A BLOODY AFFAIR.-Trinity River, a
few miles above Lewiston, was the scene
,ofa terrible occurrence on Saturday last.
ON that day Constable Dack, while work
ing in his claim in the river, was called
10 by Joseph Huott, or French Joe,"
trian George" and wished to surrender
tmself to the authorities. Dack and
Huott went before Justice Ross, of Lew
iston, when Huott desiring the aid OF
counsel and of an interpreter, the exam
hnation of the case was transferred to the
court of Justice Crowninshield, of Wea-
verville. The examination was set for
Tuesday morning, to afford time to pro-
cure the attendance of witnesses, in the
meanwhile the prisoner was required to
give bail in the sum of two thousand dol
lars. On Tuesday the examination was
resumed, District Attorney Clifford ap-
pearing for the people, and c. f. Will
liams for the defence. The only persons
present at the time the shooting occurred,
were Huott, his wife and the victim,
whose real name is Nicholas Criwich.
From the testimony addlced on exam
ination mainly given by Huott's wife, it
seems that for some time past Crwich
has been making improper advances to
Mrs. Huott, and cndeavoring to persuade
her to leave her husband and go with
him. fIuott, being informed of what
was going on became jealous. On Sat
urday there were eight or ten persons at
the house to dinner, all of whom left
when the meal was finished, except Cri-
witch, who remained. Huott shortly af-
ter started off, saying he was going to
hunt horse, but instead of SO doing he
slipped around and got into the cellar
where he could hear what was going on.
'Criwich, after trying to persuade Mrs.
Huott to leave her husband, attempted
to force her into bedroom, when Huott
came to the door and fired. The gun
was loaded with five buckshot, and the
charge passed through the face of Cri-
wich, shattering the jaws and roof of the
mouth terribly. Huott then left and sur
rendered himself to Dack, as stated
This is the version of the affair given by
the defence. Criwich is unable to speak
or write, but we understand he denies
the truth of this statement.
After being shot the wounded man
walked a mile and half, to Bolts Hill,
before he obtained assistance. He was
then conveyed to the county hospital, IN
this place, where DR. Montague is atte nd
ing on him. His wounds are dangerous
but not necessarily fatal.
The preliminary examination occupied
Tuesday and Wednesday, the evidence
being all taken down. Justice Crownin-
shield reserved his decision till ten o'clock
Thursday morning, when the prisoner
was discharged.

AT REsT.-Death has been among us
and claimed another victim, and now it
is from among the young and beautiful,
to whom the earth was but just unfolding
its bright visions of happy future. All
that was earthly of Miss Lizzie Loots
was consigned to the tomb on Sunday
mourning friends. For some months she
had been gradually failing, yet those
who loved her hoped almost against hope
that she would be spared to them, but
the hand of the dread destroyer could not
be stayed and on Saturday night her
spirit took its fight. To the bereaved
mother and sorrowing friends we tender
our heartfelt sympathy.

The Wear and Tear of Life.

The cares, anxieties and misfortunes of
life have as much to do with shortening
it as disease. They are in fact the source
of many ailments and physical disabili-
ties. Nervous weakness, dyspepsia, af-
fections 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 on
pressed with heavy business responsible
ties, or harassed by family troubles, or
excited by speculation, or perplexed by
multiplicity OF enterprises, or in any way
overtaxed or overworked, should keep up
their stamina BY the daily use of whloe-
some tonic. Thousands of persons thus
crcumstanced 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 exhausting
physical labor, are kept at bay by the re-
sistant power with which this incompara-
BILE tonic endows the nervous systems end
the vital organs. AT this season. when
the heat is evaporat;ng the elements of
strength from every pore, an invigorant
is absolutely essential to the safety and
comfort Of the public, and is required
even b. 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 a defense against the in
visible disease adoat in II sultry atmos-
phere. 1t is the most potent of all pre-
ventive medicines, and for all complaints
which affect the stomach, the liver and
bowels, and interfere with the perfect di-
gestion and assimilation of food, it is the
standard remedy. augS.

Low WATER,-We notice by our ex-
changes that this is a season in which the
streams generally are very low through
out the State. Trinity county is no ex-
ception. All the creeks have very little
water in them and the river itself is so
low that we waded it in one place with a
common pair of leather boots, dry footed.
As it will be couple of months before
the springs begin to start we shall proba-
bly, have, this year, the lowest stage of
water ever known by the whites.

different claims, which if true, will fur
nish more men with employment than
the upper Hay Fork section has had in

In NEW SHAPE.-The readers of the
JOURNAL will doubtless remember the
story entitled "a Headles Tale, or The
Scurvy Doctor" written for this paper
by "Jacinto" in the Spring of 1871. The

rounds of the papers with Joaquin Miller
as the reputed author. We never had
much admiration for Miller as writer
and if this is his manner of doing we shall
have less in future.

