All right: we can get along just as well without it. Beginning to-morrow tho stock of D. Hart, embracing fine ladies' and gents' clothing will bo disposed of at private sale at very low prices. Gov.

W, have changed the time and place of tho reg ular meetings. Hereafter the Lodge will meet on Thursday evenings in the hall over Carnahan & Co.'s. The Eastern Oregon blockade and general freeze has tho bad effect of send ing up the price of meat all over the state. Mutton, especially, is likely to be a luxury until next spring. The Statcof California, at the Union Iron Works, is getting new between decks. and the old boilers taken out. The now steel boilers are now ready. They have an inch thickness in the shell, and each of the two has 2GS tubes. The Astohiax will issue its usual New Year's edition with articles descriptive of our county and with special references to our resources, improvements, industries, etc. Leave orders at the office so wo may know just how large an edition to runoff. Mr. J. ."W. "Welch, superintendent of the Columbia water company's works desires it stated that any one allowing their vyer pipes to run, thus occasion- ,-43Pt-B?-'SS waste, will have the water turned off from their premises without further notice. There will ba..asurvev held on the Chesebrough at 10 f o'clock this morning. It is thought probably that tho water reached the lower tier of sacks as she had at one time thirty-three inohes of water in her hold. Yesterday one pump had no difficulty in keeping her dry. For tho first timo since tho storm there was some chance to get around the streets yesterday in something like com fort. Everyone tried to shovel the snow off as well as they could, but it snows and blows and rains and freezes inside of fifteen minutes,. cleaning sidewalks is of little use. Next Thursday's Astobian will contain information, the mere procuring of which would cost any one of its subscribers at least $100. If you want to send a paper away giving a good idea of the place, leave your name for an extra copy. It will cost you the sum of five cents. As a matter of record, to preserve for refer ence, the issue jill be invaluable. Astoria has fared pretty well compara tively speaking in tho matter of trans Srtation during the last two weeks, ther communities have been hide bound and snow bound and ice bound and blockaded and without any communica tion with the outside, but the O. ft. & N. Co. has managed to give us a daily boat and mail with almost accustomed regu larity, all of which is duly appreciated. Creditors in San Francisco and else where make a mistake if they start in crowding anyone at the present time. Purely as a matter of business policy a creditor will do better at present to give a man lime to get some money to gether than to shut down on him and force him to the wall. To do that oan in somo cases only result in the creditor losing considerable beside irretrievably injuring the debtor's busi ness. The government telegraph line has been completely demoralized since the first of tho storm. Yesterday J. N. Grif fin went along the line between here and Fort Stevens and repaired it where it was broken in half a dozen different places. Last night it worked all right between here and the fort, and as the cable across the river is intact, it is probable that after some repairs in the vicinity of Chi nook that communication with tho cape can again be resumed. The British ship Yarra Yarra, 1,212, Earl master, 17 days from San Pedro; the British bark Halia, 530, Tornebohm master, from Honolulu; the British bark Saraca, 836, from Dunedin, and the Brit ish bark Barrarouta, G10, Barber master, from Antofogasta, arrived in yesterday afternoon. The American ship C. South ard Mulbert, 1,030, "Watts master, 154 days from New York; tlie British bark Kincardineshire, 1,262, Cooper master, 140 days from Glasgow; the British bark Valparaiso, 750, Mills master, 5G days from Valparaiso, and three others are reported outside. TheChehalis Videlle says The Asto bian is "trying to throw discredit and blame npon the people of this valley." Tho Vidette is mistaken. The Astobian throws discredit and blame nowhere. This journal copied what the Hoquiam Hews said about tho liray's harbor steam er project; what was there said is the general impression at this end of the route and that's all there is to it. If the Vidette wants to kick up a row with the News that is another thing altogether. The Astokian has always championed the cause of Chehalis county, and looks above little local squabbles. The Vi delWs article is correctly headed "a good deal of bosh, which exactly charac terizes its tenor. For Dinner Parties to order, at short fcotiw, fio to Frank Fahre's.

All sewers or mains or planking anew of streets to be let by contract to the lowest responsible bidder, requiring bonds for the full amount for the faithful perform ance of same. E. A Fortuaate Knpe. The Shubricl: started to lay some buoys in tho stream yesterday afternoon, and while at the Tongue Point depot, Capt. J. A. Brown, who was assisting, caught sight of what seemed to bo a man hem med in between two big cakes of ice that came drifting around the point. Officer Uichardson and two of tho orew put off in a boat to the rescue and getting along side found that it was indeed a man vho had started to cross the river in a ho.it some distanco above, and getting jammed between two ico floes that held together was being carried out to sea. Th res cuing party cut their way into tho ioo a little ways and then throwing hirn a line dragged man and boat from their peril ous position into open water. By this time the wholo party had drifted down opposite Flavel's dock, the steamer fol lowing them down and picking up rescu ers and rescued. It was a close call for the individual in tho boat whose nam could not be learned. IXCOMIXG JPASSEXGEBS.

An exchange acknowledges receipt of half a dozan minoe pies, which the editor says he ats with relish. It is presumable that the editor of that paper has a "patent inside." Corvallis Gazette. O. P. Adams of Linn county has sold the famous cream oolored Clydesdale mare, "Oregon 'Beauty," whioh has p. very heavy mane, soven feet long, for $2,000, to be taken to California. The Independence West Side says: "The W. C. T.

