CORRESPONDENCE.
CANON CREEK, April 9, 1872.

CANON CREEK, April 9, 1872.
EDITOR JOURNAL Having heard no
report through your columns from this
locality since your correspondent y Y
left here last season and knowing that
you are ever solicitous for local items,
will send you few merely to inform you
that we have not all "gone where the
woodbine twineth " but have, in a great
measure, departed from the old and long
established custom cf denning:u up all
Winter, like so many bears, waiting for
fine weather to come. A majority of our
miners have braved the storms of the
like veterans, and show will and dis
position to turn a new leaf and not be be-
hind other places always, of which (if l
mistake not the increased yield of gold
dust will plainly show before the season
is out. 1t generally conceded that there
will be a much greater amount of gold
taken out here the present season than
for any one Of many years past. Every
body is at work no idlers to be seen.
n new mining impetus seems to have
come over the people up this way. Our
merchants, hotel and bar-keepers, mill
and ditch men have all turned out to
mining, which shows clearly that our
mines are very rich or else business is
contoundedly poor. Our most fashiona-
BILE loafers have betaken themselves to
mining. Old men and small boys may
be seen late and early toiling in the mines.
Even tender females and innocent child
hood may be seen on fair days out inter-
viewing and overlooking our mining in
terests. No general clean-ups have been
made yet. Wilt & Wolff Bros. made
partial cleanup in their Mogul Hill (big
blasD claim last week, merely to pros
pect it, Of which fabulous reports are in
! circulation. Some say they took out
large-sized bucketful of clean gold. 9th
ers say the bucket was not quite that big
and the gold had some black sand in it.
Much discussion and diversity of opinion
exists concerning the size and color of
the bucket and cleanliness of the gold.
However, it is known to certainty that
the cleanup was good and flattering
one and numbered up into the thousands.
They richly deserve it for they are GER
tainly exemplary workers. A few more
just such companies would do honor to
our community. The alfalfa and quartz
fevers have not reached us yet. Though
it is a foregone conclusion among all
hands that rich deposits of the latter ex-
ist in our midst and only requires thor
ough prospecting to develop it, we
have yet too much placer diggings to fool
away our time hunting quartz. Blasts,
undercurrents and dump, with sprink-
ling of Globe nozzle groupings, are all the
rage here now. Wills. Day intends put
ting on an undercurrent to his stage, in
anticipation of the unusual amount of
gold dust expected to pass over that line
as soon IA the road is put in good order.
He thinks with good roads and careful
driving it can be made paying institu-
ton. Next week perhaps, or some other
indefinite week, will furnish you with
more detailed account Of what is going
on in behalf of our mining interests. This
being my first and may be my last, l will
no longer ask your indulgence. JOSH.

RIGHT.-A new correspondent, writing
from Canon Creek, starts out with the
proposition that we "are ever solicitous
for local items" In this statement,
Josh" drove center. We now are,
and always expect to be while connected
with the JOURNAL, solicitous" " for all
the local news We can possibly obtain.
The JOURNAL is, as it ought to be, spe-
cially local paper, and that is what we
strive to make it. "Josh," send along
that "more detailed account"

CHINESE HoLIDAY.-Just as we were
informed last week, there were more
Cinnamon in town on Tuesday than for
several years and they had a general good
time. The Douglas City baby-waker :"
was on hand, filling prominent part in
their proceedings. In addition to the
usual programme of burning fireworks
and visiting the "Joss House," the as
semblage seemingly organized and pro-
ceed, d to the top of School House Hill
and indulgcd in some sort of u contest tor
prizes.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

FROGS CROAKING.-A frog that took
up its quarters at the Challenge Saloon,
used to furnish us with an occasional
item until he accidentally got tlattened
out. During the latter part of this week
the tree and house frogs have been croak-
ing at a great rate and at all hours of the
day and night. We believe this is sup
posed to indicate good weather.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

CALL AT THE FREMONT HoTEL.-Now
that the Spring travel has commenced,
we recommend Trinity people while at
the Bluffs to make their headquarters at
the fremont Hotel. Old Weavervillians
need no reminder, for the genial proprie-
tor of the fremont is sure of their patron
age. An agreeable landlord, good fare,
thoughtful attention and moderate charg-
es combine to make it popular house.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

RETURNED.-Hon. John McMurry re-
turned Friday of last week, looking as
though the climate of Sacramento agreed
with his constitution. From the high
living of Legislative Halls to welding a
bedro pick, the transition cannot be
very agreeable nevertheless, in our SEN
ator's case, "sich is lile."
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

BUSINESS -LIKE.-Court House Square
presented lively appearance this week.
In addition to improvements already
noted, Tammany Hall has been prepared
for the Summer campaign. On the corner
opposite the Court House, new conner
has opened French barber-shop.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

CoLD WEATHER.-The standard quo
tation " Winter lingering in the lap OF
Spring" just fills the bill at this time.
1t is a common expression on the streets
that our March weather came in April.
Cold, clustering winds, blowing light
snow from the mountains, have been the
prevailing weather this week. Those
who had taken down their sitting-room
stoves missed it in SO doing.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

MEAT Observation-Disclosures in this
issue will be found the advertisement of
the Douglas City Meat Market. When
the people in that section do not get the
very best of meats, it is only because
Marshall cannot get it. Beef cattle, etc.,
can be bought only for cash, and it is
therefore necessary that butcher bills be
settled promptly every thirty days.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

THE San Francisco Chronicle says that
Assemblyman Tinnin, of Trinity, has
been stopping at the Cosmopolitan, and
that Alex. Montgomery, of the Mendo-
elmo Democrat, is going to be married to
Miss Annie Morrison, the lecturer.

