Though the comet is moving away at the rate of 20,000 miles a second, it i still visible in the gray of dawn. The Salem Statesman denies tho charge that it was paid $500 to oppose the election of John H. Mitchell. That is all ancient history now. A collision in San Francisco bay, last Wednesday, between the British ship Benmore and tho American ship Florida, damagod the latter vessel $5,000.

Captain Wm. Mace, one of the old-timers on the Columbia, and well known among river men in early days, died recently while nn his way to Panama. Tho regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the British Columbia Packing company will be hold at the Occident Hotel at two o'clock this afternoon. The Priscilla came down yester day; the echooner Sparrow went up; the Columbia is due this morning; tho Eskdalo and Pendragon will probably sail to-day. In the supreme court last Tuesday in the case of Ann B.

A real estate agent advertises in Dakota newspaper: can be found at the Gold Mine playing at Mitchell's Exchange, betting on the age of 'old hosses' with Brown, or at my residence on Oak street, perusing tho Scriptures." The taxable wealth of Portland has bean increased by improvements during the year about two million dollars, and by extension of city boundaries four million dollars.

TJie waj'a and means committee estimates that taxes will be reduced this year from ten mills to eight mills. A New Tacoma gale, last Wednesday, broke the hawsers of the Carrolton and Glendon, sent the El Dorado half a mile high and dry on the flats, broke the boom of the Tacoma mill, drovo the Oriental ashore, and smashed things generally. Damages, 25,000. Nice place. Tho tariff bill has been reported to the house from tho ways and meant committee, and comes up for immediate consideration.

The duty on tin plate is reduced: Pennsylvania aud West Virginia tin-plate manufacturers ask that tho present duty be retained. Uner date of tho 15th Capt. S. C. Mitchell writes us from South Bend that in consequence of the extremely incloment weather, he has been delayed in the finishing up of hiB Teasel, far beyond his anticipation; "but at last we have very nearly mastered the undertaking.

And if the weather is favorable we shall be ready to launch on or about the 23d of this month. I have every reason to anticipate a successful launching. The new schooner's mme is Sailor Bov. During tho recent trials of the parties charged with kidnapping, there were 110 men summoned before tho court to appear as iurora. Out of this number, ia answer to ques tions put them by counsel, 105 said that they read The Astoria, and three had it read to them.

Hero we have 108 out of 310 that read their homo paper, a state of affairs satisfactory to us atid highly creditable to our patrons. Tho inference is that 93.18 per cent, of Astoria's population read The Astoxiax. During the month of December, 38 vessels, bound to or from ports in the United States, mot with misfortune. Of this number 30 wero wrecked, 4 abandoned, 1 sunk by collision, 1 foundered and 2 wero burutd. One of the vessels in the list was the Fiona, wrecked in sight of destiaa-tion with a cargo of California wheat.

Another was tho Lennox, laden with coal, and burned sihilo on the way from Dundee to San Francisco. A third was the schooner Golden Rule, owned at San Francisco, and wrecked on the northern coast. The losses for the year wero 307, including 26 steam era, 28 ahipi, 108 barks, 33 briga and 12 schooners, The Bain Caso. I The trial of John Bain, indicted for murder in the firat degree was be- for the- circuit court yesterday, and attracted extraordinary attention. Our leaders aro already familiar with the main points in tho matter.

On tho 12th of last April Alexander Lowrio Alexander, a teamster employed by Wm. Jnplin, drovo up to 0. H. Bain's mill with some machinery en tho truck; that while unloading it aorno words were paseed between deceased and defendant, resulting in personal collision, the final result be ing that defendant threw a hand ax at deceased, severing tha tendons and entering the flesh of the abdomen. Alexander was removed to the hospital where he died April 22.

At the coroner' inquest tho verdict was that he came to his death at the hands of the defendant: and the next grand jury, found a bill against him. Tho trial began on the 21st of last August, and lasted four days, the jury disagreeing, the laat ballot stood six for conviction of manslaughter and air for itcquittal. Bonds were furnished for defendant's appearance at this term of court, and last Wednesday his second trial began. The following witnesses wero examined yesterday merning: J. H.

