Last week flshormen in tho bay took two genuine eastern sea bass, said to bo tho first of their sjicclos captured in these waters. They weighed about 25 pounds each and thoso who partook of them pronounced them unusually good oatlng. Congressman Binger Hermann, who recommended the establishment of a daily mail route Instwcon Dora and Myr- tlo Point, has received notice from tho postmaster general that tho route has boon established. This is ns it should bo, provided tho now route bo run in a way to give this place dally communica tion with Myrtlo Point. Kvansen & Lackstrom havo received their new furnituro and havo leased tho room adjoming tho Coos Bay market, opposite their shop, where the new furnituro is on exhibition and for sale at lower rates than have ever ruled here before. Tho assortment is complete and persons in need of furnituro should, by all means, givo Kvansen A Lack strom a call before purchasing elss where v J. A. EgenhofT returned to Astoria the 1 alter part of last week, to resume bis placo as cnglncor on tho tug Astoria. While he was hero ho took tho machine ry out of tho little steamer Lulu and stored it on shoro, instead of preparing her for business, and sho is now light and froo from danger of sinking. In summer, tho three Astoria tugs alter nate in lying up a month to givo tho employes a vacation, and whilo Julius was hero the Astoria was tied up. Hon. Wm. Hall nnd Major A. G. Brown mado many friends during their legislative terms, nnd their influence has procured tho major the postoflico at this placo, and tho samo influence ought to and probably will socuro tho custom house for Hnll, who is undoubtedly the choico of his party for tho place by a largo majority, but thoso few who run tho ring oppose Hall because he is an upright man, politically and every other way, that thoy cannot run. ! ' aaiai.n During some horso talk on the street last Sunday Lyman Noble .offered to back W. II. Noble's Clamdigger mnre against J. D. Garfiold'a J09 Woodbury for 500 a-sido for a distance of half n milo, on a track to be agreed upon and (ho raco to take, placo. In six weeks, darfleld accepted tho challohgo and tho men agreed to put up a forfeit next day, but whether thoy did or pot wo don't know. When the batitor was mado and accepted both men wero a little hot in tho colar, nnd tho chances nra that when they coolod down they forgot all ubout it and the raco will not be run. Etnil Erlckson came near being killed nt tho .Empire mill last Saturday by tho carelessness of a follow workmnn knocking the prop from beneath a log whilo Erickson had his head under It and was engagod in adjusting tho chain by which tho logs are ljold to: bo rollod ovor, As Erickson saw and felt tho log coming upon his bond, ho vicorously sounded tho n)urm and hs companion possessed sufllcloni prosonco of mind to throw IiIb maul under tho log arjd. thus prevent it docending upon and in stantly crushing Erlckson'a skull.

Henry Smith ot South Coos river is going (0 Eugeno City to attend tho state university there this fall and wlptcr. Don't fall to scu that varied assort ment of shoulder braces just received at tho Blanco Drag Store. Among tho freight carried away by tho Coos Bay this last trip were 40,000 feet of Jumbor, 05 cords of fire nnd match-wood and 229 sacks of shlttiin bark, Monday morning ttie Myrtlo went to tho Isthmus loaded witli passengers and froight for tho fair at Hall's prairio, which is well attended by residents of this placo and vicinity. Tho danco given last Saturday night by tho brass band, was n success in ovcry particular. An unusually largo crowd was in attendance, Including a delegation from Empiro and tho brass band ot that place. Mrs. Palmer of Scottsburg arrived on tho bay last week, on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. Capt. Hill of North Bend. Mrs. Hill left by the last Arago, on a visit to San Francisco, and yester day Mrs. Palmer returned to Scottsburg. Noxt Saturday tho O. A. "Winchester property in this placo, tho houso and lot adjoining Dr. Tower's resldenco, will bo sold at administrator's salo at tho court house door at Empiro. It is desirable property and will no doubt bring a fair price. Tho tug Fearless, Capt. Hill, left the bay on the 20th ult., for San Francisco, to receive new boilers and undorgo an overhauling and such repairs and im provements as sho may need, which will probably detain her at that place for five or six weeks. A letter from Mrs. Chris. Thornquist of East Oakland, Cal., brings the un welcome news to her relatives and friends here that Albert Kourikoskc, her cousin and also a cousin of tho late Charley Forslund, was recently killed in southern California by being run over by the railway cars. Kourikoske was a young man, on his wny from tho old country to visit relatives and friends on this coast. Just as we go to press tho rumor comes that Jim Aiken's Sammy Tilden won tho stallion raco at tho fair. There wero three entries, but of what horses we could not learn. The distance run was one milo, and it is said Sammy was fitly feet or mora behind the leading borso when tho quarter polo was reached, bat camo ogt. on the finish ahead by several lengths. Hudcn & Young aro the agents for tho celebrated Oregon Grapo Root Bit tors and FredercksburgBecr,and a large supply of both was received