It isn't so very long now to Thanksgiving. Heaven was made for the people who fail in this life. "China measles" is what they call the small-pox up at Dayton. The Columbia swung out to sea at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Supt. Logan is doing some good work in the matter of sewers. The Polaris is after lugersoll. The ungodly Robert will be annihil ated. - John W. Mackay is in I 'aria. Alany of his victims are in the poor house. Yesterday Oregonian denies any present or prospective sale of that paper. The Canonia was towed below yesterday and will probably cross out to-day. Several new buildings aie being roofed in, foundations covered over and lots graded. Mrs. Hand lias sold the Dalles Mountaineer to an association of gen tlemen for S.1,000. -So far San Francisco lias sub scribed 11,000 to the GarHeld inonu ment fund for this coast. Is it unhealthy to sleep in feath er "Oh, no, look at the spring chicken, how tough he is." When the Penitentiary guards go on a bender the Statesman gives them a benefit next morning. A Denver newspaper evils Deacon John Evans "a nice old rooster,"' and Deacon John sues tho editor for libel. -"Monsieur Arthur Chester is President of the Etats Unis,'" is the way the French journalists announce it. The bushiest oflices of the North ern Pacific llailroad Company are to be transferred from Tacoma to Poit land. --"Micky Fat" it all right again; Graves has been discharged, no com plaint having been entered against him. The Oregon came in at 8:"0 yes terday morning, and after discharging freight and passengers fo- this port, proceeded up the river. A party of San Juan ranchers made a bonfire of an Apache Indian lately, and the coroner's jury returned a verdict of "overcome by the heat-' TJie weather at Gray' Harbor is so bad that Capt. Lutjens can not go to sea with the Emma Stephens, bound to this port with a cargo of butter, etc. One of tho funniest things we've read for a long time is the critique on the opera troupe in the last number of the Polaris. The ponderosity of the effort is too much for any one's gravity. The new Protestant Episcopal Dio cese in Washington Territory includes seven clergymen, eight churches and chapels, four parsonages, and a girl's boarding-school with five teachers and sixty pupils. The British bark Scottish Knight cleared for Queenstown 3'esterday. She brought down 22,731 ctls. wheat from Portland, value $37,500, and took on 5,545 ctls. here, value $9,149: Total., 28,270 ctls.; value $4C,C49. The following vessels went up the river yesterday: Kirkwood, Wonder towing, Belts pilot; Wealthy Pendle ton, Johnson pilot; Antarctic, Ockla hama towing, Ferchen pilot; Crutn mock Water, Snow pilot; Jaa. Wright, Alice towing, Reed pilot. Sale of Lots. Any of our upper Astoiia fiicndg who are desirous of securing one or more building lots in a very favorable locality, should not fail to attend Hol den'.s auction sale at eleven o'clock this morning. It is probable that this will the last opportunity U secure such desirable property theie at an auction price. Upper Astoria is fast assuming the proportions of a pros perous town and will soon rival her neighbor in- size and population. No safer investment could possibly be made by anyone ha'ing a few hun dred doljars to spare, than to bid in i the whole of this very eligible lot. j One street only sepaiates the block to be sold from the lot on which Messrs. Brakke. Timmins and others have erected handsome residences. The single lot to be offered (lot 1 in block 37) is a valuable comer lot situated on tho planked roadway and is directly opposite the lot on which C. Leinen weber proposes to build the elegant family mansion for which plans have already been drawn and the ground graded. The Wrecked Barks. The wrecked Lammerlaw had noth ing but her mainmast above the sands last evening and by this time has dis appeared. Capt. Pay ii, of the Broughtou, left here for his vesel yes terday, hoping to be able to save her, but the southeaster that blew up at noon, threw her on her beam ends, and at six o'clock last evening the tide was dashing over her; she is h total loss. The wrecks lie at the entrance to Shoalwater bay, about six miles apart, and some forty miles from Astoria. The crew of the Lammerlaw are in Portland; the crew of the Broughtou were at Oysterville last night. -The American bail: Cuhiiiia, Capt. Cyrus Noyes, will be down to-day, en route for China. She lias 310 Chi nese, 217,000 feet of lumber, 25 bbls beef and 12 tons old iron mi board. Mr. I. S. Jones, of Oysterville, called yesteiday. He informs us that business of all kinds is improving in that burg: and immigration is all that is needed to bring Pacific county out. Nothing definite can be ascer tained in reference to to when the companies of the 1st artillery will ar rive at Fort Canby. The foit is at present in charge of a garrison of thirty men from the 21st infantry, under command of Capt. J. A. Haughcv. At half-past six hist evening the aides and framing of the Knights of Pythias building fell with a loud crash, a sudden sipiall .