TRINITY CESrrR, July 18th, 1862
DEAR JOURNAL: Feeling somewhat hilarious
to-day on account of an overdose of quinine and
whiskey-taken medically of course-t occurs to
me that letter from Trinity valley might prove
acceptable to fill in.
FEvRR AND AGUE.
The ague has again made its appearance in
our midst. Several are already down with 1t,
and everyone looks shakey.
CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE.
The aspirants for nomination for Sheriff have
all paid US visit. One proposes to feed bis
men, that is to say be has ordered an elaborate
supper to be prepared for his friends election
night. As we have been going it on pork ana
beans straight for some time past this novel
mode of capturing votes will undoubtedly prove
great success. Another evidently THINKS
whiskey straight will win, and shakes hands IN
style worthy of down-east landlord.
Theatrical.
The Fanny Young troupe performed here last
Monday evening to fair audience, and gave
very general satisfaction.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr.. Hall is thoroughly renoyating the old hotel.
He has engaged the services of clerk who is
known by the euphonous cognomen OF Jocco,
and when he gets ready intends to furnish every
thing in a style not surpassed by any house on
this coast-What Cheer house not excepted.
CoRRALED.
The citizens were thrown into state OF in
tense excitement few days since, and the Demo-
Gratis came near losing vote. Man lost
Had no shirt on Had no drawers on Had no
coat on Anybody giving information Will be
suitably rewarded" Such were the instructions
about to be given to the town crier, when the
missing man made his appearance. 1t appears
from his story-which is indeed heartrenderlng
that having become completely worn out with
business (which is very brisk when candidates
come over he sought some quiet place for repose.
The crairery suiting his views, he divested him
self of his under-clothng and repaired to the
barn for snooze. Jocco, ever watchful finding
the grainery door unlocked, turned the key and
had his man corraled and kept him there until
late in the evening. The poor fellow stormed,
swore and kicked at the door, but all to no pur-
pose. Sitting on sack of grain he coolly awaited
his fate knowing if no team arrived he was in for
twenty-four hours sure. Fortunately, however
some teamsters came along and he was released,
after six hours confinement. At first he was
disposed to be hostile, and said the man who
locked the door @ Plum Smart But on a
friend rehearsing few verses fromtthe Missel-
toe Bough u he thought what his fate might
have been and cooled down.
Dr. j. c. Dorr met with painful accident
yesterday. He fell through the rafters of the old
hotel distance of ten or fifteen feet, and was
badly bruised about the head and face. He is
quite comfortable to-day.
MATRIMONIAL.
Lew Hall has entered the state of connubial
felicity. Like the rest of us old bachelors Ma
cawber-lke) he had been waiting long time
for something to turn up.
wARLIKE.
few days since one of our neighbors charged
through the street on horseback, pistol in each
hand, la Dick Turpin. Everyone rushed to
the street in anticipation of witnessing ter
ribe tragedy about to be enacted. 1t appears
his hogs had been trespissng on his neighbor' S
land The party injured set his dog on them
who took chunk out of the near part OF a male
hog Hence the cavalry'raid. He swore with a
terrible oath that he would kill mot the man)
but every DOG in town. Since that time all dogs
in this vicinity hold their narratives in very
cowardly and undoglike manner. Some says
that he snapped three G. D. caps at one dog
Others say he has been unucky in getting his
gun off on other occasions. Law suits are
threatened, and, in the language of the inmita-
Bile Joe Murphy, 90 If dorg with malice and
aforethought bite his neighbor's domesticated
animals, can said party of the first part be re-
leased on habeas corpus? That's the question. u
Mining dull Ewes l. Co. have the river turned
at Snow gulch and will be ready to commence
operations in a few days. Should this enter
prise prove success other river claims will un-
doubtedly be opened. The cbinamen have left
masse for place on Northfork known as
Crows dggings. | hear that Tom Coyle has
shut Morrisons water off If this is the case it is
rough on Morrison, sure.
Yours truly,
OLD AGUE.
