Holden's at eleven o'clock this morning. Hugh Murray has bought the Minnie Miller and will run her on Tillamook bay and Hoquarton shough. R. B. Belgrave, advance agent of the Spanish Students, says his com pany will play in Astoria next Fri day. The annual iL E. conference for this district will be held in this city, beginning next Wednesday, th 22d inst. A young man threatens to sue an eastern editor for calling him a dude. The wqrd is a compliment in its right ful meaning. Rev. J. V. Milligan will exchange pulpits to-morrow with Rev. D. 0. Ghormloy, of the East Portland Pres byterian church. It is understood that a con tract for the piers and abutments of the Northern Pacific bridge over the Willamette will be let to-day. The enormous amount of freight offering for this country has started several sailing vessels loading at San Francisco principally for Sound ports. The Grisedalc and Elver Nith have lightered sufficiently to go up stream and start this morning. The Red Cross and Carrie Winslow follow as soon as enough of their cargoes can be taken out.

Tho General Verdict Humorous were the expressions of surprise on reading the verdict in the Hays-Baker case yesterday morning. Tho verdict meets with universal con demnation. "It will take a long time for Clatsop county to get over that, s&id Judge Bennet after the jury had given their verdict and the prisoner had been discharged. District Attor ney McBnde stated when court opened yesterday morning that he felt like dismissing the rest of tho cases. For the sake of our good name as a community we ask those in neighboring cities and towns who with wonder read of the result in the farce enacted last Thursday night not to judge the community by that act Especially is it timely to suggest to those who live by questionable means that though one of their number may escape, yet they cannot with impunity repeat tho dastardlv record. There is h tribunal above and.boyond the law it is the power that created tho law and to which the law is subservient It Is the highest appellate court on earth. It ib Public Opinion. In the present instance it has been outraged and were a thousaad courts in session sad the whole machinery of "law" constant action yet those who snap their fingers at the law's impotence might be the first to feel tho power of ine mgner court.

IGth 1883. Ed. Astokiax: Have you been of late to this beau titul little burg, if not the local im provements would surpriso you. The road from the landing is all planked and if a wet day ono has only to sit down at the top of tho hill and in a few minutes he will find himself safely landed in front of B. A. Sea borg's residence, then all that is neces sary is to pick up your scattered legs and proceed over the hill to the weather beach; thai is well planked. You may walk, ride or roll down, you will fetch up at Kellog'-s camp. 2o impediment now being in the way, you make your grand entree on the weather beach. There you behold old ocean cutting up all sorts of ex centric movements, as well as some score of pleasure seekers taking their necessary scrub. Now comes tho grand ight as far as the eye can discern, both up and down the beautiful beach. Scattered iiere and there are hi" peo ple, little people, fat and lean, all seeking the haunts, of the sportive clam. What succesa Potter? ha-lo hi-yu crab. We saunter leisurely up the beach to our friend Stout's. The American flag at half-mast. How is this? A whale 48 feet long, dead and ashore just above. We fall in with many distinguished ladies aud gentle men. We give the customary salute and pass on. We pay and retire to tho beach. Ah, two friends, the ex cruciating George S. and the witty Ross, surveying the beach for a starting point for their new project of constructing a tubular iron wharf out somo ten miles to sea, 'feasible certainly." Jack N. says it can be done and so does Uliarlcy Barnes, that clenches the enterprise. Wo saunter towards brother Looniia', behold, we are nearly prostrated from the effects of effluvia from the whale. It is sufficient to drive this small crowd back and it is well it did as we were just in time for our supper at Ilwaco, which we relished hugely. One peculiar art they have in the cul inary department is in serving up the tr.angular beefsteaks by an en tirely new process of cutting and cooking, we fortunately discov ered tho socrct by mere accident. The great art is to seo how many small pieces can be cut out of ono porter house steak, fried till crisp, four pieces to oich individual. Everybody seems to enjoy themselves. Jack Knott as U3ual has brought in one of the largest elks of the season. The local ongmeera aro now busy locating tuo railroad from Bakers Bay to Oysterville and many other minor improvements that would make Villard's heart jump with delight. The court is now sitting at Oysterville and from the anticipated verdicts everything will eventually bo gay. Slav Yahd.

One usher in an Astoria theater for a "first-class entertainment" stingy. Nothing is ever lost by taking pains in small things. The butcher who rolls up your purchase into great clumsy bundle you never can respect; but your heart yearns toward him who says, "Yon would like to have me trim this, sirl" following up the query by removing two pounds of bone and four pounds ot meat which has cost you Sl.. Your heart yearns to him notwithstanding you have 2o cents worth for your sliaro of the transaction, while ho had your gratuity of 81.50. The only thing which saddens 'ou m the whole mat ter iB the thought that tho next timo that butcher sells those trimmings ho will realize but three centsper pound for them. Transcript Our Progress.