by them on tho last steamer. Last Friday afternoon C. H. Merchant met with a severe accident at Dean & Co's mill No. 2, at Aaronville. Ho was standing near where a man named Jas. Mcintosh was using a maul in driving stakes or something ot that kind, when tho maul, weighing SO or 40 pounds, flow from tho handle and struck him on tho left temple, knockiug him insensible for a timo. Ho was picked up cared for and mado as comfortable as possible at tho mill until the Myrtlo reached thcro on hor way to tills place, when ho was brought down, in a dazed condition, conveyed to bis residence and Dr. Towor called to attend him. The doctor found Mr. Merchant suffering from u slight concussion of tho brain, but no fracture of the skull. Next day ho was better, nnd by Monday ho was able to sit up sorao. Ho 'is now steadily improving and after a few days of rest he will be ablo to again attend to business. Of late the dense fogs prevailing at tho bar havo been very annoyint; and troublesomo to tho steamer captains, to say nothing of tho delay caused to schooners. This last trip of the Areata 6ho was detained outside 33 hours, a waiting A opportunity' to come in. Tho last trip but one of tlie Aiago, sho was also detained about as long before sho could como in. Capt. Holt's des cription of tho fog on that occasion veri fies the oft-repeated assertion that it somotimes gets so thick that it can bo chopped up In chunks. While feeling around with his vessel and waiting and watching for a chance to slip in when over tho fog might lift for a few minutes, tho captain Bays his steamer left astern a perfect arched tunnel in the fog that could bo seon for a distanco of n half mile or more. Holt says ho has often heard of fog bo thick that it could bo cm), biit that that wasMns first experienco in cutting it. The removal of Thos. Hirst from the postorHco jn this placo cannot bo justly based on "offensive partisanship," for he lias taken 'about as small n part in pol itic m ay map could be expected to take yrhb has any' politics at all ; nnd as to discharging the duties ot tho office satisfactorily, we havo never hoard a word of complaint against Hirst. But wo aro not finding any fault with the change nor the new appointee "Wo simply want tho matter to go upon re cord right. Hirst is a good man, ay ho voton the republican ticket. Brown Is a good man, who votes the democratic tickot. Tho difference In tho tickets thoy voto is tho difference In tho men, and the only credit this reform adminis tration is ontitlod to for making tho chango is that of reformlug a republican out and reforming a democrat in. Wo have a curiosity to behold the color ot tho hair on the republican scalp that Cleveland does not jltt andcarrj' in his belt belf htfkrin' wptVe. At tho sheriff salo last Saturday at Empiro tlie Gohcon property was bought In by Fred Jarvis for $850. Wild ducks are already making their appcaranco on the, bay and its tributa ries but aro too wild to hunt success fully.

She will resume her regular route n a day or two. The Knights' of Pythias will give a ball at this place on Saturday oveninc, September 20, it being the ninth anni rersary of Myrtle Lodgo No 3. Wo are informed that tho Kights intend making this tho affair ot tho season, and prepar ations are being mado for a large crowd. A rod and gun club was organized in town last Saturday night under the name of tho Coos Bay Rod & Gun club. Dr. C. W. Tower was elected president, Major Tower vice president, Dr. C. B. Golden treasurer, nnd Chas. B. Stokes secretary. The object of tho club Is the enforcement of tho gamo laws, and the punishment of thoso who violate them, and other measures calculated to ad van co such objects as usually come with in tho purview of a rod and gun club. Al ready 41 names appear on tho roll of membership. A man .named Victor Anderson had the misfortune to have his leg broken by falling through a bridgo on the trail between hero and Empre. The trail 'b an abandoned county road, and its many bridges aro unBafe, and it is sur prising that some ono has not been hurt before. Anderson was brought to this place Monday, and taken charge of by Dr. McCormac. Anderson is a sailor and a new-comer on tho bay,and of late has been employed in tlie saw mill at Empiro. Tuesday evening Capt. II. W. Dun ham tumbled from an embankment nbout 15 feet high near ids bouse. Dun ham lias been making an excavation in tho hill back of his dwelling, and using tho earth to fill up a bulk-head near the street. Tho work bos been progressing finely and had risen to a bight of about 15 feet, when yesterday afternoon dur ing a heavy fog, Dunham, wheel-barrow and all went over tho embankment. The wheel-barrow was uninjured, and Dun ham escaped with a few slight bruises which will disable him for a day or two only. Wc hope soon to hear his melo dious whistlo about town. Tho following is the panel of jurors drawn for the September term of cir cuit court, to convene at Empire on the 21st inst. : G F Blood, Jaa L Ferrey, Robt Rooke, W F Elrod, Chas Johnson, S D Butler, Aaron Cory, Chas Ililborn, and J D Bonebrrke, of'Marshfield; J H Hunt, Noah Lencve, J T Moulton, C Andrews, John Donalson nnd P E Draine, of Coqulllc City ; J C Brown, C E G Deitz, Daniel Giles and W L Dixon, of Myrtle Point; W M Foster and S B Sherwood, of Sumner; Edward