There was no sn yesterday. This is a .-itary item. The Melancthun and North Demi are loading at Knapptoii. The steamship Columbia had not arrived down at a late hour last night. The steamer State of California arrived about nine o'clock yesterday. The Donita is again on the Astoria- Portland rMite. She has been thoroughly overhauled and makes good time. Several flg& were displayed throughout the cty yoMerday in com memoration f the birth of Washing ton. The steamer George ilariey with lumber from Knappton, arrived at San Francisco on the 11) th hist. The schooner Annie Ghee from Shoal water bay also arrived on the same day. The social party given at Liberty hall last evening by several young men of this city, was a very pleasant CTent. Although the weather was very disagreeable a large number were present and spent a very pleas-ant evening. Ex-Governor Downey and vtife, of California, were passengers by the incoming steamer State of California jeslerday. Governor Downey is firm and earnest in his belief that Oregon is fast becoming one of the greatest commercial states of the union. He will visit the Cascades and upper Co lumbia before his return to California. A notice was issued yesterday by the board of foremen stating that, on account of the lack of interest shown by the firemen, there would be no de partment ball last evening; hence the result. Astoria has a department which for efticieucy cannot be excelled n this coast, and we regret that such difnssion ensued. However, we think the boys have always done their duty, as lias been attested by the prompt and efficient manner in which they have rendered services to the city, and at the risk of their own lives and property have saved the city from disastrous conflagrations. There is but a 6mall portion of the department who have anything to lose by Sre, and we do not think they should be per sonalty taxed for any repairs to appa ratus or other property. Mr. Prank Keelar, for whom E. C. Holdcn has been selling goods lately, was yesterday uied before Po lice Judge Rnney on a complaint for violating a city ordinance in eelliug goods at auction without a license. Defendant claimed a juiy trial, and the defence set up was that the ' n.ids were sold at auction by E. C. Holden, a duly licensed auctioneer and at his auction rooms, for which consider ation he received jis per arrangement five per cent, on the gross sales, and that after Mr. H. had opened the sale and been selling for about two hours he requested the defendant to sell for him. f The prosecution contended that the ordinance prohibited any such author it' from a licensed auctioneer to an other, and hence this suit. The jury did not so construct the ordinance in this case, and after a short absence found a verdict for the defendant. Mr. J. W. Robb conducted the case for the city, and Mr. F. D. Wmton for the defendant. Immediately after the rendering of the verdict Mr. Keelar paid twenty dollars into the city treasury and took out a years license as auctioneer in this city. The Benefit The amateur performance given by the ladies And gentlemen forming the Astoria Dramatic association for the benefit Grace church parish school, was mst eminently successful. By the time the curtain rose noarij every seat in the dress circle as well as in the spacious gallery was tilled. The first piece presented was the nautical drama of Down by the Sua. If space per mitted we would like u particularize each individual part sustaiuded in this interesting drama, but whore all did so well it is periiapa unnecessary. We mu.t, however, make mention of the natural and thoroughly artistic ability displayed by tlie young ladies. Miss L. L. Allen, as the rogufeh little coquette, Kitty Gale, and Mif C. L. Uewett, as the dignified and accom plished city belle, Kate Raymond, were simply perfect in their clever characterizatiens: while Miss Nellie Pluiiitner, as Mother Gale, displayed a conception of the part so natural as to bring down the house in fre quont applause. The laughable farce of Thirty Minutes for Refresh ments closed the pleasant evening's entertainment, in which Miss Laura Worsley cleverly personated the char acter of Holly, and Mr. "A. B. Adair sustained the leading part of John Downby with much ability. We migh justly offer a meed of praise to Messrs. Thomas, Parker, Ferguson and Allen, and especially to Mr. A. P. Anderson for his really clever per sonation of the dandy English Captain, did space permit. The first perform ance of the Astoria Dramatic asstcia tion can be chronicled as successful, artistically and financially. The O. R. & N. Co's New Colliers. A correspondent of the Nautical Gazette w rites from Chester, Pennsyl vania, under date of January 2Cth: To-morrow morning at 10 'clock the new steamer Willamette, which was built for C. H. Mftllory & Co., but which wa, when nearly completed, purchased by the Oregon Railway and Navigation company, and altered into a collier, will be launched from the shipyard of John Roach A: Sou. r?he is known as "No. HKS," and is of the following dimensiens: Length be tween perpendiculars, olti.2 feot:" iver all, :..!) feet; beam, IJO.l feet; depth of hold, '24 feet: three decks; depth of floors, 24 inches: frames, 4ix3 inches. She is schooner rigged, with a stand ing square sail yard. She has a com pound engine 38x70x54 inches, six boilers 1 1 feet in diameter. Her deck houses are all of iron and contain ac commodations for the officers and crew and a limited number of passengers. She is a collier and has a capacity of from 2,200 to 2,500 tons of freight coal, and is the first one built for the Pacific coast. Mr. Roach is also building for the Oregon Railway and Navigation company two more steam colliers--N3. 201 and 202-both of the following dimensiens: Length between perpendiculars, 010 feet; over all, 332 feet; beam, 40.C feet: depth, 24 feot; compound engine, 40x74x54 iuches; each to have six boilers 11 feet in diameter. The British bark Badura is due at this port. She arrived off San Fran cisco on Wednesday last and was ordered to Portland. The board of supervising inspec tors of steam vessels, at a recent meeting in Washington, had under consideration the practicability of issu ing day-light licenses to pilots who inay be color-blind. These licenses would permit the pilot to exercise his duties during the daytime, when his color-blindness would interfere little if at all with his work. The scheme is of doubtful value. It is likely to lead to evils, and greater safety would be attained by not grantiug such licenses. The rule had better be made once and for all, that no one who is color-blind shall be granted a pilot's license. The loss incurred by this state during this winter's storms and lloods is so enormous that to give the prob able aggregate would seem to those who have not attempted a careful esti mate somewhat exaggerated. The destruction of farm lands, houses, fences, furniture, live stock, growing crops, etc., throughout the Wiliamot valley, the upper Columbia, and in fact throughout the entire state would foot up a loss that would be surpris ing. The benefits from abundant winter's rains are novor all profit, and in this season tlere are large deduc tions to be made before we count the net gains. Since the Chinese started to brow "cheap San Francisco beer" there is little or no demand for that article any more. Call for the Columbia brewery beer, if you want something good. Pianos and orgaus for sale on monthly installment ulan or for rent at Adler's. A New Steamship Line. A new company is now beiii organized for the purpose of fonn Itiof mi opposition Hue of steam ships to ply between. San Francisco and ports south. This trade has been carried on for main' years by the Pacific Coast Steam ship company, who. owning much of the wharf property at the land insrs alens: the line, have been able to ward off competition thus far with success At the head of this new company is .Mr. D. J. Mehcrin, a 'merchant of San Francisco, hav ing extensive business relations in the southern part of California, and who has interested the leading farmers and business men of that section in the new enterprise. Many of theae gentlemen are own ers of, or have an interest in wharf property at the ports where the new steamers will touch so that what has been the great obstacle to forming au opposition line is done away with in the present in stance. The company will incor porate as speedily as possible, and with ample capital pledged, at no distant date two new steamers with all modern improvements for hand linir freight and carrying passen gers will be making trips to south ern ports.
