We were unable to learn if the Columbia went to sea yesterday. Mr. E. D. Curtis and family re turned to Astoria from the valley yesterday. Jack Frost made his appearance yesterday morning, but too early for the average riser. Mr. C. H. Page's building was successfully placed on its new founda tion yesterday. The Pillar Hock packing company have commenced making cans and will complete 400,000 this year. Our wag thinks Nick Clinton will spile driving along the sidewalk near the Occident for a few days. The fare between Portland and Astoria by the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's steamships has been increased from three to five dol lars. Jewett & Kimball sere engaged yesterday moving the boilers for the Occident Packing company from Fk vel's dock to the cannery at upper Astoria. It required two trucks to move the largest one. The American ship Canada, which arrived at this port recently, has been libeled for debt, and is in charge, at present, of the United States marshal at Portland. The amount of the claim is SC7C 70, due the firm of Whitlock, Slcver & Co., of New York. This amount, it is claimed, was due the firm before the Canada sailed from New York over a year ago. As yet no bonds have been fixed by the court, and the vessel is in the custody of an officer. The old land driver was brought into service again yesterday on Che namus street to drive piles for the foundation of the new wing to be added to the Occident hotel. Many of the piles have rotted at the top, while near the ground they are as sound as the day they were driven. Piles that have stood along the water front for fifty years are still sound and show no signs of decay. The teredo has never been known at As toria or at the mouth of the Columbia river. A few of the young Misses con nected with the Presbyterian church have exerted themselves to get up a public sociable this evening at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association. The idea originated with them and if it is a success, as we hope it will be, the credit will be theirs, as the arrangements have all been made and carried out by themselves. The public are cordially invited to attend, admission is free, and a pleasant even lBgs entertainment promised. Mr. A. W. Cone, the well known boot and shoe maker of this city, has just returned from an extended visit to the Umpqua valley in this state. While there he effected the purchase of 160 acres of valuable land not far from Oakland, Douglni county, and intends shortly to move with his fam ily on to his farm. 3Ir. Cone informs us that he does not propose to raise grain, but will convert his land into a model hog ranch, for the purpose of manufacturing lard and curiDg hams, a business, Mr. Cone says, he is more proficient in than eTen shoemaking. If so, he will surely make it a success. While we are orry to lose so old and ueeful a fellow citizen as Mr. Cone, we neartily wish him prosperity in his tw undertaking. Capt Eads Coming to Oregon. By reference to our telegrapic columns it will be seen that Captain James B. Eads, notwithstanding the multiplicity of his engagements, has not forgotten the request made by our Chamber of Commerce last fall that he would, if possible, take an early opportunity to visit and examine the Columbia river bar. Although unsuc cessful in his application to congress for aid, he has n-r abandoned his ship railway scheme at Tehuantepec, but is now on the way to Mexico to secure the confirmation f his grant. From there he goes to Panama and thence to California, Humbolt bay and mouth of the Columbia river. Our Chamber of Commerce and citi zens generally, should begin to take the necuesary steps on anticipation of his visit to r city." The British bark Vale of Nith, from this port, arrived at Liverpool on the 8th inst. The stuAitier Annie Stewart, formerly on the Columbia river, is still in active service on the Sound. A Baker city pauper (?) who had been given two sacks of flour traded one of them off for a ball ticket. Mr. John W. PitUck, brother of H. L. Pittock, of the Orejjonian, died at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, on Wed nesday last. The Oregon Railway and Navig:. tion company's freight reductions to $2 a ton is the cause of much joy in the upper country. If a man attempts to enter your house at night for the purpose of robbery, just let him liave all yon have got in your gun. The steamer Katata arrived from St. Helens yesterday with a barge in tow, loaaded with lumber for Badollet & Co's station on Sand island. The bark Rival, which sailed from Siui Francisco for this port on the 7th inst. returned the same day, having dumaged her rudder in collision with the schooner Rosariu. The state Circuit-court will ad journ next Saturday until the next regular term, which is in May. Up to yesterday the court had been in session forty-one days. Fred. C. Hill, a youny man aged about twenty-five years, committed suicide in room No. 47 at the Occi dental hotel, Portland, about o o'clock Wednesday morning, by shooting him self through the brains with a pistol. Hill was almost a total stranger in the city. The new wharf boat at The Dalles was launched on Tuesday. About twenty persons were on board, mostly employes of the company. The di mensions of the boat are: Keel, 250 feet; width of beam, 50 feet, built to suit an incline depth of hold, one end five feet, at the other end eight feet. A report is current in The Dalles of a subterranean eruption on Dutch flat, about ten miles soatheast of that city. On Sunday noon while parties were excavating a hole sixty feet in diameter it immediately filled with water. The report is not confirmed. This has been heretofore a very dry locality. The Supreme-court docket, for the March terra, 1881, comprises several cases appealed from Clatsop county, viz: John W. Hugill vs. M. J. Kinney; J. M. Shivery vs. W. W. Parker and J. Q. A. Bowlby; Berg man & Berry vs. W. H. Twilight; John Briscoe vs. J. S. Jones. - -One hundred white men and five hundred Chinamen arrived at The Dalles from the Dayton division of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's railroad on Wednesday. They were taken down in the evening on the construction steamer Idahs, t work on The Dalles and Portland rail road. Mr. J. L. Hallett, superin tendent of construction also arrived and will proceed down the river to superintend the work. In our new ids. will be found notices of two auction saJeB by E. C. Holden, one on to-morrow at his auction rooms, the other a special sale on Saturday, March 19, at the store and residence of Mr. A. W. Cone, opposite the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's dock. The at tention of boot and shoemakers is especially called to this latter sale. As Mr. Cone is retiring from the busi ness his valuable plant of tools and implements will be sold to the highest bidder without reserve. Never go shopping without con suiting the advertising columns of Thb Astokiax. They will tell you where the best bargains are to be had, and just what merchants axe alive and doing business. Hore Education. In something written we have an indistinct recollection of having made reference to a general disposition among boys in their teens, as well as boys of maturer years, to enlighten and bless the world with their pro found knowledge of the horse and his history. Our books and newspapers are full of this kind of literature, and it varies in style from the production of the -child at school, commencing with: The hrse has four legs and a tail; up to the eloquent tribute of the scholar when he quotes from Jeb: That his neck is clothed with thunder and the glory f his nostrils is terrible. He smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains and the shouting. Between those two. ex tremes of the child at his first school comKsition, and the professional literature, we have every grade of pre tention, and each professing to have mastered the whole subject. As we approach the close1 of this nineteenth century, we begin to look for some thing better in this department of knowledge from those who assume to instruct. And it is to be found in Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent by nmil to any person for twenty-live cents, postage paid. Apply to The Astokiax office, or address D. C. Ire land, Astoria. Oregon.

ZSr-The time has long since passed when mechanical trades provided our sons with a living. Labor-saving ma chinery, patent tools and steam have robbed the trade of the future it offered to our boys in the days of the indentured apprentice system. The idlers and do noihings of our metropolitan cities aro comjwsed largely of tradesmen and professional men, and merchandising is a failure, if the number of bankrupt merchants who had to succumb to the pressure of the times can be taken as a criterion. What the country needs is pro ducers, and the waste fields of unculti vated land offers an opportunity to place the rising generation in theway-of mak ing aoines for themselves and better Units for posterity.