-.triking it fi.un the south. As one of the members good hunioredly expressed it, "It will just take another assessment," and that's all thero is about it. Wo learn that Father Powers will leave on the next steamer for an ex tended visit to old friends in Santa Clara valley, Gil. At 70 years of age and only recently shorn of a limb, he shows remarkable vigor and vitality. That his intended visit will help him still to relain it, and be a pleasant one, is the desire of all who know him. The Maritime Register reports a demand for wooden sailing ships. The Germans are in the market for the old vessels, butan find very few, and it is is reported that there is now only one wooden sailing ship for sale along the Eastern coast. This will be some what surprising to many, but it is a good indication that tho larger sized vessels still find employment. We are icipiested to state that Holden's real estate auction sale nt upper Astoria will come off as adver tised, at 11 o'clock this morning, rain or shine. Upper Astoria stages will boon hand at the Occident all the timo between 10 and quailer to 11, to convey passengers. If it rains the sale will be held, by kind permission, in Messrs. Van Dusen & Co's store. There are a number of newspa per readers who could profit by the follewing: Newspaper subscriptions are always paid in advance that is to say, if the subscriber doesn't pay it, the publisher is obliged to, for the pa per dealer, compositors, type makers, ink dealers, pressmen and others, will not wait till tha year expires for their pay. -A petition signed by tho people in the western portion of Whitman and Spokan counties has been for warded to the legislature, asking that body to create a new county to be bounded on the north by tho Colum bia river and Stevens county, on the east by a lino from the mouth of the Palonso river running north to the Columbia, on the south by Snake river, and on the west by the Colum bia guide meridian. The new county is to be called either Villard or Billings. Dangerous Counterfeit A new half-dollar counterfeit is just coming into circulation. It am be detected by closely observing the fol lewing: It has the eagle on the w rong side. The Goddess of Libetty instead of wearing her cap on her head is car rying it under her aim. On her right foot, instead of the sandal, is a No. G gaiter with a high heel. AH the feath ers of the eagle's tail are gone. By comparing it with another half, a dif ference in size of at least, a sixteenth of an inch is obseivable all round. The head of the bird is turned the wrong way, and the coin is square in stead of round. Aside from these minor inaccuracies, the counterfeit is splendidly executed, and well wai ranted to deceive. The best test is to try to jiass it on a Chinaman for wash ing Forwarding Letters. Instructions have been issued to postmasters to forwaid readdressed letters as often as is necessary for de livery without repayment of poatage, as has heretofore been required. If a letter is properly stamped when oi originally mailed, it must follow the party to whom it is addressed until .ii: 1 -r - p i. unnciru, o us lorwaruuig is re quested. - A hornet's nest is said to be the best polisher m the world for glass lenses. Hut you want to do your polishing when the hornet is not around to help you. For what shall it profit a man if he polish a thousand glass lenses in one day and one hor net catch him at it.' For viniculture, says the Salem Statesman, no place on the coast, or perhaps in the United States, oilers such inducements as the Rogue River Valley in Southern Oregon. From forty acres of vines Mr. J. Nfc T. Mil- ier, who resides otto mile south of Jacksonville, will realize 1S.000 gal lons of superior wine. His neighbors do equally well. A correspondent writes to the horticultural editor of an exchange, and asks him how to treat fowls. Treat them kindly and with consid eration. The aching void in the breast of the modern hen is want of sym pathy. Always look on them with a gentle eyo and greet them with a bright smile, Hens are warranted to Hourish under this treatment. From Win. Field, sometimes known as "Happy Jack," we learn that consideiable difficulty was ex perienced in getting a life saving craw to the wrecked Lammeilaw. It was only by most persistent oxcitioii that the crew was saved. It seems that it was hard to get a crew to go out in such rough weather and after getting to the scene of the wreck it whs ;i much as a man's life was worth to go near the ship. Fortunately all thoship'.s crew w.ere got ofl" in safety, some of them jumped in the water and being picked up by ihtt boat. --Now that the deepening of river channels is being discussed many uv the suggestions and plans advocated and advanced. Among the latest that we have heard is the proposition of a party considered to be well posted on nautical matters. Llis idea is lo'rig a sort of dummy engine on Point Adams and havo an endless chain attached, extending out to convenient dis tance for incoming vessels; so that "when a vessel arrives all you'd have to do would be to hitch on to the chain and the engine would snake you right in.'" When asked how it would be if the vessel got to going faster than the dummy or the chain, he said ho hadn't "got through figuring on that jvt." . ' Hotel Arrivals. utl'lliKNT.
