Southard Hulbert and the City of Athens were reported to have crossed out yesterday. There will be a meeting of the Woman's Keliet Corps next Tuesday afternoon for election of officers. The British bark Invhgrccn cleared for Queenstown yesterday, carrying 57,682 bus. wheat, valued at S3S.100. The new tug J. M. Colmun, built on the Sound, will shortly begin bus iness for the mill company at Shoal water bay. If there is any smart young man accustomed to selling goods, out o f employment in the city, he can hear of a job at E. C. Holden's auction rooms. About 20,000,000 feet of logs got away from the Cowlitz river loggers during the recent high water. About two thirds were recovered at considerable expense. , If you want an account of a fine pleasure excursion, get Wm. Allen's experience on a recent pleasure trip through Chehalis county and around .Gray's harbor. After the recent storm over 2,000,- ' 000 feet of logs were afloat in Gray's Harbor. The Vidette says while the most of the logs will be recovered, the 'loss will be heavy. "The wreck of the Yaquina City was sold at public auction last Tues day to Capt. Dick Lemon. She lies high and dry at low tide, and a team can go right up to her. Keporls from the various dykes along Young's river, Lewis & Clark's and the "Walluski, are to the effect that the damage, though serious, is not so great as was at first feared. "How to lie when asleep," is the ti tle of an article in a "Walla Walla pa per. It's bad enough to lie when awake without trying to give points on mendacity in hours of slumber. The down river mail is now about equally divided, about halt of it com ing on the .morning boat, on the mornings that that boat arrives, and the other half coming along as be fore. There will be a dance at Gray's hall at Skipanon on Thursday evening, the 29th inst. There will be a free boat to and from the dance. A good time will be had, as usual, and all are invited. Don't forget about the Scandinavi an Christmas festival on the 29th inst It will be something unusual in this city and well worth seeing, and the ball in the evening will be also a pleasurable occasion. Capt. Uriel Sebree. inspector of the Thirteenth lighthouse district gives notice that the red lens lantern light on beacon No. 2, Cathlamet bay, has been discontinued, but will bore-established as soon as practicable. Preparations are being made for Christmas trees at the various city churches. A Christmas without a Christmas tree is no Christmas at all for the little folks, and Christmas is peculiarly the festival of the children. Old man Stolten, aged 82, in the penitentiary on a life sentence for kill ing a man in this county some years ago, fell the other day and injured himself so badly that it is thought Ms sentence will have a speedy ter mination. Bev. M. G. Mann, from the Quin ault reservation, says the Indians have all got over having the measles, and the reservation is free from the disease. The Indians are dying off, though, their number yearly dimin ishing. They can't stand contact with the whites. The California excursionists to the last spike driving at Ashland leave San Francisco and Sacramento to day. The ceremony will take place at Ashland at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon, and will be witnessed by several prominent men from both states. Kelson Bennett has thrown up his railroad contracts with the Oregon Pacific railroad, as that corporation owes him so much now that he did'nt care to do any more till he was paid for what he had done. Giving up these contracts throws 800 men out of employment. Senator Mitchell has introduced n resolution in the senate, asking the secretary of war for information as to tliesize. character and present con dition of the military reservation on -.vhich Fort Canby was built, and also for further information regarding the removal of troops from and abandon ment of the fort. Capt. Dick Lemon came from Ya quiua yesterday morning, where he has been buying steamship proDorty; the vessel he bought cost 8200,000 a few years ago, and if riveted together and afloat would bo of more value than in her present plight. He talks of bringing her around here and starting a sawmill. Xo one in Astoria feels satisfied in the morning without seeing The As toiuan to find out what is going on. The carriers leave- it regularly enough, but it sometimes blows away, or is nipped occasionally, and all ef forts to prevent it seem futile. If you don't get your Astorian in the morning send round to the office and get one at any time. The Albany Herald says that Lu ther Elkins, one of the oldest pioneers of Oregon and an old settler, is dj'ing at the home of his son at Lebanon. Mr. Elkins was president of the sen ate in 18G2, and, though a Democrat, cast the deciding vote which elected Col. E. D. Baker and James W. Nes mith United States senators, defeat ing Delazou Smith and Gen. Joseph Lane. A sequence of political events made it necessary for the legislature to elect two United Slates senators at that term. For many years there has been no parallel to the total disasters as indicated by Lloyd's register for the week ending Nov. 2nd. The total number of casualties and losses for the week is 117, of which GJ sailing vessels anil lu steamers are British. The total for the year to date is 1,G37. as compared with 1,507 last year, the black list for the year exceeding 188G by 130. The disaster to vessels in October, especially those lost in the recent gale, was 57 destroyed, ton nage lost, 10,209, number of lives lost. SS. This explains how it is that the companies doing an ocean marine business have had such an unfavor able business the past year. In the Washington territory legis lature, last Wednesday, Stevenson offered a bill to protect food fishes. It makes it unlawful to take salmon, steelheads. or bluebacks, in the wn ters of tho Columbia or its tributa ries, from March 15 to May 1 or during the month of August None must be taken between G o'clock Sat urday evening and G o'clock Suuday evening.

Larry Sullivan and George Stevens had a matinee yesterday afternoon, and when officer Linville appeared he arrested them. Geo. Stevens depos ited S10 to appear and answer to che charge of fighting; Sullivan put up $20 bail on two charges, lighting and using abusive language on the streets. While takiug Sullivan along the street Linville tried to make him shut his foul mouth, as ladies and children were passing, and only after slapping him on the jaw did he get him to stop. They will both appear before Judge Jewett lo-daj'. As a continuation of the day's doings, just before the li.R. Thomjison started on her up trip last evening, Sullivan went aboard and soon made his presence unbearable by his foul language, and the captain put him ashore. Ho soon came aboard again, however, and began again to recite some of his choicest selections. This time the able-bodied mate knocked him ashore with a handspike and it was found necessary to cairy the resultant wreck to a ho tel. Just Kocciictl.

There was a large and enthusiastic gathering atLuigi Serra's restaurant, the occasion being a banquet given by the well known and hospitable proprietor to the Bepublican candi dates at the late election of city of ficers, and their friends. On this occasion the generous host fairly outdid himself and the tables were loaded with a tastefully ar ranged and bounteous repast which included everything in the form of food and drink which the most fas tidious could desire, and to which the highest compliment that could be paid was the satisfaction with which tho viands were discussed by tho many friends present.
