The baric Rival sailed from San Francisco for this port on Saturday. Owing to the inclement weather lokalitcms were very scarce yesterday. The finder of a Large hinge key will please leave the same at this office. Sir. W. E. Them resumed duties on the Portland-Astoria route yester day. Mrs. A. Montgomery is lying dangerouty ill from a stroke of par alysis. The schooner Sparrow, hence Feb ruary 25th, arrived at San Francisco on Saturday last. The American ship Olive S. Southard sailed from Philadelphia for this port on Saturday Lost. Astoria Engine company No. 1 and Rescue Engine company No. 2 now hold their regular monthly meet ings on the same evening, viz., the first Monday of each month. The steamer Magnet now makes regular trips to Knappa every Wed nesday, and to Youngs river every Friday. The Magnet is a fast and splendid boat and can be chartered to any point n the bay. Jupiter Pluvious poured down his gentle drops so incessantly yesterday that the beamy countenance of Old Sol will probably be hidden for a Tveek. If Noah was here he would n doubt be building an ark. An impromptu musical entertain ment at Mrs. Arrigtmi's papular hotel on Monday evening proved an enjoy able one. It afforded an opportunity for several amateurs to display great volume of voice and rare brilliancy of expression which was becomingly ap plauded and appreciated. We are informed that a few of the younger young ladies connected with the Presbyterian church are per fecting arrangements for a pleasant sociable to be given by them at the Young Men's Christian association rooms on Friday evening next. As this is their first attempt in this direc tion, we doubt not every effort will be made by them to make it a success. We are promised further particulars to-day. The excursion of the Pacific Coast Press association left San Francisco on the Arizona express yesterday, for Colton, and will arrive there to-day. The programme is to visit the River side and Los Angeles fairs, Old aud New San Bernardino and the orange groves and vineyards of San Gabriel valley. Each editor, publisher and accredited reporter of any paper pub lished on the Pacific coast is entitled to join this excursion, for which a very low rate has been given by the rail way authorities. The Portland Standard of Satur day says: "The little steamer Emily Stephens has been withdrawn fron the piloting and towage opposition on the bar, and has been bartered for a sealing cruise off cape Flattery. She came up the river day before yester day, and leaves this morning for her new station, to be absent several months." The Emily Stephens is a schconer, not a steamer, and was never employed as opposition on the bar. She was recently picked up on the bar, derelict, the account of which, since published in newspapers through out the state, renders the Standard no excuse for such blunders. Again for the Arctic. Capt. C. L. Hooper, of the United States revenue service, has received orders to fit out the cuttor Tims. Cor win, now in San Francisco harbor, for another Arctic cruise in search of the Jeannette. Cant, Hooper writes to a friend in this cit that it is his inten tion, if possible, to complete all neces sary arrangements and have his-vessel ready to sail by the first day f May. Annual School Meeting. The annual meeting of the legal voters of school district N. 1 whs hold at the school house on Main street, at 7:110, on Monday evenint:.

