It is stated privately in San Fran
cisco, that Ferguson, a wealthy con
tractor of St. Paul, has secured the
contract for the Cascade tunnel, and
that a telegram has arrived here
asking a Canadian Pacific contractor
here to go in partnership in its con
struction. The Herald of Albany is the latest
addition to the ranks of Oregon daily
journalism. A place is always judged
by its newspaper and a daily is worth
a dozen weeklies in faithfully repre
senting the city or town that supports
it. The Herald starts oft" well and
merits success.
The Astoria Ladies' Coffee club will
have a pleasant social to-morrow
evening at their rooms at Liberty
Hall, and extend a cordial invitation
to all who have an interest in the
welfare of the club, and all who look
for a good entertainment. Music and
dancing will be provided, and re
freshments served.
The present mail facilities between
this city and San Francisco are the
reverse of pleasant. The newspaper
mail service appears demoralized,
papers dated Nov. 25th have not yet
been received. The express and
telegraph company profit by the
present system, but it is an onerous
tax on the community.
There is a big estate in England
known as the Lawrence-Townley es

There are aaid to be about 800 heirs
in the United States, a good propor
tion of them in Oregon, one Miss
Mary Lawrence in Astoria. Divided
among the 800, would give each one
of the heirs one million dollars which
would come very handy to any of us.

The grand flow o" the great river
is its symbol. We have stood where
we could stride the flow of the Colum
bia at a step; have traveled down its
broadening channel and seen it grow
in volume and power and "depth until
it bore great argosies upon its bosom.
Where it touched the sea it was it
self a sea. So we have seen lives,
narrow and easily spanned in their
spring-burst, grow deeper and wider
and clearer and mightier until, when
they touohed the eternal life, they
had themselves become eternal.
Such, lives are grand: God-like.

NOTIDINGSOFTIIE-NOUTHERNHAY."
On the 11th of November the
British bark JS'orthrrnliay, 1221, of
Snnderland, Boulton master, 5i days
from Callao, was boarded by Pilot
Mathews. Since that time no tidings
have been reported at this office re
garding the vessel, and extended in
quiry has failed to elicit any informa
tion concerning her. The violent
storms occasioning wide spread dam
age to shipping along the coast, have
occurred since then, and every coast
paper from San Francisco to tho
Sound has reported marine disasters.
This, coupled with the extraordinary
silence regarding her whereabouts,
has given rise to the gloomiest fears
as to tho fate of the vessel, and it is
now believed that the unfortunate
bark must have gono down with all
onboard.
It may, however, bo said that in
stances are not wautmg where vessels
have been blown about by storms, up
and down past tho port of eutry and
after being given up as lost, have ar
rived safely.
A case in point was cited to the
writer yesterday by Jno. Stearn3 of
the Old Corner saloon. "It was in
October, 1853," said he, "that I was in
San Francisco buying supplies for
Scottsburg. There was a good many
there from that section and after pur
chasing what even for those days was
considered a largo bill, we were all
desirous of getting back. About the
last of tho month, a brig, commanded
by Capt. Bunker, started for tho
Umpqua, with a very large cargo
aboard, and about twelve or fourteen
passengers. The captain was a gen
eral favorite and had I had a chance
I would have gono too. As it was
I waited three weeks when the brig
Judson, of which Wm. Wluppley was
the skipper, started with me and my
goods aboard. Eight days after
leaving San Francisco wo slipped
safely over the Umpqua bar, and our
first question was 'Where is the
Hope? No one had heard or seen
anything of her. Days and weeks
went by and the Hope was finally
given up for lost On New Year's
day, 1854, sixty-two days after leav
ing San Franeisco, the Hops was
seen outside, and the next day she
arrived safely in. She had been
blown clear to Cape Flattery, then
back down pretty near to San Fran
cisco, twice had got to the mouth of
the TJmpqua only to bo blown away
again; and so sho went.''
It is to be hoped that nothing
worse than adverse winds and stormy
weather have overtaken the Iforth
ernltav and that some day sho will
arrive in all right, though appear
ances are very mncli against her
safety.