' An owl lit on tho top of the Patheon salooa on Monday, and evidently froze to death, for there it has remained ever since. Probably when tho weather mod erates the bird will thaw out and flyaway. Seattle Post-Intelligencer. An old mountaineor called at the Port land News office tks other night and said he would tako a contract to get the mails out of tho snov blookado in twenty-four hours. Anothor offered to perform a like service for the snow-bound passengers on sleds in less time. The Mist is informed by Irwin Seffert thut himself and his brother Albert cut iO treee in one day, from 8 a. k. to 5 1 u., the trees averaging 48 inches in diame ter. This is an immense day's work, but tho boyh' reputation for veracity war rants publishing the statemont. East Portland begins the necessary re trenchment in her expenditures by cut ting down rents, ofneara salaries, the printing fend, and so on. Street lights will be discontinued altogether. The or dinance providing for general expenses was roduoed from $21,000 to $11,330. In this state there are 937 public schools of an average value of $2Go and total value of $249,087. The number of scholars attending these schools is nearly 70,000, instructed by 1,141 teachers. To defray the expenses for running theso schools $315,885 is annually appropriated. This is a good showing for so young a state. The projectors of the exoursion by steamer to the Sandwich Islands find that the encouragement received is not sufficient for them to oarry out their de sign, it will not, therefore, take place. This would doubtless havo proved a most enjoyable trip, and at a small expense, but the present condition of business is not favorable for such luxuries. A gentleman who has just arrived from the Oregon Paoifio railroad reports to the Portland Newt that fifteen bridges nndoulverts are washedaway on that road betweea (Jorvaliis ana the summit, a dis tance of twenty-five mile3. All that re mained to be completed was a mile and a half when the present storm commenced, but the freshets have used up the road so badly that it will delay the completion for some time. Most of the man employed on tho gov ernment works at Rocky Point will be discharged the end of the month, and a small crew will bo kept at work sluicing off dirt from tho rock so as to bo in readi ness to resume operations in March. Tho amount appropriated has not all been ex pended yet, and sufficient will be on hand to commence work in tho spring, when it is hoped z liberal appropriation will be granted. Marshfield News. "While this weather lasts we shall have to "rest on tho promises." This, says the Oragonian, may bo illustrated by a local anecdote. A few years ago Rev. Mr. Coates, the pastor of tho Baptist church in this city, while administering tho consolations of tho gospel to an in valid lady ia his parish, said: "I hope, sister, that you are resting on the prom ises." She said, "Yes, I am." Ho then asked: "What special promise are you chiefly resting on now?" And sho re plied,""Grin and bear it." Several men have arrived in Portland this week, says the New Northwest, from the snowed-in trains on the O. R. & N. Co.'s line. It in a fearful walk 55 miles through deep snow, with the frequent danger of being hurled iato the Colum bia by slides. One of them said he was "afraid of a long imprisonment and got out while he had strength." But the passengers are in no danger of starva tion. Provisions are sent to them by sled from Hood River. Superintendent Rowe says he will get food to them with out fail. Of all the grand juries that have ever been called together in this county, the present one, says the Portland Standard, takes the cake and the bake shop. They were called together eighty-four days ago, and have done as little as any body of men could, in fact it seems as if they have tried to see how little they could do. They would meet and in a few min utes adjourn until the next day, and one went home to Rooster Rock and was snowed in for several days and when he returned he had the cheek to inquire if his jay did not go while absent. The ex penses are $19 per day and to the present time amounts to $150G, and the end is not yet, as they have adjourned until Januarys, 1835, when they will meet again, spending the holidays in good style at home. Maior Sonera and party arrived from the interior last Friday night for the purpose of locating the Canadian Pacific railway extension from Port Moody to Coal harbor, says the New "Westminster Columbian. The written instructions have not yet arrived, but the major will co on in accordance with a telearam received from Mr. Van Home asking him to locate this line. It ia intended to run the line from Port Moody down the south shore of Burrard inlet to Coal harbor. In reply to a question Major Rogers said the locating of this line did not imply the abandonment ol the mid dle route at all. In his opinion the railway company would need at least nine miles of wharret on the inlet, The wharf and harbor accommodation at Port Moody were altogether insufficient, and there would be wharves constructed from Coal harbor all the way up. The peninsula between tho inlet and tho Fraper river would eventually be like the mocth of tho Mississippi branch s would Bhuot out frtn the main hue of r dlway touching every harbor that was worth seeking. There mi 'lit be- n branch via Burnaby lake to English b-iv, and one to Nex Vestminster. Ro did not thin'c there wis any probability thut tho Ryndante would leavj this city and har bor without railway connection.

They" scorn to forgot that in every healthful sport there is an element of danger, which is not the least of its fascinations. Per haps somo of theso pessimists were onco bovs and cirls, and if they then lived be yond tho Rockies they may remember certain oiu logics wno soicmniy warneu them of the risks they ran in going, on tho ice. It was not on rollers those un fortunate children skated of whom tho poet mournfully sings: The ico was thin, they all fell in The rest they ran away. Theroisone important difference be tween skating on ice and rollers which should not be forgotten. The ordinary rink is neither so long as a river nor so broad as a lake. Therefore grace and not speed is tho quality most to be culti vated. Anyone who can keep his feet can skate fast; thoso ,who best illustrate the poetry of motion move slowly. A word to spectaters: Don't applaud when a beginner falls. Arnica and not applause is what the case demands. Be sides, you may follow his example your self some time. And don't imagine when yon see a skater in the center of the floor attempting somo difficult move ment that ho is "showing off." The ex ecution of fancy steps is only attained by practice, and tho luxury of practicing in private can only bo indulged in by the very few who havo their own rinks. It would bo well, too, for spectators who sit near the corner of tho rink to koop their feet as far from tho center of the room as possible, as all skaters aro not "accustomed to obstacle racing.
