WEAVERVIILE TRINITY COUNTY, CAL. SATURDAY MORNING

Notwithstanding the many Inconvenience the
! rOnchmen suffered they were determined to and
probably did make the best of untoward circum-
stances. Morton, especially, had never-failng
panacea for every veXaton, and no matter wheth
er n pot Of beans upset over the fire when half
cooked or the Indians had stolen the last sack of
-four, and that too when -four was one dollar or
one dollar and quarter a pound, or had set fire
to a new made fence and burnt it to the ground !;
or the grizzlies had carried Off the proceeds of
the last days hunting nothing like taking it
easy, boys was always his reply After all he
was the only man | ever knew who practced
what he preached Even the intelligence of the
death of his wife in the Atlantic States was not
sufficient to rullle the evcnness of his tcmpcr or
to disconccrt a disposition proof against all ca
l0mitics. When the news was mentioned to him
by White, his hrotherin-law who had lust rcceiv-
ed 1t pia packer, he was intensely interested in
game Of bean poker with the boys In the cabin.
On hearing it he merely remarked, that Chris.
tan resignation was n duty under all circumstan-
ccs and continue the game until he had played
out his hand, which was not until two or three
o'clock in the morning Perhaps he loved the
cards better than he did his wife, but there are
thousands who would be happier and better did
they possess Il larger portion of spirit which
could not be depressed by advcrsty nor elevated
by prospective

We left the North to avoid

We left the North to avoid the
cold aud severe which you have in that section,
but circumstances have brought us into a local-
ty quite as bad. When we left Canon Creek it
was our intention to make Mud Springs our win
ter quarters but on our arrival there we found
that great changes had taken place since '54.-
The ground has been worked and re-worked, and
in some places they are working tailings' for
the .fouH time. The large ditch companies have
bought up and monopolized everything in the
shape of a race, and have advanced their prices
for water enormously. On Sugar Loaf hill and
Dytown fat the miners were paying one dollar
and fifty cents per inch for water and about Dia-
mond and Mud Springs fifty cents per inch or
twenty dollars per week for one sluice- head
There seems to be general complaint and the
hard working miners generally look any thing but
cheerful. The difference between the mines in
this section and those in Trinity County would
be readily remarked by persons coming directly
from the latter place as we have done.
There are several Quartz mills in operation in
the vicinity of Logtown, Sugar Loaf and Nash
VILE principally owned and conducted by
city SPECTATORS, among whom l noticed Capt
Patterson, Of steamer Golden Gate barrel notori-
yet. Some Of the lodes prospect fair, but even
quartz spcculations are looked upon with suspi-
cion in this section
In the vicinity of Diamond Springs there arc
some rich hill claims The placer mines are
about worked out.
Aswc have worked too long in the mines to
commence at this late day to support the stiff
dickied ditch monopoies we concluded to push
little farther into the hills.
The mines in this section are comparatively
new for the reason that water has always been
scarce until the past year. We find plenty of
claims for sale, averaging from $40 to $4,000
each, but as the snow is quite deep we cannot
prospect to much advantage. Money is scarce
and the miners are anxously waiting for rain.

GRTGORY'S
VEGETABLE BRANDY BITTERS !!

A VAST AMOUNT OF NAUSEATING AND
AnoXiouS compounds having been thrust into the
market under the name of 4" Bittcrs,' il becomes
the duty of the Proprictors and Agents for the
sale of the celebrated
Gregory's Vegetable Brandy Bitters,
to expose the fact, and absove themselves from
giving tacit assent to any merit claimed to he
possessed by those Injurious compounds The
special qualities of GREGORY'S BlTTERS are
to rcnovatc and invgorate the body, promoting
activity in the digestive organs, and consequent
ly eradicating dyspepsia and other similar com
plants incident to sedentary life. To all trav-
eers, either by land or sea, to miners and others
whose occupation calls for severe muscular action
these Bittcrs will be found of invaluable service.
The high standing of DIR GREGORY, the dscov-
erer, was the first guarantee ofts superior excel
lence, its own uncQuallrd merits has since cstab-
lishcd for ii a worldwide celebrity DR.. Gregory
has for years been at the head of the Medical
Faculty in London, and twice President of the
London College of Physicians and Surgeons
These Bitters are composed of carefully select
ed roots of fine tonic character and the choicest
brands Of French Brandics, making them an
agreeable and palatahle stimulent, as we'll as a
healthful appctisor. So generally are their mcr-
its admitted that they are always to be found in
every respectable Saloon Hotel, and amongst the
stores of every steamer or packet ship.

TAKEN IN AND DONE FORA Treasurer of an
interior county came to Sacramento last week,
for the purpose of paying into the State Treasury
eighteen thousand dollars, being the State taxes
collectedin his county. An enterprising scrip
operator, residing not a stones throw from our
Office got scent of the Treasurer--found and in
formed him that he could pay one-thrd of the
amount (S6,0O0) in Controllers warrants, and at
the same time volunteered for consideration to
assist him in making his settlement,
Just the man / have been looking for says
County Treasurer, purchase $4,000 worth of
warrants and we will go halves in the profits
The delighted scrip broker sailed out, bought
the scrip and hastened to meet the Treasurer,
when the following dialogue occurred:
SCRlPPY-' It's all right here are the warrants,
at the same time exhibiting the six thousand dol
lars worth Of Calfornas promises to pay.
COrNTy TREAsURER.-lt's all right is ii
SCRIPPY--' All right again repeats Scrippy,
with a smile that extended from ear to ear.
COUNTY TREAsURER-' Well, | am right glad to
hear it, for was afraid that you would not be
able to buy the scrip at reasonable rate, owing
to its scarcity, so | paid my eighteen thousand
dollars in coin into the State Treasury, about
twenty minutes ago. | hope you will not lose
anything on your purchase
Scrippy has not been on change since.-U Union.

Music IN FAmLY.-Music in family il u
means OF domestic checrfulness.
a musical family, in spite of cares. perpexi-
ties, or even Of trials, may be a cheerful family
Not gay, do We mean for there are many points
Of difference between cheerlulness and gayety,-
But cheerfuness in that sense which implies
good spirits, and in which needless depression Of
spirits aud morbid melancholy are kept out Of
the family You can have the sunshine OF cheer
fulness in your house, in the most rainy, cheer
less, or wintry day that ever was if you can
have music.
Music promotes good nature in Il family. And
in this world where there is so much evil nature
manifested in thousand ways, and in the family
sometimes as well as elsewhere, anything which
will promote good nature is to be priced.
Who can be mad in the midst of music? Or
fret and scold with sweet sounds falling upon his
ears Or keep up sour and sulky manners when
the very air around him is blended with soft
harmony?
