Visitors to San Francisco will find The Astouiax on file at the public library. It is again announced that work will soon begin on the railroad to Ya quina bay. The Californian for April is fully up to the usual standard of that excel lent magazine. Dr. Aug. C. Kinney and wife wers among the returning passengers on yesterday's steamer. J. O. Eozorth, school clerk district No. 1, gives notice concerning a meeting this evening. The State arrivod in at 7:30 j'estcrday morning. The Queen goes out to-day, one day ahead of time. The Sailor Boy, from Shoalwater Bay to San Francisco, was spoken 20 miles west of Cape Hancock on the night of the 24th. Dr. Philip Harvey, one of Port laud's oldest and most respected phy sicians, died in that city last Saturday, aged seventy-eight years. The Henry Villard crossed out last Sunday morning. This leaves no loaded vessel in the river. There is very little to load at present. Mrs. II. A. Angcll, an old and esteemed resident of Wahkiakum county, died at her residence near Skamockwa, last Frida3r, in the 40th year of her age. The long period of dry weather ended Sunday night, and yesterday for the first time m nearly six weeks the rubber coats and umbrellas were brought out. The rain is welcome. The Gen. Miles arrived in last Sun day from Gray's harbor, with a load of lumber from the Cosmopolis mill. Capt. Whitcomb reports towing out the schooner Wing and Wing, lumber laden for San Francisco. At a parish meeting of Grace church held yesterday, after morning service, the following gentlemen were duly elected vestrymen to serve for the ensuing j'car: Messrs. A. Van DuBcn, S. D. Adair, C. J. Trenchard, Dr. Tuttle, A. B. Anderson, B. Van Dusen, Maxwell Young, A. W. Berry and C. P. Upshur. Our museum is daily growing in value. We now have on the top shelf, ajJackage of "ozone," warranted to all manner of impossible things. It was handed us by a subscriber who paid $3 for it and pronounces it a fraud. That was just what we thought about it a year ago, when the proprie tors offered us 100 to advertise the worthless stuff. Archie Clark, better known as "Circus," was shot by Charles Ander son in a Portland saloon, at an early hour last Sunday morning. The trou ble began in referenco to some re marks of Anderson's concerning two girls who had been there and resulted in Anderson's firing two shots, tho second of which took effect in Clark's right oye. The injuries are not con sidered fatal. Anderson was arrested. J. F. Smith, of the Portland pot tery works, is in the city engaging men for work at Fort Clatsop from whence the earth comes of which the pottery is mado. It seems a pity that tho works were not located there in the first place. There is an inexhaus tible deposit of tho finest clay there, and a four foot bank of splendid fire brick clay. Some day a brick yard will be a profitable institution in that locality. Drowned. Henry Youmans, a deck hand on the Gen. Miles was drowned at the O. R. & N. dock yesterday morning. The Miles was lying at the dock wait ing for the State of California to go up, to unload some freight. As the State backed out, the bow of the Miles swung out toward that vessel, and the deceased sprang with a fender to put it between the stern of the steamer and the bow of the Miles. In some way he slipped and fell overboard almost directly beneath the revolving pro peller of the State. Escape was hope less; the State wjs stopped as soon as it was possible, but nothing could be seen of the poor fellow till. his body was recovered by grappling about three hours after. Deceased was a single man aged 35, was a member of the Astoria 'Longshoremens Associa tion, aud was wellpoken of by all his comrades and associates. Tho remains were conveyed to the coroner's, from whoso rooms the funeral will take place at half-past two o'clock thb afternoon. His father resides in Norfolk, England, of which place the drowned man was a native. Cape Hancock Record. March 2G. Bar moderate; wind easterly, light; tugs outside; nothing in sight. Bearer Lodgo So. 35, I. O. O.F. Witlelcst representatives to the Grand .Lodge Thursday evening April 7th. A full attendance is desirable. By order N. G. The Salmon Market. In our latest received advice3 from Dickson & Renwick, of Liverpool, they say that the decline has further de veloped. A large arrival of a favor ite Columbia river brand has recently been placed at 23 6 warehouse Liver pool, and still lower has been ac cepted for floating parcels and for old seasons. Arrivals for the month have been 115,903 cases at Liverpool, and 71,350 at London, making the season's arrivals to date 473,186 cases. Under date of the 24th inat., the Grocer and Canncr reports tho market very quiet, no goods moving and prices practically unchanged. Re ports from the interior received through prominent represantatives of the canning interest are of rather a gloomy hue, as regards the run in the Sacramento river for the present year. They state that never within the .his tory of the state was the water of tho Sacramento river so low. A phenome nal feature of the case is, that the tides back the salt water 34 miles from San Francisco bay to Benicia, or even above that point, so little re sistance is offered by the river in its present condition. Fishermen say they are at a los3 what to do under such circumstances such as they have never before encountered, aud cannot tell whether to fish up or down, and can form no reasonable conjecture whether or not tho fish will run. Their theory has always been that the salmon in approaching the coast, met with streams of fresh water and fol lowed them up, making what is termed the run. They say they aro thrown outside any possible calculation, and shall watch with eagerness, should tho Sacramento remain