SALMON JUMPING.-The salmon are
running up Trinity river and may be
seen jumping over the dam at Milestone
Bar, where at one time there was fish
way. We are told that the river is too
high to admit of their capture.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

BUSINESS CHANGE.-Mr. II. f. John
son, Forwarding and Commission Mer-
chant, of Red Bluff, has purchased the
business of Rantzau s. Shaw, of the same
place. Mr.. johnson is now the only for
wardng agent at Red Bluff.

ExPEcTED.-Hon.W w. J. Tinnin and
lady are expected home this (Friday) eve
ming. Mr.. Tinnin has, besides demon
strating his democracy, been attentive to
the wants of his constituents and prompt
ly secured all legislation he desired for
this county. He will be the favorite of
the Democracy of this section in the next
important Democratic Convention.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

RUNAwAY.--Last Tuesday morning
the dogs at Watson & Browns butcher
shop got into a row with the cat and
made such an uproar that horse attached
to wagon in front of the shop became
frightened and dashed off at furious
rate. Wagon slightly damaged-horse
badly scared.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

STRAY MULE.-In our advertising col
umns will be found an anxious inquiry
after stray mule. 1t is liberal trans
lation from the original and we trust will
be found ineligible.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

HOME AGAIN.-Louis Schall returned
last week from a business trip to San
Francisco, where hepurchased the largest,

the appearance of the upper end of town.
Me. says he will make big showing
when his new jewelry, etc., arrives.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

SUPERVISORS Met. - The Board of
Supervisors met sometime last week. AS
we heard nothing of it until they had
come and gone, we cannot report. 1t
appears that they met to authorize the
Assessor to appoint deputies and fix their
compensation. Alter doing this they
adjourned, and that is all we know about
the matter.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-04-13

IMPROVE Your PoULTRY.-
other new advertisements this week, will
be found that of Geo. b. Bayley, importer
and breeder of choice poultry. A letter
from our San Francisco agent, Mr.. L. p.
Fisher, indorses Mr.. Bayley as strictly
reliable and parties need have no hesitan-
cy about sending orders to him for either
eggs or fowls. Send stamp for illustrated
circular.

parties interested in mortgages is called

G. Trotter, County Recorder.

Big THING.-The claim of H. Lorenz
" Co., at North Fork, is paying we'll.
A new and very rich channel has been
found in these noted diggings. The fa-
vorable season has been turned to ad-
vantage, and a vast amount of earth run
off. The principal difficulty they have
experienced has been from more dirt
having been thrown out by their blast
than expected. Although they have in
vested large sum of money, they are
certain of handsome return.

A Methodist Beat.

One Of its pioneer preachers, eudoavoring
to introduce Methodism into some section Of
New England, was met at an appointment, at
a schoolroom. by one Of the ministers Of the
place, VINO proposed to confound the poor
Methodist by dem onstration his ignorance in
the presence Of the congregation. Having
awaited the conclusion Of the earnest sermon,
the learned reverend walked boldly up TO the
desk and addressed the preacher in Latin. To
the disappointment Of the scholars, tie Metho-
dist stood up to it bravely, giving him the
most polite attention; and, when be Lad ceased
Immediately replied in an easy manner, as if
nothing could have been more ineligible TO
him than Latin: " Hie riele Kinder lat lire
N,Hter ?" How many children has your moth
er? ?") The great scholar, with an utterly
puzzled look, vainly having endeayored to
scratch the meaning from cut lis head, replied
with bow: You will please excuse me,
sir. am rusty IN the Hejreir." As an addi-
tional point, it must be stated that the Metbo-
dist who had ventured bis entire stock Of Ger
man in the encounter was stared at by the con-
grega;ion as 4 Hercules in literature.

POETICAL.
DON'T LET MOTHER DO 1T.

Daughter, don't let mother do itl
Do not let her slave and toll;
While you sita useless idler,
Fearing your soft hands to soil.
Don't YOU see the heavy burdens
Daily she is wont to bear
Bring the lines upon her forehead
Sprinkle silver in her hair?
Daughter. don't let mother do it!
Do not let her bake or broil
Through the long. bright summer hours,
Share with her the heavy toll;
See, her eye has lost lis brightness,
Faded from her cheek the glow,
And the step that once was buoyant
Now is feeble, weak and slow.
Daughter, dou'tlet mother doitl
She has cared for YOU so long;
Is it right the weak and feeble
Should be toiling for the strong?
Waken from your listless languor,
Seek her side to cheer and bless,
And your grief will be less bitter
When the sods above her press.
Daughter, don't let mother do it!
You will never, never know
What was home without a mother
Till that mother lieth low
Low beneath the budding daisies,
Free from earthly care or pain
To the home so sad without her,
Never TO return again.
