It is now stated that fort Stevens will not be abandoned until early in July, company H, 21st infantry to remain there until that time. The Church Messenger (North C.nolina) states that the "Rev. J. C Atkinson, lale of England, and quite recently admitted to the priesthood by Bishop Lyman, lias gone to Ore gon." Mr. Atkinson is looked for on the next steamer. Where he will tike up his abode is not definitely settled. A San Francisco dispatch, dated 31it ult., states that the United States steamer Wachusetts sails on that even ing in search of the .stcaiur Ciiy of New York, overdue at that pirt. A report was in circulation yesterday that the steamer had arrived at San Francisco, but we could not obtain any reliable clue to the report. The City of New York has on board a large quantity of tin, mostly for this river. Iu another-column to-da' wiil be found a word from a cow in regard to the ordinance recently passed by the common council. The intelligence of this cow is certainly remarkable, and her card deserves the space it occupies. We are not advised whether this cow is a gentleman or not. However, we say bully .for a cow. We hope her wants will be attended to by our city fathers beef-ore long, and for informa tion we might refer her to the auditor and clerk or city attorney. We learn on good authority, says the Oregon City Enterprise, that it is the intention to abandon the salmon hatching business un the Clackamas. If this is done it is much to be re gretted, and we believe that the can nerymen on the Columbia river will not have to wait long ere they will see their error. The most of the. expendi ture necessary has already been made. The buildings are in splendid condi tion and so are all the appliances, the dam is intact and the fish rack is only a little expense et ery season. It is a fact that Kendall's Spavin Cure is all it is advertised to be. See their advtrtiseinent. A Wosd Prom a Covr. Aroici a. April 2, lfl.

Mr. Editor, I aut an unfortunate cow and I cannot read, and only that I am fortunate iu having a matcr who takes the As tokiax and can read, I should never lutre known the danger I am in. And w- -please -pardon my ignorance will yt kiudry inform me what are the requirements wjth which I must cnaply, or run the ,iisk of being ar reted by the oow-catcherf Anything 1 can do I sat perfectly willing to do, but ousht not your wise councilors to Hblteh in Twk Astorian a copy f the said ordinance so that intelligent and law-abiding cows may have a chance to wMMjJy with its require ments? And I would suggest, alio, it would only lc right and proper for thorn to cauee ;uide and finger posts to be erected defining the city limits t which tite ordinance applies. 1 am sure you will use your influence to secure us these favors, and forgive my boldness in addressing you, when you remember I am only A.

Long obituary notices must be paid for. j2rLook at it as you will, advertis ing carries with It a certain moral in fluence. Most people cannot resist tho impression that a man who advertises a large stock of fresh goods, Is more likely to have them than one who does not do so. Advertising has at least one good chance in its favor. 9Why are advertisers able to sell at the lowest prices? Is It not because they obtain the largest custom, by the most reasonable expend iture, aim are really able to buy lower than their neigh bors.
