TOWN AND COUNTY MATTERS.


announcement, relative to the re-opening of the
Northern Telegraph line to this place, with
pleasure:
Tr1rGRApuIc--It affords me pleasure to in
form the public that the Telegraph is now in
rood working order 10 San Francisco, St. Louis,
81 louisville, Nashville, Tenn, and Huntsville,
Owing to rather a serious break at Memphis,
messages to New Orleans uia Fortress Monroe,
and from thence by " Mortar Boats" Operator
PORTER will be happy to deliver all messages
Cor the latter point
Expert operators are now at work repairing
the iine to Yorktown and Richmond, Va, Charles
ton, S. c., and Mobile, Ala. Line finished to
within four miles of Savannah, Ga. communi-
cation may be restored at any moment
Very respectfully BfooK, Op.
p. s. Since writing the above the Chicago op
orator informs me that the line is O K to York
town. d.
TIE RoaDs-From this place 10 Oregon Gulch
The road his been put in travelling condition for
teams. Johnny Guilford runs his Stage to Stct-
pers Flat, daily, but the road is far from being
a good one-the best portion being from Douglas
8 CITY to Steiner's the citizens along the road hav
inc sufficient energy to keep it in repair, regard
less of expense. The roads leading from Wea-
# yervlle arc disgrace TO our people. If road
lax enough to put them IN repair cannot be col
lected at the present time, we had better do
away with wagon roads entirely. The Weaver
# willie and Shasta road will be open in a few days
but it is next to impossible for a heavy loaded
team to get from the Browns creek junction to
~ town. There should be at least $4,000 road tax
collected in the Weaverville Basin,
& WIRE SUSPENSION FLuMEs.-Jno. MeMurry,
Esq, of the Red Bar Company, returned from
San Francisco on Thursday night, where he has
been to purchase Wire Suspension, on which
to cross their fumc over the Trinity at Red Bar.
The material is at Red Bluff, and will be brought
M as soon as the wagon road is open. Nc. tells
us that Mr. 1Iallidic will be up in two or three
weeks to make a survey for Suspension about
~ one mile above Evans Bar, on which the tume
lately owned hy Brandt y Co. will be crossed
SHAME oN THE GIRI.-The other day. at Trim
ity Center, a white man named Bird married a
little negro girl. Previous to the ceremony he
was obliged to swear that there was other than
white blood in his veins There is probably not
n place in the State that comes up to Trinity
& Center in the way of match making, but this last
81 hitch" caps the climax. Shocking bad 'as'e
on the girl's part think we.
II GoNE below County Treasurer Musscr left
for the Bay on Monday. In connection with Of
fetal business pertaining to his office, he goes to
3 rcpresent Trinity Lodge and Trinity Chapter, f.
"A. NJ. in the Cvand bodies, which convene at
& San Francisco this week. b. Block, Esq, at the
q Express Office is his legal deputy TO transact all
3 business connected with the Trcasurers 5 office.
D1scnArcEp.-Jamrs TOWNSEND. who has been
spending several weeks in the county jail, was
discharged on Thursday. lie was committed on
q a charge of stealing $50 from packer at DORIS
& Station. on the Shasta and Yrcka road. There
seems to be but little doubt of his guilt but the
q absence from the county Of the principal witness
VI in the case, led to his discharge.
Sr,aNc GoopS-- Most of the Wcavcrville NOR
chants have rclarnad or are now in San Francis
y co, purchasing thciI spring aud Summer stocks.
81 A large quantity Of fe;ght for this place is now
81 swing at Red Bluff and wiil probably there re
# main until the Wcavervle and Shasta Wagon
# Road is oneu, which will be ten days yet.
GoIp SnuNENr.-lt is several years since as
zX much gold was shipped from WeavcrvIIe as is
y,eng bought and sent below now. Grecnhood
az Ncwbaucr, alone, buy an immense amount
ycckly and we hear of many business houses
pntSide of Wcavcrville that buy from $1,000 to
~ 10000 worth Of dust per week
M SEVENTY FIVE CENTS A LErTER-Greenhood
a. Ncwbaucr give notice that hereafter letters to
81 the new mnes--Samon river or Cariboo-or to
81 any point in Washington Territory, must be pre-
Il paid 75 cents This extra charge is made ncc"s.
81 tary by the increased tariff OF connecting lines
81 in the north.
STILL GoNG.-Ne0rly every day people pass
3 through town on their way north. Theodore
Shult2 and wife, and Jno. llouk, from lower Trim
81 ity, passed through on Wednesday, We said
q ast week that p. pausrn left with the German
q company. IT shomll have read J. Puulsen; Peter
q still preaiGcS at tie Union Hotel.
QUERY Eaaor Journal would like to ask
s. why our Sheriff appoints known Secessionsts'
q to do business for the county, when there are
s plenty of Union men competent to fill the same
"a position UNION.

frain to Calnhan's ranch. Next week stages

We ask particular attention to the new adver
