ing passed through the day Of doubtful exist
ence, it stands on as sure foundation as that Of
any similar company in the country. Among

after two or three annual premiums shall have
been made.
Second. 1t loans to its policy-holders nine
tenths of the cash value of each policy Tor any
period for which the premium may have been
paid. b..
Third. 1t endorses on each policy the amount
of paid-up insurance that can be had on its sur
render, after the payment Of two or three an
nual premiums.
Fourth. It's rates are as low as those of any
other company.
Fifth: Its dividends have been larger than
those of any other company of its age.
Sixth. Its policies contain no unnecessary or
illiberal restrictions.
Seventh. 1t aids In building up our home in
terests, investing its large means here among us,
thereby not Draining our State Of her life blood.

SOMEWHAT D0GMATICAL. - We like
dogs. The dog will leave his own race
to follow the fortunes of man, and in good
or in evil repute, he will stand up for his
friend and master. We remember when
Mr.. Assemblyman Tully advocated the
repeal Of the Dog Tax" he said that
the dog was not to be looked upon as the
property, but as the TREND and compan-
ion OF man. We coincided in that senti-
ment Of Mr.. Tully although we could
not support the repeal of the dog tax,
and we lost votes at the next election
here in consequence. But the love which
we feel for the canine race does not eX-
tend to that troop which congregatcs ev-
cry night in front Of the Court House,
to yelp and howl in unison. AS we lie
vainly trying to court slumber, we only
wish that Caleb Cushing, who has now
appealed TO the courts to vindicate the
right OF an American to sleep despite the
watchdog's honest bark" were here ia
champion our cause for us. We have
appealed to watchman Bowler; but the
hints thrown out in reference to his being
largely reimbursed for any outlay that he
might be at for strychnine were passed
unhceded. In the near future, however,
there looms up glcam Of hope and we
are happy. Colder weather is coming on
us and the season for fresh sausages will
soon be here.

VoTING.-For the benefit of those who
are not versed in the intricacies of the
Codes we give synopsis of that portion
of the Election law, which defines the
manner of voting. Printed ballots must
be on paper furnished from the office of
the Secretary of State. A person desir-
ing to vote will fold his ticket four times
crosswise from the center, making the
ballot three-fourths Of an inch wide, it
must then be pressed fat. No person
must fold or unfold, within one hundred
feet of the polls, or exhibit to another
the ticket he intends voting, nor can any
ballot be used which is marked in such a
manner on the back as will indicate its
contents. Tickets cannot be given to
any person within one hundred feet of
the polls, except by an inspector, or judge
acting as an inspector. No ticket must
be folded in such way as to indicate its
contents, nor must any ticket be marked
in any manner that will show that it was
voted by any person or by any class Of
persons. When two tickets are folded
together they shall both be rejected. If
ballot is found in the ballot box which
has upon the outside any mark, impress
sion, device, color or thing, or is folded
in such manner designed to distinguish
it from other ballots, it shall be rejected,
or if a ballot contains any mark, color
or impression, or is folded in such man
ncr as to indicate the person who voted
the ballot it must also be rejected. The
voter hands his ballot to the Inspector or
one Of the judges, at the same time an
nouncing his name and the number aflix-
ed to it on the printed copy of the Great
Register, copy Of which, for the conve-
nience Of voters is posted at the polls.
Persons whose names are not on the
printed Great Register, must present the
Inspector a Certificate of Registration in
this county.
AS soon as the polls are closed the
Board of Election proceeds to canvass
the vote. This is donc'by taking out of the
ballot box the ballots unopened, and
counting the same to ascertain if the
number Of ballots correspond with the
number Of votes on the list of voters kept
by the Clerks. When the voting is COM
pleted, one copy Of the tally list, the
Great Register used by the Board, to
mark the names of voters, the ballots,
and all records of challenges, etc., kept
by the clerks, must be sealed up and de-
livered by member of the Board to the
County Clerk.

THE ALTITU DIES. - For many years
when people wanted to know the attitudes
Of different points near this place, they
could readily ascertain the facts by refer
ence to the table which our friend Huds-
peth kept posted in his tailor shop. But
the fire last Spring swept away both tailor
shop and table, and since he has rebuilt,
there is a something wanting in that shop
which nothing but another table can sup
ply. To remedy this deficiency and as n
matter Of local interest we reprint the
following, showing the height of different
places above the sea-: Shasta, l ,lG6 feet;
Bally, (near Shasta) 6,375; Tower House,
l,349; Summit of Weaverville and Shasta
Wagon Road, 1864; Buckhorn Station,

The Wear and Tear of Life.

