The elections in Indiana, Ohio and Penn,

The test, according to them has been made

can redouble their efforts in those States
which are doubtful. - / @a.8 ~ ::

The True Grounds of Con a idence.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that
absolute, undoubting faith in the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rs a rem
edy for indigestion, bilious disorders, inter
mittent and remittent fevers, which noto-
riously prevail in all parts of the United
States? This confidence has been grow
ing for twenty years, and it Is still ex-
tending. 1t is not the result of credulity;
it has not been engendered by any hu-
man device, but is the spontaneous and
natural consequence of experience. What
people see daily going on under their own
eyes they cannot question. When fami-
lies in unhealthy districts that resort TO
this wholesome vegetable tonic, as a pre-
their immediate neighbors, who neglect
this precaution, are prostrated by the dis
sease, how is il possible that the phenom-
enon should be without its lesson7 In
like manner when it is seen that obstin-
ate cases of dyspepsia. of constipation, of
nervous weakness, and of general debili-
ty, yield TO the operation of the famous
remedy, how can even credulity itself
withhold its Endorsement? Eyewitness
es of the salutary effects of the Bitters
are to be found in every civilized settle
ment on this continent. The thousands
upon thousands who owe their restora-
ton to health and strength, or their pre-
servation from sickness, to its extraordin-
AIRY medicinal properties, are enthusiastic
in its praise. The mutitudes who rec
ommend it in neighborly way TO their
friends and acquaintances, as we'll as
those who make public their estimate of
its virtues, are always ready to state their
reason for the faith that is in them. They

INDIAN CREEK, April Sth, 1872.
DEAR JOURNAL Tho season of the
year has come when lite in the open air
is particularly delightful. Everybody
needs it-even the old maids and bache-
lors can't live without it. Mothers ought
to take their babies out every day and
give them good airing, even if they do
tan little and get on the Darwin theory.
That puts me in mind of nigger quar-
terly meeting four of us attended when l
was boy. believe one of the party
lives down on the Yuba at the present
time. We were all four put out of the
meeting house for laughing. The preach
er told his congregation that "Adam was
de fust man, Eve was dc fodder Cain
was de wicked man because he kill his
brudder. Adam and Eve were bofe
black men, and so was Cain and Abel.
Now 'spose it seems to strike you un-
derstandingly where de fust white man
cum from. Why, I'll let you know.
Den you see when Cain kill his brudder,
dc massa cum and say: Gain, whar is
your brudder Abel?' Cain say: 'Massa,
l don't know but de nigger knowed all
de time. Massa got mad and he speak
mighty sharp: Cain, whar is your
brudder Abel Cain got so powerful
skeered dat he turned white and dis is
de way de fust white man cum upon dis
yarth and if it hadn't been for dat
d-n nigger Cain we'd never been troub-
led wild dem sassy whites 'pon de face OBJ
dis globe. De quire will sing de forty
seventh hymn while Deacon Snowfall
passes round de sasser."
Now about the mines on the creek.
Mr.. A. L. Corbus, our merchant here,
is getting his store well stocked with No.
l goods. He had pack-train of twenty
eight mules come in last week, and he
is looking for another train this week.
think he does more business than any
other store in the county. Mr.. j. A.
johnson is going to dig his South Fork
ditch two hundred feet higher this Sum
mer so as to give the boys more pressure.
Nowadays the miners want all the
pressure they can get to work the high
banks. Our enterprising friend, Mr.. Sill
cox, has bought from Mr.. Corbus his
North Fork ditch, and he intends to
bring it down this Summer over the red
hills back of Mr.. Corbus' store. 1t will
cover some of the best diggings in the
county. Everybody is busy-plenty of
water and money is beginning to shine.

A MURDER IN SAN DIEGO. - A San
Diego date of the 9th instant has the fol-
lowing: About 0 o'clock last evening,
Mathew Anderson was shot and killed by
a Mexican, whose name is, as yet, un-
known. 1t appears that the Mexican was
in liquor most of the afternoon and even
ing, coming into Alderson's saloon several
times, and making a disturbance. lie
was finally ordered to leave, which he
did, but came back shortly and requested
to see Anderson at the door. Anderson
complied, and on reaching the door was
shot through the head with pistol bullet.
Those inside, hearing the shot, rushed out
and found Anderson lying in pool OF
blood dead. Pursuit was given and the
Mexican was captured and lodged in Jail
before 10 o'clock. Anderson was a MEM
Der of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, Secretary of the Lodge here,
and man universally respected. A COM
panion of the Mexican was arrested to-
day, and it is thought that these men are
in some way connected with the assassin
ations recentlycommitted in this vicinity"
Mat. Anderson at different times resided
in Shasta and Trinity counties. He was
musician by profession, inonensive, and
well-liked by his acquaintances.

