Fred Hewitt is down from Port land on a brief visit. Shipping tags plain or printed at The Astoeiak office. The A. B. Field is being finished up, and mil be ready for launching There will be mass at St. Mary's Roman Catholic church at nine o'clock this morning. Mr. J. Strauss arrived home on the Columbia yesterday, from a pleasant trip below. . The Canby is being put to rights at Cass street beach, and will soon go on her regular route ajrain. The price of logs on the Colum bia this season exceeds anything ever heard of before in these parts. The country needs rain, more especially the Willamette valley, where crops are suffering in want of moisture. When six o'clock r. m., marks the dial the voice of the whistlo is heard in the land, and twenty shrill throats announce the hour. W. L. McCabc, who has been suf fering severely with rheumatism is ablo to be around once more. Ho contemplates a California trip next week. Astoria machinists are turning out some splendid work for the can neries this season. As in nearly every other department they have or ders "way ahead." The Columbia fired her guu at half-past fivo yesterday afternoon. Her decks were black with people. She brought the largest freight and passenger list of the season. Times are lively in Cathlamet and in fact, all over Wahkiakum county this season. Our trans-Columbia friends have a splendid country orer there and will make great advance this season. In a recent school examination in this city, one of the questions pro pounded by the teacher was "How many and what are the seasons?" Among the answers was: "There is but one the fishing season." The familiar sight of white winged fishing boats on the blue waters of the bay is again winessed. So far, we hear of but one salmon jumping into a boat, a twenty pounder, about half way between here and Kalama. On Thursday night some parties entered the Astoria Brewery beer sa loon by breaking out a panel in the door. They had a picnic with the eatables and drinkables, took about bIx dollars in dimes from the till, and carried off the proprietor's meer schaum pipe and books. On next Sunday evening at the Baptist church, the Rev. Mr. Scott will address the young ladies upon a subject of vital importance; after which, little infant Edith Conn, the peculiarly gifted prodigy of intelli gence, will render a recitation. Be sure to hear little Edith. Rev. S. S. Markham, of Johns river, informs the Chehalis Videttc that a cedar tree was recently cut in the camp just above him, "which measured thirty feet in diameter, ninety feet in circumference, and which when manufactured into lum ber, and sold, even at the low figure of 25 per thousand, would be worth 400. The death rate per thousand in Oregon and WTashington Territory is the lowest of any in the Union. The present season is even more 'than usually a healthy one in Astoria. It is said that continued sunshine is not as healthy as the rainy weather, but the present season of sunshine seems to agree with all of us wonderfully well. Physicians say there is scarcely any sickness in the city. Talk about "booms." If there is any other place on the North Pacific coast that can show more substantial growth than our city we are not awaro of its existence. New buildings in every direction contracted for and engaged before the lumber has left the mill, new enterprises and manufac tures, now lines of business opening p, and on every steamer hundreds of passengers, and work for all that mean business and want to earn honest money.

