The steamship California, which sailed about two or three weeks ago frem Port Townsend for San Fran cisco direct, will not touch at this port on her return. She was to have nailed on Sunday from San Francisco direct for Port Townsend. On ar riving there she will proceed to Sitka. A large audience assembled at Liberty hall last evening to witness the performance given by the Astoria Dramatic association for the benefit of Grace church parish school. The plays were well selected and rendered with Euch completeness as would do credit to professionals. It was a de cided success. We regret exceedingly that an item in Sunday's issue caused such a flutter amous; susceptible bachelors. About forty have accosted us since, seeking information on the subject, Trhich we cheerfully gave, as we hare always entertained a heartfelt interest in anything pertaining to tke growth of our city. Messrs. C. Timmons it Co. are building a new cannery at upper As toria in the same block upon which the cannery of the Fishermen's Pack ing company. Piles are now being driven and the work of building will soon be commenced and completed be fore the beginning of the season. The members of the thin are C. Timmons, F. C. lteed. A. T. Brakke and B. Gallagher. The gentlemen are still members of the Fishermen's Packing company. Two lots of leather, shipped by the Hemlock tannery, leaves the Ore gon Railway and Navigation com pany's warehouse by steamer Colum bia; one lot to Cheyenne and the other to Chicago. The Hemlock tan nery, owned by Messrs. C. Leinen weber fc Co., was established in 1857, since which time he has gained the reputation of manufacturing the best leather in the world. The large ship ments which are constantly being made throughout the entire United States prove this fact. The Ship Pnnce Amadeo. Capt. Linskill, .so well known in this city, in writing to j friend here givos the following particulars of his lute rough passage from Hongkong to San Francisce: "We sailed from Hong kong, September 20th, encountered a violent typhoon while in latitude 21. oO imrth, longitude lir. 23 east, on Soptomber 23d. The storm set in from the northeast ami shifted around to the &outhM)t. The whde time of its duration ws sixteen lunirs. The sea was so vioiont heavy and the Ittirri cuiiu blew .so that nothing cnild be dune save ran before the wind under lre jntkss. Two of the Wats were htoi'e in and rendered weless. The skylight and binnacle wre washed away. To add to the dfe-may if the crow, one of their number was carried overbond by u tttuntm.ee sea. Xtth ing could be done to save the un fortunate man. His name was C. Cataldo, he was an I taliau. Following the storm we had eighteen days of light wind. On the first f October we passed Pratas shoals and saw a steamer ashore. On ( )ctober the H0'v , while in latitude 24, 04 north, longi tude 12." eatt, a second typltoon, blow ing from the south southeast and veer ing to the northeast, struck the vessel, and for twenty-four hours endangered the safety H all mi board. The gale was followed by light northeast winds and a heavy sea. A succession of heavy gales from south to north, auei veering from north to south, were ac companied by sJiov.-Mjualh from Ronin islands to 14U degrees west. Latterly the wiuAs wore variable and the weather moderate. We arrived in San Francisco after 11 passage of lOd days." The Splendor of Venus. The increasing splendor of Ventis must attract the attention of even one who glances at the western sky after sundown. She is fast approach ing the earth, and in a few tveeks a very slight magnifying power will show her as a beautiful crescent. It is a curious fact that the great brilliancy of Venus has battled the astronomers who have sought to leani something of the physical aspect 01 the planut. The most exquisitely constructed tele scopes are unable to penetrate the dazzling va.il thrown around this planet by the sunlight reflected from its surface. This is the more disap pointing, because there are many rea sons for believing that venus is in a condition more nearly resembling that of the earth than any other planet. "Why ihould we celebrate Wash ington's birthday more than mine?" asked a teacher. "Because he never told a lie!" shouted a little bov. Captain Simmons, of the bark Great Western, has gone east to take charge of the new steam collier Wil lamette, the iron steamship launched on the 1st iiiBt. at Chester, Pa., for the Oregon Railway and Navigation company. The executive committee having in charge the arrangements for the inauguration ceremonies of General James A. Garfield, has invited through Capt. Wilkinson the president, facul ty and cadets of Pacific university, to be present at the same on the 4th of March. Only colleges where a mili tary officer is on duty is thus honored, hence the Pacific university is probably the only college west of the Rocky mountains, whose officers hare receiv ed this special compliment. Mr. F. P. Arbuckle, agent of the Pacific colony, is