Yesterday was a favorable time

alarms were necessary.
A burning flue, in H. S. Shuster's

Thursday, May tiUtli, 1879. J
Editou AsTOtUAN :
This morning two Indians came to
my place and reported a dead man on
the beach. In company with four
(other men I went to the place des
cribed bv the Indians and found the
remains of a man, very much disfigur
ed. The hair of his head was nil gone,
his face was so far gone that we could
not tell airything about his features.
Ilis dress would indicate a sailor. He
wore stogy shoes, blue cotton over
alls, blue woolen drawers and under
shirt, bluu cotton over shirt ; two
short clay pipes, tobacco and comb in
one pocket, and four dollars and
eighty-five cents in silver done up in a
flannel cloth, a one bladed pocket
knife with the figure of an anchor on
the handle. He had evidently been
in the water several weeks. We pre
pared a grave, made a co'iin, and gave
the remains as decent burial as we
could under the circumstances.
Day before yesterday the Indians
found at the entrance of Grays harbor
a fine fish boat, containing a fish net,
butcher knife and the sails belonging
to the boat, oar-locks, etc, all in good
order. The bout was uninjured. The
Indians launched the boat safely and
3Testerday sailed it up to the head of
the harbor. The boat was marked
"18 Hume & Duncan." I presume it
came from Astoria.
There was also found on the beach,
by two young men, a new net about
three weeks ago. The floats are
branded A. A. P. Co. The net was
not damaged in the least, and it was
cleaned, washed, and put away in the
dry. The owner of the boat and nets
no doubt will be pleased to hear from
them. Glenx Pbtersox.
T'lSHIXG DISASTERS.
Another boat, unknown, capsized
in the breakers yesterday abreast of
Cape Hancock. Our informant could
not tell whether the men were saved
or not.
The Italian taken from a boat
which went to sea on the 3d, and re
turned on the Gth, more dead than
alive, is still in the hospital at Fort
Stevens. He was in Win. Hume's
No. 8.
Boat No. 22, from Cooks can
nery, Clifton, attempted to save a man
who was clinging to the bottom of a
boat on the 5th, "but were compelled
to abandon the effort. It is not
known who he was.
Friday evening, about six o'clock,
boat .No. 69 belonging to the Asto
ria Packing company was struck by a
sea below Sand island which com
pletely ended the boat end over end.
The net was lost but afterwards luck
ed up by one of Watson Bros, boats.
The men swam ashore on the island
and were brought to the city by the
steamer General Canby yesterday.
Boat No. GO, belonging to Humes
cannery, got down so near to the
breakers yesterday that the men were
compelled, in taking up the net. to
throw overboard six.t3T fish previously
catched. The net was filled with the
largest sized salmon. They got out of
the scrape, hailed the steamer Gen.
Canby, and were brought to the citr,
their boat loaded to the thwarts with
fish.

ANONYMOUS.
Accompanying the following !:ncs.
from whuji we know no., is a statement,
showing it to he a sister to the waif
mentioned recently as being worthy of j
a father. Our correspondent says : ;
u Waii's most always nave metiers; tins
is the case with my poor fatherless
waif.' It is published because we con
sider its sentiments weihy:
Oft, when a child, I played with gee.
In the flittering sands beside the sea;
And never a thought as I watched ius
wave,
That the beautiful sea was a mighty
grave.
But Time has laid its hands on my brow ;
Tilings have changed, and look different
now.
Now, as 1 view its power with pride,
Mv heart with emotion swells with the
" tide
But receding, it draws from my brerst
a sigh.
And oft time the tear drops from my e e.
Tea's arc but tinny opnng of the sea.
And 111 dash thi-m back to it, cheerfully ;
And chide it not. Tor my grief and pain,
For ihose tears have b.-oeght peace to
mv heart aa'n.
And when Time lays its hand upon my,
crown,
To cut the mortal from immortal down,
Then lay me cose by the mighty sea,
Where ever is heard its minstrelsy,
Its Mmbinjj, sighing, moaning, crying.
Dashing, foam" m;, ceaseless ro:.ming.
From shore to shore,
Srnging a requiem over its dea:l,
That sleeps in silence in its pearly bed.
O, bury me near to the beautiful ser,
For 1 levc'it: I love it, because it is Lee.

Vacant Iamls and Goal.
From a gentleman who has been
lately exploring the country towards
Forest Grove from Astoria, we learn
that there is a large scope of valuable
country vacant for settlers, right and
left of the military road leading south
east towards Cornelius. The land is
exceedingly rich and mellow, well wa
tered and susceptible of making good
homes for those who are disposed to
pitch into clearing up lands ready for
the plow. In Nehalem valley alone
are excellent quarter section homes
vacant for a thousand families. A
few settlers are there and on Fish
Hawk who are very much isolated,
and will be, until the railroad shall
p:iss through that country from As
toria to Forest Grove. There are vast
coal fields along this route which .will
yet prove a bonanza to our county.
Further researches will be made short
ly as to their actual worth. The vein
as found is six feet deep. Messrs. S.
G. Caudle and E. E. Brandy have
been awarded a contract by the gov
ernment to survey four townships in
that vicinity, on the headwaters of the
Nehalem. They will start out as soon
as the weather permits.
A Now "Way of Raising Potatoes.
San Fra.icheo Chronicle.
A subscriber writes to us all the
way from Missouri in regard to a
new process for raising potatoes,
which we summarise. In the first
place, he s:tyo the man who practices
the system has grown rich at potato
raising, always having a full crop
and always producing more to the
acre than his neighbors. F;rst the
ground is well manured and made
perfectly mellow, when the po
tatoes are planted with a plow.
As soon as they come through the
ground he takes a small plough and
throws a furrow from the center
each way, so as to entirely cover
up the 3'oung potatoes, which soon,
however, grow through the rew
covering. After that all the weed
ing is done by hand, e'ther pulled
up or hoed oil" close to the ground,
but in no case is the ground to be
again disturbed. The yield, he
says, is cnonnous. The man who
practices th;s novel method lips no
scientific revelation to make, but
simply contends that the potato
roofs should never be disturbed,
and also claims that if planted in
the first place as deep as it ;3
des'rable there is danger of some
of the seed faibnirto come through.
