Counterfeit silver dollars made of cast-iron and heavily plated with sil ver, are in circulation. They are such a perfect substitute that even aoid will not affect them and they can only be detected by the ring. The dates they bear are mostly 1884. John Millican, a hardworking Ore yonian reporter, is dangerously ill at St. Vincent's hospital.

Investigation showed that for "two large horses," read ''two lengths hose." Well, that's a pretty good item anyway. The suction on the Amorkeag had about given out, and tue new suction comes m just in time. One of Sherman & Ward's express wagons came flying up Squemoqua street yesterday afternoon and from the way the horse was coming, we thought, first look, that that $100 chromo door of ours was going to be smashed again. But when he got to the sidewalk he considerately headed south, and if he didn't stop, is run ning yer. Say, Mr. Men: isn't there going to be any beating of howgags, or sound ing of tom-toms, speeches, music, etc., over tuis election? xue last JittJo prohibition contest and the salvation army band racket make all and sun dry yearn for speeches, etc Wo have ajjood band and no end of oraters: give 'em a cliauce. Hire a hall, hire two nans, anu iiavo a toot before dec tion. Ihe tickets to be voted to-morrow are headed b gentlemen who nre prominently identified with tho busi ness interests of the city, aud who are capable of filling the position of mav orwith impartial dignity. The cir cumstance that one hnppens to be a Republican aud the other a Democrat is cause for congratulation to the citizens who have so excellent a choice. Of the Liverpool salmon market the London Grocer' Gazette of No vember 19th, bays: "All choice par cels of Columbia river have already been cleared, and the small supply of ordinary brands is held firm for2Ss 6d; there is no choice Fraser river left here, and for the small parcel ly ing in London 29s is demanded. We declare most unhesitatingly that stocks have never been so light for many years as at present" The Fishing Gazette, of Dec. 9, 03, win contain tuo addresses, pa pers and reports made before the meeting of tho national fishery asso ciation, held in New York city, Nov. 16, 18S7, and much other matter of interest to Americans in general and the American fishermen in particular.

On that terrible north coast on the 8th three poor fellows were drowned. They were sailors from the American barkentine 8. G. Wilder. They were trying to reach their vessel from Port Townsend, when their boat capsized, with fatal result On tho morning of the 9th the steamer Premier collided with an unknown saiiing vessel in the straits of Dungeness. Tho evening previous the bark Tidal Wace, from San Francisco, went ashore near Port Hudson, floatiug off at high tide un injured. On another page will be found two tickets prepared with great care aud considerable expense, to be voted for to-morrow. No individual voter should so far forget himself as to try to cram them both into the box, and any one that don't like those tickets can go and start a little one of his own, and vote it To kick is one of the proudest prerogatives of an American citizen and the man that ain't ace high a week before election can make you believe he has an ace full after the nominations are made, judging from the noise ho makes. Our good-looking friend Harry G. Smith, of D. L. Beck & Sons, "was amused for awhile and then made a little tired yesterday by receiving so many compliments, doubtless well meant, but unwarranted by tho facts, as he is not running for chief of po lice, or anything else. The congratu lations, etc., were no doubt intended for Harry A. Smith, the former secre tary of the Columbia river fishermen's protective union, who last Friday evening was nominated by a very large vote for the responsible posi tion of chief of police of this city. The similarity of the first and last name in both instances, no doubt, occasioned the mistake in identity . Shot a Deer. Deep River, W. T., Dec. 10, '87. Editor Astebiax: Mrs. Wm.

One of the most interesting and ex citing voyages that ever occurred to the participants was made public this morning, on the arrival of the littlo steamer A. B. Field, hailing from As toria. A Post-Intelligencer represen tative went aboard the Field while she was docked at Quincy wharf to day, aud learned tho particulars from the master. Captain G. A. Bell, who has been on this coast for a short period only, having been in command of steam crafts on tho Atlantic coast for fourteen years. "One week ago to-day, on Satur day." commenced Captain Bell, we lef t Nestucca, a small port situated about sixty miles south of Astoria, where a large salmon cannery is lo cated, doing a flourishing business. The A. H. Jfield, of about twenty-nve tons burden, is used as an auxiliary steamer in transporting general mer chandise to the cannery, returning carrying the cannery's production. Directly after leaving Nestucca, loaded with 550 cans of salmon and eighteen barrels of salmon, a strong blow from the southeast came up and in a very short time we wero being rapidly driven before the gale, with seas rolling moun tains high, breaking over our little craft, and completely envelop ing her in one solid mass of foam. seething and boiling from stem to stern. The hatches wero nailed down, the doors closed, and every preparation made for a terrible or deal. To lighten the" steamer one hundred and fifty cases and fourteen barrels of salmon wero thrown over board. On Monday the gale veered to the southwest and moderated very slightly; then onr fuel gave out The cabin furniture, hatches and every movable article, and also the parti tions between the galley aud the en gine room, wero put in the furnace. This was finally exhausted. Tho storm carried away tho foresail, and then I unbent the mainsail and used that as a foresail, which in a measure answered the same purpose. "At day light on Wednesday, with heavy seas from the westward, we were nearly on Fl at tery rocks. Tack ing and using some of tho flooring for fuel, we finally steered clear of the danger, aud a westerly wind bronght us iuto Neah bay, where Mr. Charles Adie rendered all the assist ance in Lis power in getting fuel, and we came up to Port Angeles yester day. Taking a pilot aboard, without further mishap, we came to this port Po'il-Jnielligenter, 11. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. Estes has returned greatly im proved in health.

Along about tho 18th day of last month there was a story telegraphed to the daily papers from ban Francis co, to tho effect that a sweeping re duction in steamer fares was to bo made on tho 1st of December. Cabin faro was to bo cut down from $20 to $12 and steerage faro to $7 per head. For some causo or other no such re duction was made and nobody could tell why. Last night in tho Gilman house a Mercury reporter got a little light on the subject from a drummer: "Talk about cutting down fares ! Whv, there came near being the big gest kind of a war of rates over it. The O. R. & N. folks intended cutting down the fares to just half the pres ent figures and an announcement of tho fact wa3 telegraphed hither, al though no tickets wero sold at those rate3. It is said that manager Towne contrived to bring about an interview with ex-governor Perkins, in which this is the substance of the conversa cenversa conversa teon: " 'Do I understand that you intend cutting passenger rates to Portland down to $12 for cabin and $7 for steerage?" " 'Yes, that is at least tho present intention,' replied Mr. Perkins. " 'AH right, then,' said Mr. Towne, 'you go ahead and yon'll see where you will land in this battle. You cut down your passenger rates and we will cut our freight rates. We can afford to lose a million dollars o. so, which your concern cannot We never go to war unless wo expect to kill somebody. We have never tried to get in on freights because there is nothing in it for us wo are content to let you have all tho freight either way. But yon cut passenger rates and wo will carry the war into Africa. We will haul" wheat from Salem to San Francisco for a dollar a ton and you won't get a pound of freight south of Oregon City.' " And that is given as the reason why no reduction of passenger fares was made on tho O. R. fc N. steamers, to take effect on Thursday last Sunday Mercury. The Verdict Unanimous. W.D. Stilt, Druggist. Uippus. ind.. testifies: "1 can recommend Electric Bitters as the ery best remedy. Every bottle sold lias given relief in every case. One man took .i.v bottles, and was cured of Rheumatism of 10 years standing.1" Abraham Hare, druggist J.ellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine I liave ever handled in my '20 years exMrience. is Electric Bitters."'
