We received an inyItatIon to-day to be
present at the opening of the ). F. CHroni-

not have been anxious to miss the import
ant city election yesterday.
Or June l4th Messrs. Seufert Bros.
caught the first shad in their wheel near |
Cello, and it weighed three and one-half |
pounds. 1t was as fine one as was ever |
seen in the New York markets and caught |
il the North river. This is very encour-
aging for our U. S. fish commissioners, and |
it is expected in few years shad will be a |
part of our FRIDAYS dinners in this city.
The wife and family OF Capt. Lewis, reg
lister of the U. s. land office, arrived in the |

House while his family were there without |
being aware of the fact When informed in
his Office that his family awaited him at the

America.
Astoria Columbian: A painful and some-
what serious accident yesterday befell Ken
meth Chisholm, logger employed at Trul- |
linger's camp. He was making his way |
through the brush, holding a cross-cut saw |
In one hand and double-bitted axe in the |
other, when his saw caught in the brush, |
throwing him to the ground. In falling his |
knee struck the axe, which cut deep cash, |
extending along the shin to the ankle. The |
unfortunate man was brought to the city
and is receiving careful treatment. 1t will |
probably be three months before he will be |
able to use his injured member.

Last evening, about ii o'clock The Dalles
band proceeded to the residence of Ma yor
Moody and serenaded him on the occasion
of his reelection to the Office. The gentle
man was called for, and he came forward
and responded in few well-chosen re-
marks. He was followed by Messrs. John
Michell and NJ T. Nolan, each of whom
spoke of the Importance of the occasion, and
the grand victo which had been won.
After playing several tunes the band ad-
journed to the residence of Mr.. Judd Fish,
who came out after the first tune was
played, and said he was no speaker; but
they could interview him later. The band |
then wended its way to the residence Of
Recorder Knaggs, who was awakened from
his slumbers, and thanked them for the
manifestation of their esteem. The mar.
shal's residence was then proposed, but Mr..
Gibbons being present the boys gave him
tune where he was. The band turned their
course in the direction Of Mr.. Dufur's resi-.
dence; but by reason of the distance and
lateness of the hour. it was finally deter |
mined to do no more serenading taat night.
