Six Years Ago.

Before us is a copy Of the JOURNAL printed

Day, and 10 noting the occasion the editor said :
"AlI outward scenes OH Thursday reminded
us of times gone by-times which once had with
us a living realiy--an actuai existence. The
white mantle from on high spread its melting
folds upon the earth, II was II stormy but a
magnificent scene, and the miners laughed as
they gazed upon it. The boys in the street gave
vent TO their merrimeut as they pelted each other
with snow.bals,"
Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, reader +;
whether the "white mantle from on high VIII
nave spread its folds around US remains to be
seen.
In regard TO the weather, the JOURNAL says
" Old grim. visaged winter has come. The noun
tains and valleys are covered with snow from ten
inches to six feet deep, aud all are rejoiced to
see Nature smiling through her Arctic robes"
JIG. Howard, Esq, who died last winter, but

TRINITY CENTER" Austin" writes that al.
though Trinity Center is not as large as some
other towns yet its great facilities for business
aud the inexbaustble mines with which ii is sur
rounded, bid fair to ere long place it on a foot
ing with its rivals The immense travel between
Shasta and Yreka all passes that way, aud gives
the main street of the village lively appear
ance.
Mr. James B. Wells has removed bis stock of
goods into a larger building, aud both the stores
seem TO be doing thriving business An oppo-
sition hotel has not been started, he says, but the
Trinity Center House is in full blast with Mr.
Chandler as proprietor. Mr.. Mcdaniel is pre-
pairing to go to Washoe.
The euterprlsipg agents of the California Stage
Company have succeeded in repairing the road
between Shasta aud Yreka. Bridges have been
rebuilt aud grades repaired and the road is in
as good condition as it was previous TO the heavy
storms and floods of last winter. The only bridge
unfinished is the one over Trinity river near the
Comstock d Kimball diggings. great many
hands are at work on IL however, aud from ap.
pearances il will soon be completed.
The principal mining claims in the vicinity
continue to pay we'll. The Division of Sons of
Temperance is aourisbing. The meetings are
held weekly at Odd Fellows Hall, aud | am n-
formed that additions are made weekly. A dis
trict School was established last summer, So you
see we are not much behind other places in NOR
al advancement. | will take this occasion to in-
vite all who are in search of home to "gye US
a call before purchasing elsewhere"

TRINITY NATIoNAL."-This is the title OF
new paper to be published in Weavervlle, the
prospectus Of which has been issued. w. l..
Carter is announced as publisher and proprietor,
and the paper, according to the prospectus is to
be democratic in the strict sense of the term"
The amount necessary to start the Na.iona. is to
be raised by subscription, and paid over to Chas.
Sloan, T. B. Britten, ]. I. Mcmahon and DR..
Hoffman,. who are to act in the capacity of Trus-
tees. The paper is to be commenced as soon as
$1,000 is subscribed.
1t has been evident for some time that the
wing of the Democracy which the citizens above
named represent, required an organ in Weaver
vlle True, it is not so much needed just al
present, but it undoubtedly will be before another
year rolls round. The course of the JOURNAL
has been such as TO incur the lasting displeasure
of portion of the Democracy of Trinity. This
we know from the fact that within the past three
four months we have received peremptory
notice to discontinue the papers of several promi-
nent Peace" " Democrats, the general tone of
the paper being according to their own acknowl-
edgments, entirely unsuited to their tastes Not
withsanding our regret at parting with old
patrons, consoed by the remembrance
that in conducting newspaper as well as in
transactng any other business, it is impossible TO
please everybody. We will frankly state how.
ever, that in two instances we were rejoced
when the warning came to 'stop my paper"
and al don't want the d--d thing any longer"
If there Others who entertain similar feelings
towards the TRINITY JOURNAL, all we have to say
is, don't take it. The JouRN -is furnished at
i've dollars year, and we give value received
for that amount.
Mr.. Carter is practical printer and worthy
young man. He has resided in this county about
eighteen months. We wish him all success in
in his undertaking, But be has never had any
experience as conductor of newspaper in this
State and we would say to him in all friendship
and sincerity that it is an up hill business. We
have arrived at this conclusion after seven years
experience. During the first four years of its
existence the JOURNAL bearly paid expenses
And we will venture the assertion that this has
been the experience of four 6ths OF the newspa-
per publishers in the State,
Trinity county can and does support one news
paper, but whether two can be sustained remains
to be seen. The experiment has been repeatedly
tried, and as often proved failure, And it is a
generally acknowledged fact that none of the
northern counties do support more than one
paper. One may thrive, but the second becomes
u burden and tax on community.

Ordered, That the following piece Of ground
he set apart as public burial-place Situated
about oue-fourth OF mile in a south-westerly di.

Mr. Greenhood informs US that something over
two hundred dollars deposited with him more
than year and half ago, and collected from
citizens of this county for the purpose of fencing
the Weavervile burying ground, is subject to
the order Of any person or persons who may be
selected by committee of citizens to undertake
the job of enclosing the ground indicated above
The amornt on hand is not sufficient to fence the
graveyard, but we have little doubt that the bal

of three be appointed to take the matter in

the burying ground has beeD left so long unen-

to lay their dead in close proximity to the de-
ceased of Chr ristiau lands, and not only TO bury,
but to desecrate the dead place by the annual
unearthing of the remains of their couDtrymen.

steps will be Immediately taken to properly pro
