Saturday Morning, October f3. 1850.

DOUGLAS RALLY.-Neyt Monday evening the
Douglas democrats of Trinity county will hold a
mass meeting in Weavervile. 1t promises 10 be
more interesting than any political meeting
which has taken place during the present can
vass in in Northern California. Hon. II. p. IIar-
mond, candidate for Elector on the Douglas side
will be present. Mr.. Hammond is clear, forc-
ble and agreeable speaker Hon. }. w. McCorkle
will also address the meeting Judge McCorkle
will never fail in Trinity to secure q large and
attentive audience te hear him speak
Judge fitzer probably will have got through
his appointments in the other Northern counties
SO lar as to be present also, and address the
meeting, Hon. Jas. A. McDougal, OF san Fran
cisco, will he here, we understand, without fail.
fl is unnecessary TO say more of this gentleman
than TO mention the mere'iact be is not only rec
ognized as one of the first men in the State OF
California, but amongst The first OF the Union.
AS the occasion will be one Offering peculiar at
traction In the way of sparkling talent and abl-
ty, we have no doubt but it will bring the people
together from every section of the county, and
secure the largest assemblage Of the present
campaign in Trinity.

METHODIST PAsToEATE.-Rev Robert Kelen,
the new Methodist Episcopal minister, preached
his first sermon at the Union church last Sunday
to very large congregation The sermon was
the most interesting, and in many respects supe-
rior to any we have heard spoken in Weavervile
The reverend gentleman comes highly recon-
mended from the place of his last sojourn and
we venture nothing in saying that the people Of
this county can be benefited and instructed by
listening TO his teachings. 1t is no injustice to
say that the Methodist church here has been rep
resented by men of very ordinary talent for the
past two years. We trust the new preachers
stay in Weaverville will be more productive Of
good than those who have been before him.
While on this subject we would suggest that it
is as necessary for ministers of the Gospel TO be
supported as other men. Let our citizens evinee
a disposition to properly support their minister,
that he may be encouraged in his labors for the
common good. We hope and believe that a wor-
thy minister of God will not want in our commu-
nifty, and in proportion to the encouragement he
receives, so can he the more strive to make his
mission pleasant and beneficial to those around
him. Remember this.

had performed his part of the contract. The
jury, under instruction from the Court, found a
verdict for defendant.

A FRGHTFUL LEAP, AND MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
eyed, pretty daughter of Dr. Edward Trask. of
this town, fell into an Old mining shaft Oh East
Weaver, last Sunday. Herself and an older and
younger sister were out walking in charge of the
servant, and Lizzie venuring too near to the
edge of the hole, the dirt gave way and she was
precipitated to the bottom a distance of 1fty-two
feet. The accident occurred near the mining
cabin of Jno. G. Mason and company and as
soon as possible windlass was brought and Mr..
Mason lowered to the rescue. When brought to
the surface signs of life were visible, aud for
some time those present very reasonably believed
that the fall had killed her. Dr. Davis had her
conveyed home as soon as possible, where igns
of consciousness were soon exhibited and on ex-
animation ii was found that the right thigh was
broken about midway between the knee and hip
! Joint The broken limb was set by Drs. Davis
and Thomas-Dr. Trask being absent at Shasta.
With the exception of some severe bruises about
the head and jaw, no further injury done. 1t
is only wonderful that she was not killed outright.
We venture to say that full. grown person could
not take the same tumble and escape with life.
The many friends and acquaintances of the little
neghborhood pet could not have been more re-
joioed than when Lizzie was pronounced out of
danger.
The ugly hole where the accident happened is
close by the road side, and we would suggest that
such places be covered where their close proxim-
ity to the highway endangers life and limb The
little sufferer, we are happy to say is getting on
remarkably well, all things considered.

How ARKANSAS WILL Cove received, this
week, a letter from an old friend at Camden,
Arkansas one who lived in this county years
ago. lie writes that the Journal don't reach
him regularly and believes that "Uncle Samuel"
is to blame, and so do we. The paper goes regu-
larly twice month, and if it don't reach its
destination it is only because some hick-pated
postmaster on the other side can Il read, but just
measures off the mail when it arrives, by the
bushel ; else that politics run so high in that
State that the post Offices have all been closed
and the postmasters taken the stump. Speaking
of politics in that State, the writer says;
"There is great and fast increasing enthus-
asm through the Southern States for the Union
candidates, Bell and Everett. That far seeing
and cunning old reprobate, Bennett, has already
suuied the breeze, and trimmed bis sails for the
probably successful candidates, and the HeraH
is now out for Bell and Everett.
The Brcckinrldge party are even losing hopes
of carrying this State, which never has elected
any one but democrat, and they actually refuse
TO bet a hat that Bell and Everett do not carry
