In the Clatsop cranberry swamps, the crop is now about ready for pick ing. A new saloon has been started at the Sea side, and aching voids no longer go unfilled. Dr. W. D. Baker returned from Portland yesterday, after nearly a two weeks' vacation. Frank Fabro docs not want any one to disappoint him by not calling around to taste his ice cream. On Andrew Anderson's place, on the Lewis and Clarke, stands a spruce nineteen feet in diameter. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Mallory ar rived from Portland last evening and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Arndt. Mr. Strauss will, on his return from below, bring up a large beer wagon to accommodate his increasing business. The Fall salmon fishing business is in full blast at the Seaside. S. Adair & Co. have a full crew and the run seems to be a very good one. Under the head "New To-d.iy," Mr. Noyes calls attention to the fact that the 0. II. & N. Co. are owners of certain property therein described. A trunk key was left at this oliice for identification yesterday afternoon. The owner can have it by making the necessary affidavit, describing ear marks, otc. We have received a large consign ment of cards and paper of the finest quality and can get them up for you in a degree of style and artistic finish unsurpassed in the state. Mrs. Derby has a new ad. in this morning's issue, stating that for a large and complete assortment of millinery goods her establishment neeus but to be soen to be patronized. It is thought by experienced ar tillerymen that superior cannon could be manufactured from the iron now obtained at Irondale, at the head of Port Townsend bay. Mr. Cases, book-keeper for tho Union P acking company, leaves for San Francisco by the Columbia to-day. He is suddenly called away on account of the illness of his father. We understand that tho Messrs. Chas. Z. and A. S. Sackett propose putting up a shingle mill on the Lewis and Clarke, commencing as soon as they can get a road through there. The current number of the West Shore contains a short sketch of this place and a handsome full-page litho graphic view of our city. The West Shore fills -a field peculiarly its own and is a credit to its enterprising pub lisher. The Oregon arrived from San Francisco yesterday with a large con ' signraent of miscellaneous freight for Astoria. There was likewise a large consignment of steerage passengers who will, no doubt, be heard from in the interior some of these days. ATe there not a few things that Astoria needs worse than others; some attention to Ihoso logs that go boom ing around under the underpinning; some device looking to an abundant supply of pure water; some water tanks in two or three prominent localities in case of fire at low tide, etc., etc. Patent As. Yesterday Sir. P. R. Smith exhib ited to us an ax, which he invented some time ago, and upon which ho secured letters patent on the 13th of last August. Like all other useful in ventions, the wonder is that some one didn't think of it long ago. The ax", which is made of the 6nest tempered steel, resembles the ordinary ax in outward appearance, but about one inch from the bit is a depression, a sort of groove, extending laterally across the bit; this, Sir. Smith claims, allows the cut to work free, obviates all the likelihood of the ax sticking, permits the chips to work out, and by reason of counteracting the atmos pheric pressure enables one to with draw the ax from the cut easier than with one of the old kind. That his claims do not ret on theory, "is suf- cientlv illustrated by the following from a well-known resident of this place: A&ToniA, October 4, 1881. Mit. P. P. Smith Dear sir: T have been using your Duplex ax at my log ging camp, near vtcsiport, uregon, since last July, and my choppers join me saying that the Duplex ax is the finest chopping ax in existence; that it adds fifty per cent, to the speed of chopping, and the same in ease to the chopper. Jt is one of the finest in ventions of the age; can't be consist ently done without in falling timber. Yours, J. C. Tiu'LMXOEi:. Sir. Smith has been uniformly suc cessful in disposing of his ax in every locality he has visited. From this place ho goes to British Columbia, and after establishing agencies throughout that territory, will return to Oregon next spring. We understand that .losiah West has purchased Mr. Moore's half inter est in the Clatsop cheese factory, making him now sole owner. Mr. Mooce leaves to-day for San Fran cisco on the steamer. The following, which must have fluttered out of some bard's note book, was picked up (in print) on Chenamus street, yesterday: If 'tis a sin To steal :i pin Then it is ,o To kill Guileau llefore a judge Who has nogiudge Can him sit on And blai'k cap don. But let's not liast'n To condemn Mas'n ; He meant all right TJul got too tight And missed his aim And so's to blame. G. F. Parker returned to the city last evening from Lewis and Clarke where he has been surveying about seven miles of road from the Neacoxie bridge on the Clatsop plains road, to Stavcbolt Landing on the Lewis and Clarke. This route is al ready open, and is tho only road con necting the Lewis and Claike country with the Clatsop plains. Let every man give himself to some useful and honorable work a work that takes hi3 best faculties. Then let every man keep his mind and body as he should his tools or capital, in good working order. Sometimes by fasting, sometimes by friskincss, sometimes by popular amusements, at other times by unpopular sobrie ties. Let a man recreate as often and as perfectly as he can, for a busy man will wear out soon enough at best. A gentleman mounted on acayuse dismounted before our door yesterday and called for one of "them thar horse books that Ireland used to have." The clerk picked out one of the moat expensive edition treed calf with heavy gold mounted clasps; but, to his'infinite astonishment the customer declined to purchase unless the re quired prescription was filled. Not having a veterinary establishment connected with the office we diiected him to Dement's drug store. A few days ago a little ten year old son of Mr. E. F. Wickham, for merly superintendent of streets in this cit3, now living upon what is known as Dutch Flat, about twelve miles south of The Dalles, was terri bly burned by the explosion of a can of Wasting powder, which ho had found, and was experimenting with for amusement, about half a mile from home. The boy's ami wjis burned al most to a crisp above ihe elbow, and there are also severe and extensive burns on his face, breast and abdomen. Mrs. Lucas, of East Portland, who secured a divorce from her hus band a few days since, was married three days after to a man named Stewart, who is said to have been the cause of her separation from M Lu cas. As the law of this state, says the Standard, does not permit di vorccd parties to marry again under six months, this marriage was consum mated at Vancouver, and the question arises whether it is legal or not. Air?. Lucas will be remembered by many here as the former proprietress of a Main street restaurant in this city. "The mistakes of .a choice young mau" is the text from which two of the Dayton ministers recently preach ed. "The choice of a mistaken young man'' wouldn't be a bad text to elabo rate in this present latitude. A rainbow swung its glittering arch over the Columbia yesterday, and as the prismatic hue deepened and faded from violet to orange, and from gray to the silhouette of the storm cloud, the mist roso in a gray cloud shutting out of sight the white sails of the boats above the point. Lumber is in such demand in Astoria that teams fill the mill yards hauling it awa as fast as it leaves the saws. Three teams were loading at one shute at the -West Shore mills yesterday. Even the brewery wagons were pressed into service hauling lum ber this week. The latest market reports quote teetotallers as being steady; girls at par for spending-money; ice in no demand; hotel knives dull. No de cline in drinks, all offered taken on the spot; large sales of beer in retail quantities, buyer's option; lemonade weak; a fall in rain is anticipated. He vas a grave and reverend coh lege Professor, taking a trip up coun try on the Oregon, and he uas enjoy ing the air on one of the wharves. "Do you catch main' salmon this year?" lie asked of a hardy fisherman. "Well," the son of Neptune replied, "we seine some." "Pardon me, young man," exclaimed the man of letters, "you mean we saw some." "Not by a hornful," replied the Gshcrman. "Who ever heard of sawing a fish? We split 'em sir, we split 'em, but we never saw 'em." The man from the collego seemed mystified. Die turned away and sighed at the ignorance of the times.