in its low state, to learn whether the run will occur at a time when no fresh water is running out. Past experience ha3 given no opportunity in judging in such an emergency. So far aa we have been able to learn, no sales of salmon have been recently made, and the aggre gate of sales up to the present time is very much smaller than in former years. The hold over-stock of the pack of 1882 in Liverpool and London is said to be very large, and the busi ness is dull and dead. In the event of no outlet being found through a revival of trade a movement is on foot to relieve those markets of their surplus. Tho Fraser river catch has hitherto averaged one gooJ season out of three Last season having proved a very bountiful one with them, it is argued by many that the catch of this vear will be rather light. Across the River. Skamokawa, W. T. .March 23, 18S3. Ed. Astokiax- The great .Northern Pacific railroad boom has reached Skamokawa, W. T., and must reach Astoria in good tune. A large force or men are already at Fork preparing the foundation at tho mouth of Skamokawa creek for ono of tho largest lumber mills on the Co lumbia river. Owing to the great de mand for lumber at the sawmills, it is necessary, I presume, for J. B. Montgomery, Esq., to undertake this enterprise in order to be promptly supplied with lumber for tho great work of completing the link in the Northern Pacific railroad between Portland and Kalama. C. C. S. The "Water Company. Hon. D. P. Thompson, is in the city, for the purpose of conferring with the council committee in refer enco to tho number of hydrants to bo placed for use. The hydrants aro in San Francisco, and will bo shipped from that city thin week. It is tho intention of the company to begin laying pipe in three weeks. Tho main piping was shipped around tho Horn sometime ago, but to facilitate mat ters Mr. Thompson has mado arrangements with the Portland waterworks to bring what is needed for main lead pipes down from Portland, and when his pipe gets here via the Horn he can return it from that stock, thus avoiding any delay. The remainder of tho eleven miles of pipe has been shipped over land and will be in San Francisco this week. It is the intention to proceed with work as fast as possible and have tho works in successful operation by tne time agrcea upon wnen tne con tract was made. Sunday Service. Astoria, March 2Gth. Ed. Asteriax: The entertainment at tho M. E. church on last evening, was enjoyed by as large an audience as could be seated. The exercises were varied, and instructive. A recitation ren dered by little Edith Conn, subject, "Tho Cross," was rapturously appreci ated, because of the sentiment ex pressed, and the splended style in which it was declaimed. S. Jfliysiologj. Mrs. Anna M. L. Potts, M. D the eloquent and popular lecturer on Fhysi olocv. health and disease, has secured Libertv Hall for the balance of this week, and this evening will begin a course of lectures on the above men tioned subject Tho lady is highly praised by the press of the entire United States and without doubt our people have a treat in store for them. The lol lowing Is from the W. W. Statesman: Wo are only reflecting general public sentiment in Walla Walla, when we say that the last half of the present week has been a red letter period for the intelligent and thinkine ones who were fortunate enough to hear the lect ures of Mrs. Dr. Potts. In these lectures, this lady, bright, brimful of that com mon sense, before which cant and quackery shrinks abasned, chatty, piquant, confidential, heartily in sym pathy with the human In all stages of fife, has imparted ounces of information and fact, worth-millions of tons of theory.

Worth $25 a Month in Astoria A Tcnucs3ec ghost comes to a huuau in Nashville, and rocks the bahy to sleep every night. Now, then, says Burdette, by all thu dwellers in tho nether gloom, if there is a restless ghost of any old ancestor of oura would like to find steady employment at good wages in a quiet family and good neighborhood, we can give tho perturbed spirit all it wants to do in the silent lino of general housework, with Sunday aftornoon for itself, and one night out every week when it could go around and raise a costly racket with the neighbors, aud h.iunt all the lonely houses in the neighbor hood, wnatagem ot a nouse-servant j a ghost would be. JSever "sass back; j always invisible. The pie would come on the table as though it were sailing through the air; tho carpet-sweeper would perform its noiseless functions without the howling accompaniment of "Gnah-na-gnah-na-iha-wah that wur tho place whayre the whisky is plenty whack! fol dhe rol loll" Aud at night it could haunt all the object- , ionablc neighbors until they lied the neighborhood and property would dc prcciato seventy-five per cent., when we could buy it in and whack up with tho ghost .No light and no fire re quired for the ghost's room. No pri vate watchman wanted on the block; no dog on the premises. When a burglar climbed in at tho window and felt the cold, clammy fingers of the ghost wiggling down the back of his neck; whon ho drove a ten-inch bowio knife clean through the ghost's bosom fivo times and the spectre smiled sadly at him, and showed him where his throat had been cut clear off nine years before how the robber would drop his kit and winj his restless flight to realms bei'ond the farther limits of the city corporate. And when the door-bell rang, the ghost would just stick its head clear through tho key-hole and see who was thero before the door was opened. Aud there would be no sweethearts loafing about the kitchen Sunday nights ah, no. Truly, a ghost would be a great boon to the home, and if any of our readers kuow of a gho3t out of a job, send him at once to this office.
