TRINIrY COUNTY The Trinity journal.
llth inst, comes to us with the following:
Mr. James Comstock, who recently came
on the Weaverville and Shasta route, proves
himself a tirst-rate mountain driver. Not
withstanding the stormy weather he arrived
here before dark with his team in fine condi
ton. On Friday morning he went out
through the storm, "kiting," with the ex-
pressed determination that a small sized
storm should not close the road. Ill has one
of the finest and strongest teams on the road.
Loupe, the Humbolt man, started out at 3
o'clock, Friday morning, during a heavy
snow-storm. lie will hardly reach Union
town without delay. To person not very
familiar with the road such expedition would
be extremely perilous Loupe is stout
hearted mountain man, and the Humboldt
people are fortunate in having such Path
finder.

zens complain Of noisy and offensive Chinese,
domiciled so near their residences that they
can't sleep, or otherwise enjoy the quiet of

command immediate police interference
Some of them, also, have hog pens offensive
in location, filled with animals half starved
and unprotected from the cold, keep up an
outcry all night, worse, if possible, than the
Cinnamon. Compliments believe that they
have right to demand that persons renting
tenements to Chinese be required to cause
the removal OF the hog nuisance, and to com
pei the Cinnamon TO observe order so as not
to interfere with the peace Of the neighbor
hood. And for this they intend to sue at law,
if this admonition is not sufficient
Parties owning buildings occupied by these
people, should be admonshed that they have
no right to contract for the maintenance of n
nuisance destructive of their neighbors' peace,
or to the depreciation in value of his proper
ty. The presence of obscene Chinese women
in the streets is disgraceful enough to the