Estabrook and P. D. Terwillinger, went to the house of Mr. George Weber, residing on his land claim on the north side of Tilla mook bay, in Tillamook Co., Oregon; seeing he was not in the houso they hunted around for him, and found him lying on the ground just below tho house on the side of the hill cold and dead. They went to Garibaldi and reported the facts to the precinct justice of the peace, Wm. Ralston, he forthwith summoned the following named jury: Mr. P. Byrom, Capt. Staples, S. Brayley, G. Trimpter, D. Pike, and C. Robson, being sworn in, they went to the residence of the late Mr. G. Weber, examined the premises and the body of the dead man, who had been dead so long they had to cut his clothes off of him to find the cause of his death. They found his head badly bruised and cut, and some large bruises on tho right side of his body, and his body badty discolored and mortifying. Seeing no signs on the premises of there having been any scuffling or fighting done, they came to the conclusion that there had been foul play, that Mr. Weber had been killed with a club in the hands of some unknown person, several days since, and rendered their verdict ac cordingly, there being no doctor present. Mr. Weber lived alono on his land claim. The justice sent and ordered a coffin to be made for him, also notified Mr. Weber's guardian of Mr. Weber's death. He went and watched the body that night, and on tho following Sunday morning sent and got the doctor there and examined the body. Tho writer of this article having been told late on the Saturday evening what had happened, went down early on Sunday morning and. examined the premises before the peo ple got there to tramp around. After examining Mr. Weber's clothing, which lay around, and knowing the habits of the man, 1 came to a differ ent conclusion than tho jury did; seeing a largo piece of a broken tree lying in the creek, about 3 feet thick and 40 feet long that did once lay up the hill near the houso, myself and two others examined it, and saw that it had only been down there a few days, and that the bruised brush it had rolled over was freshly done, and finding a small snag that had been sticking in the ground and fitted a limb of tho tree; we examined the place where the log started from and found that Mr. Weber had gotten one end up on u skid, and seeing he could not roll it down had been un dermining it on the lower $ide, and chopping off the snag that held it, he was in a kneeling position and must have turned round to throw that snag where wo found it while on his knees, and did not see the tree start to roll, so got caught under it and killed by the weight of it passing over him. When the doctor came the jury were summoned on to the premises again. The body wa3 then brought out of tho houso and Dr. Kemp examined it in presence of the jury and people pres ent. Ho reported the head badly bruised and cut on the right aide, his neck broken, his right shoulder joint smashed, his ribs all torn from his backbone, large bruises on his right thigh and leg, and he decided that Mr. Weber came to his death by something in the form of a heavy roller passing over him, and that it had been done over forty-eight hours, thus confirming our theory of the cause. The jury then reconsidered their ver dict and rendered it according to the doctor's decision. The body was then given to the guardian and buried in the afternoon in Kilchis cemetery. Mr. George Weber was 58 years old; was a volunteer in tho ifexican war, and served through the war as a gunner in Co. L, 1st regiment of U. S. artillery; was one of the foremost gunners at the storming of Chapulte pec, was wounded several times, but served till the end of tho war and. was honorably discharged. He was under the command of Major Hathaway who Bhot himself dead in tho Astor house, New York City, in 1854. Mr. Weber has resided in Tillamook county since 1852 and now, Though Nations may combat and loud thunders may rattle. He hears not, he heeds not, he'd free from all pain : He sleeps his last sleep, he lias fought his last battle; And no sound shall awake him to glory agaia. Marko Polo, Tillamook Co., Or. Books and Pipe Host. The parties who broke into tho Asto ria Brewery Beer Saloon on Main street on Thursday night, will do me a favor if they will return the books and pipe by leaving them in any convenient place where I can get them. They are of no use to any one but me. George IIiller. A New Craft The three master Beda arrived in yesterday afternoon. This vessel is an auxiliary steam schooner, of 352 tons register: she was built at Coos Bay by Simpson & Co., and is, we believe, the first vessel of the kind ever built on the coast. Her machin ery is not in her yet, but will bo put in place after going below. Sho will load lumber at Knappton. She draws 8$ feet, and Captain Swan says she is a splendid sailer. TI12 Beda will ply between Astoria and San Francisco as a regular freight packet, and will as suredly ut off all Astoria freight at Astoria without vexatious delay. The vessel lies at Flavel's dock, and was visited by a large number of people yesterday afternoon. She is built of cedar, and is put together in the most substantial manner. She is 158 feet long, 31 feet breadth of beam, and 13J feet depth of hold. She sailed from San Francisco on the 4th, and the captain thinks had he better weather, and not so much contrary head winds he could have made a very quick run. After she gets her engines in place she will doubtless develop a high rate of speed; it is thought she will make the round trip from here to San Francisco and return in ten days. She brought CO tons of hay which was loaded immediately after landing. During the year 1882, in this county sixty-four men declared their intention to renounce all allegiance to foreign prince or potentate and be come American citizens.
