Tho new schoolhouse is assuming definite shape, and is now one of the most prominent objects that greets the eye from the bay. It is the in tention to havo it completed and ready for occupancy by the 1st of October. The London Grocer says: A bet ter tono prevails in our salmon mar ket, but there is no animation and no important sales to report. Holders keep their prices very firm, as they consider we have now reached the worst, and have confidence in an early reaction. Out of twenty-six visitors to this office yesterday, twenty-four in speak ing of the climate said it was tho finest they had over seen, and tho variety of climate they had soon was considera ble. Astoria can not be beat for health and vigor as well as other attributes of happiness. At tho regular annual election for officers of the fire department there were 72 votes cast, of which F. P. Hicks received 71 votes for chiof en gineer, A. A. Cloveland and J. G. Charters received 57 and 4G votes re spectively, and L. E. Selig 1. There being no opposition an extremely light rote was polled. Thero is trouble on the Sacra mento.

The men swear tkey will fish, and tho officials affirm they won't. Attention ie directed to tho "Ad of Armee Dallam, who are the pio netr manufacturers and dealers in wooden and willow ware on tho Pacific coast, having established their busi ness in San Francisco in 1852.

The steamer Honita, which ar rived Wedneiday from Nanaimo, B C. is m trouble with the custom house authorities. On the 24th of July she sailed from this port for As toria with a cargo of general merchan due and thence to Nanaimo, B. C. without clearing the custom house at Astoria, and without having her papers changed from enrollment register, rrora JSanairao she came to this port with coal. As vessels under enrollment are not permitted to go into the foreign trade, the cargo and vessel are subject to forfeiture under the law. The vessel is owned by Goodall, Perkins & Co., tho cargo, 482 tons of coal, is consigned to John Rosenfeld and the master's name is H D. Leland. S. F. Comm. Jiew, 10. Wanted.

About half-past three the bell woke all light sleepers and sent a hundred men flying down the street, and the second alarm brought overv one out of bed. The fire csmpanics went down as far as O'Brien's hotel on a run, but seeing i.1.n:n- i..i, i . . , " i went back again. j There is something peculiarly at- ; tractive about jumping from sound ! sleep at half past ast three a. .m., and ' swooping arouud in the dark for the j habiliments with which this trail tenement of clay is ordinarily clothed. 300 to oOO feet.

In the hurry and excite ment of the moment everything is got on hind side out and wrong end to, and when the operation of plunging and pawing, styled by courtesy, dress ing, is concluded and the wearer strikes the street, he lends to the pro cession an added charm that no words can adequately convey. Fortunately, in that respect, the pitying curtain of night covers all inadequacies, and as tho main point is to "get there," all minor considerations are overlooked. Court Proceedings.

Poktlaxd, Or., Aug. 10, 1883. To tiik Editor ok thk Astoria: I hereby challenge any man on the Northwest coast to wrestle with mo Scotch back hold for $200 a side or will wrestle a mixed match of two styles, each to choose ono style and agree to throw my opponent ten times, in the same time, he secured five falls from me.

The condition of Smith was jes- teday such as led to the opinion on the part of the physician that he might recover. The hospital, is probably the healthiest place that he will find. About fifteen minutes after he got on board the boat to come to Astoria last Saturday, a crowd of men camo to the landing to hang him, and, perhaps it is about the best use he could be nut to under the circumstances. -Considerable speculation is now openly expressed respecting the prob able effect upon business in this city and stato on the opening up of the Northern Pacific railroad across tho continent a direct continental Inch- way between New York and Oregon; or in other words, tho opening up of direct communication between the, ejistern, Atlantic states, Orogon, and the great .northwest, centering at the Columbia river and ports on Puget Sound, W.

