The British bark Klma. 772, Roberts master, 70 days from Valparaiso, in bal last, arrived in ye?lerdiy afternoon, ten days too Into to save her charter. A thousand feet of new ho might come handy in the absence of cisterns some of these fine, dry, windy days when the tide is out and the" lira won't wait. Some one with very loose ideas on the acquisition of property got into Couch Clinton's cigar store "at an early hoar yesterday morning and got awav with $2.40. The steamer Mountains armed down at half-past twelve yesterday aud left at half-past three on her return trip. Sin is working up a nice littlo trade between here and up-river points in this state aud on tho Washington side. Tho Clatsop county ftlucifioxuil -cieti will meet at half-pat soven o'clock this evening, in tho Hook k Ladder Co.'s hall, over Van Dusen's store. Further consideration of responsibilities of edu cators, methods in arithmetic, and liter ary exercises are on the programme. All interested in educational work are in vited to be present. One of the most pressing needs of this section is an appropriation to survey tho Nehalcm river. That stream runs through a magnificent country, and a compara tively small sum would enablejthe gov ernment to cut an oighteen-foot channel, giving a splendid outlet to a large stretch of country in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties. At the last session of the county court the resignation of Jj. N. Mitchell as justice of the peace at Knappa, was received and A. H. Stone appointed to fill tho vacancy. Mr. Mitchell also resigned his position as supervisor road district No. 12, and A. Enapp was appointed to tho vacancy. A license was granted to Mr. Koch to run a ferry on the "Walluski and to J. P. Austin to run a saloon at the Seaside Passengers on the Gen. Miles yesterday afternoon witnessed a determined fight between a sea lion and tho occupants of a fishing boat this sido of Tanzy Point. The two men in the boat were busy tak ing in their net, when the ferocious phoca, enraged at the prospect of losing his dinner, bounded half-way into the boat; he was repelled by tho men but re turned to tho attack when they opened fire upon him. Six shots were fired at him before he gave up tho attack. One morning in September last Mrs. Trenhunen, who lived near the half-way house on tho roadway, disappeared. Fears were felt that she was out of her mind and instant search was made for her. The quest continued several days but to no purpose, not a single trace of tho missing woman could be found. The affair made a great sensation at the time, and occasionally wonder was felt as to her ultimate fate. "Word now comes that she is in Sitka, Alaska, from which placo she recently wrote asking that her young est child be sent to her. An attorney of this city wrote to the manager of the O. & C. railroad a few days ago about certain payments made to the company by a man who had a con ditional deed from the companv for some land in the grant now forfeited. The reply was that "no special notice of the forfeiture has been received." Tho same reply came from Register Barin. A telegram to tho secretary of the inte rior elicits no response. The grant was forfeited more than two months ago and it begins to look now as though there was some appearance of connivance in regard to the six months1 lapse of time in which settlers are allowed to perfect title. Such continued delay has an ugly look on the face of it.

Another matter in this connection roads. 1 insist that tho neccsssity of a road to Nehalcm valley is of far greater value to Astoria and the county at tho present time than u bridge to "Clatsop. Tho road would not cost a sixth, perhaps not a tenth, of the mouev that thebridire would. It would open a sparsely settled district. One in which every itich of land could be aud would bo turned into a soil of perennial fertility. Ferriage to Clatsop is comparatively cheap and con venient now, so much so that one large farmer savs if the bridge should termi nate about two miles from his place it would bo cueaper tor nim to boat as now rather than haul around by way of the bridge. Nehplom has no water-way; that com munitv is limited entirely to land travel. Thero are four outlets, however, by land: Washington county, bt. Helens, estport and Astoria. Astoria and Clatsop county will somo day, if thoy do not now, see the import ance of tapping every district that can reasonably be reached and of securing its trade and products. The Fishhawk dis trict would naturally come to Astoria, everything else equal, but we should hae such a road into Nehalcm and up its val ley as womu draw tho bulk ot the trnluc of tho whole valley here. There has been a disposition to make light of farming as though it were a fifth rate consideration to this t inn. Circum stances are dissipating that idea and soon instead Of talking of our fishing interests we will enlarge on our agricultural wealth. I throw out these suggestions without going more into details, as the facts are patent to all residents here that will think a moment. Astoeiak. EEAL ESTATE TSIXSEEKS. Reporced Darin?

