Sudden and Lamenscd Deash.

On Monday morning last our citizens were
thrown into painful state of excitement by the
drowning Of S. Clark Jones. 1t will be remem-
bered that all the streams, gulches and bitches
were flooded, from the effects of two days and
nights steady rain. Jones Il Howe's large fume
very fnll-carrying, probably, over a thou
sand suiee-heads Mr.. Jones, in company with
one Of his men, was in the act of moving q slab
from across the bedrock ditch, when the other
end dropping in the ditch. the force of the water
against it threw Mr. Jones suddenly in the ditch,
and before he could be rescued was swept through
the ditch and fnme, distance of half mile or
more. When taken ont Of the water he was en-
tirely lifeless medical aid was Immediately pro-
cnred, and every known remedy tried to reani
mate him, but all in vain. lie was in The water
only about ten minutes and had but few bruises
on his person. A. J. Loomis, Esq, had the body
removed to his private residence, where it receiv-
ed the last tributes Of sad and sincere friendship.
The Rev. Mr. Kellen preached his funeral sermon
on Tuesday, from the text " If man die, shall
he live again."-Job XIV: IA. The discourse
was appropriate and affecting. The attendance
was one Of the largest ever in Weavervilc.
Seth Clark Jones was formerly from Brooke
comfy, Virginia, migrated to California in 1850,
and came to Trinity county in 1852, where he
has ever since resided. He was Just in the prime
of life-37 years of age. No man in Trinity was
more extensively known or generally esteemed
for his many manly and cnterprsing traits of
character. A man of cultivated intellect and
much natural refinement, he was yet one of our
most practical business men. His loss will be
severely felt in our community, and his sad fate
lamened by all who knew him.

ligence to January 22d from the East. Nothino
positive done in Congress on the all absorbing

that Crittendens compromise plan NAV vet pass
the Senate Critten3en has taken grounds that
rs kentucky is a central State, enioying all the
prosperity Consequent upon the present Union,
and form OF government, she will never consent
to lsG breaking up, and the formation OF a South
ern Confederacy, in which she would be a border
State, exposed to all the harrassment and losses
of such position. 1t is said he was much af-
fected during this portion of his remarks, and he
upbaided in severe terms Southern Senators who
were opposing his resolutions. He took the DO
sition that the Union must be preserved at all
hazards whether by peacable means or force
and that if force were used against the lawless
citizens Of a government that it is not the coer-
cion of State His speech created great sensa-
tion among the Senators.
Hayne, the South Carolina Representative at
Washington, no longer demands the surrender
or sale of the Charleston forts He is much more
moderate in his views.
The report that Maj. Anderson was compelled
TO put two men in irons for mutiny, is false. He
needs no more men or supplies at present
The California War Debt, appropriating $780,
900, has passed the House,
All the border slave States have sent commits

restored to our present distracted country.

SENAroRIA.-The Douglas Democrats in the
State Legislature have at length agreed in eau
Gus, TO vote for joint convention of both branch
es OF the Legislature, to meet on the goth of
February, to elect U. S. Senator They also
agree not to nominate Senator in caucus until
a resolution has passed the Senate and Assembly
appointing a day for meeting in joint convention.
We are glad of this, and only hope they will
stick to their bargain, for we have every faith
that notwithstanding the mournful predictions of
the political tricksters the Legislature will
speedily elect a U. S. Senator, when once they
meet in joint ballot for that purpose. As to
whom Assemblyman Walter favored for Senator
we have not been able to determine from his
votes in the caucus ; sometimes he voted with
what was supposed to be the anti-Denver inter
est, and again with the Denver men. Mr.. Walter,
previous TO going to Sacramento, pledged his
word to several citizens that he would vote for
that man whom he believed was the choice of his
party constituents in Trinity. We believe he
will act in good faith 10 that promise.

One OF the humanitarian movements OF Qua
times, although little known as such, can hardly
be over estimated In. its Importance upon the
wellbeing of our widely scattered communities.
The population Of the American States is in
many sections SO sparse, that skillful physicians
are hardly available to them. Vast numbers Of
our people are obliged TO employ, In sickness,
such medical relief as they can hear Of from
each other, or, indeed, any they can get from
any quarter. Hence arises the great consump.
tion Of Patent Medicines among Us, greater by
far than in any Of the old countries, where skill
full physicians are accessible TO all classes. Un.
princi pied men have long availed themselves Of
this necessity, to palm of their worthless nos
trums, until the word has become synonymous
with imposition and cheat. One of our leading
chemists in the East, DR.. Aver, 10 pursuing a
course which defeats this iniquity. He brings
not only his own, but the best skill OF our times
to bear, for the production of the best remedies
which can be made. These are supplied to h
world, in a convenient form, at low prices, and
the people will no more buy poor medicines In
stead OF good at the came cost, than they will
bran instead Of -four. The inevitable consequence
Of this s. that the vile compounds that food our
country are discarded for those which honestly
accomplish the end In yiew-which cure. Do
we over-estimste Its importance, in believing
that the prospect Of supplanting the by word
medicines, with those of actual worth and vir-
tue, is fraught with immense consequences for
good, to the masses Of our people.-Gaz.tte and