What looked like a lung black box, tapering at both ends, with a lead colored box on top of it and a black smoke-stack running up through the middle, lay at a New York wharf. It was Capt. John Ericsson's torpedo boat destroyer, which, the inventor thinks, will destroy vessels that are imorecmablo to shot thrown asainst their sides. In her gun, which pointed out at her bow, about eight feet below the surface of the water, was a long steel cylinder. This was the projectilo which in warfare would, be supplied with a torpedo at the conical-shaped tip, to explode on striking the side of ship and blow her to pieces. lower;d 5llto tie Eca to serve as a tar- in uiu exiicniiiuiua ;i nut inn uc get and fired at at a distance of from j projectiles are hollow and made so that thev will float. The tendency to rise is so artfully adjusted as not to inter- j iere wnn me mgnt unuer me waier ur to destroy the aim. They are expected to come to the surface about 700 feet from the vessel, and they will pursue a perfectly horizontal course for 500 feet at least. They will travel the first 300 feet in three seconds or a lit tle less. They weigh 1,500 pounds each. In tho experiments thero will be no occasion to use tho torpedoes. The object will be to test the distance of flight and the accuracy of aim. Tho experiments hitherto havo been conducted m still water, and the firing off Sandy Hook will be the first deep sea practice. Tho Destroyer has at tained a speed of seventeen knots an hour, and her fullest capacity has not been reached. Although her hull proper if almost entirely under water, she is seaworthy, for everything can be battened down and no water can get into her. Blowors ventilate the boat perfectly. AU her working ap paratus is below water and it would he next to impossible to disable her in an engagement. If tho iron house built on top of her and her smoke stack were knocked off entirely it would make no difference. She would be as serviceable as ever. A steel plato eighteen feet thick is setin front of tho pilot's position to deflect balls if they should striko there. Tho pilot is entirely surrounded by iron work, and looks out through a small hole on a level with his eyes to get his bearings. He am touch off the gun when he gets in exact range, and immediately back off to safety. There is a dummy plug at the opening in tho .boat where the projectile goes out. This is shot away with tho projectile, and a valve closes over tho nolo to keep out the water. Only enough water to fill the gun can get in anv way, and this can bo quickly pumped out by a steam siphon. So there is no danger from this source. Thero is no room to spare on the boat, but sufficient for the uses required. The Destroyer is tho only craft that shoots a torpedo under water. Iveic iork Times. Dan Caatello's Circus- Of the circus which shows here to morrow, the Oregonian says: Dan Castellcrs nickel-plate circus drew a very large crowd last night, completely filling the spacious tent. It requires but an act or two to con vince the audience that the show was oue of excellence, not only in tho per formances, themselves but in general management and the stylo in which they were presented. While thero is much that reminds one of the long-ago, many of the acts are really new aud very attractive. Tho globe groupings by Durand, Samuels and Evans were exceedingly clever. As contortionists the Hecley brothers rank very high, and introduce much that is new and startling. We have not seen an' tum bling equaling that of Evans, Durand, Samuels, Harding and others. The trained horse Senator, introduced by Dan Castello, is ono of the handsomest horses that has appeared in our city. As a trick horse ho shows wonderful intelligence, and is a very attractive feature of tho circus. His perform ances are alone worth the prico of ad mission. Chas and Lottie "Belmont on the trapeze give some remarkably fine feats. During the act, Miss Belmont, while hanging suspended hoi'd downward, lifts over 050 pounds of humanity, and gains rounds of ap plause. Aside from the excellence of the performances, every one connected with the show is polite and attentive, being in snarn contrast in these re spects to those who havo accompanied circuses that have heretofore exhibited in this citv. Mr. Castello, as a clown, is well known, and it is doubtful if his equal is in the ring to-day. A matinee will be given this afternoon, and we would advisu those who desire to attead to goearly.

"There's 1113 son John, for instance. Everybody beats him ina horse trade,swiudle3 him on a watch dicker, and leaves him out in tho cold when ho farms on shares. He's good hearted, but there's no bus iness about him. If I had to depend upon John, I'd die in the poorhonse." He wrestled the bag aside, seized another and continued. "And there was my son Phillip. keen as a raiser, eyes wide open, and so sharp that no man in New Jersey dare offer him a pair of old boots for a S300 horse for fear of being cheated." "Is he dead?" "Yes, he's gone; and that was the sharpest trick of all. He found he'd got consumption, aud what did he do but hunt up a life insurance agent, take out a 5,000 policy, gave his note for the premium, and come home aud fall off a load of hay aud run a pitch fork clear through him. Some sons would have hung on and doctored around and wanted currant jelly and chicken soup for eighteen months; but that wasn't Phil. No sir. He didn't even ask for anything bettcr'n a 20 tombstone, and he said I needn't git that unless tho marble cutter would trade even up for a blind c-ilf." -Bonton Herald.
