On Sunday three vessels were
towed from Astoria to bar anchorage,
and it was with difficulty that they
were taken ts Bakers bay. They
came from Portland loaded. Where

not be palatable news for the fresh
water advocates of the interior, but it
is nevertheless the fact, and the New

terested in killing the appropriation
needed for the bar improvement; as
well as the liars, slanderers and
blackmailers employed in the
scheme to blacken the name and repu-

fully requested to put this in their
pipes and smoke it.

The Mercury says that Peter
Blagan, fisherman meurned as lost
in the feet of 1880, is returning in a
British vessel. The story runs thus:
she was carried safely over the bar
and blown out to sea, where he was
picked up by a vessel bound for Aus
tralia. On reaching Sydney he de-
ferred communicating with his friends
until a short time since, when a mis-
sive was received at Astoria stating be
was then a sailor On an English ship
bound for Oregon, and his arrival
might be expected in Astoria about
the middle of June. His rescse may
give rise to the hope that others beside
him may have been saved in an equal
ly Prcvidential manner from ustery
grave.

A Novel Divorce Butt.

CHICAGO, September l5.-An extraor-
dinary divorce case began in the SUPERB
or Court to-day. Mrs Elizabeth Falvy
modestly asked divorce from two hus
hands. In 1868 she married Dennis
Falvy at Lynn, Massachusetts,,
but in 1872 he deserted
her. Two years later Edward Hines
told her that Falay:was dead. and per.
suaded her to marry him. Subsequent
" she learned that Falay was not only
living in Quincy, Mass. but was mar.
ried to another woman and had several
children. Mrs. Falay therefore asks to
be released from Falay because OF his
gross violation OF the marriage VOWS, and
from Hines because she could not legal
ly contract marriage when she married
him. The case Is unique in the history
of divorces.

is much fraud and innocent humbug
about these. The notion that some OF
them have wonderful curative powers
seems to me to be but the remains in
the popular mind OF the old superstition
in regare to the fountain of youth,
which the world once thought was to be
found, and In search OF which SO many
sacrificed their lives, while others found
it through the exercise and change of
air necessary to the search. So it is
still, and il one takes the change OF air
and exercises brought on by stage, car
and horse riding mixed up with consid.
erable walking to take taste from all
the mineral springs OF this marvellous
secton-the result will be either kill
or cure.

lady. Suddenly a carriage was pulled
up at the curbing Immediately opposite
the couple, and Mrs Boyd, wife Of Col.
Boyd, jumped out Of it. She produced
a COW hide and began to lash the young
lady who was with Boyd numerically.
The young lady ran, Mrs Boyd
following, but a bystander interfered
after few strokes had been admins
tered. Then Boyd, at the command Of
his wife, meekly entered the carriage
with her and was driven home. Boyd
has charge OF one Of the divisions OF the
Census Department, and several ladies
are employed under him. 1t is said
that he has been very attentive to two
or three OF the ladies', and especially to
one OF them. His attentions TO this one
aroused his wife's jealousy, and she has
been watching the pair. To-day, just
after Boyd met the young lady, his wife
made descent upon them as described.
Whether there is to be any divorce or
damage suits has not been developed.
