Mr. A. Mclvenzie, the ship
builder, is making rapid progress in
the construction of 11. B. Parker's
new steamboat.
Messrs. Trenchard & Fairfowl re
ceived a dozen head of dairy cows and
a lot of calves by the Bonita yester
day, for their Lewis and Clurk dairy
ranch.
Several cords of railroad ties,
picked up opposite the wharves dur
ing the recent high water, are now
bein;: cut tip for fire wood by China
men. Mechanics in Astoria need not be
idle, especially carpenters; the sup
ply is not equal to the demand. Call
on W. B. Headington for proof of the
trath of this item.
A few cases of the influeuza, so
prevalent with the horses throught the
interior, have appeared in Astoria.
We are glad, however, that the ani
mals affected are recovering.
The usual service will be held in
the Young Men's Christian association
hall at a quarter to three o'clock this

and Sankey's hymns Everybody
cordially invited to attend.
Mr. Theodore Broeraser is the

will be used for business purposes.
The old residence buildiBg which
has stood for so many years on Astor
street, next to Bain & Co's, is now
being torn away to make room for the
new building which Messrs. Bain &
Co. intend erecting in connection with
their present works.
A burning flue at the restaurant
f ThoB. McFarland, at a late hour
Friday night, would doubtless have led
to a destructive conflagration had not
rain and hail interfered. For over a
half hour the burning sparks escaped
from the flue in quantities sufficient to
ignite adjacent buildings were they
not covered with hail and rain.
Fairfowl and Trenchard's natty
little yacht, the John Nation, presents
a very different appearance since
Surprenant and Ferguson commenced
work on her. The alterations they
have effected improve the appearance
of the vessel and will certainly render
her more safe during rough weather in
these waters. The alterations and re
pairs will be completed in a few dayp.
A new telegraph company was
formed in Astoria yesterday. The
line is to- run from the Oregon Rail
way and Navigation companys dock
to the Western Union office at the
Occident hotel. The projectors of
this new enterprise are Messrs. Noyes,
Newell, Martin and Rogers. Messrs.
Newell and Martin are the operators,
Mr. Noyes superintendent, and Eben
Rogers general manager.
Astoria Improvements
It will doubtless interest our readers
to know that besides the extensive
addition now in course of construc
tion to the Occident hotel by Messrs.
Megler and Wright, the handsome
stores recently erected by Mr. John
Hobsou, and many other improve
ments under way in this city, plans
and designs are now being drawn by
Mr. A. W. Ferguson, the well known
architect and builder, for n family resi
dence for one of our enterprising
! citizens, which in beauty of architec
tural design and extensive proportions
will far surpass any private residence
that has ever been erected in this city.
We were ghwl to hear this, but still
more pleMd w hen Mr. Fernson in
formed us that as soon as his present
task is completed he has been iiisturct
ed to hold himself in readiness u desigti
another residence, xvhicli will, though
perhaps not s large, exceed in cost
and ornamentation the one he is now
engaged upon. We are not at liberty
at present to mention names, but our
citizens can rest assured that Astoria
is coming up to the front.
The Young Misses Sociable.
The sociable given by the young
Misses of the Presbyterian church at
the Young Men's Christian association
rooms on Friday evening was a decided
success. At an early hour the rooms
were crowded with a happy throng of
young and old all evidently bent on
thoroughly enjoying themselves. Not
were they disappointed. The pro
gramme for the evening was splendid
ly arranged by the girls who had
charge of the evenings entertainment.
The musical and litorary exorcists
commenced with an instrumental per
formance by Messrs. Mackintosh and
Richardson, followed by a beautiful
combined song and recitation, "The
Rock of Ages," by Miss Minnie Sher
man: a solo by Miss Esther LI olden;
reading by 3Iiss Frankie Corwin;
-ocal duet, Miss H olden aud Mr.
Mackintosh; recitation by Miss Emma
11 olden; song, sola, by Mr. Mackintosh,
and closed with a reading by Mr. F.
D. Wiuton. 3Iiss Nellie Flavcl pre
sided at the organ with her usual taste
and ability. The ice cream, cake aud
coffee were delicious, and last, but
not least, twenty dollars were netted
by the girls over and above all ex
penses, which was donated to the
Presbyterian church.
King "Calico," of the Sandwich
islands, is a "man of color."
Pomeroy boasts of a child less

