The Weekly Astoman with sup plement is Issued this morning, the news of the week bought and gath ered, set in type at four bits a thou sand ems and printed at home. A prominent physician says that he met a man yesterday morning who said: "Lend me S20 for twenty min utes," and respended: "Stand right here fos twenty minutes and jou won't need the S20." For the last nine months of '87 there were 1,533 carloads of lumber shipped eastward from the Columbia as follews: April 193, May 91, June 192, July 236, August 194, Septem ber 153, October 117, November 229, and December 135. Since the blockade, arrivals here have been few and far between, but a Btranger arrived at Z. Anstmsen'e yesterday morning in the shape of a little girl that was induced to remain and become a steady boarder. It weighs nine pounds. The bark Alloiiby from San Fran cisco has arrived at Queenstown bad ly shattered, and reports the drown ind of four of the crew. One of them, the cook, committed suicide by leaping overboard holding an iron bar in his hand and with his pockets filled with iron bolts. By statistics given in the S. F. Bul letin, there arrived in California dur ing the last 100 days of 1837, over land from the east, 31,593 persons, an average of about SOU a day, giving for the year at the same rate, an in flux of 103.770 people. The Orego- nian claims about an equal number ot arrivals in Washington territory Oregon. The Columbia nnd Walla Walla started on a forlorn trip up the river yesterday morning. At eleven o'clock they sighted Westport, and at 250 passed there going very slowly through heavy ice. The Portland folks are out of coal and are anxious to have the Walla Walla get through. .Neither boat had got to Oak reint at S3U last night. Tho second term of tho school yoar in the Court street school begins next Monday. The direc tors have rlfinirtfirl nnt to em ploy any teacher to fill the vacancy occasioned by tha resignation ot Miss Garner, bat to divide the 215 pupils in average attendance among the re maining six teachers, and increase the pay proportionally, devoting to such increase tho monthly salary for merly paid Mis3 Garner. One of the latest "fads" of society youths is to have engraved at the bot tom of their stationery a small square about the size of a postage stamp, in whioh they insert their own photo graphs instead of signing the name. The pictures, when finished and ready mr use, are just the size ol a postage stamp, and aro ordered by the dozens and tens of dozens. Some of them have the eyes, cheeks, lips and hair colored like the original, in which casa they become ver expensive. In speaking of the recent defalca tion at the Troy postoffice a gentle man said: "It is never safe to in close an old bill in an envelope to be sent by mail. Why," said he, "men who are experts can- tell whether a letter contains money or not simply by the sense of smell. If you will notice an old greenback it has a pecu liar smell about it that can readily be perceived, even if it be inclosed with in a letter. It w batter to send a registered letter or a postal note, or, if you enclose a bill, be sure it is a new one. Ihnt will not smell." When G. Clark, second mate of the ship Ivanhoe, was missed at Seattle about the.middle of last month Capt Uottcr naid but little ntfentinn to it. Ho was a new hand, and it was sup posed that he had deserted. The ves sel was loaded with coal, and recently arrived at San Francisco and began asscnargmg, when the mystery sur rounding the disappearance of the mate was solved. While shoveling coai att in the hold Peter Johnson uueartueu UlarK's bony. U is now thought that Clark must have fallen into the hold and, while lying there in nn unconscious state, the coal was dumped in over his body. The Ivan hoe left Seattle on December 15th. Clark was aged 40 years, single and a native of Sweden. There are some Pacific coast schooners which sailors consider large, but which dwindle in to insignificance when compared with thb monster fore-and-afters doing service on the eastern hea board. During 18S7 forty-one vessels were built in Maine, and of these, ten schooners were larger than the larg est schooner on this coast. Five schooners were built of over 1,000 tons net, fonr over 900 and thre9over 700. The Kitiap, the largest schoon er entering San Francisco, whoso register is 756 tons and carrying ca pacity 1,065,000 feet of lumber, would look small beside the T. A. Lambert, the net tonnage of which is 1.5S3.44. Then there are the Lucy II. llussell, MU3.1U tons net; lilanclie 11. King, 1,093.26; Pocahontas, 1,312; 31 1. Hope, 1,030. The monstrous purses in tho shane of pocket-books which the ladies car ry everywhere in their hands are much approved of by thieves. They aro so cumbrous that they mnst be laid down while goods aro examined. Sometimes when the time comes to pick them up they are not there, and sometimes they are quilo forgotten, and eventually land in the hands of those who have no right to them. Said the dapper escort of a youug lady who was carrying oue of these absurdities: "How ridiculous the fashions of women are anyway. Im- agmo a man going about the street carrying his money in his hand like that!" "I can tell vou one thing.' she retorted, "and that is, if we do carry our money in this foolish way we spend less of it foolishly thau you men do. To which lie nothing re plied. STKAXGE NEGLECT OF DUTY. A telegram was received here yes terday from Goodall, Perkins & Co.. asking when th9 steamer Oregon luft h'ere. Can it be that Portland corre spondents have neglected to tele graph to San Francisco tho fact that Portland is bottled up and the cork driven level with tho neck of the bot tle! that there is no getting to or from Portland by water, and that all the delay to ocean steamers has been occasioned by the ice frozen Willam ette and Columbia, and that the road to sea to and from Astoria is as clear as it was last June! It does look as though the usually alert Portland correspondents of tho San Francisco papers were not intending to their business. They should let San Fran cisco and the outside world know the true state of facts even it they are somewhat rongh on our friends of the interior. The Examiner corre spondent, for instance, who tele graphed to San Francisco from Port laud that "the frozen element" mado the Oregon 24 hours late in getting from San Francisco to Astoria, and implying that the ice offered no ob struction to that vessel's proceeding inland he might, with great proprie ty, bo seized with a spasm of con science and telegraph to tho Ex aminer that the Oregon can't stir from Portland by reason of tho ice, and that the Columbia is bucking away near Westport trying to over turn God's natural laws and get through ice to her unnatural destina tion up tho creek. There is reason in the roasting of eggs, and great rea son in newspaper correspondents be ing sumciently complimentary to truth to reognize its existence when making up their reporls to San Fran cisco journals. Briefly Stated to the Pnblic. There being yesterday a generally expressed desire to have the true state of affairs properly placed before the reading public of the country. Mr. E. C. Holden, the Astoria ngent of the associated press, prepared and last evening sept a succinct statement of facts regarding the present status. The dispatch briefly states that by reason of tho freezing ot the rivers. inland communication with Astoria has almost closed; that but one mail has been received liere for three weeks; that while deep soa-going ves sels and ocean steamers have arrived here and departed without lot or hin drance, vessels and craft of all kinds have been frozen up at Portland and the commerce of tho Columbia is thoreby paralyzed, all of whioh would bo obviated by a railroad. The object of this is to show that Astoria is a seaport at all times and all seasons, and that the freezing of rivers and cessation of inland traffic can in no way hinder or retard the ocean traffic to or from Astoria. ' The dispatch will appear in the ban Francisco papers this morning, and will be sent east in a condensed form.

