Several dilapitated looking tramps have been begging from house to house on the outskirts of the city the past few days. See that your tloors are locked when you leave home. Major Jairaes Lotan, inspector of boilers, and J. P. Ward, esq., inspector of hull b, were in the city yesterday and inspected the steamer Magnet. They return to Portland this morning. A street lamp should be placed on the corner of Jefferson and Olney streets. It would certainly not be amiss should the attention of the com mon council be called to this impor tant need. The British ship Dallam Tower arrived in San Francisco recently, 27 days from Shanghai. This is the fast est passage on record between the two ports. The time of the American ship Ringleader, which was the best before this time, is beaten by two days. O. P.

Lieut. Eltonhead at present in charge at Canby will be transfered to fort Stevens, to take charge. We under stand these changes are only temporarily. Fears f Another Flood- From the latest reports received yesterday, it seems certain that the W'illamet will rise to the bight attained January 36th, when it reached twenty one feot and six inches. The reports when received indicated that the river would rise fur another twenty-four hours. The Wiliainet at Portland nse two inches per hour, and at Salem five inches per hour. The Sniitiain, the principal tributary f the Wil lamot, was rising at the rate of one inch per hour and as within five inches of reaching last mouths mark. j The Columbia is rising rapidly.

Thomp-on made the trip from The Dalles to the Cascades. Jt it likely that navigation will Imj resumed beyond Colilo to-day. Salvage on the Dakota. In our i-siu of Thursday last we made mention, (the information hav ing been lereived from a Puget sound paper) that the Pacific Coast Steam ship company hud made a claim for salvage upon he entire cargo of the Dakota, and have demanded of every consignee six per cent, upon the value of his consignment. The salvage was claimed by the Victoria, which steamer it was reported belonged to the same company as the Dakota. We are since in receipt of reliable information that the Victoria does not belong to the Pacific Coast Steamship company, but some of the fctockholdei- of that com pany own part of her. It is therefore not the Pacific Const Steamship com pany who claim vilvage on the Da kota. lit Salem all the saloons are closed on Sunday. President Hayes will soon March 4th from the White House.

Johnson, of Goose lake, writes to a friend in Astoria that the present winter so far has been the mildest that country has experienced for a number of years. Since his ar rival at Goose lake he has turned his attention principally to agricultural pursuits. He has probably several mules to deal with, we would infer, from the fact that he writes f.ir three of Kendall's treatise on the horse. He says: "The railroad from Reno is pushing towards us rapidly and 1 presume that your Astoria and Winwe mucca line will connect at the state line or pass through this vicinity, not a great distance from Goose lake valley. So hurry tip your railroad business, for we want a through con nection." Mr. Johnson expects to be in Astoria early in the spring. Mr. Grimes arrived in the city yesterday from the Sea-side aud re ported that another body from the ill fated Lupata came ashore on Thursday near the Grimes house and was given christian burial. It was undoubtedly one of the six bodies reported to have come ashore over a week ago. The head was gone, which was probably caused by the body beating against the rocks. The body had in several places been oaten by birds. The spot where the six bodies were first seen is situated between two high bluffs pro jec ting so far into the sea that man can only round them at extreme low water, and then only when no heavy swell interferes. During the past week the sen has been so high that to reach the spot was impossible, conse quently our informant could not state whether the bodies were there yet or not. Another attempt, however, will be made to roach the spot, to-day. For h variety of valentines, com ical and sentimental, call at Stevens & Sons. The Choice of Books.