Michigan has produced a pig with
a trunk. ThiB thing must be checked.
Love, me, love my dog. Canines

around to yank poor Tray to the dog
pound. If you love you dog, deposit
two and a half with Dement aud get

Sport will be apt to go the "demnition
bow-wows."
Our citizens have a rich literary
treat before them in the announced
lecture of the Rev. B. S. McLafferty
at the Congregational church on
Tuesday evening. We hope his audi
ence will betBufn'ciently large to show
that real literary ability is duly ap
preciated by Astorians.
The employes f The Astokiju
office all join us in acknowledgment of
the kind remembrance by the young
Misses wha so successfully carried out
the sociable given by them at the
Young Men's Christian Association
rooms on Friday evening last. May
you all live long and give many such
saciables is the wish of the printers.
We are glad to knuw that another
local enterprise is on foot in this city.
Messrs. James & Lupton, formerly of
San Francisco, are engaged in fitting
up an establishment for the manufac
ture of soda water and all kinds of
syrups. A portion of their stock and
plant was shipped on the bark Rival
and is expected to arrive shortly.
Their soda and syrup factory is located
in the building adjoining the Parker
house. Messrs. James & Luptn have
our best wishes for their success.

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 f maturer years, to enlighten
and bless the world with their pni
fotind 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 horse hns 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 of his nostrils is terrible.
He smelleth the battle afar off, the
thunder of the captains and the
shouting. Between these two ex
tremes of the child at his first school
composition, and the professional
literature, we have every grade of pre
tention, and each professing to have
mastered the whole subject. As we
approach the close of this nineteenth
century, we begin to look for some
thing better in this department of
knowledge from those win assume to
instruct." And it is to be found in
Kendalls Treatise on the horse, sent
by mail to any person for twenty-five
cents, postage puid. Apply to The
Astokiax office, or address D. O. Ire

1SS0. James I. Fellows. Dear Sir:

cases of Consumption, and other Lung
and Throat diseases, with the most
gratifying results. D. A. Artf.b, si. d.

. For the best Beer in Astoria,
call for the Columbia Urevcery Beer,
acknowledged to be superior to all
others.
The Astokiax job presses will
fit you out with your winter supplies
of letter-heads, bill-heads, cards,

By a recent postal decision men
can actually make money by getting
their bills and statements of accounts
printed. Statements of accounts and
bills of sale when made out on paper
having printed headings, can be sent
by mail for one cent, if the envelope
ib left unsealed; whereas, if it is made
out on unprinted paper, it will cost
three cents. Thus by patronizing The
Astoejak two cents can be saved on
every bill or statement that is sent out
through the mail.
SnSome say that it is no use for them
to advertise, that they have been in the
place in business all their lives, and
everybody kuows them. Such people
seem to forget to take in consideration
that our country is increasing in popu
lation nearly 40 per cent every ten years,
and no matter how old the place may be,
there are constant changes taking place ;
some move to other parts, and strangers
fill their places. In Uiis age of the
world, unless the name of a business
firm is kept constantly before the public,
some new firm may start up, and. by
liberal advertising, in a very short time
take the place of the older ones, and the
latter rust out, as it were, and be forgot
ten. No man ever lost money by judi
cious advertising.
rVhat pleasure it is to pay ones
debts ! In the first place, it removes that
uneasiness which a person feels from
dependence and obligation. It affords
pleasure to the creditor, and therefore
gratifies our social affection. It pro
motes that future confidence which is so
interesting to an honest mind. It opens
a prospect of being readily supplied
with what you wanton future occasions.
It leaves a consciousness of our virtue;
and it is a measure we know to be right,
both in point of justice and sound econ
omy. Final Iyt it is the main support of
c!iple reputation. Pay us, that we may
pay others.
Syphon Study Lainp.
Hon. I. W. Case, of Astoria, in
placing the new Syphon study lamp
on the market, would call the atten
tintion of the trade to some of its
merits. Its illuminating qualities are
not equalled by any study lamp in use.
It gives a steady, brilliant light; is
free from unpleasant odo.rjdoes not drip
either when burning or not burning;
easily lighted and trimmed, and is
without exception, the most conveni
ent lamp to till ever made. Directions
accompanyinir each lamp. Call upon
Mr. Case aud buy one. He sells them
at remarkable low rates.