Sinco thoir organiza tion the club has been occupying Liberty Hall, but on tho first of the month they moved into the hall near tho corner of Squemoqua and Olney streets, where last night a large party of ladim and gentle men assembled to greet tho club in their new quarters. The hall was most taste fully decorated; at the upper or north end was an array of refreshment tables, leaving space for those inclined to dance, a privilege of which many availed them selves. Over two hundred were present, and if congratulations and expressions of good will aro any criterion, tho Astoria Ladies' Coffee Club has a place in the kindly feeling3 of our people that wo trust will grow as time goes on.

Enrrott Asteeian: Regarding the controversy in your pa per between the interests of the mer chant and farmer, I think both aro right and both wrong. Being a hundred miles from the traiu- coutiuenti'l railway we have been a year iu feeling fully its effects. As fcoon as that road was completed, Portland, for instance, was greatly depressed. Eastern people came iu with goods at reduced prices: merchants, with their old stock?, had to and did suffer. But.they have accommodated themselves to the new order of things and are now gain ing. Astoria merchants did not feel the full effects of it till last winter and this spring. They kept on" at upi-riy the old rates and pnees. Our citizens, in traveling about, find or have found that they could buy elsewhere man3' arti cles cheaper than in Astoria, hence there has been a disposition by somo to do so, and somo murmuring by others who thought it was not a correct principle to go elsewhere, or who were in business them selves and could not,as a matter of policy, do so. Mone3 has become scarce, too, and all feel poorer and are tempted to goo Portland or elsewhere to buy, where per haps a dollar was as good as one dollar and a half at home. I admit they do not alwaj-s count the cost and risk of going and coming. They act upon the ap parent facts. Bat the dealers here are fast facing the new order of things, and thoy should, be causo aside of the considerations out side, merchants have been considering the propositions of starting branch houses here, and were that done there would be an immediate tumble to a close compction with the world. Now, as to the farmers. "Business can not bo carried on as cheaply here as elscwhero unless living is the same. Do the producers realize the fact that thev aro responsible for the extra cost of liv- im7 i or the past twenty veara the Ulat sop county farmer has asked and re ceived more for his wares than the gen eral run of producers in the illamette valley or in the state of Calfornia.

The Mnrr or It Origin A Brief Slclrh of Hi Intent or. 3Ir.. afterward Sir Rowland Hill, tho great postoffice reformer and inventor of the "postage stamp, was born at Kidder minster, England. December 3, 1795. After his education wai completed he assumed tho position of teacher in a school conducted by his father, near Birmingham," until 1833, when ho joined a company interested iu forming n col ony in south Australia, and was appoint ed secretary of tho royal commissioners who managed the affairs of the colony. He was also a member of the ''Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge." The rates of postage at that time were, very high. Postage beyond the limits of London district postoffice varied from 41 to Is 8d for a single letter, meaning a single piece of paper of le?a than ono ounce weight. This exorbitant rate of postage was beyond the means of the mas3 of people, consequently corres pondence was evaded, and this proved very injurious to commerce and tho industry of tho country. Tho high rate of postage attracted Hill's at tention; he argued that if the price of postage was lowered, so many more let ters would pass through the mail that the financial condition of the treasury would not be impaired, while society would derive much additional benefit. Ho became so much interested in the matter that in 1639 he prepared a pamphlet recommending a low and uni form rate of postage, wnich ho succeed ed in bringing befero the British govern ment; his plans were much favored, and a committeo was appointed to investi gate its merits and present a now codo of postal laws, which were adopted, making "the London direct postage 1 pen ny, and a general inland rate of 4 pence. January 10, 1840, tho uniform penny post came into use, which may be considered the birthday, of the postage stamp, al though they were not actually intro duced until tho Gth of May following. The expe-riment was successful beyond his own expectation; during the next ten years it made so great n difference that in 1850 there were sent through the mails 7,2:59,932 letters, against 1,500,000 in 1310. Hill then accented a nlace in !U1 J" f the treasury, but a change in government dismissed him. He was generally garded as a public benefactor, and a s -scnption was raised for his benefit in I. lie was generally re- sub- "Fllulf wiuinuaeujuriusDeneunuiiOU- uon, wnicu niuounteu to i.twu or S75.
