This is a trick which George has taught them. The ladies of the Methodist Episcopal church arc preparing for a novel and interesting entertainment on the 22th Capt. Yarnberg is accompanied by his wife and mother-in-law, on -the present voyage of the schooner Kate L. Henvm to Tillamook. The catch of samon is increasing. We heard of several boats yesterday morning with an average f twenty, and one or two as high as sixty to the boat. Prisoners in Ihe county jail took a notion to change their apartments Saturday night, and quietly walked away. One of them, Sweeny tras re captured, Smith is still at large. We refer our lady readers to the card of Mrs. S. T. Mclvean, jn another column to-day. She is prepared to fill all orders in her line at satisfactory prices. Stamping done to order. One of the answers as to why it is that upper town grows past Astoria proper, is shown m the fact that out of forty fishermen attached to Badollet & Co's cannery, twenty-five have families and homes in upper Astoria; are identified with the place. A hard case jumped overboard from a vessel in Bakers bay, intending to escape. He was smoking a stub of a cigar at the time, and when arrested his first words -were "gimme a match." He lighted his stub and went on board. He is the same'eharacter who invaded Mr. McCabe's room at the residence of Mr. E. C. Holdun last summer one night. Old Mr. Burnsiue living a fow miles above Kuappa, left Iiib home last Thursday morning for Astoria in a skiff with a load of net floats. He was seen that afternoon abreast of Tongue point, by Capt. Fisher of the steam tender Sam, since which time nothing has been heard from, or seen of him. Fears are entertained that he has been drowned. Death of Capt FennelL A dispatch from Newport via Oor vallis April 9th, informs us that Capt Ponnell, of the govomncnt tug Gener al H. G. Wright, and three men were capsized on the Yaquiun bar in, a small boat while attempting to enter the baj One man was saved, and the captain's body was soon aftor recovered. Wright arrived off Yaquina bay at 7 a. m. on the sevonth. About 11 a. m. Captain Pennell, with three men in a small beat, left the tug apparently to find a channel. There was a strong ebb tide and the bar was rough. The boat was capsized on the bar. and Captain Pennell and seamen Maginms and Wannermark were drowned. The third man was saved by two Indians. Captain PenneH's body was recovered in tlie afternoon. The Gen. Wright crossed the bar safoly at G r. M. The tug Gen. Wright was purchased by Col. Gillespie for the government on the 20th f March, in San Francisco. Capt Pennell was given command and proceeded by special orders to Astoria direct. She loaded with provisions and materials and sailed for Yaquina bay on Monday, April 4th. Nothing more was hoard of the tug until tlm above news was rccoivod. The light house tender Shubrick crossed the bar bound out at the same time the tug passed over. Pilot Malcolm took the Canada to soa yosterdaj7, stoam tug Astoria at tending. Mr. Ackerman, of Tacoina, one of the purchasers of the Canada, was at the Occident last evening. Mr. Skinner is advised that the six papers returned to this office yes terday marked "missont" were not misscnt, and he ovorstopped his duty when he took the wrapper off the package Mr. Strauaberg rof erred to in the dispatches last week from New York, upon whom an infamous scheme was about to be practiced for the purpose of a black mail, is a partner in busi ness with an uncle of Mr. Carl Adler of this city. The police got away with the scheme and killed one of the schomors. Father Powers came very norr mooting with a disaster on the road way day before j'estorday, similar to the one which caused the death of his horse last year. Both were occasioned by Chinese carrying dead, hogs on a bamboo. It is time now for the coun cil to adopt an ordinance pnvidin that the dead carcases of animals must be hauled, and not carried through the streets. Let it be done to-night, gentlemen of the council. Printed circulars from the special land agent of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, reciting that they have resumed the sale of agricultural lands to actual settlers, upon the old terms, at 2 CO per acre cash, or 4 00 per acre on time, are public Upon these tonus about 5,000,000 acresembraced in the Pend d'Oreille division, in eastern Washington, are offered for sale. No settler can pur chase over 100 acres, and no deed will be executed until the settler makes proof of having twenty acres under cultivation. Mr. S. Hauxhurst of Tillamook, has placed upon our table a bound copy of the first volume of The West ern Journal, published in St Louis in 1848 by Tarver and Risk. As a relic of other da3's it is good, and for pur poses of comparison with the present condition of this coast, to which it frequently alludes, is valuable. The commerce and navigation of the Mis sissippi river and its tributaries forms the topic for an interesting article in the March number. In the July num ber a railroad from the Atlantic to the Pacific is discussed. In November the editor was trying to solve the questien: Where shall we find a mar ket for our surplus grain. Considerable discussion has taken place recently in Portland on the sub. ject of liquor in the engine houses. An ordinance was introduced at the last meeting of the council providing that if any person shall take into, cause to be taken into, or in any man ner use or drink in any engine house or hook and ladder house in the city of Portland, any spirituous or malt liquors; save at public entertainments which shall not bo held oftner than once in each three months in any one house; he or they shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before the police judge shall be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars.

Editor Astori ax: The conundrums propounded in The Astorias, touching one L. A. Banks, were copied by the Independ ent and excited a great deal of atten tion. The folks guessed ana guessed. but could not solve the riddle. It ! ,, it ,... , , l vp worse than the tiftcen puzzle and fk had to give it up.

There would j "be Banks in the foreground, support- j ed by the J'nneess fcarali v innemucca. j Tn the rear, and on either side would be a delightful group. There would ' be John P.

The picture would look so sweet if put in J a gut trame with nice green tn?ols on each side, aud hung in the arlor. But while the picture would look real nice, the logic is very poor. You see The Astoriax didn't make any charg es at all, just propounded the conun drums, and Mr. L. A. Banks savs nothing, and denies nothing, but the dear little girls and boys got mad, and say its a sin and a shame, because they had o give it up. But what do they know What does dear Mabel know about "poker?" What does Pat know about Philomath college? I am quite sure that the charming Pnncess Win nomucca could'nt even guess (the price of furniture"' at Corvallis. But little Mar' says she is sure that Louis never committed suicide, because Pat Murphy told me so, there now. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. If Air. L. A. . Well, 1 give it up. Judas I. l'rera the YaceMVr InJependent. On last Sabbnth evening the con gregation at the Methodist church took the following action in regard to the iu-sppr articles which have ap peared assailing the character of thir paster: Vaxcol' vkr, April 3d, lxsi. Wiiereiej an article has appeared iu Tun Astokian, and copied by several journals assailing the moral charac:er of Rev. L. A. Banks, pastor of the M. E church at Vancouver, Washumtoti territory. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the members of his church and congregation do herr by denounce those charges :is basely false and do hereby pledge ourselves to stand by him in the temperance reformation he has undertaken.
