Yesterday, Augustine Bernadisco was
brought before Justice Whitman on a charge
of grand larceny preferred by NJ. Frank
Orselli, who stated to the court that during
Salstelubo. of last year the prisoner worked
for him in his store on Main street, in this
city. Previously to missing any money,
Mr.. Orseli stated that sundry small articles
were wont from time 10 time 20 vanish Ill Il
manner to say the least, mysterious One
evening. short time before the prisoner
Was discharged from his employ. and Just
before closing the store, Mr.. orseliI, having
occasion to visit his warehouse, III the rear
of the building, requested the defendent to
remain in the store uutil his return. At
the time the proceeds OF the past week 5
sales were living IN an open basket behind
the counter. Mr., 0rseiii intending 10 take
the money home Oh that evening. As near
rs he can recollect there We're 500 IL the
bottom Of the basket ia silver, on which
was laid TIN box containing about $500 IN
gold c,.in and icgal tenders; III all about
Il ,CG3. Not SuspectIng anything wrong,
he immediately on his return took the baS-
ket, and placing it in his buggy, closed the
store and drove home. 1T was not until the
following morning that the TIN box was
missed from the basket. Search Was in
stantIv instituted, but failed to reveal the
lost treasure. Among other things missing
from the house were Mr.. 0rseili's nieer-
scaaum pipe. two rovoiyvEs. and a lot OF
t.inkuts belonging 10 h;s children. No clue
could be found of the gEilty PARTY until q
short tine ago, when Mr.. 0rsalI happened
to hear that Bernar,lizco had loaned a far
Incr several hundred dollars, and, also, that
persons visiting E.s cabin on b:y creek had
nyliccd several valuable articles laying
around. Procuring 4 search warrant he pro-
cccicd to tie defendants quarters, where
upon overhauling his effects 4 curious mix
ture Of almost every immaginabla article
was fouui. Among the leS were the pipe,
revoiyers and many other things belonging
to OrselE. as well us some of the receipts
that were in the tin box at the time it was
taken. Ga his person Were found three sil-
Yer watches and chains ScWcd INTO TIE I'M
ing OF his vest. The officer quickly placed
him under arrest and brought him ard the
plnnder to town. At the examination, yes
terday. he made an Intellectual attempt to
bluff Mr., Orselii. but when that gentleman
turned the tables and asked Augustina 10
state how he had obtained The articles, his
memory was soTsiy tried, pe:aisting, how
ever, in asserting that most OF them had
been purchased in California. He acknowl-
edged the larceny Of the plaintiff S chain.
Evidence being so strong against hlm, JUS
tice Whitman bound him over in the sGlm Of

jury As it is not probable that he can find
hondsmen, he viii remain a guest OF the

learn there will be hot times Just as soon as the
horses Of the Indians get fat. We had several
Of Moses Indians up here this season trading
for buffalo robes, rifles and Z" fixed amnluni
ton. They got 4 great many guns from the
koOtenayS, but not much ammunition. They
told me theycoUiJ get AL the ammunition they
wanted from the whites who wanted them To
fight, and keep Up stealing horses. The kcot-
enays got no buffalo this fall, and are, there
fore, short of food. The kootenays never re
ceived any help from the government, tonly
one plough, which cost twice its va.UeI and are
entirely self-sustainins, having farms on a
small scale, owning also large bands Of cattle
As long as there are two laws-one for hItes

The miners have done fair this season, but no

The W2rmest summer ever experienced here

the following:
Mr. N. C. Moore, OF Walla Walla, is a
guest at the Occident He is accompan-
led with his family We are considerably
oratified to hear from him that he Is well
IIeascd with the s.WalIa Walla expert
ment." as some OF our contemporaries class
the enterprise of shipping wheat to Astoria
from Walla Walla, which Air. Nj. has now
so successfully inaugerated. We learn IN
cidentaIly, that the Oregon Steam NayI-
cation company are also well pleased with
the ex,,eriment. Reverting TO the tramp
which we took last spring through the ex-
tensiye region Of country surrounding
WalIa Walla and beyond, where the acres
upturned for the first time about there,
have so bountifully responded to the labor
OF the people, we may say that We are also
well pleased with the experiment 1t Is
but the follower Of that other experiment.
inaugerated at Walla Walla, by DIR. D. B.
Baker. when he built that narrow guase
railway from Wallula, which was the open.
ING wedge that has started the avenues OF
commerce IN that direction ON a broad
scale. The Oregon Steam Navigation coni.
paDy were also well pleased with that ex-
neriment-and have purchased 1t as one
Of their principal feeders. 1hey nave
doubled the carrying capacity OF their
fine deet Of steamers, and Will have to do
so aoain and again, no matter if the North.
ern Pacific should build their railroad over
the Cascade mountains 10 the SOUND. we
hone to see such work done the demands
of the country require it, and II i've rail-
WAYS were built there where one Is neea'
ed now, the development Of The country
tributary to them would sustain them all,
and not the least prejudice the CONNER
,ial interests OF Astoria, and the Colum-
hi, river These experiments OF men like
DR. Baker and Mr. Moore are Just what
oDens the eyes OF the people TO a full real,
;zati0n OF the facts Much has been sald
,bout charters OF vessels, the Salem, Ore,
oon CITY. and Portland papers have all adj
mitted that where the charter from Asto-
ria TO Europe Is the same as IRON San
Francisco 10 Europe, wheat must be par
at Astoria with wheat at San Francisco.
That point has also been settled by Mr
Moore and he is NOW loading 4 vessel at
Astoria for Europe, which has been char.
tered at less rate than vessels chartered
the same day IN San Francisco This
means from 10 to l2I cents a Genital more
70 the producers for their wheat than un.
der the old regime, which vas wholly IN
the interest OF SPECTATORS We hope
that our friends in the Waliamet valley,
and in the regioa OF county tributary to
the Columbia river, will bear the lessons
of the YEA, 1878 IN mind forever. We
hone that citizens of Astoria viii come to
the front and show their appreciation OF
the efforts Of Dir. Moore and all assocla-
ted with him, and make their stay pleasant
when in Astoria, in short, make hmm and
them feel ''at home" among Astcrians.
