LAHExrEp DEATH. - Thomas Keely, not yet
eighteen years old, died at the residence of his
father. Manzanita Flat, Trinity river, on the 23d
Instant The circumstances connected with his
death are peculiarly painful. On the 2lst he
went out in the mountains on the north side of
the river TO look for horse, carrying HE rife
with him. During the day he shot deer some
four miles distant, which he concluded to leave
until the following morning and get assistance
to bring it in. AS it stormed in the morning his
companion concluded not to accompany him
Keely went alone, again taking his riae with
him. Not returning in the evening, suspicious
were aroused for his safety, and number of
neighbors started in search. His track was
found and followed throughout the whole davis
ionesme travel. Finally they came to the body
of the deer, which he had thrown down, further
on to where he bad thrown away heavy over
shirt, then his hat, then his rife, and finally
to the PROSTATE and inanimate form of the un-
fortunate young man, in which there was yet
iife He lay in the snow among some rocks,
on his face, and had evidently fallen from exhaus
ton. lie was carried home as quickly as pos
sible, and lived for six hours, but never spoke a
word. His remains were laid in the Catholic
cemetery, here, on Thursday. Tommy was
kind-hearted, upright industrious young man,
and we deeply sympathise with his family in
their sudden affiiction.

Is 1T JOKE ?-Assemblyman Steele, of Sski-
you, has given notice of bill authorizing the
employment of one hundred State convicts in
constructing roads in Siskiyou, Klamath, Hum
boldt and Del Norte counties, and asking tha,
Chinese miners taxes be applied to cover ex-
penses. The proposition is novel one, and we
hope Mr.. Steele will succeed in carrying it
through The representatives from Trinity
should aid it by every means in their power,
and we urge upon them to ask that the same
=" labor and talent " be employed in constructing
an " international" highway from this point to
Hoopa Valley. If Mr.. Steele is in earnest as
we suppose him to be, there will be no trouble
in carrying his object to a successful termina-
ton. To say nothing of the military force at
Hoopa Valley, there are four hundred "culti-
waited grasshopper-eaters who might be made
useful in the way of guarding the one hundred
convicts." Four to one ought to certainly be
sufficient for that purpose, and without any ad-
ditlonai cost to the State. He hope Senator Chap
pell and Assemblyman Jones will not be outdone
by the Siskiyou representative in this matter,
but take it under immediate advisement. Hear

SHArrER's RfsIGNArIos.-The resignation of
Oscar l.. Shafter, one of the Justices of the Su-
preme Court of this State, excites considerable
surprise among the members of the party which
placed him in that honorable position. He was
elected by Union men, and his term OF othce
would not have expired until January l, 1874
Governor Haight has filled the vacancy thus
caused by the appointment of Col J. B. Crock
EFT, prominent pro-slavery Democrat of San
Francisco, which leads many Union organs to
severely censure Shafter for not having rendered
his resignation before the expiration of Governor
Lows term. The San Francisco Times places
the matter before the public in this light
Some of our contemporaries speak rather harsh
ly of Judge Shafter for resigning just after
Democratic Governor was inaugurated, thus ma
king room for another Democrat upon the Su-
preme Bench. We believe these structures
made in ignorance of the facts, and by implying
unworthy motives do Judge Shafter Injustice
We informed that his resignation was made
unavoidable by serious indisposition, which man
ifested itself very suddenly. He had no idea of
resigning until few days before his resignation
was rendered, and then acted from absolute ne
cessity and under the advice of his physician.
1t is charged in other quarters that Shafter had
contemplated resignng for some time, but hes
itated until Haight was in the Governors posi-
ton because he did not wish Gov. Low to ap
point Judge Currey to the vacancy, and feeling
quite certain that he would do so. 1t is under
stood that Currey and Shafter are not on the
most amiable terms. Aside from the prestige
which attaches to the position, no great harm
can result from the appointment of Crockett, al
though we had much rather see Currey in the
place.

CHICKEN BRIGADE CoRREsPoNDEncI.-A mista-
ken impression has gone abroad to the effect that
the Douglas City Chicken Brigade is in some way
connected with the company Of volunteer SOL
diery known as the Trinity Rifles. This is An er-
ror. The Chicken Brigade was organized at
Reddings Bar ON Christmas Eve, 1850, by Major
Redding and five others. One Of the original six
is still in this county. OF the aims and ends Of
the Society we are ignorant. They meet on ev-
cry returning Christmas Eve, and rumor says,
have glorious time. Doc. Martin tells us that
when he left Douglas City on Wednesday, the
Brigade was in secret session, having under con-
sideration the receut indignity offered by the
Governor elect in asking their presence on the
occasion of his Inauguration. This reminds US
of some correspondence pertaining to the Brig
ade which was picked up and handed us the 9TH
er day. and which we shall take the liberty of
publishing 1t is as follows:

WEATHER ITEMS FROM ABRoAD.-Frank Wheel
er, of the Shasta stage has made his last two
trips on horseback. On Monday the snow was
too deep on Trinity mountain to get over with
the stage. There being no connection from be-
low since that date, and no mails to bring, the
wagon was dispensed with on Wednesday. He
tells US that it had rained continually for three
days in the valley, and that most of the streams
were impossible At last accounts the northern
stage ran no farther than Trinity Center. being
prevented by high water between that point and
the New York House, and snow on Scott noun

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEw.-A few days
the long list of the past, and tie events of 1867
will have become history. Looking back upon
the past year we find many reasons to be thank
fu to kind Providence for manifold blessings
showered upon us. 1t is true that there have
been dark days and gloomy nights, filling our
hearts with sadness and fear, but the brightest
sunshine produces a shadow and the clearest
heaven becomes occasionally obscured by clouds.
The past year has wrought some important
changes in our town and county. The inexor-
able tyrant, Death, has demanded his yearly
tribute, and many heart has felt the pain of
parting with loved ones. But the solemn sound
of the funeral knell is drowned by the merry
sound of marriage bells, and if mourning broods
in some households, yet in others there is rea-
son for joy Little strangers, with smooth
brows and wondering eyes, rosy cheeks and
dimpled chns, who are to be future men and
women, and who are to play their parts in the
great drama of lfe have been welcomed in
many a household. Peace reigns supreme over
the land, and although country is not yet
fully restored to its normal state, yet immense
progress has been made, and it will not be long
ere we will be once more in both name and fact
the &C United States of America" The season
thus far prognosticates n coming year of plenty
The farmer as well as the miner has reason to
look forward with hope and confidence to the
future. We trust that nothing will happen to
mar these pleasant expectations. To our readers
we wish happy New Year, the return of many
more, and the realization of all of their hopes
| and wishes

uSoME" ON GRAMMAR.-The San Francisco
Dramatic Chronicle, one of our most spicy and
really interesting exchanges, does not devote its
exclusive attention to matters of the theatrical

of making war upon English grammar. Here is
what the latter paper says:
The more serious articles the best American papers
tuay forms of expressions and words which would be
on s as o i ar the
the proposition before nntves using the of Of
fcer instead Of that OF his Office and many others Thus
American writer would "maers look bad instead of
'badly"
To which the Chronicle responds in the follow
ing sensible style =" Yes, intelligent American
writers would, and do say matters look bad,
instead of BADLY > and so would educated
Englishmen, Scotchmen, or Irishmen. No one
but an ignoramus would dream of saying, mat
ters look 5adly,' because every one who is not
an ignoramus knows that adjectives qualify
nouns, while adverbs qualify verbs, and that it
is the noun matter that is qualified by the
adjective bad Matters look badly is as
ungrammatical and absurd phrase as the vel
