Much of the proficiency of the
members of the Astoria Sangerbun
is due to the skill and efforts of Prof.
Yost, the instructor of the singing
class.
The Oregonian, of yesterday, in a
local item regarding low water in
the Columbia, thinks it is probably
caused by "scarcity of rain." Like
is fresh complication as to
the West Cth street improvement, a
remonstrance being in active circula
tion. The lowest bid to raise Mrs.
O'Brien's hotel was S1.400.
Among other road bills that be
came a law during the recent session
of the legislature, is one appropriat
ing 11,000 to build a road from the

in Tillamook county.
At the sale of stock at Young's

oneforS18; total, S23G.
Fruit trees are moro thad ordinari
ly advanced, the fine weather having
brought them, inmany instances, al
most to the point of blossoming.
Sharp frost or cold weather would be
bad for the fruit trees in this sec
tion. The scheme to consolidate Port
land, East Portland and Albina
failed. The Oregonian thinks that
the failure was due to the "innate
modesty" of the Multnomah delega
tion. The Vindicator is jubilant
over the failure of the bill to pass.
At the M. E. church, morning
theme "Consecration;" evening theme
"Is marriage a failure?" At the Con

evening service for young people at
6:15. At the Baptist church Rev. A.

White FWi For Cnllonzhby Like.
Mr. - Tallant, of Astoria, came up
yesterday morning in response to a
telegram to meet the United States
fish commission car and procure some
white fish to plant in Culloughbylake
on Clatsop plains'. This lake is sev
eral miles long, and very deep in
places and-is situated to the left of
the road from Skipanon to the Sea
side down in the spruce timber. It
is probable that the white fish will do
very well there. Owing to the fog on
the river the boat did not arrive up
till late, and after a long search Mr.
Tallant could not find the car. By
the assistance of the O. R. & N. Co'a
officials the car was at last located at
Albina. and Mr. Tallant found it there
and secured 100,000 young white fish
and returned home happy. With sal
mon, shad and white fish, to say
nothing of smelt and tomcod, the As
toria people nro supplied with the
best fish in the world. Oregonian 23.
i
Work at the Jetties.
Mr. Eastwick, the superintendent
of jetty construction for the govern
ment, was interrogated yesterday in
regard to what the new stone barges
were doing. He said. "The three
boats already built are now used in
carrying rock to the mouth of the
Columbia from Fisher'a landing.
When the other barge is completed,
the four will be able to take 1000 tons
down the river per day. Mr. Hegardt
who is superintending the work, is
directing it in a manner conducive to
the beat rflRnlrq rtrtil ttm ;aM;A ,:n
be constructed as rapidly as they
pussiuiy couiu ue unaer any other
person's direction. They are a mile
long and, it is calculated that they
could easily be completed in five
years if sufficient appropriations were
made. Oregonian, 23.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
la the circuit court of the state of
uregon lor tilatson ceuntv:
To Hon. F. J. Taylor, judge of said
ceurt: j.110 undersigned, your grand
jury for the present term, report as
follews:
We have returned thirteen true
bills, and one not true bilL "We have
made a brief examination into the
financial affairs of the county, and
nnu mem irom tne reports or the offi
cers for the year ending June 30th,
18S3, the actual debt of the county
&??! it? rrn ,
was iw,xiu.u exclusive ot any out
side standing interest, and including
S20,000 jail bonds.
The estimated expenses of the
county for the fiscal year ending June
30th, 1839, are S23.790. The levy to
meet this expense is S25.889.10. The
levy to pay on account debt is
86,164.06, which will not more than
cover the outstanding interest The
estimated income of the county from
licenses, nnes, etc., will probably be
from S2.000 to 3,000. Funds in
bands of county treasurer July 1st.
18S3, was S6.790.25.
sheriff's office.
We find the sheriff's office iu eood
condition, and properly and efficient
ly conducted. There is no safe in
the sheriffs office except one that he
nas rented, wiiicn will have to be giv
en up shortly, and in view of the fact
that he is frequently the custodian of
large sums of money, we recommend
that he be furnished with a suitable
safe.
COUNTY CLERK.
We find the county clerk's office in
admirable good erder: the records
neatly and methodically arranged,
and kept. Improvement in the meth
od of keeping the records, probate
records, records of chattel mortgages
greatly simplify the work in these de
partments of the office, and lightens
the laboi of citizens who have occa
sion to examine them.
COUXTT TREASURER.
The county treasurer's office is
properly conducted, nnd the books
neatly and orderly kept.
CORONER.
We visited the coroner's office and
find that he has proper facilities for
conducting the work thereof prop
erly, and a proper place provided for
the purpose of holding inquests when
necessary.
We find the county jail well kept
and clean and comfortable, and
would be a safe place for prisoners by
putting in a new floor, which is badly
needed and which we strongly recom
mend.
We found the city jail of Astoria
clean, well kept, aud empty.
We find the county has no pest
house and the city of Astoria a small
ene: would recommend that the
county co-operate with the city of
Astoria aud build one large enough
to accommodate both.
We visited St. Mary's hospital
where the county infirm are kept and
round only two county charges.
The hospital is very well conducted.
and those who are its inmates are
satisfied with the kind treatment re
ceived from the good sisters in charge.
Such an institution is a credit to the
community where it exists, and its
management for years past, as the re
ports of each grand jury fully attest,
is all that could be desired.
We visited the office of the justice
of the peace for Astoria precinct and
found the oiiice properly conducted,
and the records neatly kept.
Having now finished our labors we
ask to be discharged for the term.

