MISCELLANEOUS.
The True Grounds of Confidence.

Whence comes that firm reliance, that
absolute, undoubting faith in the efficacy
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a rem
edy for Indigestion, bilious disorders, inter-
mittent and remittent tevers, 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;
1t 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 pre-
ventive, escape periodical tevers, and
their immediate neighbors, who neglect
this precaution, are prostrated by the dis
sease, how is it possible that the phenom-
enon should be without its lesson? 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? Eye witness
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
have all felt or witnessed its benitcent OPP
erations. 4apr.

SCHOOL ELECTIoN.-Th Trustees of
Wcaverville School District have called
an election for one Trustee to serve three
years in the place of Richard Clifford,
whose term will soon expire. The polls
will be opened at the school house this
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and
close at 5 o'clock. We have heard the
name of Mr.. Clifford mentioned for re-
election, but no new ones. AS the emol-
uments of the office consist principally in
being growled at, we do not suppose that
candidates will be very numerous. A
little opposition, however, might make
our citizens take more interest in this
election than they would otherwise.

A CALIFORNIA PLAY.-We have re-
ceived a copy Of Early California" a
drama, by VIM. Bausman, with compli-
ments of the author. This play has been
very successful and has already netted
the writer handsome sum. The most
exciting events of the play are located at
Texas Bar, in this county, during the
year 1855. The public have passed upon
its merits and pronounce it good. We
know not whether il has escaped the OBJ
servation of others, but an encore song
which says, "The iron horse is waiting "
and refers to Pullman cars" is quite a
stretch Of poetic license when supposed to
be sung on Trinity river in 1855. The
plot is partly comic, partly tragic, partly
sentimental, and winds up with consider
able true love, fair share of checkmated
villainy and more than average quanti-
ty of bloody murder.

OPTICAL lLLUsIoN.-We have heard
stories of all kinds regarding hunters and
their exploits, but the following case Of
mistaken identity, which actually occur
red on Trinity river one day last week.
is but another instance that "truth is
stranger than fiction" Believing, with
Shakespeare, that "an honest tale speeds
best being plainly told," we give the sim
pie facts, leaving the readers Imagination
to supply any apparent omission: Two
men went out hunting, each armed with
sixteen-shooter Henry rifle. One shot
and wounded deer, which scampered
up the hillside, with both hunters in hot
pursuit. The wounded deer being the
tleetest, it reached the top of the divide
first and continued down the other side.
Arriving at the top of the hill short
time after the deer had crossed, our hunt
crs stopped to blow" and take view
of the situation, when one of them dis
covered, only short distance below, in
the brush, what he supposed to be the
deer. Raising his rifle and taking delib-
crate aim, he fired, but was astonished at
finding that the animal did not move
His comrade then fired, but with the same
result, whercupon both were seized with
the buck fever" and alternately fired
at their unlucky game, until both guns
were emptied. Still the animal had
moved but little, and that little in the
direction of its assailants. Cursing his
unlucky luck, one of the hunters raised
his eyes and discovered the wounded deer
slowly making its way up the opposite
ridge, about a mile distant. Here was II
mystery to be solved. What had they
shot all their ammunition at I? Investi-
cation proved that the animal which had
stood so long as a target for them was a
Jenny" belonging in the neighborhood, ,
and that they had succeeded in hitting her
nine times. Expecting that the Jenny
would of course die, they fastened to her
owner, told what they had done and paid
him $50, which was the value he set upon
the animal. We now learn that the
Jenny was not seriously injured and will
soon recover.

ONE OF THE SHORT HAIRs.-There is
section of Trinity county, lying beyond
Hay Fork, which rejoices in the eupho-
NOUS name of Kettenchow. This region,
although rich in agricultural and mineral
resources, is as yet sparsely populated,
owing to the fact that it lies far remote
from the great centers of trade and travel
such as Weaverville. However the pop
ulation is steadily increasing and there is
a number Of children in the valley. 1t
is only when the Tax Collector or As
SCISSOR makes his annual pilgrimage to
kettenchow that the people there see an
outsider, and the advent of such an Off
cial is considered as an epoch in the his
tory of the place. Men, women and
children crowd around him, all being
anxious to catch a glimpse of the stranger
and to hear some tidings from the outer
world. This much by way of introduc-
ton to a tale which we as a faithful chron-
icler of passing events are compelled to
unfold. Now, be it known, that short
time since the Deputy Assessor of Trinity
county was obliged to visit Kettenchow
in the discharge of his official duties, and
like faithful officer, as he is, did so.
And, be it further known, that said De-
putty Assessor is the possessor of a head,
which said head is almost entirely desti-
tute of the usual capillary substance COM
monty known as hair-in other words he
is very bald. In fact the top of his head
has been likened unto the full moon-but
we will not enlarge upon this point, but
continue our narrative. The officer was
on an assessing tour, and calling upon one
of the residents presented the usual blank
on which to make out list of all assess
able property in his possession. BY the
time the list was completed, quite crowd
of children had gathered around him, yet
keeping a respectful distance. Having
great reverence for an oath, as all good
people should have, the Assessor took off
his hat when he swore the property-owner
as to the truthfulness of his statement,
thereby unluckily revealing his bare head
to the wondering gaze of the assembled
youngsters, who evidently had never be-
fore seen the like. They stood upon tip
toe and climbed upon stumps, to get
better view, when finally one of the boys
advanced little nearer than any of his
companions had dared, stretched himself
to his full hight, and gazing intently upon
the "place where the hair ought to be-"
exclaimed 81 sag, Mister, acho cut
yOur lair ?"

Lost Health Observation-Disclosures

As a rule men are more SOLICITORS 20 repair
and preserve their houses, stock in trade and
other perishable property than to repair
and preserve themselves. They can see when
a wan requires a prop, or a weak structure a
girder, but appear to be unconscious OF, or in
different TO, the cracks and flaws and evil
dences Of decay in their own frail and sensi-
tive organizations. The consequence of this
want of common prudence is that thousands
fall by the wayside in the prime of life every
year who might have lived TO enjoy a hale
and hearty old age, II they had resorted to the
proper means of recruiting their falling vigor
at the proper time. Seeing what that famous
vitalizing and invigorating elexir, Hostetters
stomach Bitters, has done for countless null
titudes OF the enervated and broken Gown,
and with the long, unbroken record of its
cures before him, IL seems amazing that any
sufferer from premature decay, nervous weak
ness, dyspepsia, biliousness, chronic constipa-
ton, or disease of a remittent or intermittent
character, should delay even for an hour to
seek the aid which its toning, regulating and
invigorating properties have never failed to
afford. 1t is no exaggeration to say that Hos
letters Stomach Bittsrs is the most faithful
ally of nature, in her struggles with weakness
and disease, that medical botany and honest
chemistry have yet given to the world.