Fahy jr, Randolph ; Matt Stora, Wm McKnight and A M Collver, Coos river; S B Franklin, Fisbtrap; H H Brownson, Angora; J J Clinkinbeard, Daniels Creek Henry J Schroeder, Hall's brai no ; J W Clinton, Noaway, and S Dan ielson, of Parkersburg. The shittlm bark industry is one that has grown to somo prominonce in this section and every steamer takes out a considerable amount of bark. It is found in larger quantities hero than any otlier place in tho world, and its medi cinal properties have made it a valuable bark, and under its Latin name ot ecu cara ugrada it enters largely into the composition of medicines. Every in dustry developes its king, and John Dully is without doubt the shittim king of this county. Dully during tho past year shipped over six thousand five hundred dollars worth of this bark, and thus gave employment to many men who otherwise would have remained idle. There aro numerous resources ly ing undeveloped in this country which can bo mado as successful aa this shit tim bark business, and which only wunt some live, energetic man to push them. Fine selection of Jewelry and fancy goods just received at Sengstackens Drug Store. Major A. G. Brown baa received no tice, of his appointment as postmaster at this place, to succeed Thos. Hirst. The major is a fino old southorn gontleman, who has secured the position without the active indorsement of the ring-leaders of his party, and, as among the democrats, no one could have been choson for tho placo who would have suited us better than tho major, who will dischargo tho duties of tho office honestly, Impartially and to tho best of bis ability, which is unquestioned, Major Brown is an old settlor on tho coast, having reached California about 30 years ago, and be is well and favor ably known there, as woll ns in this stato and Idaho territory, and his host of frleuda, irrespective of party, will be pleased to bear that ho holds a commis sion containing Cleveland's autograph. In the palmy days of mining in Cali fornia tlie major operated at Inskip, Butte county. Afterwards ho went to Idaho Qity, I. T., whero he was the first recorder and auditor of the county, Later ho was recorder and auditor ot Alturas county, tho batno torritory, af ter which ho camo to southern Oregon, where bo baa been repeatedly honored with responsible positions in Douglas and Coos counties. The major took up his resldenco hero in 1874, It is proba bio that bo will entor upon bis duties as postmajjter At tUe beginning ot the new , q'uirfor Ikb 1st ol uwxt mouth. Allen Arrington returned this wcok from an extended trip lo tho head wat ers of Coos river whither he had retreat ed for tho benefit of his health. He looks much better than when ho went up, and wo hope he will soon bo robust again. Charley Stokes does tho biz. at Nor ton's storo during N's absence to the fair, Bob Hutchcson jr. officiates at Sny dors, nnd Cox's stand is presided over by Lloyd, who docs the tonsorial in place of his senior. Rumor says Clark Miller of Coquillo City has fallen heir to $20,000. If this is true Miller has our congratulations up on his good lock, nud if it is false he can havo tho uso ot our column's to burn up tho man who's trying to Injure his credit by such reports. Many of our business men, including Norton, tliO) Variety man, Snydor and BtJckley the hotel men, Cox tho barber, and others, havo stands at the Coquillc fair, whither witlrthcir wares they this week repaired to beard the verdant Co quiller on his native heath and buckle on to tho nimblo six-pence as it issues from its lair thirsting for ice-cream, soda-water, ct cetera. Tho Union club lately organized hero, Is now in a flourishing condition. They last week added a billiard tabic to their other attractions, and the club room is a pleasant, quiet place in which mem bers can whilo away an idle hour in n social gamo of chess, billiards or cards. The membership is rapidly increasing. The report that this club was organized to keep married men away from homo at night and for the manufacture ot fam ily jars, is without foundation. Tho steamers Arago and Coos J3ay left Empire about the same timo on the 23d ult. and arrived at San Francisco on the morning of the 25th tho Arago about an hour ahead. They left San Francisco on their return at about the same time, Thursday and would have reached hero close together had not the Coos Bay stopped at Port Orford. TJhe Arago arrived Saturday and tho Coos Bay on Sunday. J. E. Hagenbuch of tho Blanco Drug Store has received the agency of the famous "Tausill's Punch" Havana filled 5 cent cigar; this cigar, though never. sold on Coos bay before is meet ing with a tremendous success. This is no blow nor bluster as our essay writer has it, but strictly solid facts. Givo them a trial and convince yourselL For the genuine Henry Clay nnd Punch Cigars go to Sengstackens Drug Storo. t A. G. Brown has been appointed postmaster in placo of Thos. Hirst, re moved. To Thomas: Dear sir, we write to let you know, Pursuant to our grand design. We have at length determined to Give you permission to resign Your present office in the state One hour and one-half from this date; Not that you eer cheated, lied, Or, at any rate, did many uiclced things beside, But on a late occasion you hae voted so As none but n corrupt and vicious roan could do. .

