TOWN AND COUNTY.

TRINITY CENTER" p. Ratie" writes
us that personal earthquakes-ague-is
the prevailing malady in that, at present,
snow clad village. Blue-mass, quinine,
Ayers Ague Cure and McLane's Liver
Pills are reported as staple articles in that
market. Everybody idle, just now, on
account of snow bitches all showed up
and miners can't work. Prospects are
very bright, however, for good Spring
and Summers work.
The only flourishing enterprise this
place can boast of at present is a we'll
organized game of Pedro" with a cash
capital of about four dollars and six bits.
When tocll-holder gets busted, he i'm
mediately declares dividend, the man
who has the most stock on hand divides
with him, and the game goes on.
The January fights, for "a, commenced
the other day and resulted in one glass
tumbler being broken and one eye slight
ly shaded, but no blood.
Christmas and New Years passed of
very quietly. The Hoodlun. Bell-RingeIs
were out on New Years Eve. The per-
formance, TO have been given on New
Years night by the Home Dramatic
Troupe of this place, was postponed until
Jan. 10th, on account Of the fiddler being
afflicted with two Of Jobs comforters
under his right arm.

Two Foes OF Health.

Cold and damp are inimical to health,
and we generally have an unwholesome
combination of the two at this season
They penetrate the skin and integumcnts
and affect the mucular, gAndular and
nervous organizations, producing rheu-
matism, neuralgia, chills and fever, and
where there is a tendency TO dyspepsia,
or liver complaint, provoking an attack
of indigestion or billiousness. The best
advice that can be given under such cir
cumstances is to keep the external sur
face of the body warmly clothed, and to
keep the internal organs in vigorous
working order with the most wholesome
and genial of all tonics, Uostetter's Stom-
ach Bitter. Gradually bat constantly
this famous invigorant is superscdng the
aduterated liquors of commerce, rs a
medicinal stimulant and corrective, in
all parts of the country. 1t will be
happy day for humanity, and it will sure
ly come, when this pure restorative shall
have taken the place OF raw spirits as a
stimulant in all our private and public
hospitals. 1t is not, however, merely
harmless substitute for the fiery stimu-
lants referred to. Its stimulating prop
critics are not its chief merits, although
in this regard it surpasses all the unmed-
icated products Of the still, domestic or
imported. The powerful influence it ex-
ercises over the torpid and toneless stom-
ach, the disordered liver, the constipated
bowels, and the relaxed nerves, render
it a positive specific in dyspepsia, liver
complaint, intestinal construction, nerv-
Gus weakness, hypochondra, rheuma-
tism and sleeplessness. All chronic com
plants are aggravated by cold, moist
atmosphere, and it is therefore particu-
larly necessary for those who are afflicted
with ailments Of this nature, whatever
their type may be, to meet this predis
posing cause of sickness with a whole
some antidote. Hostetter's Bitters should
be taken daily at this season by all per-
sons laboring under chronic ailments
that tend to weaken the system. jail.

Of the reports 0f the Commissioners Ois
MHiHg NahStics, these carefully pre-
pared and otherwise useful publications,
have failed to keep the world duly posted
in regard to the condition and progress of
mining affairs on the Pacific Coast, the
information conveyed through this me-
dium being already many months old by
the time it reaches the eye OF the general
public. With view to furnishing fresh
intelligence on mining topics, and bring
ing the history OF this great industry down
10 the most recent date, the undersigned
will, on or about the first of February
next, issue q large octave volume, de-
voted TO consideration Of mining mat
ters, rs they exist at the present time, in
the States of California and Nevada. In
the fulfllment Of this purpose the author
will at once visit every important district
and locality in these States that has not
already been lately examined or heard
from through reliable channels, to the
end that the information embodied in this
volume may be recent and authentic.
The great aim will be to fill the book with
live practical matter; wherefore, only
such properties as have been brought to
productive condition, or as have, through
developments made, established for them
selves good degree Of actual or pros
pective merit will receive attention nor
will any notice bo bestowed on processes
or appliances other than such as have met
with approval after extended working
tests.
This work will be printed on the best
ouaIity OF paper, and be elegantly and
Substantially bound, the design being to
impart to it such mechanical excellence
as will reflect credit upon the book max

THE present Legislature, in its unpre-
codented wisdom, has changed the SPELL
ing ofthe name ofRedding, Shasta Co., to
Reading. The town was originally nam
cd for b. B. Redding, of Sacramento,
but it was done by the Railroad Company
and our virtuous legislators couldn't bear
it. They evidently think that "a rose by
any other name," wouldn't smell as
sweet" But they probably did it on the
ground of economy, as it don't take as
much ink to make an a as it does to make
q. Verify, after all, there must be some
difference between tweedledum and twee-

ELECT ROAD OVERS EERs. A petition
is now in circulation here praying the
Legislature that the Road Law be so
amended that Road Overseers in this

of being appointed by the Board of Su-

State Road Oyerseers are elected, and we
believe this way of choosing them will
give better satisfaction than appointing.

We have imported since the LIST of January mer-
chandise to the amount of so, 6S6, 652. In the
corresponding period Of last year the amount
was S., AL 62l. The difference is nearly twelve
millions. The exports this year have amounted

that OF last year amounts to upwards Of fifteen
