.3 Stet0rtan. ASTORIA. OSEGON: WEDNESDAY .."FEBRUARY 3. 1357 Tho British Army and North Riding came hi yesterday. There arc very few vessels iu the river, but plenty on the way. There wis an annular eolipae of the aun yesterday, invisible to this part of the universe: The Pacific Postal Telegraph Co. is now sending press report direct from New York to Portland. There was a little rain yesterday, some snow, a slight fall of hail. "a gleam of sunshine; no wind. Ice fourteen inches thick was cut on Hood river, 66 miles from Port land, during the recent cold snap. This is tho first day of Lent, a sea son of fasting and prayer lasting for ty days and generally observed throughout tho Christian world. Tho testimonial of the citizens of Astoria to Messrs. Church and Har mon amounted to 300, which sum II. L. Boyle h3d tho pleasure of handing to them yesterday afternoon. Flags fluttered in the breeze yes terdaj in honor of Washington's birthday. The vessels were also bright with bunting, the Corwin be ing particularly profuse in tho dis play. While practicing with the foils at Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last evening, Gas. Christiansen sustained an in jury in his right eye, which was promptly attended to with little dan ger of permanent injury. The city council met in regular session yesterday evening, and it being a legal holiday, it was decided to postpone the transaction of any business till this evening, when an adjourned meeting will be held. La3t Monday thirteen days' mail from Oregon, from "the 3rd to the 16th, inclusive, arrived at San Fran cisco, by special train, over the C. & O. This is hy Astoria would like to have tho ocean mail ronto renewed. The East Oregoniaii says: The severe winds of two weeks ago blew a sea gull over the Cascade mountains that landed at Hawn & Guyer's mill, in Camas prairie, where it was killed by dogs. This is the first instance reported where a sea gull has been found east of the mountains. Willamette valley papers say the prospects are that beef cattle will bo high next spring. Montana territory has for a long time been the pasture for large herds, but latest reports in dicate that this winter has been the most disastrous known in the terri tory and the loss of cattle unpar alleled. There was a large and interesting meeting of the Astoria building and loan association at the city hall last evening. The workings and practi cal operation of the scheme were fully explained to inquirers and a number of shares aggregating 163 shares were taken in five share lots. The books of the association will, at present be at Foard & Stokes'. At the regular meeting of tho Scan dinavian Benevolent Society last evening at Pythian Castle Hall, one member was admitted and the names of seven others proposed. The asso ciation tendered a vote of thanks to Judge C. H. Page, The Astorian and the Pythian L. &B. association. The association is now composed of seventy-five members and i3 in a flour ishing and prosperous condition. Its object commends itself to popular favorand it bids fair to have a career of uninterrupted usefulness. Yesterday evening, just before the calling to order of the city council, Chief of Police Twombly beckoned to Councilman Cleveland, who wa3 seated, and upon approaching him the two engaged in some conversa tion inaudible to others present in the room. After a minute or so tho chief of police hit Councilman Cleve land on tho temple with his club, knocking him senseless, lie was picked up and carried into the hall, the blood streaming from his head, and in a few moments ho camo to, being present and answering to hie name at roll call shortly after. The affair occasioned considerable com ment Oregon is being well advertised .throughout the east, south and west, as well as across the stormy Atlantic. The desire to learn more about the resources of this state is very wide spread and is constantly augmenting. Eecently, says tne Telegram, J. v. Morse, the general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, whose head quarters is at Omaha, wrote to the Btate board of immigration in regar d to obtaining papers, pamphlets, etc. He asked for 10,000 copies of the pamphlet entitled "Oregon As It Is," for general distribution. Mr. Morse said his office was constantly be sieged by applications made in per son or by letter for information re specting the glorious commonweal th of Webfoot. These applications came from every direction. Everybody had heard Oregon talked about so much that they wished to learn some defi nite information regarding climate, production, etc. Wanted.

Macy had a narrow esoape from being totally wrecked last evening on the fockB off Fort point. About nine o'clock, whilo passing in with her courses set, she struck on a submerg ed rock directly in the lima between Fort point and Limb point. The tide then was at tho lowest, witn only six feet of water on the rocks, and the vessel stuck fast. Immediately after peeing her strike the lighthouse keep er gave the alarm, asking that tugs be dispatched from this city, and a detachment of thirty soldiers from the Presidio were sent to render any assistance possible. When they reached the parapet the vessel was lying broadside to the shore, with her bow well up and all sails set. A stiff southwest gale was blowing, the surf was running high, and the ship was pounding heavily on the rocks. For awhile it seemed that she must bo beaten to pieces. About half-past ten o'clock the Sea J Aon reached the scene, followed soon afterward bv the Monarch, Rescue and Water' Witch. Aided by the tide, they succeeded in getting her off three hours later, and as she cleared the reef she settled down deep in tho water, and appeared as if she was sinking. Whilo en route to the city she narrowly escaped going on Al catraz Island, but she was finally beached in Mission bay, with fifteen feet of water in the hold. She lies at present between Mission rock and Long wharf. The Much is a wooden ship of 2,092 tons burden. She is owned by Carle ton, Norwood & Co., of Camden, Maine, and is worth about $100,000. Tho cargo consists of 2,626 tons of coal and 504 tons of steel rails, and is not damaged to any considerable ex tent. Captain Harkneas, who com mands her, has employed T. P. H. Whitelaw to pump her out so that she can be discharged and repaired. The cause of the accident is attrib uted by the captain to a misinter pretation of his orders by tho man at the helm. The Macy was spoken off Farallone Islands Saturday by the pilot boat Lady Mine, but the cap tain refused to have his ship taken in, saying ho was perfectly familiar with tho entrance and bar. It is thought that if the accident had occurred at high tide, nothing could have saved the vessel from total destruction. S. F. Post, li. The Latest and Greatest Dlscorerj-. DB.J.

Ears and Scalp Covered with Ede matous Scabs and Sores Cured by Cuticura. MY little son. aged eight years, has been afflicted with E-zpia of tho scalp, and at times a great portion of the body, ever st'ieo he was two years old. It be:an in hts ears, and extended to his scalp, which be eame covered with scabs autl sores, and from v, hlch a stic y fluid poured out, caus ing intense Itching aud distress, and leavine his hair marted and lifeless. Underneath these scaus the skin was raw, like a piece of beefctea. Gradually the hair came out and wasdestroved.untilDuta small patch was left at the back of the head. My friends in Feabody know how my little boy has suf fered. At night he would scratch his head until his pillow was covered with blood. I used to tie his hands behind him, and in many ways tried to prevent his scratching ; but it was no use. he would scratch. I took him to the hospital and to the best physi cians in Peabody without success. About this time, some frleuds, who had been cured by the Ccticcra Remedies, prevailed up on me to try them. I began to use them on the loth of January last. In seven months evcrj-particle ot the disease was removed. Not a spot of a scab remains on his scalp to tell the story of his suffering. His hair has returned, and is thick and strong, and his scalp as sweet and clean as any child's in the world, I cannot say enough to express my gratitude for this w onderf ul euro by the Cuticura Kfmedies. and wish all similar ly afflicted to know that my statement is true and without exaggeration. rHAKLESMcKAT.