The cares, anXieties and misfortunes of
! life have as much to do with shortening
1t rs disease. They are in fact the source
of many ailments and physical disabili-
ties. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, at-
| tections Of the liver, disturbances of the
! bowels, headache, hypochondria and
monomania are among these distressing
fruits. 1t is therefore, of great import
ance that persons whose minds are op-
pressed with heavy business responsible
ties, or harassed by family troubles, or
excited by speculation, or perplexed by a
multiplicity of enterprises, or in any way
overtaxed or overworked, should keep up
their stamina by the daily use Of whloc-
some tonic. Thousands of persons thus
circumstanced are enabled to bear up
against the difficulties in which they are
involved, and to retain their strength,
health and mental clearness, by the reg
lar use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Diseases which are prone to attack the
body when debilitated and broken down
by over much brain work or exhaustng
physical labor, are kept Mt bay by the re-
sistant power with which this incompara-
BILE tonic endows the nervous systems and
the vital organs. At this season, when
the heat is evaporating the elements of
strength from every pore, an invigorant
is absolutely essential to the safety and
comfort Of the public, and is required
even by the more robust if they desire to
keep their athletic capabilities in status
quo. Hence course of Hostetter's Bit
ters is particularly useful at this period
of the year as defense against the in
visible disease afloat in sultry atmos-
phere. 1t is the most potent of all pre-
ventve medicines, and for all complaints
which affect the stomach. the liver and
bowels, and interfere with the perfect di-
geston and assimilation of food, it is the
standard remedy. aug-S.

COUNTRY ADJUSTMENTS. = We shall
take no chances of a broken head by
vouching for the veracty of what follows,
and as all men are not ambitious of news
paper fame, that fact will account for our
not being particular about mentioning
names. But, as our readers all know,
the country is full Of ''yellowjackets," "
and we don't know Of any one who is par
ticularly "stuclx" after that little insect.
The yellowjacket has wonderful pen
chant for fresh meat and the knowledge
of this fact led the father Of family, on
Sunday last to concoct a plan for their
wholesale destruction. The younger son
went and shot ground squirrel, which
was cut into pieces and laid on the ground,
when armed with barrel stave each,
the family sat down to commence the
work of determination. When one was
killed dozen came to carry off the slain,
until the pile of dead and crippled yell
lowjackets mounted into the hundreds.
All went we'll until one yelowjacket,
with moro enterprise than his fellows,
thought to "carry the war into Africa"
and lit on the old genteman's bare foot.
Then the boy, whose barrel stave had
been going up and down like the "walk-
ing beam" of a steam engine, came to the
rescue, the stave changed its downward
direction slightly, there was little
'thud," and and mangled yellowjacket
on the old gentleman great toe. The
old man didn't swear, oh no, he is not
addicted to profanity. He rubbed that
great toe some, and talked earnestly to
himself-and to his boy. Then he ereach-
cd out his hand with "A gentle but firm
grasp and extended his hopeful son across
the parental knee. Then there was a
moments silence, broken only by the
humming of the yellowjackets as they
hovered over the remains of the squirrel
and then the old gent raised his barrel
etave and proceeded to smash the naughty
insects which might have lodged in the
seat of the brceches of his darling boy.
llleTc lhusI HuNe occh many " ohc iHc'c
for he labored at it until quite out Of
breath.
To-day there is seat vacant in the
district school and that boy prefers TO
eat his meals while standing up. The
old gentleman will probably call on us
and pay up his subscription to the jour
NAL as soon us he is able to draw on Il

TRINITY CENTER AMATEURs.-We
paid flying trip to Trinity Center on
Tuesday, but as our visit was necessarily
limited, we did not have much time to
look around us. The Trinity Center
Amateurs gave their promised entertain
ment on that evening, and all acquitted
themselves to the satisfaction of the audi
ence, the acting of the Misses Coyle being
specially admired. There was not large
attendance of ladies and the dance, after
the entertainment lasted only an hour or
so. A local song, written and sung by
w. S. Conway, contained a number of
good hits and elected much merriment.

GOLD DIsCovERIEs.-From the Lake
County Bee, of August 23d, we learn
that Messrs. John Burger and John j.
Goodin left that county on prospecting
tour some time since, going into the
mountains by way of Round Valley and
Eel river. Somewhere near the line of
Mendocino and Trinity counties they
came to a creek with a good stream of
water and numerous tributary gulches,
They prospected this creek for distance
of ten miles, finding "color" all the way,
and heard of one party Of four men who
were working on it. The editor of the
Bee saw some of the gold brought back
by the party; its character is that of
gulch gold, two of the pieces weighing
about n dollar each. The existence Of
rich gold deposits near the locality men
toned has long been known to some old
Trinitarians, and several attempts were
made some years ago to re-discover the
place. The presence Of numel Gus hostile
Indians made it dangerous undertaking
however, and the attempt was abandoned.
OF late years, though the Indians have
been subdued, we believe no prospecting
parties have gone out. According to
stories told by the Indians in early times,
mines were discovered there in 80 or
81, by two men who were killed by In.
dians, and their tools left right where they
were working. They were said to have
had rich diggings and very coarse gold.

New DITcH.-Messrs. Post & Glover,
have dug new ditch from a small gulch
below Evans Bar, to the high bench of
Arkansas Dam. The ditch is something
over mile in length and in wet seasons
will supply fair head of water. They
have been at work on the ditch by odd
spells for three months back and will
have it completed in week or two more.