now on his way to this state from Kansas for the purpose wf selecting a location for the members of the same. The colony is to consist of one hundred families from the town of Russell, Kansas, and it is the inten tion on coming to the great northwest to secure a tract of iand sufficient for the location of the entire party, and form a town of their own. Mr. Ar buckle is expected shortly and will start out 111 search of the desired land as soon as possible after his arrival here, as the members of the colony are anxious to become settled in their icw homes. The wedding of Commander Hen ry Gluts, of the United States navy, now in command of the sloop-of-war Jamestown, stationed at Sitka, Alas ka, and Miss Ella Johnson, a well kuown society bell of Oaklaud, Cali fornia, will take place in Portland about the 1st prox. The prospective groom could only obtain twenty days leave of absonce from his vessel, and will arrive in Portland about the 33th inst. The intended bride will, accom panied by her mother and sister, her brother, Mr. Frank S. Johnson, and a few intimate friends, meet him here, and upon his arrival the wedding will take place. After the ceremony the newly married couple will leave on the California for Alaska, where they will remain until Commander Glass is ordered elsewhere. Travels in Alaska. Archbishop Seghers delivered a lec ture on Ahiska at The Dalles last week, of which the Times says: "He started fr that country in May, 1S77, in one of the Alaska. Com mercial company's steamers. from Na- naiino. After arriving he had a con siderable distance to travol on foot, and the ground being extremely marshy, the trip was very difficult. The side hills are chosen on account of solid KMOing. which made the route long and tedious. Winter is chosen as the best season for traveling, as then the lakes which intersect the country are fr.en over, and the marches are stmcieutly slid to be walked over without danger. The speaker related his exjHjrienee t making two winter trips over the snow ami ice to visit Indians in distant parti. At one time he penetrated as far north as to be only twenty-five miles distant fri.m the Arctic circle. Hi description of the mode of making journeys in sledges drawn by dogs was very interesting. At times intense cold was experienced, the mercury going as low as 00 degrees lelow zero. At night the pkee of rest was in "barabaras" a house dug in the ground by the natives if he was for tunate enough to reach ene: if not, a hole uas cut in the snow, a fire built, and there the weary hours were passed until m-Hiiing. In one of tiiese tours he was accompanied by a Russian and Canadian trader ami four 1 ndiaus. A great many incidents which the speak er related as having ocenrred on those journeying were decidedly humorous, and the audience were unable to keep sober countenances. The Yukon river, the Archbishop considered as third mi the continent. He had crovsed it on the ice (J00 miles from its month, and it was three miles wided. The river becomes blocked in the latter part f October, and contin ues so until April. This river has never been thoroughly explored, and its length is not known. It is a mag nificent sheet of water in the summer, but presents a dreary aspect when closed by ice gorges in winter. To illustrate the costume in winter in Alaska. His ftrace went behind the scenes, and in a few moments came out arrayed in a coa and hood of rein deer skin, leggings and shoes of seal skin soles, and uppers vf deer skin. He explained the manner of wearing thse in extreme cold weather, and also stated that some Indinis were in the habit of making their coats of sal mon skin, which are impervious to water. Clothed in this attire, he gave the audience specimens of some of the songs of the native Alaskans, which evince both melody and time. One, especially, sung by the women, has a very plaintive air. These were a de cided improvement upun'the guiteral lugubriatione indulged in by our In dians. Mr. Seghers is a very pleasant and agreeable speaker, and all seemed to take great interest in his descriptions. He as frequently applauded, aud during some of the ludicrous remin iscences the audience were convulsed with laughter. In a short newspaper article we can barely give a synopsis of the Iecmre, which occupied two hours and a half, and in the above have but attempted a brief outline of some of the important parts." --Harrison Rice, father of Hon. S. Rice, comity judge of Multnomah, who resided twelve miles southwest of RoEeburg, died on Saturday from in juries received on Friday while riding a vicious horse from water. Heretofore the merchants of Ida ho city, Idaho, have had their freight taken from Saw Francisco to Kelton on the Central Pacific railroad, and hauled from there .at a cost of G 50 per hundred. Xow they have made arrangements with the Oregon Rail way and Navigation coinfiany to bring their freight by way of Portland, and by the change will save about $2 on each one hundred pounds.
