JULY VI, 15S7 Tho uarao of tha man who died suddenly at Ilwaco last Tuesday morning was Brown; ho was from Portland, whither the body has been tafeen. Painters and carpenters are ali busy, and the only reason lots of folks don't paint up and build new houses and beautify and adorn is because they can't get the material on the ground. The county court met on the ISf h inst, and received and approved the reports of the sheriff and county clerk, and instructed the county clerk to make out a statement of the finan cial condition of the countv. Samuel P. Putnam, the celebrated liberal lecturer, and secretary of the American secular union, will deliver a free lecture at Liberty Hall to-morrow evening, on "Universal Mental Liberty." Admission free and every body invitad; "Joe, the clam peddler," was in the eity last Monday, from Clatsop, tickled greatly at the convenience af forded by the ferry. Ho brought over a cartload of clairs, sold them here for big money, got gloriously howcomeyouso and went back pro claiming his prosperity to the heavens. Poor old Professor Garragns ev erybody knew Garragns died at In dependence last Friday, ne got a crazy notion in his head a long time ago -that he was a United States sen ator, or ought to be, and made con siderable fun for the bo3s at the cap ital on various occasions. We could have better spared a better man. The outside salmon canneries are beginning to crowd each other. The Coast Mail says: "The machinery, brick, etc., for the cannery across t he bay came up on the last steamer, and a force of, men are busily at -work putting up buildings and placing things in position so as to be ready to commence canning as soon as the fall fishing begins. Mr. Marshal, the owner of the cannery, came up from San Francisco on the last steamer. Justice Cleveland's court was busy yesterday dispensing even-handed justice at market rates, the occasion being the complaint of a lady resid ing in the extreme -western part of the .city, who claimed to have been shaken by an irate Chinaman because she drove her unoffending muley cow out of his yard. The Chinaman's de fense vanished like the mists of the morning before the mandate of the court that he pay 20 including costs. Ever since the Carrier Dove dragged her anchor on the Columbia cable it has been useless. Three un successful attempts have been made to place the break and repair the line, and now a fourth will be made by the government which, like Provi dence, moves in a mysterious way its wonders to perform. If on this oc casion it will enable the telegraph to plant its footsteps in the sea and ride the raging storm, all same Providence again, it will be a convenience to all ooncefned. A number of changes have been made in the commanders of coasting vessels. Captain Martenden has re lieved captain'Kale of the bark D. C. Murray, captain Schwarting, of the bark Samoset, has been displaced by captain Monroe, late mate of the bark Aiden Besse; captain Sawyer, late of the burned ship Ocean King, takes the ship Ericlison, relieving captain Johnson, and captain Ross, of the sohooner Maria E. StnitJt, has been succeeded by captain Yonn green, formerly of the Del Norte. t A good house greeted Dan'l Sully and his company last night in the play.of "Daddy Nolan," a play full of sunshine andshadow, of mirth and pathos, of smiles and tears, of scenes that provoke the broadest laughter and call tears to the. eyeB of the audience. It was well put on the stage and well acted, the Brooklyn bridge lit up in the third act being particularly well received. Sully is a good aotor, and "Jimmy" is worthy special mentien: the rest are fully up to the average andT present many pleasing specialties. There are a good many funny things, and some are fnnnier than others. One of the funniest is the re cent visit of a Chinese gardener to the Seaside house. Everyone knows the care and diligence bestowed by these Chinamen on their vegetable gardens towards Smith's Point One of the "bosses" went over last Satur day to. the Seaside, and contracted with th"e manager to supply him with vegetables from Astoria for the season. He rode on horseback, all same Melican man, and on his return was quite proud of his successful ne gotiations. Postal inspector George Mason has received orders from Washington, says the News, to immediately in Bpect all the fourth class postoffices in the district under his charge. The magnitude of this order wUl be ap preciated when it is learned that there are 514 fourth class offices in Oregon, 418 m Washington territory, 250 in Montana and 8 in Alaska. This makes a total of 1,185. These are all in the district under Mr. Mason's care, and he and the inspectors under him-have a herculean task to per form. Following are the total number ef postoffices above mentiened: Ore gon, 528'; Washington, 426; Montana, 262; and Alaska, a Total, 1,224. Girl Wanted. To sew in tailor shop. Apply to Tlios. Malrs.

The nobility of his character, as' displayed in the most trying circumstances, especially his unselfish devotion to his country, has endeared his name to countless human hearts throughout the world. He is admired aa a great, and rever enced as a good man. Men will ever thank Irving, because he, with much enthusiasm, devoted the last years of his honorable literary career, to writing the life or this illustrious patriot, soldier, and statesman. Washington could have no better biography. Of 'American men of let ters, Irving was the first to win rec ognition in European circles. His poetio refinement, his genial humor, his pure moral tone, and- the almost faultless finish of his style give an abiding value to his writings, And his best qualities come to view iu his Life of Washington.

Of this exponent of liberal nrinci pies, who will speak at Liberty Hall to-morrow night, CoL EobL G. Inger boII says: "Mr. Putnam is one of the most thorough believera in intel lectual liberty iu the world. He has written some of the most stirring ap peals to the liberals of this country I have ever read. He believes that freethought has a future; that the time i3 coming when the superstitions of this world will be forgotten or remembered some of them with smiles, most of them with tears. Mr. Putnam, although endowed with a poetic nature, with poetic insight, clings to the known, builds upon the experience of man and believes in fancies only when they are used as the wings of faot. His abilities are of the highest order. He compels the admiration of everyone who really loves the just and true." Give Them a Chance! That is to say, your lungs. Also your breathing maohinery. Very wonderful machinery it is. Not only the larger air-passages, but the thous ands of little tubes and cavities lead ing from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to be there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do, they can not do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneu monia, catarrh, consumption or any of the family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There i3 just one sure way to get rid of them, that is to take Boschee's German Syrup, which any druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. Complimentary Mentlnu. John H.
