It is now fully time that we heard something from the Astoria fishing schooners, Emily Stephens and Res cue. The latter has been away two months and a half, she sailed March 12th, and the former since April 1st. They may have gone up to the north ern cod-iishing banks. G. S. Wrights residence is march ing forward under the directum of Messrs. Surprenant and Ferguson, junior. C.iarley will have a neat home.

FOItT CANBY. V, Tm May 29, 1879. Yesterday evening at sun set, the sea was calm at the baron the Coin in- bia, and up to the light-house. Sev- i eral fishermen spread their seines along the water, between the point at the batteries and Sand island. Some time in the night a wind sprang up from the south, and the breakers set in towards the shore. Early this morning a blue fishing boat was dis covered capsized, and at the rocks close to the light-house. Two boats and six men went round the point from the wharf, near the suttlers store, and brought in the boat and seine. These men reported that the two fish ermen in the wrecked boat were drowned. Soon after this it was discovered that a very long seine was in the breakers, and no boat near it. A steamer passed round to it, but it was afoul, and could not be recovered. So when the tide passes out towards noon to-day, it will take the seme into the ocean. The property belonged to two Italians who were drowned. The opinion seems to prevail amongst some of this fishermen on the bajT that there are better fishing grounds west of Sand island, than higher up in the bay. But I am assured by Captain Hewett that it is extremely dangerous to fish on these groii nds. The sea may appear calm and all appearances fair, when all of a sudden a breeze may spring up, and the breakers begin to roll m towards shore, and a large wave may come in behind the boats and capsize them in a moment. In that case the men would be drowned, and the property perhaps lost. Fishermen should take warning of these facts. Breakers are rolling northward, along the west side of Sand island, at a fear ful rate this morning. No marvel that the Great Republic broke up where she ran aground. Nothing is seen of the wreck now but the wheels and the walking beam. Six o'clock p. m. Another seine lost to-day in the breakers, and the two passed out to sea. Part of one of them was seen this evening, a little west of McKinzie head, entangled among the rocks. David Newso.me. Itoltl Attempt at Robbery, A very desperate attempt at rob bery was made night before last at Barth & Meyers saloon on Main street, which we have refrained from commenting upon sooner in the hope that some arrests would be made. Two fellows, one of whom is known to be a gambler in straitened circumstan ces, entered the saloon and called for drinks. Mr. Geo. Heller, the saloon keeper, was alone at the time. He set up the drinks, when one of the pair asked for the water-closet, and was shown the way. He was followed by the other fellow, who immediately returned to the bar room in excite ment saying some accident had be fallen his companion. Heller went to see what was the matter when the "dead fellow" met him with a cocked revolver and told him to shell out. The other fellow stood behind Heller. Heller put his hand down as if to pungle coin, when he pulled his pistol and fired at the man m front of him, who returned the fire, and both ran i away. The pistol shots were heard by various persons, and the bullets left their mark iu the wall and fence. It seems to us that a reward should be olfered for the arrest of the scoundrels.

June 5th, and a full at - 1 tendance is required, The Harbor of Refuge. A lla catyorma, .-uaj -oui. Colonel btewart announces bv advertisement in the Alta, that on j,n(l after the 5th of June, the Board of Army Engineers for this i coast will hold sessions at his j office, to hear the views of persons interested in the location ot a har bor of refuge between San Fran cisco and the Straits of Fuca. The latter point is named in the adver tisement, but the northern limit is really the Columbia river. Be tween latitudes 3S and 46 the half-way point would be 42 . The engineers have already given some consideration to the subject, and expressed a preference for Trini dad, in latitude 41 and 3 min utes. "With that preference we have no fault to find, except that it was made without consulting the hydrographic engineers of the Pacific Coast Survey, whose chief, Professor Davidson, was recently sent round the globe by the gov ernment with instructions to study the subject of breakwaters on his way. Selling Liquor to Inebriates "We are informed that an act of the assembly passed in October lSib, relative to selling nquor minors and inebriates, will to be strictly enforced hereafter in toria. The following is the As act referred te: It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly sell, bT agent or other- wise, any spirituous or other intoxi cating liquors to any minor, for any purpose whatever, unless upon the written order of his parent or guardian or family physician, or to sell the same to any intoxicated person, or to any person who is in the habit of be coming intoxicatod, and any person violating the provisions of this section shall forfeit and pay to the school fund the sum of one hundred dollars for each and every offense, to be col lected by action on his bond, by any citizen of the county where such of fense may have been committed. A Hard Shot nt Boocher- Henry Ward Beecher has been on a lecturing tour through the south. He was generally well received, but with no noisy exhibition of hospitality. The people were anxious to see him on ac count of his notoriety, and he had large audiences, both as hearers and street-gazers. On his return trip he stopped at Cincinnati. The working men of that city having no very ex alted opinion of the man, on account of some of his recent utterances, cele brated the event by a banquet at Hi bernia hall, in which the "viands" consisted solely of bread and water, dealt out on tin plates. This was to remind Mr. Beecher that a dollar a day, upon which he thinks a laboring man can subsist, would not justify a sumptuous spread. After the feast the plate3 were sold at auction. The Brooklyn clergyman is accustomed to nave harsh words spoKen or nunseir, and by this time has got prett- well used to it. Of one thing he must be convinced, however, which is, that he is more popular with his Plymouth congregation than with the masses of the people, who feel that there is no mutuality of sympathy between him and them. There will be divine service in ! Grace (Episcopal) church to-morrow the morn- I niormiiir and evening.