A Toad SToRY.-The toad which is
annually found alive in some place where
he was deposited before Noah's flood,
turns up this year at Point Bar. Frank
Marsh and Greenleaf dug a large toad
out of the solid gravel gravel about twen-
ty-fve feet below the surface. How his
toadship got into such close quarters we
cannot say, but there he was, the gravel
set SO firmly around him that the boys
had to dig the bank away before he could
be taken out.

A BEAR STORY" Jacinto" thus dis
courseth of moving adventure by fire
and flood" which happened under his OBJ
servation of late : s. Pard is a Nimrod
has thrty-two inch Remington rife,
which stands BIN principal, interest and
numerous boquets, the round sum of 500.
Pard, Is crack shot at 400 yards, will
ing to gamble on that distance. So much
by way of preface. On Thursday even
ing last he saw cinnamon bear within a
short distance of the house, but failed
somehow to bag his game--gun snapped,
he failed to put in a cartridge, or some
other unaccountable reason. On Friday
morning, Pard. was on the ground bright
and early with cartridge in this time,
sure, and no mistake. In few minutes
Bruin put in an appearance at distance
of about $50 yards /; Pard. took deliberate
aim and up turned the bear. IT'S said
that " distance lends enchantment to the
yiew," and so tproved in this particular
case, for near approach disclosed the
unwecome fact that the aforesaid de
funct bruin had horns on his head and
neighbor's brand on his ribs. Just then
the Remington rife took fall ; Pard. is
willing to sell his for fraction under
cost, together with the good will of the
establishment,
Psrd. feels thankful that 1t was not
man, bat somehow none Of us can dem
onstrate to him exactly where the laugh
comes in, you can't make him see it,
Perhaps the miner that shot the S2S deer
last Winter, with long ears and stripe
across his back can. We have referred
Nimrod to him.

over to act as clerk. In the eight years
that Mr.. Corbus has supplied the Indian
Creek section with goods, his mode of
business was such as to inspire confidence
in the community and concentrate at his
store the entire trade of that section.
None of "Andy's" customers cared to
look elsewhere to trade, satisfied that
they could do as well at as away from
home. His successors have the reputa-
ton of fair business men and we doubt
not will retain the goodwill of the com
munity to the last as Co.bus has done.

YOu are n Brick.

A certain college professor had assembled
his class at the commencement of the term,
and was reading over the list of names to
see that all were present. 1t CHANGED that
one of the number was unknown to the
professor, having just entered the class.
"What is your name, sir % asked the
professor, looking through his spectacles.
"You are brick" was the startling
reply.
"Sir," said the professor, half starting
out of his chair at the supposed imperti-
nence, but not quite sure that he had un-
derstood him correctly; "SirI did not ex-
actly understand your answer"
You are brick" was again the COM
posed reply.
"This is intolerable," +" said the professor,
his face reddening, Beware, young man
how you attempt to insulIme."l
"Insult you p said the student, in turn

A Funny Fight.

There was an American ship at Panama,
not long ago, and the, sailor boys thought
they would astonish the natives in the way
of cock-hghting. They had bald eagle,
which they transformed, by clipping Of
wings and ruthlessly pulling out Of tail,
into rooster of the most ridiculous aspect
imaginable. This nondescript animal was
entered for fight. The game cocks have
q way, when first placed in the ring, of
crouching and pointing at each other
Then they advance across the intervening
space, and meeting in the centre, with
heads erect and fury in every movement,
they fly at one another, each endeavoring
to drive his long steel spur into the head
or breast of his adversary. On this occa-
sion the Panama bird, victor in many
well-fought battle, began his usual tao
tics, while his clumsy adversary, nestled
quietly where he had been placed, and
paid no attention to him. Anticipating
an easy victory, the joyous game-cock now
advanced without ceremony, and deliver
ed one or two smart blows, somewhat
damaging the acquiline features of the
foe; whereat old Sleepy, without taking
the trouble to rise, quietly reached out a
claw, caught the frisky warrior and pulled
off his head This was unscientific but

swallowing a House.

John Haynes, while on a bender, recently
made mistake very natural to one in his
condition.
He imagined that he was indulging in
copious libations of benzine, when, in
fact, he was drinking genuine linseed oil.
Shortly after John felt queer taste
coming into hisimouth. The first thought
that occurred to him was that he was poi
soned. A physician was sent for, and he
applied a stomach pump.

inquired the patient.
"No," replied the Esculapius, 1T smells
like newly-painted house."
"What ?'' screamed John.

"Doctor," said the now excited patient,
"you don't mean to tell me that I've swal-
lowed a house ?'
