PASSED AwAY.-Late last week, amidst the
hurry and confusion of the election and its
suits, we were apprised of the decease of Mr.
Thom's Coyle, at Trinity Center, and barely
chroncled the fact for the information of the
public. Mr.. Coyle was one among the earliest,
most steadEst and best valued friends of ours in
this county, and we cannot permit his unimely
death to pass without briefly tesifying not only
our appreciation but that of the community
where he resided for the last thirteen years, of
his worth us II citizen, friend, a neighbor and
as Il husband and father. The deceased was
born in Rocommon county, Ireland and died at
Trinity Center, of an affection of the lungs, on
the 5th day of September, A. D., 1871, aged Al
years. lie came to Trinity Center in 1853, and
from that time down to his. death was engaged
in mining at that place. An oft quoted line
from Pope has found response in the breasts Of
all
An honest mars the noblest work of God"
In these words ought the epitaph of Thomas
Coyle to be written. Industrious and self-deny-
ing, devoted to his family and liberal to the
needy, steadfast to his friends and charitable to
those with whom he differed, we know that we
can safely assert that Thomas Coylc departed
from this earth without leaving an enemy be-
hind. IT, as it is often said, "When good
man dies the angels mourn, there has been la
menlNtion in Heaven. The world will jog on as
usual and his memory will fade from the recol-
lection of acquainiances and friends, his chill.

GRAND SUCoEss.-About one hundred and
fifty persons were present at Dutton's creek on
Thursday last, TO witness the first gravel mining
blast touched off in Trinity county. We have
detailed before how the claim of Dixon, Hurst 4
Co. has been proved to be rich and how they
could not work il by ordinary methods Not
being disposed to give 1t up so, these gentlemen
determined to try what virtue there was in blast
ing. tunnel was run into the bank 100 feet
and wings extended from the end to the right and
left. The right hand extension was run thirty
feet at right angles with the main drift, then
turned again and dug ten feet parallel with
the central tunnel. The left hand extension was
40 feet of tunnel at right angles, with two short
tunnels of fifteen feet each, branching out dag
onally from the end of the main drift, and short
drift of ten feet run in midway of the main left
hand tunnel and parallel with the main drift
Mr.. j. Hays superntended the running of these
tunnels and placed one hundred and fifty-one
kegs of powder in the various excavations. At
about forty and one-half minutes past clock
p. NJ, the fuse was ignited and every body cx-
pectant. twenty-five and a-half minutes later
about an acre and half Of surface was lifted by
an unseen agency at least three or four feet from
the solid rock and settled again, with singular
sort of dumb noise. The amount of bedrock
cleared by the blast is ,ariousy estimated at
from thiry thousand to eighty or one hundred
thousand square feet. Nothing could have
worked finer or more successfully. If Dixon
Hurst 4 Co. don't make money next Winter
0utton' creek will be played out. Mr. Hays
who superntended the putting in and letting Off
the blast, can be relied on as knowing just how
it ought to be done. We are of the opinion that
blasting the banks down will be found profitable
in other claims in the county.

TRUE Now AS THEN.--A friend,
WHO has been carefully reading
'Volo' and .Nolo,' thinks the fol-
lowing is particularly applicable
to the question at issue:
That common sense philosopher,
DR.. Franklin, in his day, refuted
sn objection against large taxation
by showing that our heaviest tax
es are not imposed by government
In his Way to Wealth. he repre-
sents plain, clean old man called
Father Abraham as being asked,
will not these heavy taxes quite
ruin the country? How shall we
ever be able to pay them?
'Father Abraham replies: Friends,
the taxes are indeed heavy; and if
those laid by the government were
the only ones we had to pay, we
might easily discharge them; but
We have many others, and much
more gricvous to some of us. We
are taxed twice as much by our
idleness, three times as much by
our pride, and four times as much
by our folly; and from these taxes
:he commissioners cannot ease OF
deliver US by allowing an abate-
ment. However, let US harken to
good advice, and something may
be done for us. God helps those
