Major Throckmorton and com pany were transferred from fort Stev ens to fort Canby 3'esterday by , the steamer Gen. Canby. Lieut. ElUui head and company were taken tv fort Stevens. After several days of monotonous thflwers, the wind 3'esterday shifted from southwest' to northeast, and the indications are we shall have another clear, cold spell. May the clerk of the weather verify our prediction. Sheriff Twombly leaves town this morning for the Nehalem valley, for the purpose of collecting county taxes due, and also to act as one of the as sessors of damages for the proposed wagon road from the valley to Wan dory's. The sheriff requests us to state that the tune for payment of taxes, without incurring additional cost, is getting very short, and that his deputy will be daily in attendance at the sheriff's office during "his absence, for the purpose of securing taxes and giving receipts therefor. The light-house tender Shobrick returned from Tillamook rock at an early hour yesterday morning bring ing Col. Wheeler and all the men who had been at work there putting the finishing touches to all the ma chinery necessary to piace every thing in effective working order on the rock. The boiler and machinery of the steam fog siron is all in position and gives perfect satisfaction. The head keeper and his assistants are all that remain there and Tillamook rock light-house is now an accomplished fact. Much credit is due to Col. Gillespie and his energetic and efficient assistants, that in bo short a space of time, compared with the magnitude of the work and the difficulty attendant upon its con struction, a structure so much needed and 50 substantial has been erected. A Pleasant Gathering. On Thursday evening last,, Mi&s Springer, of Portland, who ha been on an extended visit to friends in tins city, was the recipient of a very pleas ant party, at the residence of Mr. E. R. Hawes, on ChenHiuus street, gotten up by a few of her most intimate friends and admirers. Everything passed off very pleniint'y. Dancing was indulged in by about fifteen couples, and at a lale hour, after a bountiful supply of choice viands hid been served, the young lady's friends departed with many good wishes ex pressed for her futuie hapm'bs v.u welfare. Miss Springer lias made a host of warm friends during her stxy in Astoria, who will all be glad to hae her repeat the v:sit on some future occasion. Charade Party. A joyous scene of youth and beauty, with a sprinkling of a few whose more mature yoars was just sufficient to moderate the traneports of the young er ones, was presented in the parlors of the Fla'el residence on Thursday evening in response to invitations ex tended by the Captain's daughter, Miss Nellie, who received and enter tained her guests ns became one so popular as she among her friends in this city. At one end of the brilliant ly lighted rooms had been erected a temporary stage, and as sihju as the arrival of all of the invited guests had been announced the programme of the evening wan commenced, con sisting tim of the acting charade uf Li-(lie), Uni-(bray) Ry-(rye), the various diameters m which were abl) sut-taiucd, in costume, by the follow ing well know n cast: Fitz Hugh Brown A. P. Andrson Walter Anderson Ed. Thorn Dick Grav Mr. l. A. Mackintosh Mrs. Gray M iss Nellie Klavel Evelyn Graj Miss Eliza Boelling Mary Gray Mis Dora Iiadollct Colored Servant M r. C. A. Hale These comprised the characters of the play until the third act when a Hpeaker (Mrs. Duniway) was intro duced in the person of Mist. Nellie Pluuimer who did hcr&elf and the theme full justice. The Fecund part was a minor char adu "Sheet 3Iusic." which was fol lowed by another as pleasant and thrilling as the first, entitled "Cro quet," with the following cast: Harry Lear Mr. Fred Newell .jonu jsuiun jix. w. a. nan- Pat Marley Mr. B. Van Dusen Lena Le Veil Miss Eliza Boelling Bridget Miss Nellie Plummer In this, as in the other, the parts were well sustaiue'd, especially tliat by Mr. B. Van Dusen, as Pat 3farly the rollicking Irishman, whose finished act ing and inimitable Irish brogue prov ed hirn to be a better Paddy than amateurs generally are who tempt the thespian muse. Tableaux and other scenes in which the mirthtul element predominated were then introduced and successfully rendered, each one present fully appreciating the richness and Tariety of the entertainment af forded by their charming hstesa. The Emily Stephens Salvage Ques tion. Mossrs. Mnckie, Nicolai and Ewry, joint owners of the Emily Stephens, were all in this city on Tkursduy evening, and we regret to learn that between them and the salvors of the 6chouner no satisfactory agreement was consummated and that therefore the amount of salvage will of necessi ty have to be awarded by the United States Admiralty-court. This will en tail much additional expense and de lay, and it seems a pity that this al ways vexed question of salvage could not have been summarily settled in this case by mutual concessions or at least bv arbitration. The schooner Courser, from As toria, arrived at San Francisco on the 10th inst. The barkentine Melancthon Bailed from San Francisco for this port on Thursday last.

Come one, Lome all aud let us have a full attendance. By order, n. o. Attest: T. S. Jewett, b. b. COURT OF Uf QUHtY. Board of Pilot Commissioners. Captains J. A. Brown, I . G. Hus tler and J. H. D. Gray, pilot commis sioners, were engaged till a late hour on Thursday evening Last- on the in vestigation of a cliarge of carelesness, preferred against Pilot Hewett by Capt. Seymour of the British -ship Durham. After a careful inquiry into the circumstances of the case and tak ing all the evidence produced on both sides the board adjudged as follews: "Aftor hearing ths testimony and duly considering the matter, we find the facts in this case to be that on the first day of Jauuary, 1881, the Brit ish bark Baluiure was lying at anchor in Ahtona harbor about four or five hundred feet from the city front with room for a ship to pass on either side. The British bhip Durham, in charge of Pilot Hewett, and in tow of the tun Columbia, came into the harbor, aud in passing collided with the Bal- tnore. That at the time the Durham wus parsing the Balmore the latter took a sheer to starboard, caused by the current, and that Pilot Hewett lacked in judgment in passing too near the Balmore, thus causing the collis ion. We therefore find ttiat Pilot Hewett is liable for the damage sus tained by the said vessels as follews: To the ship Durham in the sum of sixty dollars, and to the bark Bal more in the sum of eighty dollars, aud for the expenses of the board." Roads and Road Supervisors. The following named gentlemen were appointed road supervisors by the honorable County-court, which closed its session on Thursday; District No. 1.

Report uf viewers of the road from Nehaletn to Wandory'a was handed in. $1,200 damages was claimed and asses sors appointed to assess damages. Correction. In a paragraph m the editorial column en "Rain Storms and Floods" in our issue of yesterday the omission of the little words "or a" altered the sense ef the sentence considerably. The closing remark should have read: "But it is to the toilers, the tillers ef the soil, our sympathies should be ex tended. Their individual losses may not be more than .- few hundred er a thousand dollars, but it will mean the all of many an honest and industrious citizen." The Columbia and Willamet rivers are fast receding. A petition has been presented to the dominion parliament, to prevent vessels from Puget sound of less than thirty tons capacity entering Victoria and other towns along the coast. N Portland mail reached Walla walla for twenty days. The first train arrived Wednesday night, bringing passengers and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express.

The damage sustained by the Harvest Queen in making the transit of Turn water falls will not exceed $ 1000.

Case, of Astoria, in placing the new Syphon study lamp on the mirket. would call the atten tintiou of the trade to some of its merits.
