tribute 1900 piasters, was followed by

bark, but were repulsed by the national

of the attack. The town is now occu-
pied by Republican troops, who are de-
termined to maintain desperate re-
sistance.

FROM SAN JosE.-Under date of June
Goth Traveller" sends us the following !;
Arrived at lovely, dusty San Jose few
days ago, and am pleased with its gem
eral appearance however, if the dust was
not quite so deep it would be more at
tractive to strangers. Improvements are
being made in the streets which will, in
a measure, do away with this unpleas-
ant feature of the city. There are some
fine edifees here, prominent among
which are the State Normal School and
Court House buildings, and for architect
urai design and finish are not surpassed
by any | have seen. The pediment of
the Court House bears the inscription
" "Justiti@ Dedlcata" " in raised letters.
The Normal School opened on the 18th
inst, with the same attendance as last
year. San Jose has her quota Of Trinity
people. f. d. Ketcham, late of Hum
boldt county, is residing here. Miss
Addie G. Ketcham is now attending the
Normal School. Mr.. John Cochell came
here with your correspondent, and is
now at work in the california Agrtcul-
turtst office-a monthly, published by G..
W. Henning & Co. l understand they
will soon change it to weekly. M.
Oberdeener keeps drug store at Santa
Clara, three miles from this place, and is
said to be doing we'll. DR.. Davidson has
established himself at the New Almaden
quicksilver mines, near this place."

Medical POisOns on the Wane

The patriarchs took no mercury, no
bismuth, no iodine, no bromide of potass-
ium, no strychoria, no quinine. Happy
old gentlemen they didn't even know
of the existence of these specifics" and
yet they lived until it seemed as if Death
had forgotten them. Their medicines
were herbs and roots. They have left
this fact on record, and the world seems
to be now taking note of it and returning
to the first principles of medication. -
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the purest
and most eilicacious vegetable restorative
of the day, is also the most popular.
Thousands of persons who few years
ago believed in all the poisons in the med
ical pharmacepia, now pronounce this in
fallible tonic and expectorant an all-suffi-
cient remedy for dyspepsia, nervous de-
billy constipation, bilious complaints,
headache, intermittent fevers, and all the
ordinary disturbances of the stomach,
the liver, the discharging organs and the
brain. The time is not far distant when
most Of the powerful and venomous drugs
now SO recklessly administered by physi-
clans administered by practitioners of the
"heroic" school, in cases that might cas-
lily be controlled by mider treatment,
will be utterly discarded by all philosoph-
ical physicians. AS it is, the thinking
public, who are generally ahead of the
professionals, have already put the dan
gerous preparations aside and adopted
Hostetter's Bitters in their stead as safe
and excellent household medicine, adapt
ed to almost every ailment except the or
ganic and deadly contagious Diseases
For more than twenty years this famous
restorative and preventative has been an
nually Strengthening its hold upon the
public confidence, and it now takes the
lead of every advertised medicine manu-
factured in this country.

LIST OF LETTERS
n o M { NJ e w S i.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT. On We'd
nesday morning a messenger came to
town for DR.. Montague, bringing the
news that Nicholas Holman had fallen into
a mining claim and was seriously injured.
The circumstances connected with the
accident are these: Mr.. Holman lives
about mile from town, the claim in
which he is interested lying short dis
tance this side of his cabin. During the
past season the company had worked
away part of the old road and made q
new one in its stead, as is customary in
mining sections. Last Tuesday night
was very dark and a little rain falling.
AT about half past nine in the evening
Mr.. Holman started for home; at nine
O'Clock next morning he was found in his
claim considerably injured. Since the
accident Mr.. Holman has been "out of his
head" most of the time and unable to
give an ineligible account of the acci-
dent. 1t is more than probable, however,
that in the darkness which prevailed
Tuesday night he took the old road and
unwittingly stepped over the bank, falling
a distance of fifteen feet perpendicular
into the claim and landing on rock pile.
Some meat which he had with him was
found there and seems to confirm this
fact. The shock resulting from this fall
must have rendered him insensibe for a
time, but at some time during the night
he recovered enough to crawl about, and
in doing 50 rolled into a bedrock ditch,
whore he lay until found next morning.
DIR. Montague informs us that the re-
suits of the accident are broken thigh
bono, q rupture, severe contusions about
the head and numerous bruises about the
body. Mr.. Holman is nearly fifty years
OF age and the worst results were feared
from the exposure to which he had been
subjected, having lain on the cold, damp
bedrock, with light rain falling, for
about eleven hours. 1t was only through
unremitting efforts that a reaction was
established but we are pleased to note
that the Doctor thinks his patient will
get along all right. AT first indications
seemed to point to severe internal injuries
but later developments show that no dan
ger exists in that direction.

WILL CELEBRATE.-We are pleased
to know that there is patriotism enough
in at least one section of our county to
get up celebration on the Fourth Of
July. The people of Hay Fork Valley
will have Grand Picnic on that day, an
Grafton by Rev. Willis Alden, Reading
of Declaration Of Independence by Mr..
w. E. Lovett, and a Social Dance in the
evening. There is nothing of consequence
going to take place in any other section
of the county on the Fourth, and even if
there was we know OF no more pleasant
trip than a visit to Hay Fork Valley.
Everything possible will be done for
the comfort and entertainment of all who
attend the celebration there and its result
can be nothing short Of splendid time.
Everybody who can should attend, for it
will certainly be an enjoyable affair.

