FIRE IN THE WOODS The Trinity Jour
nal learns from n gentleman just from the
South Fork of Trinity, that the woods are
burning in every direction, destroying the
grass, and causing great inconvenience to
packers. Between the Trinity and Hay Fork
fire is also raging in the mountain, and des-
troying great quantities of timber. On Sun
day, the 9th inst the brush on the line of
the wagon road, which had been cut for
some time, was set on fire along the route
from Lowden's saw mill. on Grass Valley
Creek, to the summit Of Trinity mountain.
The distance is about eight miles, and We
learn from an eyewitness that grand sight
was presented, the entire distance being one
heavy volume Of flame. A heavy fire has
been for some days burning on the divide
between Trinity and klamath counties. Tho
atmosphere. usgally very pure, has conse-
quently become so ha2y that it is difficult to
see the summit of old ''Bally"

The Doom OF Our WoRLD--What this
change is to be we dare not even conjecture;
but we see in the heavens themselves some
traces of destructive elements. and some in
dications of their power The fragments of
the broken planets, the descent of meteoric
stones upon our globe, the wheeling comets
welding their loose materials at the solar
furnace; the volcanic eruptions of our own
satellite. the appearance of new stars and
the disappearance OF others, are all foresha-
dows of that impending convulsioa to which
the system of the world is omed-Thus
placed upon a planet which is to he burnt
up, and under heavens which are to bass
away; thus treading, as it we're. ON the ce-
meteries, and dwelling in the mausoleums Of
former worlds. let us learn the lesson of hu-
mility and wisdom, if We have not already
been taught IN the school of revelation -

GREAT DRUM Amongst other applianc.
es which have been sought to augment tho
musical effects at the approaching Handel
Festival, is a monster drum. The tone is
full and resounding, and more resembles that
of q bourbon organ pipe, both in quality and
continuance, than that generally obtained
from an instrument of percussion. Ths vi
braton continues, after the drum has been
struck, for nearly a minute. and for a long
er period its pulsations are distinctly per-
ceptibe at short distance. The diameter
is between six and seven feet. The frame is
said to contain nearly three hundred pieces
of mahogony, adroitly Joined in manner
best adapted to secure its freedom from
warping.

! Boston.
John Phoenix gives the following rs HIS
impression of Boston.
The fremont House is in many respects
good institution; it is perfectly clean and well
arranged, the attendance is good and the fod-
der excellent; but there is an undescribable
air OF gloom and solemity pervading the en-
tire establishment well suited to Boston. but
chilling to stranger to the last degree
The waters, dressed in black with white neck
cloths, move silently and sadly about the Ia
bles, locking ike so many Methodist minis
tcrs, with thirteen children, four hundred
year and two donation parties; the man in
the office never smiles-in any point of visw;

AN INFAMOUS BUSINESS.

When an entcrprising man strikes out new bu-
-iue~s. 10 the establishment of which he gives his
industry time talents and pecuniary means can
ANYTHING be more cort smpuble than to have an
other steal in, and under speclous preteXts, hold
out to the public an inferior article G.ld eudeavor
to obtain sbeir patronage. Pray, WHIT difference
is there so far as the honesty of the thing is CON
ccrbed Between purloini1g the business by which
a citizen hopes to make his bread and stealing the
bread itselfl a common thief, if he takes without
leave, however hungry a1oaf of bread from a ha-
kers shop, is appreheBded and cond cned to the

man from him. and 60 unscathed Of justice All
this is wrong. Some years since gentleman of
this city (Udolpho Woife) introduced to the citz-
ems of the United States medicated article of gin,
which was highly approved by professional gentle

some instances they have gone far to put

may be irreparably injured by using the horrible

Schiedan Sclnapps san only he obtained at the
stores of respectable merchants and druggists, in
town and country, and at the establishment OF u

those who would be his customers. He should not
permit his modesty tg hold him back from making
