This preparation has been before the public but a short time, yet the sale has been extraor dinary. WTisdom's Bobertine is for sale by all the leading druggists.

According to the provisions of the new law regarding the dates for hold ing court in this judicial district, the regular term of the circuit court for Clatsop county would have begun yesterday, but as a term had just been completed under tho old law, Judge Taylor concluded.to hold tho next term begining June 20th. In the police court yesterday Hong and Wah each learned by the forfeit ure of $5 that baskets on poles must be carried, if at all, on ihe street and not on the sidewalk. Carl Carlson was found guilty of vulgar and abu sive language to a woman and fined $100. Then ho was arraigned on a charge of drawing a knife on an of ficer, it appearing that when Officer Linville went to arrest him he made an effort to carve Linville, who there upon caressed him with a club. For the effort he was fined an additional $100. Sec. 155 of the charter says: "Tho mayor and councilmen are not en titled to and mnst not receive any salary or compensation for their offi cial services, nor shall they, or any of them, be in any way interested in any contract made with or on behalf of the city during their term of of fice."

Last night's mail brought The As tobian the New York Tribune and New York Clipper almanacs for '87, a- little late by reason of eastern mail detention, but none the less welcome. The Tribune almanac, as usual, is of great value. Its chief merit to a newspaper office is its accuracv, and its political information makes it worthy of a place in any newspaper office in the Union. The Clipper al manac is the "boss" for reference to records in the sporting world and is handy to settle" disputes and ques tions that arise occasionally. Messrs. Church and Harmon, of the ill-fated Dawn, arrived last Sun day on tho State, and were most cor dially welcomed by many who had given up all hopes of ever seeing them again. Begarding their peril ous adventures there is but little to be told that has not already appeared. Emphatic denial is made of the state ment that there wero no anchors aboard. Geo. Harmon says: "As soon as we fouud that the pipes were leaking we put out the large anchor, but tho chain snapped. Then we put. out the two little anchors, but with tho gale that was blowing we might as well have put out two atovelids." They also deny the report that they had plenty provisions aboard. All they had, as stated in the San Fran cisco dispatch, was a half loaf of bread and a ham bone. "We were clean out of grub," says Harmon, "and expected to eat dinner in Asto ria tho day we went over tho bar." The two men suffered greatly from hunger and anxiety and show the effects in their bodies, which are emacia'ed. On being picked up by tho Empire on tho 12th, 110 miles south ot the Columbia river, 38 miles W. S. W., of Yaquina and 35 miles off shore, they were given some crackers, a codfish, a sack of potatoes, a half barrel of pork, some tea, coffee and sugar, but had little appetite for any thing but the crackers. They went aboard the Empire and when she broke tho tow line and went adrift, tho provisions went with her. Harmon, who was in The Astorian office yesterday morning, says that when the Dawn was drifting that morning, the Gen. Canby was below them, coming up from the fort, and that they were blowing signals of dis tress, and that if the Canby had only altered her course a little, she could have come right up alongside of them and taken the boat in tow.