ASSESSMENT Roll. - Mr.. Paulsen,
County Assessor, informs us that not
withstanding the fact that the recent Su-
preme Court decision exempted all evil
dences of Indebtedness from taxation, the
Assessment Roll for Trinity county for
1884, will foot up nearly, if not quite,
as much as last year. With an equal
amount of property to be taxed a reduc-
tion in the amount of taxation may be
looked for.

New EXPRESS Mr.. E. T. Nevins
has purchased several horses and a pas
senger wagon with view to doing gen
eral Express business between Weaver
vile and Trinity Center. He will also
make occasional trips to Canon City,

points in the county. AS yet Mr.. Nevins
has not decided upon any regular time
for making his trips.

WHERE TO PURCHASE Liquors, ETC.
During our recent visit below we called
at the large wholesale liquor establish
ment of M. Goodwin & Co., at 4O7 Bat
terry street San Francisco. This firm is
constantly receiving large additions to
their stock of wines, liquors, ETC., and
we recommend them to the patronage OF
our merchants. Mr.. Goodwin is an old
Trinitarian, having mined for many years
on Oregon Gulch.

FEDERAL APPOINTMENT. = Advices
from Washington inform US that Hiram
Hayes, Of Lewiston, has been appointed
Postmaster at that place. AS our old
friend "H" had no stock in the Credit
Mobiier of America and was opposed to
the Back Pay Salary Grab, we consider
this appointment one eminently fit to be
made. We hope that Mr.. Hayes will
draw his salary of three dollars and twen-
ty-five cents per quarter without any
compunctions Of conscience, and that his
tongue may never wear out licking post
age stamps for interesting female letter
writers. We've been there, Hi, and
know how it is ourself.

will remember as being very cross-eyed,

geon from indianapolis and had his eyes

A WORD TO THE REPUBLICAN CoUN-
TY CoMMITTEE.-Elsewhere in our col
umns will be found a call upon the Re
publican County Committee to assemble.
We presume the principal business before
it will be the appointing the time and
manner of holding primaries in the differ
ent precincts and in this connection we
would suggest that no harsh, repelling test
be adopted. All who are really in sym
pathy with the Republican party and in
tend to support its nominees in the com
ing campaign should be invited to par
ticipate in the primaries and all others
excluded.

A SMASH UP.-George Vitzhum, who
supplies the Douglas City people with
wood, went up on the mountain above
his place, (near Ferry Barr on Monday
last, to haul wood down to the wagon
road. While loading the horses began to
rear and jump and though Vitzhum
grabbed the lines he could only check
them for a moment when they started
down the mountain at full speed. The
wagon soon began to go to pieces, one
wheel jumping forty or fifty feet at q
bound and finally lodging in deep hole
in the river, whence it had not been fshed
out at last accounts. The team was con-
siderably injured-one of the horses being
probably rendered useless. Vitzhum
thinks the horses stirred up a nest of
"yellow jackets" which gave them the
scare,
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-06-28

ANOTHER FIRE.-Doctor Croucher,
confirmed old sot, occupied cabin in the
rear of the China Church, where the
Heather Chinese were wont to congregate
and do homage at the feet of the mud idols
with which the place was populated. But
the ''old Doc" will never more sleep off
the effects of his Bacchanalian revels in
that cabin, nor will "the Heather in his
blindness" ever again bow down to
wood and stone" in that church. For
both cabin and church have gone the
way of many better buildings in these
days of disastrous conhagrations. Crouch
er having imbibed freely, as is his custom,
and going home late in a drunken condi-
ton, which, by the way is his usual state,
set his house on fre-undoubtedly by
accident. At least, on last Tuesday night
about lock his cabin was discovered
in flames. The people who were about
at that ho..r and some who who were
aroused from their slumbers rushed at
once to the rescue, but having no fire ap-
paratus nothing could be done toward
extinguishing the flames save throwing
water from buckets, which was of no
avail. The fire communicated with the
China Church, and there being no other
buildings adjoining, these two were all
that were burned. The night was still,
no wind blowing and light rain falling, all
of which served to keep the fire from
spreading to buildings in Chinatown,
which were only short distance away.
Had the high wind Of the past week pre-
vailed Tuesday night we would this week
have chronicled 'another big fire in
Weaverville," for nothing could have
saved the lower end of town. AS it is,
the buildings destroyed, and their con-
tents, were of very little value. Doc.
Croucher mourns the loss of very valu-
able library consisting of vol. Patent
Office Reports. l vol. Ayers Almanac
and one Dime Novel, also an assortment
of broken -stemmed clay pipes and nu-
merous empty whisky bottles, all of
which we believe was fully insured in the
King Alcohol Insurance Co. Fires are
becoming of almost weekly occurrence
and it appears to us that fire apparatus
would be a profitable investment for town
as large as Weavervile and one where
the danger is SO great.
