a verdict of "overcome by the heat-'
TJie weather at Gray' Harbor is

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

The British bark Scottish Knight

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." . '
