The British bark Crossliold sailed from Liverpool for this port on the 2Gthinst. The Ocklahama brought down a lot of Astoria freight yosterday, carried past by the Oregon. The bark Rival, from San Fran cisco, arrived yesterday and is at Mam street wharf discharging Astoria freight. The American bark Oasis, from this port for Queenstown. was spoken December 23-1 in latitude 30 south, longitude 2G west. Mr. John Muir, general freight and passengor agent of the Oregon Railway and .Navigation company, was m the city yesterday. T. B. Cornwall, of Sun Francisco, telegraphs that the steamer California will come this voyage to Astoria, where she will receive passengers and freight from Portland. She will sail from Astoria next Saturday, April 2d. On her next trip the steamer will go to Portland. Remember that on Saturday even ing next the Espinosa concert company will give one of their select concerts at Liberty hall. This company has the well deserved reputation of being the best on the Pacific coast and we trust that nothing will prevent them from treating our citizens to one of the best concerts they ever heard. The interior papers are full of praises of them and as our citizens are a music loving people there is no doubt that they will give their patronage. Reserre seats at Carl Adler's without extra charge. We yesterday visited the pilot schooner J. C. Cousins and were much surprised to find a yacht not to be ex celled for beauty on this coast. The Cousins is a schooner of forty-nine tons register and built as strong as wood and metal combined would make her. As a sailer her rival could be found in but few waters. Her cabin is large and commodious and finished in exceedingly good style, resembling that of modern elegantly finished cabins on the finest steamships. The fresco work on the ceiling of this cabin alone cost five hundred dollars, which chows that no expense was spared in elegance. Every part of the vessel is utilized in the best possible way mak ing every convenience perfect. Aboat one o'clock yesterday after noon a severe and almost fatal accident happened to a little daughter of Mr. Geo. Hill in this city. The lit tle girl, aged about five years, in com pany with other playmates, was play ing in front of the residence on Chenamus street, when one of Mr. R. B. Parker's teams passed by and the children jumped on. The child acci dently fell off the side about midway between the two wheels, the hind wheel of the heavy truck passing over the girl about the waist. Dr. Severn was immediately summoned and he ascertained that some bones were -broken, but thought tho child would recover. Allowing small children to ride on wagons is a practice that team sters should abate. We have several times before called attention to this matter. Improving the Bar. The Oregonian of the 29th copies from'TiiK Astoria the communica tion from "Taxpayer" in the issue of the 26th inst. and adds: A prominent residont of Astoria, writing to x gentleman of this city, says: Enclosod I semi you my plan for improving the lmr, or ratlier for uusing the means for temporary im pw.veuieut. lint"! am told that Asto ria ?hrt4r will Mot aitow aay expen- iture. eseepr lor miuiuifai irttriHee.

We earnest ly hope that the gentleman referred to by the Oregonian will make himself known that others may follow the worthy example set by him. Lights on Small Crafts.
