ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY AUGUST 0.158S The Oregon Francisco to-day- is due from San The Selene has arrived at Queens town, 131 days out. There wa a slight rain through out the state last Wednesday. The Aberlcmno, Rossdhu and Tarn tShant'r went up stream yesterday morning. The British bark Fiery Cros now at Wilmington, Cal., has been chartered to load wheat in the Col umbia. Astoria has six distinct religious congregations, each with a well built and commodious church and a resi dent minister. The Seattle Herald comes to hand in a new dress, and is as good as it is pretty. The Herald is a credit to journalism and deserves the success it evidently receives. The next regular meeting of tho Astoria Musical Society, will be held at the usual place om Monday even ing August 6, 1883, at 8 o'clock. All members are requested to bo pres ent. F. A. Stewart joint representa tive from Coos and Curry counties, has sent his resignation to governor Moody, having been appointed depu ty U. S. Collector for tho district of Southern Oregou. The fastest passage ever mado from Bio de Janeiro to San Francisco was by tho American clipper ship Wizard, Captain Slade, in 1858, in 59 days. This has never been beaten before or since. She arrived Decem ber 19th. The versatile artists, John F., and MisB Helene Byrnes will appear in their clever impersonations at Occidental . Hall next Monday and Tuesday evenings, the Gth and 7th inst Reserved seats for sale at the City Book Store. The water supply of Yallejo, Cal., has given out, and the water company is bringing down Sacramen to river water in boats, each boat car rying a tank holding half a million gallons, which are fofced hy steam pumps into city mains. In the police court last Wednes day afternoon, in the case of R. L. Jeffries charged with a violation of ordinance Xo. 531, the judge over ruled defendant's demurrer and fined him $50. The case has been appealed to the circuit court. Early risers yesterday morning noticed a dampness on the planks, and from a general moisture in the air the inference was that a shower had fallen. Close observation established the fact that there had a few drops of rain fallen, and the unusual occurrence occasioned the utmost surprise. Miss L. A. Allen has received an appointment as instructress at tho Harmon Young Ladies' Seminary at Berkeley, Cal., and will probably leave on the next stoamer. Miss Allen has made an enviable reputa tion in Astoria as a teacher, and her departure will be an occasion of re jrret to a wide circle of friends and ac quaintances. A circular has been issued from the goneral land office to registers and receivers of United States lands, and to special agents, calling attention to the unlawful inclosure of public lands, and directing them to promptly report the number and extent of all such with necessary corroborative evidence, that they may be transmitted to the department of justice for appropriate action. The nest shore tor July is on our table. Those of our citizens who purchased the admirable June num ber with its wealth of illustrations of loeal Interest will want this compan ion number which has some charming portrayals of our coast scenery. Any one of the engravings in the July number is worth the money asked for the whole; the picture of Young's Jtuver laus, or tne uoiuraoia bar, or any other of the many that adorn its pages. Get a half dozen copies aud tend them to lovers of the beautiful elsewhere. As soon as the vessel now on the etocksat Port Ludlow is launched the Pucet Mill company will com mence the construction of a hull for tug boat, to eclipse anything in the way of speed and power over brought to Puget Sound. The large compound engines to drive this tug along have been ordered built in tho east, and the boilers will be constructed of tho verv best steel, at Port Gamble. The new craft will be a propeller, an will be longer, wider, ana more powerful than the tuc Tacoma. of which Puget Sounders have been proud of for the past few years Potl'Intelligencer.

Y. dispatch of the 1st says: The situation of the telegraphers' ; strike is about the same. There are ! rumors of an important movement soon to occur on the part of tho strikers, but nothing can be learned regarding it. Business is apparently going smoothly at the Western Union, all the operators paid oil' yesterday were at work this morning. The strikers who desired money were paid off by tho Brotherhood to-day. Word was received at police headquarters at noon to-day that a number of striking operators and linemen had assembled up town and were preventing two linemen belonging to the Department of Charities and Corrections from climbing poles to repair wires. A force of police were sent to the scene. Early this morning the police tele graph circuit running south from headquarters refused to work. When daylight came, the linemen who were sent out by the department found that not far from headquarters some one had climbed the pole, and a piece of heavy wire was wound around forty or fifty wires that ran through tho street, bunching them all together, and all the circuits were thus disabled. Tho obstacle was removed. Smoky Navigation. The Astoria eleamer Wide Wtt, which should havo returned to her dock in this city Tuesday evening, did not arrive until yesterday morning at o'clock. She was delayed in leav ing here Tuesday morning over three hours by the dense fog that added to the smoke made the air too thick for navigation. Consequently she did not reach Astoria until two o'clock in tho afternoon. Siio left an hour latcu on her return trip, having on board a number of our citizens who had been spending the greater portion of July by tho sounding sea. Arriving at St. Helens, the smoke aud fog again became so dense that the boat was made fast to await dnylijrht. Oreno- ian, if. New Departure.

A meeting of tho stockholders of the Lake Union Canal company was held at the oflice of Day A Wood last 'evening, at which the following trus tees were elected: Henry E. Von- Hasen. of San Francisco: D. T. Den ny, B. F. Day, J. 1$. Metcalf, E. Smithers, J. V. George and J. F. Eshelinan.

Fourteen thou sand cubic yards of earth was re moved in July on tho portage. A force is now also working on the out let of Lake Union into Salmon Jiav. Post-InTelligcncer.

True, ho looks "down in the niouth," but onty in a professional sense, and as for giving pain, though he does inflict a good deal of anguish on quivering nerves, yot it ia unavoidable. At least that is the geueral view of hi3 patients, though we heard yesterdaj of an impatient patient who thought differently. He j was a large man, physically speaking, and told the polite manipulator of the j forceps he wanted a tooth extracted, t Seating himinthe chair, the dentist got hold of the aching molar, aud jammed the forceps down to get a good hold; j the sufferer veiled, aprons from his , chair, and with fire flashing from his eye (he only had one) he "went for" the dentist. That party backed up against the wall, and after dodging one blow from his antagonist, he pulled out a revolver an,d told him to stop. The threat, coupled with the warlike appearance of the now thoroughly aroused dentist, had the desired ef fect and the man whose toothache had vanished, fled down tho stairs. This plain, unvarnished tale illustrates what may bo termed dentistry under difficulties.