ONE MONTH'S KAIXFALIj.
Sergeant Grifiin'a rain gauge re
ports show that during the thirty
days of November twelve and forty-six-hnndredths
inches of rain fell in
this city. That is considerable rain.
Let us see what amount of water
that represents on an acre of ground.
There are 6.272.&10 square inches in
an acre. One inch cf rain would repre
sent the same number of square
inches. In a cubic foot there are 1,728
inches. An inch of rain falling upon
one aero is equivalent to 3,630 cubic
feet The weight of u cubic foot of
water is 62 pounds. Two thousand
pounds make a ton. It follows from
the premises, that an inch of rain
falling upon an acre of ground will
weigh 226,875 pounds, which is the
equivalent of 113 tons and 875 pounds
to tho acre. Twelve and one-half
time3 this amount, nearly theNovem
bar rain fall, gives 1,412 tons to the
acre. So that on every acre of sur
face in this vicinity there fell last
month the enormous amount of one
thousand four hundred and twelve
tons of water. In some storms an
inch of rain will fall in little over
an hour, Such rapid rain fall is,
however, infrequent. The impact of
113 tons of water on an acre, falling
suddenly, is very great, and tends to
paok the land hard. A gentle rain
or mere drizzle is more satisfactory
in au agricultural point of viow. As
the rain' season can not be con
sidered over till we have had about
fifty-five inches of rain, it will be
seen that 6,236 tons of water to an
acre ought to keep the springs and
wells in good working condition next
summer.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
An interesting maritime decision
was rendered in London recently,
which is of special importance - to
those chartering vessels "to arrive."
Tho question decided was, when-oan
a vessel be said to be "ready" to load
a cargo. The plain tiffs,, the owners
of the British Bhip Rowland Hill,
and the defendants, merchants in
London, entered into a charter-party
by which the Rowland Hill was
chartered to them to proceed to Port
land, Oregon, in the United States,
and there load a fnll and complete
cargo of wheat and (or) flour in bags
and (or) other lawful merchandise.
It was further provided that.
"should the vessel not have
arrived at Portland and be
ready to receive cargo on or before
sundown on the 31st of October next,"
the charterers were to have the op
tion of cancelling the charter-party.
The vessel arrived at Portland before
the time specified, but the defendants
claimed to cancel the charter-party
on the ground that she was not at
sundown on October 31st. "ready to
receive cargo," inasmuch, as she had
at that time some 300 tons of ballast
on board, and, further, was not lined
throughout in the manner usual and
necessary for the protection of a
wheat or flour cargo. The plaintiffs
having brought an action against the
defendants for a breach of the charter-party
in refusing to load a cargo,
Judgment was given in their favor,
but the case was appealed. The ap
peal was dismissed by the court.
The master of Rolls said that it was
admitted that a reasonable quantity
of ballast for keeping the ship up
right was allowable. If the whole of
the carrying part of the vessel was at
the disposal of the charterers, she
was "ready" within the meaning of
the oharter party. The question was
really one of fact The judge had
decided it, and there was evidence to
justify the conclusion at which he
had arrived. It must, therefore, be
taken that 300 tons was not an un
reasonable amount of ballast for the
vessel to retain. It had been further
argued that the ship was not- fully
"lined," but the ohaater-party said
nothing about lining, and to giro ef
feot to such an argument would be to
hold that the ship must not onlv be
"ready" but also "fit" to load. He
was not prepared to import that word
into the charter-party. There was,
therefore, nothing to justify the de
fendants in throwing up the charter
party, and the plaintiffs were entitled
to judgment. The lords justices gave
judgment to the same effect, adding
that the charter-party left it open to
the defendants to load any kind of
cargo, and that many cargoes would
not require that tho ship should be
lined. &. F. Daily Commercial
