach, between the farms of Capt. Eastbrooks and L. A. Loomis. The head showed the effect of severe bruises. The feet were incased in short gum boots. AJIL'SEMEXTS. The Hyers.

Tho Doclrcriy Road Most Go- A Tillamooker writes as follows : On the opposite side of this sheet yon will find a few lines in rhyme the Angels' views concerning the Dockerty road. I will say here that it may be an unpardonable offense to palm off one's imperfections on an angel. If so, I am fixed. I have often heard the song, "The Chinese must go," but newer knew till now that a simi lar feeling is manifested among the Angels regarding the Dockerty road. In conclusion, I wos.ld say that this "rig-ma-role" of nonsense concerning the Dockerty road is simply meant for a bit of fun, and to help cany out Meldrum's plan. I would be sorry indeed if any one should take offense. I am always glad to hear of anv enter prise prospering which has a tendency to develop the resources or a country; and if any country on earth needs de veloping, it is Tillamook. THE DOCKEKTY BOAD 3rUST GO. I dreamed an Angel came last night, And stooping o'er my bed, Whispered many a funny thing; 111 tell you wha' he said: "'Twas TUlamook deserving men Who pledged their gold, you know; And wrote it with an iron pen, The Dockerty road must go. " Thev have a charter for their road, And soon the works will move. Commencing down at Linconville And end at Forest Gr .-e. The heavens and earth i:iy pass away, The tide mav cease to flow. The Buckboard turn and kill H.Day; Yet Dockerty road must go." The Angel meant to grade the road, Out on the other side. Westward to the cinnabar lode, From thence down on the tide. We'll meet him at the dreamers ranch, His path with roses strow And shout aloud, with f ne accord, The Dockerty road must go. Saxciio Paxza. AROUND THE CITY.
