It seems a pity that one of these places cannot have its name changed or have the county mentioned every time." AROUND THE CITY Poisoned Iy Succotash. A Boise city paper of late date says: On Sunday, the 15th inst., at dinner, live of the members of the family of Rev. A. J. Joslyn, were poisoned by eating canned succotash. Mrs. Jos lyn and one of the little girls were ex ceedinirlv sick for several hours. Three nf thii children who did not taste the steam fire engine for Astoria Engine Co. No. 1, 1 trust you will excuse me therefore in their behalf, for present ing to the public through your paper, a brief statement of facts in relation I to the matter. At a regular meeting of the common council neia oune ou, 1879, a petition was presented to the council signed by over one hundred citizens and tax payers, asking the council to purchase a steam fire engine for Astoria Engine Co. No. 1, imme diaiehj. which petition was, on motion referred to the committee on fire and water together with the chief engineer, with instructions "to purchase an engine nnmeuiatciy u i iii'ui""ic terms as possible." The committee at once informed the foreman and other members of Astoria Engine Co. No. 1 of the actions of the council and requested them to call a meeting of their company and choose the kind of engine they desired, thinking it nothing more than just and right that the company should have that privilege. The following is their action and Ice Cream Candy, a la Paris, at Adler'sper Elder; also, a large assort ment of other thoice candies. Now that building is reviving in Astoria, bear in mind the fact that Peter Runev is well supplied with all kinds of building materials which he is prepared to dispuse of to all nt very lowest rates.

June luth, 1570. !4tf ATTENTION KNIGHTS. Astor lodge No. G, K of P., will hereafter hold its conventions in the hall of Sea Side Lodge No, 12, A. O. of U. WM comer Chenamus aud. Benton streets. So-tf J. O. BOZORTH, K. of R, and: S. succota&h. were not affected. The . report on the matter. symptoms seemed to be those ot anti monial poisoning, and restoratives were administered accordingly with relief to the patients. The succotash was put up by the firm of J. B. Brink ley & Son, Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. D. K. Warren invites propo sals for the construction of another new building on Chenamus street, 40xG0 feet, two stories frame. - We are in receipt of a fine, showy case card from Cook's fishery. It is handsomely executed, and shows the best picture of the salmon that we have seen. . - Capt. Parker is getting along nicely in his preparations for getting the ship City of Dublin off the sands of Clatsop beach. We expect to see the vessel in port inside of six weeks. Mr. Hope B. Ferguson of this city, has been admitted to practice law in t'ie courts of Oregon, and Washing ton territor3r. He was admitted this week at Kalama at a term of the dis trict court. - Riverside, Nehalem valley, will celebrate the 4th by a pic-nic at Hay wards ranche. During the day there will be canoe races and other sports, and a ball at Daywalts at night All are invited. We were yesterday shown a speci men of coal discovered by Mr. Cloutrie on the head waters of the south fork of the Neknnicum. The specimen had evidently laid in the creek for a long time but still seemed to be as heavy and as of good quality as other coals of this coast. While so many elegant pictures are made and sold of Hudson river and Mississippi steamers, why does not somebody get up a picture of the S. G. Reed, Wide-West, R. R, Thomp son, Annie Faxon, Harvest Queen, D. S. Baker and other palatial craft of the grandest river in the west, the Co luinbia? Edison is surely receding into the shade. He has had his day, but it might have lasted a good deal longer between the sun and sun, had he not made such a splurge and splutter m the start. Eminent electricians, on both sides of the Atlantic, are silently and industriously working out the great light problem. Nothing new is reported in the San Francisco wool market, which shows a very slight decline in prices, niininn lots of Humboldt and Men docino are quoted at 27i28ic; other grades of good to extra choice free northern, 22?27c.; slightly burry and burry, 18&22c. Buck's wool of all grades, half rates. A neat sum of money has been subscribed by our citizens for the appropriate oelebration of the coming Fourth of July, preparations for which are under way. Besides the customary exercises there will be various amuse ments for both young and old. The arrangements being made are not extensive