Johnson, C. H. Bain, the father of the accused, Geo. Johnson, J.is. Johnson, Jay Tuttle, and A.

C. Kinney: at the conclusion of tho lattor'a testimony court took a reces3 to allow the jury to examine the prisoners. Upon reassembling at three o'clock the trial went on; the testimony is substantially tho same as given at first trial, and reported in full in Tub Astoeian at tho time. Following is tho jury: Perry Titus, T. B.

Morrison, L. H. Parsons, John L. Stone, Thos. Dcaley, John O'Brien, R.

D. Sales, Andrew Van Dusen, G. W. Raymond, Ira Coe, Jas. McCarty.

Tho defendants counsel are C. W. Fulton and J. Q. A.

Bowiby. E. J. Hart, who arrived yesterday afternoon on the Fleetwood, -went on the witness stand at half past three, and after his testimony was concluded the defendant made his statement. Dr.

and blew keenly all day: Ores and overcoats were in demand, and much grumbling was heard among bachelors, both youug and old. Tho thermometer was 24 degrees above rero at five o'clock, with evcry-protnise of a cold night. At points up the river the low temperature suggests a freeze-up all along tho line. At Portland it was 17 degrees above zero yesterday morning. F.

Tho large pipo will be run along Wall to Main street, and down 3Xain to the Parker House; lateral branches will be run along Chenatnu, Squemoqua, and other Btreets. I How Ho was Caught. Kay, a rascally warrant clerk the county clerk's office of Alameda whose bogus county warranta, to the extent of kept him in pin money to meet tho incidentals of his fast life for tho past year, was captured Saturday evening, at rom 45, Chester House, San Francisco, and something over $1 ,300 recovered. Ho had laid in a good stock of canned provisions, with a view to maintaining a strictly quiet and private sort of life for a few weeks, until the excite-mentof his offense should so farsuhtide as to enable him to slip away on some outsroinz vessel. His manner of sr- rest was rather neat piece oi ae-j teetive work.

It was known that a very friendly relationship existed between him and a Misa Julia Bader, who resided en Valencia street. Accordingly Julia was 'shadowed" for several days. On Saturday evening she went down town, and after visiting several stores, and rig-zagging around several blocks, she srrived in front cf the Chester House, and doged in at the private entrance. The houso was soon surrounded by the minions of the law, and Kay's gamo was up. As the honey bee laden, with stolen sweets, leads its captor to his precious stores, so did the sweet Julia unwittingly give her enptiva calier araT.

Hadn't Lost Faith. In days gone by 'tis told that a Philadelphia Quaker, who was also a large ship owner, suddenly dropped all his iusurance on his vessels, and when be-set by the agents to explain his singular conduct he said: "I have come to the conclusion to depend upon the Lord for tho safety of my ships." No argument or explanation could move him from his purpose, and things went along for fivo or six months without a loss. Then one ship was destroyed by fire, and another was driven ashore, and close upon the heels of these disasters came the destruction of a valuable cargo, It was then that tho old man sent for an agent and said. "Friend Thompson, tho 'Rover' is about to sail for Liverpool." "Yes." "And theo may mako out a policy for $50,000 on her." "res." "And then thee may also make ready to insure her cargo." "Just so." "I do not desiro thec to under stand." continued tho old man, "that I have lost faith in the Lord, but it is moro to save him the bother of keep ing track of my sailing property." 'BO LIKEWISE." Dr. R.

V. Pikkce, Buffalo, K. "Five years ago 1 was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles, Having exhausted the skill of three physicians, 1 was completely discouraged, and eo weak I could with difficulty cross the room alone. I began taking your 'Favorite Prescription' and using the local treatment recommended in your 'Common Sense Medical Adviser." In three menths I waa perfectly cured. I wrote a letter to my family paper, briefly mentioning how my health had been restored, and offering to send the fall particulars to any one writing me for them and inclosing a stamped envelope for reply.

I have received over four hundred letters. In reply, I have described my caso and the treatment used, and earnestly ad vised them to 'do From a great many I have received second letters of thanks stating that they had commenced the treatment and were much better already."