TOLD BY THE TELEGRAPH.
Hartford, Feb. 23. Tho explosion
ot the boiler was not the real cause
of the Park Central Hotel disaster.
The walls fell first and the jar caused
the boiler to blow up. The discovery
is the result of an investigation.
There are planks directly under the
hotel wall, and under them a blue
clay. The mortar had little more
than the consistency of mud. There
was not a barrel of cement in the
whole of it. Even the men who
were hired to put the walls up re
fused finally to work for fear of their
lives. Many bricks are soft and
worthless. The list of dead reaches
twenty-three.
Stanley's whereabouts.
London, Feb. 23. Private advices
from Zanzibar report tne.rumor mat
Henry M. Stanley is expected to ar
rive at that place shortly. The ex
nlanation eiven ot this is that he has
traveled eastward instead of westward,
as was suDDosed he was doing. He
has, therefore, got within a short dis
tance of the east coast.
WHAT THE "TIMES" SAYS.
London, Feb. 23. The Times, je
ferring to Monday's debate In the
Canadian parliament, says; There is
no occasion for the Canadians to be
gin to agitate the profit and loss of
their connection with England. The
real cause of their trouble is certain-.
ly not indifference to Canadian inter
ests on the part of England; it will
be found in the well-known exigencies
ot the presidential election in the
United States. We do not anticipate
what Harrison's cabinet will do but
may fairly hope that tho questions
of immediate interest to Canada will
be reconsidered without prejudice to
the mutual good-will.
hippolyte's scheme.
New York, Feb.23. Minister Pres
ton's detectives say they have un
earthod a scheme whereby General
Hippolyto intends to make President
Legitime's treasury pay tho salaries
of both loyal and insurgent troops
An agent of Hippolyte in New York,
they say, has ordered nearly S4.000,
000 in bank notes of various denom
inations to be tho exact copy of Hay
tiau bank notes, asserting the money
would be made genuine as soon as it
reached Hayti. According to Pres
ton, two large bundles of bills are
now on tho way to Hippolyte by the
steamer Qeorge W. Clyde.
THE CABINET CONUNDRUM.
Indianapolis, Feb. 23. Among
politicians great doubt has been ex
pressed to-day as to whether Wnna
rnaker, Busk, Thomas or even Noble
will be given scats in the cabinet.
The greatest interest seems to be cen
tered in the Pacific slope. Many Re
publicans openly declare that it will
be a breach of good faith if the slope
is ignored, and they refuse to admit
that it will be. But after all there is
nothing but conjecture, for no one
has any positive information on the
subject.
A WEIGHTY OCCASION.
Boston. Feb. 23. Miss Alice E.
Hogaboom, of Vermont, married Al
fred S. Thompson, of New York. Eev.
William Downs performed the cere
mony. Alice is twenty-three years
old and weighs 650 pounds. Albert
is twenty-eight years old and weighs
90 pounds. The bridesmaid, Hannah
Battersby, weighs 840 pounds. Im
mediately behind the bride and groom
were seated nve women, whoso ag
gregate weight was over 3,000.
TO FORM A FRENCH MINISTRY.
Paris, Feb. 23. It is announced
that M de Freycinet will undertake
to form a cabinet in response to pres
ident Carnol's urgent request.
A NAVAL STATION FOR GERMANY.
Tanoieus, Feb. 23. It is rumored
that the sultan of Morocco has gran
ted the request of Germany for a
piece of coast near the Algerian fron
tier for a naval station.
