HARD CAsEs.-Wcek before last, couple of
from jackson at shearing sheep. Jackson en-
! ployed one of them, who forthwith laid hold of
a sheep and began to cut and slash away in a
very reckless manner, every now and then taking
n piece of flesh out of the poor animal. After
lie had worked about half an hour, Jackson put
his hand in his pocket, pulled out half dollar
and told Mr. Sheep-shearer to let his sheep alone.
The discharged hombre then sat down, looked on
and talked sheep, knowing more on that sub
ject than anybody else. After while jackson
got tired of that and says to him " Look here,
you know too much about sheep want you to
60 away" This rebuff started the fellow and
he left together with his companion. The wor-
thy pair spent the four bits for whisky, and jour
neyed on. Arriving at the American Ranch,
they told Charley Hamin they wanted some
whisky. Charley told them he had none " les
yon have, said they, "and we must have some,
so just bring it out and say no more about it,"
Apparently yielding TO intimidation, Charley
went down cellar and brought up demUohn of
whisky which he sat down on the floor. Then
taking down double-barreled shotgun, Char
ley turned the tables on them handsomely.
Says he, g There's plenty of good whisky, help
yourselves if you re dry and amt afraid of me-
But my friends don't believe | can persuade
you to take single sip of it," And he was
right, for they suddenly concluded they weren I
dry, and left instantcr without saying good bye.
Our heroes then went on to the toll gate on
Scott mountain. Entering the toll house, they
told the keeper that they were hungry and
wanted something to eat. Upon being informed
that travellers were not entertained there they
again resorled to bluff talk Said they That's
played out we re hungry aud must have some
thing to cat so come out with it," But in this
case, as before, these big talking gentry met
with more than their match. Going to the cup
board and opening it, the toll-taker, instead
of producing grub for his unwelcomc guests
Unexpectedly exhibited a Colts six-shooter.--
"Now you rascals," said he, " if ain't man
enough for you, pitch in and fill your bellies
There's lots of grub in the cupboard" Fooled
again, the prowers lost their appetite and
sncaked off like ours of low degree" Upon
reaching the house kept by widow Masterson,
they managed to impose on the good woman s
hospitality, for which they should receive all the
stripes allowed by the articles of war and as many
more as Judge Lynch might decide just and eq !
utabe.

LET Us HAVE PEAoE.-The late election in this
State and county is cmphatically II Republican
triumph. In this county, neither side has u
right to crow a great deal. Now that the heat
and smoke of the conflict is over, we have this
to say Trinity County is in manner isolated
from the rest Of the State. We are IL commun-
y unto ourselves. II is simply foolshncss for
us TO permi! mere partisan feelings or animosi-
ties to disturb our business or social relations
1t is right, when political questions are to be
passed upon, that every cilizcn take decided
stand. Wisdom also dictates that partisan feel
ing should not be carried to an extreme, except
in extreme cases. In this county, being compcll-
cd rs it were TO associate with one another, we
should he sure if we do err to do so on the side
of socinbility and friendship. Danish every
trace of animosity arising ont of the late election
" Let us have peace" for two years more.

Tue BIC DITCH AGAIN.-A party of five from
Nevada county have been looking ut the Stew
arts Fork section of country, and are now en-
gagged in surveying II route for taking water
from that stream and conveying it upon Bolts
Hill and to Weaver Basin. The survey now be-
ing made is simply to ascertain whether there is
il practicable route and what will be the proba-
bic cost. The head of the surveying party is a
gentleman named Loveridge who has been in the
South Yuba Canal Company for many years, and
has large experience in ditch matters. lie
tells us that there are parties in Nevada ready
and willing TO invest in just such enterprises,
and that he thinks the report he will give of
Trinity County will have the effect of bringing
capital here to build the much talked of Stew
arts Fork ditch His plan is (aEd it is strange
no one ever thought of it before) to take water
along the right bank of Stewart's Fork looking
up stream, ana cross the river with iron pipe.
In this way it is claimed that the line of the
ditch will run over ground of the most favorable
character for its construction, avoiding all dam
ger from snow and land slides Mr. Loveridge
is quite sangune rs to the future of that part of
the county. He expects that others from Neva-
da will be np next Spring to start the ditch, and
expresses it as his opinion that in few years at
most, we will see Two large bitches taking water
from Stewards Fork.
