Tho funeral of tho late Fred'k Pitkin, one of the boys who were drowned last Saturday, was attended yesterday af tor noon by the pupils of the public school in a body. Capt. G. Reed has all his arrangements completed and will, to-day, begin deliv ering pure Cocalalla ice. Ordors left at Post fc Hansen's Astoria soda works will be promptly attended to. Testimony in tho Oriental hotal lira at Seattlo shows that tho firo was the work of an incendiary. Then tho man who set that fire wastho murderer of the man who perished in the flames. Capt. Tho3. Stratton, lighlkeeper at Port Angelos, dropped dead from heart disoasc,on Sunday afternoon. Ho was an old pioneer, and served for twenty-five years in tho revenue and customs service on Puget sound. Tho appropriation for tho Columbia river bar is exhausted, but those in charge of the work expect to be able to go ahead in anticipation of the fact that congress will surely make appropriation therofor at its next session. The Telephone came down in good time yesterday afternoon with 53 passen gers. Since she began running alarm clocks on Monday, Wednesday and Fri day mornings are unnecessary. Every one from Brookfield to Ft. Canny knows when it is half-past five. The new Occidental hall is fast ap proaching completion. The lioss Bros, deserve commendation for their enter prise. They are now giving Astoria what it needs, a largo comfortable, well ar ranged building for theatrical entertain? ments and public gatherings. Lieutenant Milton of tho hydrographic office states that the report published in some of the papers that the United States war vessels U'achitsells and Shenandoah had been Sent south from New Orleans is a mistake, as both these vessels are at present on the Pacific side, somewhere on the Central American coast. Capt. Lutjens of the Kate and Anna came down from Portland yesterday and took his otter and beaver skins on board. He paid no heed to the claim of M. "Wise who announced his intention to 'hire n lawver in Portland'' to make good his demand for the $13.00 that he had paid Leadbetter for. the stolen skins. Governor Moody has made the follow ingappointmeuts as a state board of im migration commissieners: H. "NY. Corbett and Charles 1L Dodd of Portland, L. B. Cox of Pendleton, "W. N. Laduo of Salem, andH. B. Miller of Josephine county. They are authorized the expenditure of $o,uuu annually in senumg aoroaci in formation concerning the resources of the state. The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give an ice cream sociable in the Y. M. C. A. rooms on Friday evening, the 27th inst. Every effort will be mado to insure a pleasant evening's entertainment to all who attend. There will be no charge for admission and a full attend ance will be gratifying to tho ladies. A cordial invitation is extended to the pub lic generally. A real live ghost is reported to inhabit a dwelling house close to the skating rink. The ghostis never seen till just at dusk, when it comes in "with a rustle," and transfixes every one with awe. As toria has long smarted under the superior airs that interior towns have put on over the possession of a ghost, and we want those "Willamette folks to understand that there is a genuine ghost and n real haunicd house in this place. The cries of a man in a skiff yesterday afternoon, attracted the attention of soma men on the O. 11. fc 2s. dock, who went to his assistance. His name is Abram Johnson. Ho was out gunning near Knappa and accidental ly shot himself in the left wrist, tearing the flesh and severing the radial artery. He was able to steer his boat and drifted down till rescued. It is thought amputa tion of the hand may be necessary. Tho transfer of tho inspectorship cf light houses of tho Oregon district from Astoria to Portland would scorn to indi cate that the Portland CDllector of cus toms would be allowed to retain his place for some time. It is' not clear what oth er meaning can be attached to the change, nor is it clear whpt practical good can re sult from the new order as Astoria is manifestly the proper place in which to perform the duties of the office. To tho Portland collector the new office brings no emoluments. Beports are current in the eastern states regarding the tendency of the Ore gon salmon to leave their native lairs and attack unfortunate travelers. As Will Clinton was returning from the Klas kanino with twenty-seven fine salmon troatlast Monday, while passing down Young's river he heard a tremendous thrashing in the bushes, and on going to the spot he found that an enormous salmon which had evidently been chasing some unfortunate man, had become en tangled in the undergrowth and was struggling to get free. The efforts of the infuriated monster were unavailing and be fell an easy prey to his captor.

The committee en fire and water, un der suspension of the rules, reported, recommending the chief engineers to notify the engineers of the fire compan ies to aid in the repair of the Silsby engine and that suitable help be em ployed in said repair. The report was adopted. On motion council adjourned. The delay in notifying Begister Barin of the forfeiture of the Astoria land grant justifies the suspicion that somo shenan igan is going on. The president signed the forfeiture bill February 3rd, and as yet no official notification has been re ceived out here. Can it be that Teller. tho corporation secretary of the interior tried to do on nsmBll scale what he suc ceeded in doing on a large scale in tho case of tho backbone grant r It looks very shaky. Tho six months given set tlers dates from tho forfeiture and if there is any holding back it will be bad for the perpetrators, for they will most surely bs found out. The late Charles Chilberg, of Seattle did not leave a will. He carried a life insurance policj- of $5,000, which will go to his parents. A very intimate friend of the deceased said to a Post-Intelligencer reperter: "While in Spokane Falls Charles joined tho Ancient Order of Tinted Workmen. When he left there he did not sever his connection with the lodge, .but left $G0 withL. B. Nash, an attorney of that place,, to keep up his dues. Afowdays before he died he re ceived an official notification that his name had been stricken from tho rolls of the lodge for non-payment of dues. Supposing the money he had left had be come exhausted, one of his brothers tel egraphed to tho lodge, asking about it, only to learn that no money had been paid in on his account since he left; con sequently his parents will fail to receive the $2,000 which they otherwise would have done, bad he been a member of the lodge in. good standing at the time of his death." He saved, and ho saved, and he saved, Economical, good Mr. Busband; And when he bad got all he craved It went to his wife's second husband. Fishermen Attention.