The census of Oregon Gitv a taken by the school clerk is as follews: Votor5, 250; females over 20, 208: botween 4 and 20 years, 157; under 4 years, 58; males between 4 and 20 years, 108; under 4 years, 40; total population, 1121. This estimate does no include Chinese or Indians. Solucius Garfielde, at one time the most prominent man in Washing ton torritory, and accounted one of the most interesting public speakers of this coast, is said to be reduced to keeping game in a gambling house at Washington, where he sat in congress for two terms. This man had great natural qualifications, and his fall is lamentable. The Seattle Daily Post, of the 2d inst., says: "On Monday a pueer discovery was made out at Newcastle in the mine. The men engaged in oue of the rooms found imbedded in the coal petrified snakes quite a large number. They are judged to be about five tr six feet long. As yet none in porfect condition have been taken out. Rev. Mr. Wirth brought a section in with him yesterday. The prospect is now good for es tablishing a beet sugar factory, either at Puyallup or upon White river. Capitalists whose attention have been attracted by the tests of beets raised in that valley and White river, now offer to establish the enterprise if the farmers can guarantee a . supply of beets. The whole will cost not less than $200,000, and employ over a hundred men in the factor', besides those required in the fields. The mortgage of .$G,000,000, given by the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, on personal and real property to the Fanner's Loan & Trust company, also a mortgage of $5, 000,000 in favor of the same company given by the Oregonian Improvement company on their real and personal propert'. is now being recorded at the auditor's office at Walla-walla. The magnitude of the task can be fully ap preciated when the fact is taken into consideration that the printed instru ment occupy 150 pages of closely printed matter, which undertaking will take Capt. Ornu at least .three weeks to complete. These mortgages will have to be recorded in every county through which the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's line passes and in whatever county the Oregon Improvement company holds property. It is estimated that the recording of these deeds -will cost at least SI ,200. Fresh leaf lard at Warren and J Eaton's. The Velocity of Sound in "Water. The velocity of sound in water has been the subject of patient investiga tion. In the Scientific American of February 2(ith is given an article on the subject with two illustrations. Observers were placed in two boats, which wore moored at a certain dis tance apart on the lake of Geneva. One boat was furnished with an appa ratus, by which a submerged bell was struck, and at the same instant that a charge of gunpowder was iguited in the air abave it. In the other boat an oar trumpet was used to detect the arrival of the sound through the wa ter, tlie lapse of the time betweon the noise and the ilash being noted by a chronometer. By this meau3 it was ascertained that sound travels in wa ter at the rate m 4,7u3 feet per second, being about four times more quickly than in the air. It must be under tood that the velocity of sound in water, as in air, is subject to variation by temperature; the higher the tem perutuie the greater the velocity. Many practical tests have been made by which the distance sound could travel through water was ascertained. A most singular phenomenon of this nnture was experienced by the writer several months ago, in this vicinity. It was on a clear Sunday, in company with others, we were returning from a trip tip Lewis and Clark river, whither we had been on a fishing tour. When within about one mile from the mouth of the river, which empties into Youngs bay, a loud rumbling sound was detected 03 the ear which imme diately attracted the attention of all, and this singular noise gave an amount of pleasurable and interesting study to the entire party. The boat glided slowly down the stream, and, as a nat ural consequence, the sound was more distinct, and it soon became apparent that it was caused by a horse, hitched to a buggy, trotting on the streets of Astoria. This was at least four miles from this city, and so distinct was the sound that evory step taken by the an imal was ilainly heard. This may seem to some n exaggeration or utter imposbibilit', that a sound caused himpby b the movement of a horse aud buggy m the streets of a city should be conveyed x distance of four miles: but it is, nevertheless, a fact, and might probably be more clearly understood when it is taken into con sideration that the streets from whence the sound came are constructed on piling and surrounded entirely by water. A practical test might reveal the fact that when the atmosphere is in the proper state, sound may be con veyed through water for a consider able distance. The epizootic still prevails throughout the state. Mary Beam, a pretty well be haved young lady of 24 years of age, residing on Smith rher, nearCheatco, Curry county, a few days ago commit ted suicide by swallowing strychnine. From the appearance of the last number of the LewiBton Teller it would seem that their paper stock had been exhausted and they were com pelled to fall back on dry good stores. Right of way for the Dayton flume has been secured, and the work of building will commence immediately. The railroad has been graded from Walla-walla to Dayton, and the track will be laid to meet the tin me. The Dalles Times ys: "The snow king, who has -reigned over this country for the last three months, has at last vacated his throne. Chinook winds and rain during the week broke the back of winter, and the weather at present is as salubrious as spring. The Klickitat hills are once again free from their wintery covering, and those north of the city are also showing their natural growths. The streams have been swollen, and in some parts of town the walks have been flooded by rills from the melting snows. Mill creek has been higher than was ever remembered at this season of the year, and the water of the Columbia has gradually increased in volume." To Let. Several furnished or unfurnished rooms at Mrs. Munson's lodging house. Also, a few persons can have board it required, either ladies or gentlmen. J. IV.
