Capt. E. C. Merriman, superin tendent of the 13th light-house dis tricts now a widower; Mrs. Merriman took her departure for the Altantic states by the last steamer. The steamship State of California arrived Sunday evening after a stormy passage, and after discharging 120 tons of her cargo at Astoria proceeded up river yesterday morning. That patent re.el, on that new scow, Scow bay, is for a purpose, but for what purpose deponent sayeth not. Because he don't know. Per haps Mr. Fairfowl can explain it. If the Oregon Steam Navigation company had had as good steam-fire pump at The Dalles for fire purposes, as they have at Cehlo, the late disas ter could not have been so immense as it was. The body of poor unfortunate Robert, lost from the Republic and found several days ago, north of Cape Hancock, was not buried until yester day, when the duty was performed by the military authority at Fort Canby. Mine host A. J. Megler has been elected Chief Engineerof the fire-pump. Coal is kept in the furnace now night and day, which heats the water so as to be ready for steam in any emer gency on a moment's notice. . Air. Thomas 'Crellin, of Oakland) California, called upon us yesterday en route to Oysterville. Mr. John Crellin remains in Oakland. Miss Elvira Crellin, left for Europe last week, in company with Miss Morrison, on a visit. Her many friends in As toria will wish her a pleasant voyage. As if to add further to the mys tery of what species of bird, beast or fish the bones belong to, which were sent to this office by Mr. Henry Thompson last week, we learn that the relic was taken out of a fishing net. We shall send the skeleton to some scientist in ,a few days, A Steamer Ordered for Xo. 1. The Common Council deserve spe cial thanks for their dispatch in the matter of purchasing a steam fire en- i giue for Company .No. 1, Within three days from the receipt of the petition of the people they had passed the ordinance, and yesterday the com mittee on Fire and Water, Messrs. Runy, Hnhn and McCann, together with the officers of the department, made an order for a third-class Amos keg with heaters, and all set up com plete, in the Engine-house, for the sum of $4,125 00. The new engine will weigh about 4200lbs., and we un derstand that Mr. W. T. Evcrson, the agent who negotiated the sale, will order the machine at once by tele graph. Whoop, la ! Give us a run. Since writing the above the boys have been around to get our auto graph and 10 00 together with other, to help them make up the difference between a third class and a second class engine. They will probably change the order for a second class. Whoop 'em up! Latest. The second class was or dered last evening by telegraph. Good enough. An adjourned meeting of Alert Hook and Ladder Co. will be held this evening. The final sale of property by the Great Republic Wrecking Com pany has been postponed until Tues day the 17th.

Father Orth preached the funeral sermon. Yesterday Mr. T. Bailey present ed us with i small basket of straw berries, with the compliments of Mr. C. La Du, Mount Collin. One berry in the basket measured (U inches in circumference. Berries like these can be purchased at Mr. Bailey's store in Astoria. The Astoria correspondent of the Oregonian informs us that Mrs. Stew art, whose death was chronicled in The Astorain last week, was the daughter of Mr. Moore, who, in the early days of Oregon, settled on Lewis and Clarke river, and built the first sawmill erected -in this part of the state. The railroad meeting was a big thing for Astoria Saturday evening. A few such meetings will more assure the building of the road beyond the cavil of a doubt. Such meetings as these are calculated to attract capital ists to our city, and compel them to invest, whether they wish to or not. Whoop 'em up! A body was picked up near Pillar-rock and decently buried, on the 7th. A coroners inquest was held over the remains. Among the effects found upon the person was a register ed letter receipt to Miss Mary Bogar dus, Bluffton, Waukegan county, Mich. It is supposed that deceased was drowned at the Cascades. It is worthy of mention that -we have ladies in Astoria who take a lively enough interest in railroad mat ters to subscribe in the capitol stock of the Astoria and Winnemucca scheme. Mrs. Steers' name" appears on the stock book, and we presume there are others whose names will ap pear there soon. The United States government have extended its protection to Sand island, and furnished a xrovisional government. Win.

Mr. G. W. Hume's schooner Hera was to have sailed yesterday for this port from San Francisco. His brig Hazard is now in the Australian trade, Sierra Nevada is in the coal trade, and he is fitting upjthe brig Sea Waif for a trading voyage to the South Pacific islands, under command of Capt. Wagner, formerly of the Edward James. What was supposed to be a vessel coining in on Sunday was the barken tine North Bend, becalmed. She crossed the bar at 12 o'clock, and as there was no wind came to anchor, and at 5 o'clock she signaled the Bren ham which went out and gave her an offing. She was still becalmed at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, but about half past five a light breeze from the north-west carried her to sea. Frishtfirt Calamity. About three o'clock last Saturday afternoon the lifeless bodies of Mr. John Burke, and his daughter Emma, aged about seventeen years, were found by Mr. Abbott, on Clatsop, under the most shocking and painful circumstances. Mr. Abbott was driving along the road in the vicinity of Mr. Burke's house when he came to a fallen tree, and stopped his team, to see some way of getting along, when he found the bodies. The inference is that Mr. Burke was chopping a tree, and that his daughter was sitting near by watching the act. When the tree fell it hit a" dry stub which also fell upon Miss Burke, when Mr. Burke ran to her assistance and was himself struck by a falling limb. Death in both cases must have been in stantaneous. The bodies were picked up, assistance summoned, and a mes senger dispatched to Astoria, who ar rived here Saturday evening, and had two coffins prepared and sent to the scene of the causality. On Sunday the bodies were broughc to the city, by the steamer General Canby, and the funeral service took place at the Catholic church. The bodies were buried in the city cemetery. Mr. Burke was reported killed a few months ago when he went east for his daughter, but they both arrived safely a few months ago. and had made a home on the Clatsop place, where he set high hopes upon living his allotted time in peace with his daughter. We expect to publish a sketch of the life of Mr. Burke in a few days, from the pen of one of his most intimate friends, a companion of his early yoars. Excursion to Piijjet Sound. A great excursion from Portland to Seattle, W. T. and back, will come off June 24.
