RoAps-We refer the Board Of Supervisors tc
the proposition of A. in regard to improving
the road between this place and Steiner's Flat.
Overseers Adams and Hatch have both done much
all that the road funds collected will allow -
and very small sum at this season, would build
4 road that would be passable during the winter
months. The new road built around the high
point at Moss Mabies 1umc, will enable teams
10 pass that heretofore dangerous point at any
season, and with the same Improvement in two
or three other places on Weaver Creek, the road
would be comparatively good.
TRAVEL between this place and Shasta is in
creasing steadily. During the past week several
light carriages have passed over the road, which
is pronounced in very good condition. Loaded
teams will commence running in week or two.
a gentleman from Red Bluff tells us that several
new freight wagons are filling up for the Wea-
yerville road, and believes that freight by team
will be so cheap this season that packers will
have TO abandon the route One teamster, with
Two four mule teams, made nineteen trips from
he Bluffs TO this place last year, clearing from
500 to $50 each trip.

TRINITY CENTrF, April IS" Zcta," who " for
tie last ten years has written nothing but letters
home,'" sends the following very acceptable
account Of matters in that thriving little town:
You invite communications from mining pre-
cincts, and though make no pretentions to the
requisite qualifications for a newspaper CORES
pondent neither write currcnte calamo," | will
attempt scrawl Our mines may say, and with
truth, too, are paying well. | can hear of none
who are not making good wages, and some are
reapng rich rewards for their labor The IIatchct
creek claims (about one fourth Of a mile above
town, instead of two miles, as Mr.. Cox has it in
his Auuals.') are yielding bountirully. can
not help comparing the Trinity Centre Of the
present with that of one year ago. Then our
town mightwith some propriety have been termed
L" one-horse institution" but not so now. We
have two stores; one by Messrs. J. & D. Calla2han,
of Shasta, successors to Wells & Kcarncy under
the supervision Of Mr.. Wells, whose reputation
for fair dealing will secure for them fair share
of patronage; the other by Messrs. Allen x Fader
These entcrprsing gentleman have built new
store-Whieh is not only convenience to them
selves and their customers, but is also an orna-
ment to the town. They purchase their goods in
San Francisco, for cash, and in consequence are
able to sell at prices that cannot fail 10 suit huv-
rrs. We shall soon have two hotels, two billiard
saloons, and perhaps two meat markets. One of
these last we can very well do without, as Mcssls
Robinson & Waters supply us with good meat nj
fair prices. We have two blacksmith shops al-
ready. The Odd Fellows have organized a Lodge
here; they have fine ball, and number eighteen
members, and will probably receive numerous
applications for membership in truth, am glad
TO see this organization, for believe every soci-
ETY. which has for its aim the good, not only of
self but of fellow man, is in reality deserving of
the hearty approval and good wishes of every
thinking mind II is thought by some that we
are in need Of a N. Y. O. B. society. regret to
say it, but we have amongst us busy bodies.