LIST OF LETTERS

ASSESSORS OFFICE.-Among the latest
enactments of the Legislature was one
fixing the time for which Assessors are to
be elected hereafter at four years, and ex-
tending the time of those chosen last year
to four years from the first of last January.
We think the law will be found good
one and add to the efficiency of the Off
Ger. 1t was remarked in recent report
amount received from Poll Taxes and
Business Licenses always fell off largely
during the years in which general cleo
tions were held. Under the two years
term of Office system, an officer hardly
gets the run of his office before the ques-
tiOn of nomination and reelection oc-
cupies a large share of his attention. The
Assessors Office is an important one and
its duties cannot be shirked without Sc
riously affecting the finances. A great
deal of responsibility and labor are at
tached to the position and it requires ca
pacity and energy on the part of the in
cumbcnt. The Assessor in this county,
AS it is now regulated, is literally paid,
and we have faith that Mr.. Paulsen will
acquit himself to the satisfaction of the
people and with credit to himself. Under
the stringent provisions and the equally
searching instructions of the State Board
of Equalization, we are satisfied that the
taxable property in this county will be
more thoroughly assessed than ever before
under former Revenue laws.

LEWISTON, April S, 1872.

LEWISTON, Aprll o, loIz.
EDITOR JOURNAL The first of April
is past and so is all the fun of that day
gone, too but ever and anon the fun of
All Fools day will come into our minds
eye, and then we have to laugh in spite
of ourselves. Early in the morning
might be seen the smoke escaping from
sundry doors and windows, and lady-like
anathemas might be heard issuing from
the lips of the fair owners. The fact of
the matter was the stove pipes were
stuffed with the butchers salt sacks.
The next thing on the programme was:
Mr.. Wiley and Mr.. Brady got up
mock shooting scrape. One accused the
other of cheating; then came the, "you're
another one" Wiley said: "If you
call me that, I'll cut your heart out"
Would your" said Brady. Then he
commenced the shooting" You never
beheld more dumfounded crowd in
your life. One man in his hurry tried to
get into the drum of the stove. Another's
mustaches seemed to grow down from the
corners of his eyes. Another hollered /:
Amt that cracker" But the worst
fooled of all was our worthy constable.
He met the shootist and told him TO
give up like a man." But the other
couldn't see the point and whanged away
at the officer. His glim was doused."
and off he went up to the Hotel for help
to arrest the numbering scoundrel. Ar
irving there he saw the shOotee and asked
him if he was much hurt or bleeding
much" swell, not much" was the
answer. At that the veil was taken from
his clouded vision he saw the thing, and
turning round to the crowd, said !: "sold."
" Boys, come up and irrigate," was the
next. And so ended our April Fools
day in Lewiston.
Mr.. Baker, of Bolts hill. came to
town on Saturday night with smiling
face. Well he might, for he brought
over one hundred ounces of the metallic
substance with him, besides he had his
derringer pocket full of pieces weighing
from S2X up. broke one of the ten
commandments--I don't remember which
it is, it is so long since l said them over.
Mr.. Blagrave's bedrock ditch looks
"yaller." Hickey got nice prospect out
of his lower flume, S250-besides he has
his upper ffume and long bedrock ditch
to wash up yet. The "main stay" is all
right, and so ain'tI. PEELER.

ATTRACTING Strangers
are TO be seen about our town more than
has been usual for several years. Now
that people are beginning to come and go
from here to the Bluffs, or to the Bay
and back, we hear that there is consider
bic excitement in some of the lower
counties about Trinity county and its
Big Ditch. Moreover, during the past
Winter several unpretending, plainly
dressed individuals have been among us
taking notes. Practical, well-informed
miners cannot take look at this county
without being forcibIy impressed with
the vast and untouched field for profta-
BILE mining operations. When they re-
turn to their homes in Nevada or else
where, their reports necessarily direct
public attention this way. The sign of
the times indicate that mining in this
county is about to take new start. An
infusion of a little outside energy and
capital, combined with the most improved
methods of working gravel claims, would
work wonders in short time.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

Discovery oE Rich GRAvEL.-Whit-
more & Co., in working the old Simonds
claim on the southwest side of Trinity
river, above Junction City, on a plateau
four hundred feet above the river bed,
tailed through large hat-the water from
the claim naturally cut its way through
the red cement and gravel to the bed
rock, in its rapid descent to the river,
exposing one of the richest blue gravel
leads ever seen in this county. The lead
is two hundred feet wide with an average
depth of twenty feet. An old Californian,
having prospected it thoroughly, pro-
nounccs it one of the richest gravel depos-
its he ever saw. The lead as exposed
runs dagonally through level plain OF
some two hundred acres that has been
prospected in many places without stri-
king pay-gravel. From North Fork of
Trinity to Dutch creek, distance of six
teen miles on the southwest side of the
river, has been known for years to con-
tain mineral deposits of extraordinary
richness, only waiting for capital to de
velop them.