Nowlin was hanged at Cambridge jail this morning for tho murder of George E, Codman, his employer, January -1th, 1887. Tho details of the murder, which was committed for money and for which Nowlin was executed, mark it as the most horrible in tho history of crime in New England. Nowlin, who was only 17, was em ployed by Codman to deliver milk. According to Nowlin's confession, he went to the barn and waited for Cod man early in the morning, and when he appeared ho struck him in the neck with a knife, killing him in stantly. He afterwards cut up the body so that ho could carry it, and, putting parts ot it in the old milk wagon, drove about fifteen miles away and threw out the pieces where they were found by a farmer.

It is a constant household companion with me. Our merchant here procured it first at my solicita tion, and says he has sold a great many bottles. It is a very po'pular remedy in this section. Every per son who has used it speaks "in the highest terms of its merits. I do not know of a single case it has not cured. I first used it in Vermont, where I lived before coming here. I advise everyone to use it, as it is cer tainly the best cough medicine I have ever known. I have tried nearly all of them at different times. Yours respectfully, MOSES GRAY, Proprietor Grist Mill.

SCRATCHED 28 YEARS A Scaly, Itching Skin Disease with Endless Suffering Cured by Cuticnra Remedies. If I had known of the dmanti Rkukdizs twenty-eight years ago it would have saved me $200.00 (two hundred dollars) and an im mense amount of suffering. My disease (Pso riasis) commenced on my head in a spot not larger than a cent. It spread rapidly all over my body and cot under my nails. The scales would drop off of mo all of the time, and my suffering was endless, and without relief. One thousand dollars would not tempt mo to have this disease over again. I am a poor man, but foel rich to. be relieved of what some of the doctors said was loorosy, somo ring-worm psoriasis, etc. 1 took and Sarsapa- rillas over one year and a hall, but no euro. I went to two or threo doctors and no euro. I cannotpraiso the Coticdri Rmidies too much. They have made my skin as clear and free from scalos as a baby's. AH I used of them was three boxes ofCuiicuEi. and three bottles of Cuticcea Kesolvctt and two cakes of Cuticcba Soap. If you had been hers and said you would have cured me for S2GO.0O you would have had the money. I looked like the picturo in your book of Psoriasis (picture number two, "How to Cure Skin Diseases"), but now I am as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit I rub my hands over my arms an4 legs to scratch onco in a while, but to no purpose. lam all well. I scratched twenty-eight years, and it got to be a kind of second nature to me. I thank you a thousand times.

Catarrhal Dangers. To bo freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down : to breaiho freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed ; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain ative and free from pain or ache : to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hear ing ; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up tho poison that is sure to undeimine and do-troy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments.