but will be quite amusing. "Hard times" is a myth. ' The country was never better supplied with money and all kinds of produce, only these good things are not divided ac cording to the ideas of approved croak urs, says the Experiment. Among the subscribers to the stock of the Astoria and Winnemucca railroad company subscribed yesterday, we observe the names of Mrs. Daggett and Mrs. Binder. The company will hold a business meeting on the 2d of July. . ,. An eastern cotoruporary takes the chances to assert that Peter Cooper did not get his start in life by sitting on the grocery steps in twilight and believing all the yarns told to him by the man who has just returned from Leadville. m Mr. D. M. Moore of the Oregon Brass works, Portland, is in the city securing a quantity of pure metals purchased from the wreck, of the Re public, which will be cast into bells r other polished work for which his foundry is celebrated. Some time ago the press of Port land denounced, as a terrible nuisance, the loud and continued whistling of steamboats that has annoyed every body for years. Why, says one, it is a perfect nuisance, which the engin eers should be compelled to abate. Now listen at the buzzing Bee; "Can't some enterprising, patriotic steamboat man put a calliope on the Wallamet? This citv is certainly large enough to merit such consideration," Not for Jay! You ain't play that on Gould. To Hip pomimttce on lire and water, who were instructed to purchase a steam fire engine, for Astoria Engine Com pany 2fe.l: . AW the committee appointed by said companv to choose an engine, liavo-cho-sen an Amoskeag Engine, and would ask that ou purchase a second class nniiiMiopk. double-nluimer, or double ensine, with a third-class finish, with one head light, 22 feet rubber suction, with holders so that it can remain at taohed to the engine, the engine to be as Huht as can be had of that size and class. To be drawn by hand with extra attach ments for horses. The hose connection tn rttriAvo a two and one-half inch hose. the. connections three inches. The run ning gear to be painted red, and to be delivered in Astoria, Oregon, in time to be cleaned and tried and to be used for parade on the Fourth day of July, 187U, albO heaters complete to come wmi me engine, for which we will be ever thankful. , , The name, Astoria No. 1, to be paint ed on said engine. John W. Welch, Peter Wjltjelm, W. W Parker, Committee of No. 1. As a member of the committee,.! objected to the selection they had made, for the reason that I thought the engine named by them entirely too heavy and expensive for the city at the present time. But not desiring to be obstinate in the mattertl suggested that we write to both the Silsby and Amoskeag manufacturing companies and ascertain just, what they would do, and get the prices of each of their different engines. But 1 was over ruled in that; the foreman of No. 1 declaring that they miub have a second class Amoskeag by the 4th of July for parade, "holding these truths to be self-evident" that it would be the last opportunity for him to have the honor of marching at the head of the com pany as foreman, (tho firemen's elec tion is in August I think). In fact Mr. Foreman was so anxious that the en gine should arrive by the 4th, that he suggested it be sent by telegraph. The Manchester locomotive works at Manchester, N. H., was at once telegraphed to for terms. They re plying that they had instructed W. V. Everson, their agont, to visit bur city and confer with the committee. Mr. Everson arrived and after several days consultation with him, and members of the council aud Astoria Engine Co. No, 1, the committee agreed and entered into contract with him for a second-class Amoskeag engine; the citizens subscribing the sum of $400, the differences between a second and third-class engine. Now, as I have given the facts in this matter, I would jisk: has not the committee on fire and water acted just and fair, and whether or not they should be censured. Peter Runey. IVi.

Jay Gould has lately made a journey to St. Louis to look after his western railroad connections that are destined to break down Vander bilt's schemes for railroad monopoly. The Globe views his coming very pleasantly and says that if he suc ceeds in his scheme it will be cause for rejoicing since the Vanderbilt pool is calculated to make one vast monopo I3 of the trunk lines between the west and east Those who are airaia because he is interesting himselt in Oregon transportation can take heart when they learn that he is so favorably considered by the people of the great west.
