Mrs Duniway, who has acquired a
national reputation as a clear and log
ical writer, an entertaining and forcible
speaker, and an able advocate for
"wOman's rights" delivered a lecture
last evening at the Centennial Hall
on Human Rights" She is lady of
thorough culture, which, united with
natural qualifications, renders her an
agreeable speaker. She held the at
tention of her hearers as if spell-bound
throughout the entire discourse. Her
manner is free and graceful, her voice
clear, and her euunciation distinct.
Her subject was treated in that calm,
logical manner, and in a style both ele-
CANT and forcible, which at once makes
deep and lasting impression on the
minds of her audience. Mrs. Duniway
will lecture again tonight, and we
advise our citizens by all means to go
aud hear her. 1t will be a rich treat.

BAY VIEW HOUSE,
Bakers Bay. Unity, W.

MR. DEXTER INFORMS THE PUBLIC
Nl that his House is now open for the recep-
tion of guests It's advantages in every respect
over any other Summer Resort are too well
known 10 Oregonians TO repeat here. To
strangers will say that the place is in plain
sight and across the Bay from Astoria, on the
sheltered side of Cape Hancock, and very near
and adjacent to the Fort and Lighthouse on
Bakers Bay, a beautiful sheet of water, un-
equaled for Sailing, Rowing, Fishing, and
Bathing. The dark Forest with its picturesque
drives its mountain springs, profusion of wild
berries, wild flowers and ferns, the horse trail
to the Cape for equestrians or walkers, is one of
the most delightful Panoramas the eye ever
witnessed The coZy beaches, its caves, luXu-
riantly wooded islands, its views of Astoria,
Chinook, Fort Stevens, moist old Tillamook,
in the distance.
The courteous hospitality of the officers of
the Garrison at the Fort, and also of Mr.. Mum
son and family, of the Lighthouse, make that
place well worthy of Visit.
The Salt Wafer Bathing in the Bay, within
a few feet of the Hotel, eXcels anything far or
near for warmth of the water and mildness of
its waves, and is far preferable to the heavy
surf and cold winds tor women, children, and
invalids, while the strong swimmer, or those
who love the fOaming surf, in few minutes
walk will find beach unsurpassed in beauty,
hard and level, for one continuous drive of
thirty miles. At this end are huge rocks
stretching out into the ocean, from which fish
ers take from the sea Bass, Rockhsh, Tom Cod
Porgies, ETC., etc. Crabs, CLAIMS, oysters, ETC.,
are in abundance, (and the Table viii never never

larger; but his grounds are large enough and
beautiful enough to warrant next season HO-

The AMERICAN NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY is an
epitome of newspaper history. 1t is also re-
garded as an official register of cIrculations.
This feature requires the closest scrutiny to
prevent it from leading to abuses. The plan
adopted by the publishers of the DIRECTORY to
secure correct and trustworthy reports is rigid
in its requirements, and is adhered to with
impartiality. Successful publishers, who have
something to gain by comparison, are gener-
ally prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity, but give Messrs. Geo. P. RowelI & Co.
such information as enables them to weed out
unsubstantiated statements of pretenders in
journalism. The popularity Of the book, and
the general confidence in its accuracy and good
faith, are attested by the immense body of ad-
vertisements it receives. 426