Your children will be delighted if 3ou let them see all the nice things for 5 and 10 cents at Adlefs A Co la the Justice Court That Attracted Soiae Attention. There has been a case before Justice Goodell for the last three days that has been a source of interest to a few who had time to sit through its tediousness. It appears that on the Nekanikum, about twenty-five miles from here, two men, B. Burke and Victor Hansen, have adjoining claims. Hansen swore out a warrant against Burke for alleged threats and violence, and Constable Beasley went out to arrest him, this being the nearest justice precinct where the last elected justice of the peaco had qualified. Beas ley got to Burke's house at G o'clock Saturday morning and had considerable difficulty in coaxing him to come along, hefinalfy having to insist and enforce the warrant by a display of arms as a stand-off to Burke's declaration that he wouldn't go and couldn't be mnde go. F. D. Winton appeared for Hansen and J. A. Gill for Burke, and the evidence fills sundry folios. It ended in most elaborate legal argument at the close of which Justice Goodell lield Mr. Burke in the sum of $500 to keep the peace. He fur nished bonds for tho amount and left for home with his ideas considerably modi fied regarding the ability of an" Astoria constable to bring what he went after. REGARDING THE FISH TRAPS. Statb of Oceoox, J Executive Office, SAuar. March 23, 1835. ) A. Schvring, Esq., Astoria. Dkab Sib: I am requested by his ex cellency the governor to say in response to your telegram of yesterday that there was not sufficient time for the forward ing of the memorial calling for tho re moval or regulation of traps in the Co lumbia river, so that it could reach con gress in time to be considered before its adjournment on March 4th. Wo are in formed that tho secretary of state has not yet forwarded it, as it could not in any event have been considered by con gress during the present session, and as his work upon other important measures has absorbed his entire time since the closing of the session of tho legislature. It is the opinion of tho governor that the matter could now be most effectually reached by a direct appeal to the secre tary of war from those who are directly interested in tho fishing interests at tho mouth of tho Columbia. It is not prob able, however, that tho secretary of war will act upon a mere telsgram from tho governor without a full and comprehen sive statement of tho urgent necessity of immediate action. Yours respectfully, Chas. B. Moobes, Private Secretary. THE FOOL FRIEND. But what shall wo do with tho warm, personal friend who sets up nights to love us but hurts us in every corner by his in discretion? Wo cannot whip, him and throw him away. We cannot get him shut up in an insane asylum, because the asylum was not designed for idiots. It was made for people who once had brains. It is a conundrum which more than one of us has given up. If tho fool friend could have his jaws locked with a time lock, and then fed by an attendant through the vest-pocket, wo could then set tho time-lock to open after election or just before breakfast on the day of judg ment, or at some other date as we de sired, and all would be well, but you can not do that. The jaw of tho fool friend wugs on and on till the goose of tho one ho loves best on earth is cooked to a rich, deep brown. An enemy may say mean things of you, but they lose force because people know at once by his bitterness that he is your enemy; but he who knows your inmost heart. Alio knows what salary you receive and how much it lacks of maintaining you, how mean you are in your family and how pleasant you are in other people's families, how you smile during the day and snore through the night, how earnest you are in your labors own habits, and a thousand other little j glimpses miojour nume mo wuicu none but a friend may know, when he has no brains to balance his warm affection for you, think what ruin he can furnish you at car-load rates.

The barkentino Melanclhon loaded with lumber at John Wood's mill at South Bend last week and on Sunday afternoon started out in tow of the tug Hunter. Whilo crossing tho bar she either struck or a heavy sea loosened her sides, and she immediately begun to make water. When outside there was two feet of water in her hold, nnd the captain after a short delay concluded to go back. By the time he had got to the mill there was eight feet of water in the vessel. Yesterday the deck load was taken off and she will be repaired a3 soon ns possible. The owners in San Francisco telegraphed to Jno. Cruse, of Coos bay. to go up and re pair her.

" 'Nay. shiver not so that I seaward go, Nor shrink from the night's black hue; There is danger far where our brethren are, And the moments left grow few.

The Spring Itonnel. There is some improvement in the shapes of bonnets and hats for spring. The capote, which is a Fanchon with a brim, is restored to popular favor. And the peaked brim poke is made larger in the back, covering more of the hair, and at the same time it is made wider and moro flaring in the front. Hats have not undergone much change. They still come with a large semi-conical crown, and brim wider and more flaring in the front than in the back, and they can be worn either far off tho forehead or on it. The ostrich feathers are restored to favor as hat trimmings, and tips are used for hats. Tho trimmings are all arranged to increase the size of the hat in front and high on the crown.' Fancy feathers and flowers will also be used, and velvet, plush and ribbon. The fancy for Bticking large silver and gilt pins, with jeweled ornamental heads, through the trimmings of hats and bonnets, and frequently through the velvet, plush or straw of the hat itself, is as marked a3 ever.
