THE FERRY. BOAT DISASTER.
Additional Scenes ami Incidents.
From the Tribune.

Henry Roberts, employed at the As
sociated Press Office, adjoining the
Barge Office, was standing on the plat
form, near the plling on the east side
Of the slip, at the moment of the ex-
p1osion. He says shat be heard a sud
den jar and rushing sound, aud that he
looked upward and behind him, sup
posing that the oupola of the Barge Of
fee was falling. In the next instant
came shower of fragments from the
direction OF the boat, and almost imme-
diately he was enveloped III a cloud Of
steam, but not before he had seen a
large number Of persons falling into
the water Then followed the cries of
the victims, which seemed TO mIpgle
t0gethefand produce universal shrek
Of terror and agony. He had Just left
q small boat at the farther side Of
the platform, and being unhnrt
he at once rowed out to rescue the per
sons struggling III the water. As he
came near he saw, he thinks, about 10
persons. Many men went down before
his eyes; but the women seemed to be
sustained longer by their clothing.
There were SO many struggling iii the
water before him that he hardly knew
whom to attempt to save first. He
soon got seven women into his boat,
and was chen compelled to start for the
pier, for fear of capsizing If he took in
more. At that moment he saw q wo=
man III black dress a few feet distant,
throwing up her arms as she was sink
ing He turned to save her, but was
too late. When the seven were removed
from the boat, he returned and found
a woman supporting herself by a
large piece of flooring, upon which she
had contTived to place her two children.
She was quite self-possessed, and when
he attempted to lift her into his boat,
demanded that he should take the
children first. He said they We're safe,
and urged her to take hold Of the side
of the boat but she vehemently re
fused to do so until he had lifted the
children info it. Next he found dead
woman upon some timbers with child
crying upon her breast. The child had
received a terrible cash upon the head,
and he believed could not have lived
long. Meanwhile, he saw numerous
Scalded persons moving frantically
about upon the platform cooling their
burns, and looking, as they did so, for
relatives whom they missed. He saw
one woman floating away at least $50
feet from the steamer, and still strug-
Cling. Two OF three Of the numerous
boatmen, who had by this time come to
the place, pushed out to save her, but
she SANK before they could reach her
He had noticed the people upon the
boat before the explosion, and thinks
that it contained at least $50 Manyo of
those who perished were covered by
the great mass Of timbers that fell into
the water.

THE NEW YEAR.

We have just passed the threshold of another
year. With the incoming of 1871 another ripple
on the stream of time has been added to the
broad ocean of the past. The first of the year
is the time when we recall the past and antici-
pate the future. Then we form resolutions for
future guidance and indulge in useless regrets
over past follies. The years mle-stones
along the road we journey from the cradle to the
grave. Every one we pass reminds US that we
are so much nearer our journeys end. 1t is
well that we profit by the reflection. 1t is well
if, our better nature prevailing, we halt in our
foolish career and begin a new year with firm
resolve to tread the pathway of uprightness and
sobriety. The year 1870 is now among the things
that were. We all remember how we entered
upon it we all know how we have been satisfied
or disappointed To some fortune has come with
both hands full others have drank the bitter
cup of disappointment to the dregs. 1t has been
thus since the world began, and always will be-
With everyone no doubt, something has hap
pened to make the year 1870 remembered always
Certain events occurring during the last twelve
months will give to the past year lasting prom
inence in the history of nations. The compile
tion of the Pacific railroad the opening of the
Suez canal, and the suddenness, magnitude and
unexampled desperation of the continental war,
now raging, are matters that will keep the date
of their occurrence alive for generation after
generation. What is before US we but guess.
With another New Year, we may be here else
where we may be alive and we'll, or we may be
dying or possibly trembling pilgrim through
eternity. Let us so live that when all sublunary
scenes are fading from earthly vision forever

With this number commences the Sixteenth
volume of the WEEKLY TRINITY JOURNAL. 1t
has always been our aim to publish the JOURNAL
in the interests of the people of Trinity county
and we believe we have succeeded in pleasing our
patrons Notwithstanding the exceedingly dull
times, we are happy to say that our subscription
list is now larger than it was the day we took
possession of the paper. Our advertising patron
age has been and still is liberal. With the ex-
perence we have heretofore had, we believe we
make the Journal still more interesting in
the future than it has been in the past. To our
many kind friends who have assisted US by max.
ing prompt payments and rendering words of
encouragement, we return thanks and would
respectfully ask a continuance of their patronage.
To those who have not settled up " old scores
we would say do so at once. To those who have
never taken our paper, but desire to know what
is going in the world, we would offer few
words of advice-SuJscribe for the JOURNAL at
once! The best time to begin subscription is
at the commencement Of a volume To one and
all we say Remember that the JOURNAL is a
truly local paper, devoted to the advancement of
Home Interests and looks to the people of the
county for the principal part of its support
We wish to all increased prosperity during the
present year and shall endeavor to make each
number of the New Volume a welcome visitor to
your fresides. With many thanks for past fayors
and hoping to merit continuance of the same,
we enter upon the SxTEENTH VOLUME.