"My dear," exclaimed Mr. Spoop- endyke, bouncing into his wife's room and interrupting that lady in the purely feminine enjoyment of unpack ing for the summer. "My dear, there is no use trying to get along in the country without a sailboat, and I have bought a nice one. Come along and I'll show you how it works." "Ain't that nice!" giggled Mrs. Spoopendyke, who stood in mortal terror of the water, and was afraid of anything shaped like a boat. "Are you going to sail it on the river?" "At first I thought I'd sail it down cellar,' growled Mr. Spoopendyke, "but the landlord was afraid I might upset the milk; then I thought I'd try the garret, but, there's too much wind up there; so I believe I'll stick to the river. Hurry up, now, and I'll show i you the biggest boat in thirteen conn- j ties. "If it is as big as that it must have cost a good deal, murmured Mrs. Spoopendyke, somewhat reassured by tho size of the boat "I am very glad you got a large boat, though, of course, the expense " What d'ye think I've been buy ing?" demanded Mr. Spoopendyke, with a flushed face; "got some kind of a notion that I've been investing my wealth in a salt marsh with telegraph poles for masts, haven't yo?" Think I've been laying out monoy in a town site, don't ye? Well, I haven't and I haven't been buying a rural district with a rudder in it It's a boat, I tell ye a sail boat and it won't come up hero to make a formal call; so if you're going to soe it, you want to go where it is. Coming?" aud Mr. Spoopen dyko pegged off with his hat pulled down over his ears and the expres sion of a veteran tar on his visage. "Yes, dear," replied Mrs. Spoopen dyke fluttering after him. "Say, dear, I'll stand on the shore aud watch you sail tho thing." You won't do anything of the kind," retorted Mr. Spoopendyke. I bought the boat for your pleasuro as much as mine, and you're going to sail in it. When I want vou to stand on the shore and watch anything, I'll hire a man to drown himself. Now look at that boat. Isn't she a daisy? see how she sets on tho water." "What are all those clothes lines hanging down from that stick for?" asked Mrs Spoopendyke. surveying the yacht critically. "To play Copenhagen with," roared Mr. Spoopendyke, who was not at all anxious to be examined on the tech nical points of his new acquisition " i ou take hold of those ropes, and I'll slap your hands and then we kiss. See into it now? Does tho art of navigation begin to appeal to your understanding? Now, yon get in and I'll make sail," and Mr. Spoopendyke handed his wife into tho cockpit and began to tug away at his halliards. "Why didn't you have a sail made when t&e boat was built?" inquired Mrs. Spoopendyke, by way of en couraging her husband's lubors with pleasant conversation. "Because the man was sick, snarled Mr. Spoopendyke, glancing at the head of the matt to see what was wrong. "Come up here, will ye?" he grunted, as he grabbed the halliards again. "There, dod gast ye! I knew I'd fctcli ye: and he walked aft to examine the trim of his mainsail. "How does that set?" "It seems to be a little full in the back breadth," commented Mrs, Spoopendyke, holding on to the combing with both hands. "If you cut a gore near that top stick it would be straight." "I suppose so," muttered Mr. Spoopendyke, giving another haul at his peak halliards. "If I put a bustle on it, I imagine it would take tho wrinkles out Now, Fll get up that jib, and mind,- don't you touch any thing.' Mr. Spoopondyke sot his jib and pushed off. As his sail filled, the boat heeled over, to the manifest conster nation of Mrs. Spoopendyke. "What makes the thing tip so?" she asked, scrambling up to windward, and grasping Mr. Spoopendyke by tho collar. Let down tho centre-board!" yelled Mr. Spoopendyke, suddenly remembering tho instructions he had received when he bought the boat "Let go that centre-board, quick!" "I haven't got it!" squealed Mrs. Spoopondyke. "I haven't seen it We must have left it ashorel Oh my!" The last exclamation was ad dressed to a half-hundred weight of water slopping over the lee combing, "Haul away on that jib sheet!' roared Mr. Spoopendyke, who found that he was going ashoro on the other bank of the river. "Pull her in as quick as ye can! Let go of that?" he continued, as he saw his wifo clutch ing convulsively at the peak halliard cleat "Let go the measly thiug, will ye, and haul the jib sheet!" "Is this it?" gasped Mrs. Spoopen dyke, casting tho thro.it halliard loose "or this?" and she let go the peak hal Hard, dropping the bom on Mr. Spoopendyke's head and burying him under the mainsail. "Perhaps this is what he means," she soliloquized, as she hit on the jib halliard and let go by the run. "Now we are sailing better, dear, if it hadn't been for me we would have tipped over." "That's it," yelled Mr. Spoopen 4 Positive and AUCTION OF Dry Ms, Clotliii, Fumislim Millinery, Eto., By E. C. AT Sheriff O'NeiFs Bankrupt Stare, Corner Coneomly and ?lnln Street..

If you had a compass in your ear and a deck load of idiots, you'd only need a boarding house inspector and a Hell Gate pilot to bo a floating lunatic asylum!" And Mr. Spoopendyke hailed a passing rowboat and was towed to shore igno- miniously. 'I don't care," muttered Mrs. Spoopenihdai, as alio scrambled up tho dock, anflollovved her lord to the hotel. I don't care. I may not know as much about a boat as ho docs, but if it had't been for me we would have been drowned like the dogs in August. Another time we go sailing we'll bring the boat to our room and wrap the jib sheet around us, unless it is too hot, and in that case we'll sell the boat and buy fans." And Mrs. Spoopendyke toiled up the steps of the porch to tell the ladies what a delightful sail she had enjoyed and how much Mr. Spoopendyke knew about managing his now ship. Drake's Magazine.
