S. Baker, it says: 4Lo.t them name their next new boat in honor of Win. Stevens Esq., lor he stood by Dr. Baker to the last and never flinched.' " We have always felt that a person would be justified in killing a burglar caught in the act of burglarizing bis or her premises, for the reason that the burglar is generally an assassin, prepared to murder, rather than be captured. The dispatches from Stockton confirm this view. Yesterday about noon some un known scoundrels stole a pair of rubber boots from Mr. Aug. Smith's house on Court street where he was working. If thev will comeback at noon to-day, Mrs. Smith will give them a new pair of stockings she has just finished. People should be on guard for rascals. Some of the. lowest curs in God's whole creation hover about Astoria. -- j. A stranger committed suicide yes terday afternoon by jumping from the roadwav. lie passed Mrs. Twouiblj and Mrs. Withers a moment before, say ing, '-they're going to hang me to-night but I'll ' put a stop to that" and suiting the action to the word jumped overboard and was drowned. The body was recovered very quickly, but lite could not be restored. The poor fellows reason was dethroned, and he crossed over the valley of death into the mystery beyond very deliberate and coolly. Let us hope that he is happier in that world than he has been in this. We un derstand that his name is Conway, and that he leaves a family in San Francisco. He has been in this vicinity but a short tjme. Saved From Destruction. ThcKrIIKh Rarlc .Stnghouiul Rescued by Che rhoiuns Corwin. Private dispatches from Port Towns end, by the grupa vine line, which is opposed to the red tape line, informs us that on the morning of the 17th inst., whiie the United States revenue cutter Thomas Corwin was steaming op the coast, she sighted a vessel at day-light, with SIGNALS OF DISTRBSS FLYING I And their anchors down, close on to a ireet ot rocks a! unit ten miles below Cape Flattery light. A hawser was passed to the ship immediately and she was towed to the west-ward about fifteen miles. Upon boarding her it w:is found that every preparation was made for leaving her, as she was at every swell KEDGIXG OX TO THE REEF. She proved to be the British Staghniiml, Capt. Fawcett, Burrjird inlet, for Cape Town, soars for a navv vard. She bark from with had two passengers, and a crew of twenty three persons including officers, who were thus providentally SAVED FROM DEATH. The Staghound was towed to sea on the Kith. The tug let go of her off the Cape light at 2 o'clock p. m., after which there being a strong current and tide, and on.y light winds, she was set in to the shore, and let go anchors at G o'clock r. M. If it had not been for the accidental presence of the cutter no power could have pre vented the ship from going ashore on the rocks and she would perhaps have been a complete wreck. NEWS OF THE RESCUE Was sent to Port Townsend and Vic toria papers, and the people up this way feel under very great obligations to Capt. Brann. We are greatly in favor of his being stationed up here somewhere, say at Neali bay, with cruising grounds from Port Townsend to the Columbia river. Mica Cumtjx. Port Townsend, April M 1S7JI.

A Live Hoie Picked up. Yesterday morning as the steam bar tug C .1. Brenhain was approaching the dock with the schooner Trustee in tow lroiii sea. the usual crowd gathered around to hear the news from the wreck. A live horse was observed on the for ward deck of the tug eating straw like an ox, and appeared otherwise to be hungry. It was not long until the sing .liar story got afloat that as Capt. George was passing the automatic buoy, fully eight miles oft thccoasUsoniething was sighted bobbing up and down off the starboard bow. ambthe tug headed for it Lo ! and behold ! it was a live horse ! evidently from the wreck, and must have been in the water at least four days. The horse was hoisted on board and brought to the city with the return of the tug-boat landed at Flavels wharf, and afterwads anchored on the dock. Thousands of people flocked to see him; as the marvelous story was spreading like wild fire throughout the city, and just as somebody started after the band to give the poor dumb brute a reception Mr. M.P. Callender happened to discover mud in the hair of the fetlocks, and he was "so curious' that it finally revealed the fact that Capt. Flavel had bought the horse at Fort Canby ; Capt Spurgeon had rode him all through the last Indian campaign; it had never been to sea. etc.. etc., and then the crowd got mad and wanted the animal lynched! but they didn't do an. thing; as this lie was only skim milk when compared to other stories whi-m have grown out of this wreck. The alligator of this last allega tion was not to be found, as usual. The hoax never had any start, it was full fledged and spontaneous. AMUSEMENTS. What on earth they've went and dimmed Maud Miller's name for, sur prised us. Payne: Miss Payne; now that is n't half so pretty as Maud; why eould n't they say "Maud Miller" was her stage na'me: and the painful portion stand as a reality? But we really do hope the young lady may meet with success in tier iie.w career. Maud has talent which will advance, her. under Miss Eytingc's instruction, no doubt To-night at Metropolitan hall, will ap pear for the first time in Astoria "Mad. Pentz'.s original female Minstrels and Mable Santley's London burlesque com pany," as the combination is termed. The Call says they certainly deserve some public recognition as the bestshow of the kind we have had in the city for wars. It is very chaste, nice and proper. There are some twcive-ladies in tne first part and three male performers an interlocutor and two end mem These make the fun. and a good deal of it en tirely new, while the singing of the la dies "is worthy of commendation. There, are some excelled soprano and contral to voices in the company. Their cos tume is quiet and elegant. If we may make a selectum. the ballads by Miss Rosa Lee. May Ten Broeck and Lulu Mortimoreare'the features of the pro gramme of the first part. The special-tie-; that intervene between this and the burlesque of Taris" are varied, a clever costume change scene by Florrie Plim soll, and acts, songs and scenes, all neat and admirable in their way. The musi cal burlesque of "Paris" rises to the grade of opera bouffe as the singing is of a very good class. Miss Mable Sant ley, who assumes the character of Ghncnu was formerly a member of Miss Lydia Thompson's troup. and this is her second visit to the United States. .11 cell n- To-!shf.