A man named Walker started from Luse's ranch on Coos river to town with a boat load of apples the otlier day, and on reaching the .mouth of tho river found tho, fog so thick that he couldn't cut his way backward or forward and ?o bung up for tho night on the mudiTat. Ho arrived in town nbout six o'c'ock the next morning. This is but ono of the many capers of tho fog, which ono man who lost his way on account there of says was so thick tnat it v as as buoyant ns water, and that instead of having bean stuck on the mud as ho supposed, he had but run up on a fog bank when the tido went out and left him. When tho sun camo out hot it limbered up the fog some,, and his boat dropped down into the water, which' was his first intimation of tho stato of affairs. It is something not generally known that Coos bay furnishes nearly all the wood from which tho whole Pacific Coast is supplied with matches. We annually ship thousands ot cords of match wood to San Francisco, some of which returns to us in tho shape of matches, and tho balance supplies the demand ot tho entire coast. There nro but three largo match factories on the coast and nil these got their supply of wood principally from us. This country can supply match wood enough to furn ish tho wholo world matches until somo inventor strikes u better light, and then ten chances out ot eleven but what wo can find something hero that will sup ply that too. Tho resources of this sec tion are inoxhaustiblo. Wo have vast forests of dead timber that make tho finest quality of mutch wood, and It somo onterprislng male match-maker would start a factory hero wo would not be surprised to hear ot tlie discovery of some unpoterablo bed of sulplier and all other Ingredients necessary tor tho successful operation of tlie match-making business on a largo scalo.

Tho published programme was carried out and good work was accom plished generally. A detailed report of tho proceedings of tho teachers institute will appear next week. Tho report contains tho subjects discussed during the conven tions, and will furnish some valuable hints to teachers who wero unable to at tend. Jos. Bowen. tho oldest Master Mason in tho United States, died at Philadel phia n few days aco need 94 vears. Ho was installed CO years ago. There was a whole sermrjn on nracti- cal morality in the toply of a Now York policeman to an English spectator of tho Grant funeral procession : "Crowds are better behaved in this country than in mine," said tho Englishman. "They'er better fed," said tho officer. Tho expulsion of Poles from Austria has commenced, There is no discrimina tion made. All classes are served alike. Tho rich have to go as well as tho jioor. The Poles are very indignant, but the orders nro imperative, and all will ho expelled from tlie country. A few have expressed a determination to como to tho united States. Wm. McCormick, now at the Colum bia cascades, has perfected tho working model of a tug boat that he claims will navigate tho Bwiftest waters and render unneccbsary the construction of locks at the cascades, over which ho claims ho can pass 4Q boats up and 40 boats down every 54 hours. McCormick, liko near ly an other inventors, is poor and with out even tho means to charter a steamer to givo a practical test of the merits of his now tug boat. He estimates that $75,000 would put his scbomo In success ful operation. From a private letter from Eureka. Cal., the editor of tho Gold Beach Gu. zotte obtains the1 following: "This Is tho hardest year over known In Humboldt county by tho 'oldest inhabitant Tbero are hundreds of men hero that cannot get work, and many of them have fam ilies to support. Men aro working in tho woods for from $15 to 30 per mouth, and somo aro working for their board. All tho old loggers that could loft bora when wages went down.
