Scott, who was shot by ono Peter Carlson some months ago, is out on crutches. The injury, will, it is feared, result in permanent disability. Scott is a straightforward industrious man, and it is hard that such, a half crazy, jealous creature should spoil his whole life as he has. The Oregon Knight Templars who intend visiting San Francisco on tho occasion of tho grand conclave next August, will, like the McGregors, havo a boat of their own." The steamer which they charter for the occasion will furnish them with hotel accommodations while at the metropo lis. It is reported that tho 0. & C. R. R. Co., has bonded considerable property from Skip'anon creek, past Tansy point and down to Fort Stevens, for terminal facilities. If so, "a boom" in Clatsop -stock will be the next thing in order. In the mean time it might be well to suggest that a few more shares in the Clatsop road may still bo procured. j.ne uninese ceieorate to-uay as some sort of grand holiday wherein special consideration is given to the spirits of departed Mongolians. Ono of the tribe who came in yesterday to aqaaader two bits in the purchase of paper explained in a disjointed fash ion that the chief solemnity of the oc CMioa was inspired by the belief that seme of the dead Celestials were still n a sort of limbo, and it was of great OMafort to them to know that those wio still sojourned here below, were mmdftil of their departed "Brethren ami by sacred ceremonial, mitigated ito Mffcriags they, now endure for iriekdto coitfed in the fleeh. TOO MUCH KNOWLEDGE. "Weather Signals in the Bermuda Islands. The code is very elaborate, aud the signals are used not only for spread ing information, but also for commu nicating with vessels at sea. As soon as a signal is hoisted on ono pole, it is repeated on the other three. Nearly every Bermudian knows these signals like the alphabet, without tho use of tho chart, but strangers have to hunt. It is one of tho things Bermudians pride themselves on understanding every possible signal. The day before the Princess Louise arrived we had a terrible time in the hotel. It was a beautiful, quiet, calm, summer Sunday morning, making me feel so peaceful and lovely that 1 re solved to get up once in time for the 9 o'clock breakfast. I strolled leisurely to the end of the hotel and looked at the signal -post. It was as bare as a telegraph-pole. This was a disap pointment, for by that hour two weeks before the steamer had been sighted. Just as we were through breakfast a flag was run up. Ono of tho experienced gentlemen took the telescope, and a dozen or more of us went out with him to see what it was. With the dignity cf a general survey ing a battle-field (from a safe distance) ho rested the glass across a limb of the tree, bent his knees, and took an ob servation. "It's a red swallow-tail," said he, after patiently waiting for the wind to straighten out the flag. "What does it mean Go look at the chart, somebody." Somebody went and looked, and found that it meant "an unknown sail." "There's something coining," said the observer. "I suppose they haven't made her out yet. It may be the Princess, or it may be tho New York mail." He was hardly done speaking when up went another flag. "Hello! what's this? Blue with a yellow center. What the deuce does that mean?' That meant "a vessel coming into St. George." Then there must be two vessels in sight; one not yet made out, and one coming into St. George. Could it be that the Princess would land at St George? But look out; there goes another flag. "Wait a minute," said the observer, who was fast becoming a very import ant person; "wait till she blows round a little. There she is, a big, yellow flag without a mark on it. What is that? Why, that's a vessel waiting a health officer. Can it bo that there are three in sight? There's the key to the code, anyhow. Hold on, there goes another flag. By George! its the Stars and Stripes!" So it was, sure enough. No need of a glass to mako that out. But what could it mean? Why should the American flag be hoisted ou a Bermuda signal pole? Ah, this explains it. Here is another flag going up just under it, white, with a red center, denoting a frigate. This must mean that an American frigate has been sighted. "There goes another," somebody shouted, and it was true enough. This time it was a blue pendant, with a white center. There was no mistak ing that. "A screw sloop of war was the meaning of this flag. "Tho Princess is coming, suro enough!" And a half dozen people ran into the hotel to tell their wives and children. By this time one of the hazards was full of flags, and it was thought best to bring out the framed code to help decipher them. There n jver was such a wild timo in Bermuda. The very air seemed to bo full of ships. Thoy were in the north, in the sonth, off the reefs, in St. George's harbor, in quarantine, every where. The New York mail flag went up. So did the Halifax mail flag. What on earth had broken loose? Tho Halifax steamer was not due for three weeks. There must have been a terrible storm, driving tho vessels into shelter. Yes. sure enough, there was the signal, "A vessel in distress!" "There goes tho No. flag," said the observer; "what does that mean? They must be communicating with some yesset in the harbor." Every body was excited. Children hopped and dauced. What a rare day for Bermuda, with vessels coming in every direction. Wo would have our letters, wo would have the Princess; there was nothing we wouldn't have, in short, for there were ships' from ev ery where. The danger signal went up. Both halyards by this timo were full of flags. Tho Union Jack was at the mast head, it was a perfect carni val of flags. People ran in and out of the hotels, spreading the great news, hardly able to contain themselves. An old Bermudian came down out of the breakfast-room, and somebody told him the great news. He looked a little incredulous, but went to the corner of the building where tho ob server had the telescope, to sco for himself. He took ouly one glance, jammed his hands far down in his breeches-pockets, aud smiled. "Oh," said he, "that's nothing. They're only airing the flags. They do that every Sunday morning to keep them from moulding! . A'eio Correspondence.

Good "Words from Yamhill. A movement is on foot says tho Yamhill Reporter looking towards the construction of a lino of railroad from Astoria to Forest Grove. Already the O & C. company have ordered a corps of engineers to start upon tho projected route at an early day. Well may our enterprising little city "down by the sea" hail tho prospect of such an event with glowing exultation. It is the ono thing now needed to give Astoria a wholesome channel to tho heartof that country of which she is the natural entrepot, and give her a chance to develop the advantage which her position between the soil and the sea board possesses. Nor will the con summation of such a scheme be with out its benefits to the people of the Willamette valley generally,and especi ally the western portion. With direct transportation to tide water we will have in the market there a neward a hardy competitor against the old monopolist, via Portland. This would be greatly advantageous to tho producers of this section, as it costs many an extra dollar to get ev ery cargo of produce from Portland to the seaboard, and that means many a dollar wrung from the pocket of the producer. It is easy to perceive, then, why we should bo interested in the success of an Astoria-Forest Grove railroad connection, and why it be comes ua to join hands with our sea side friends for the furtherance of the desired object We must expect, however, to seo the project confronted by weighty obstacles. Portland's cap italists will naturally throw their in fluence against it, and for a time may retard the scheme. But surely it can not be silenced forever. The natural condition of things demands the im provement. The country's increase of population and business and progress must be met by an accommodation so necessary, and that too, at a no dis tant dav. Hotel Arrivals. OCCIDKXT.
