FLASHED IN THE PAN.--The Board
OF Supervisors of Shasta county last week
had under consideration the matter of
fixing the rates of toll on certain wagon
roads-notably those leading into this
County. The Clerk Of the Board, after
some time, trouble and expense, procured
copy of the law, passed last Winter,
relative to the matter, and which was
presumed to invest the Supervisors of
Shasta and Trinity with power to fix the
rates of toll on said roads. In report
of the matter, the Courier says: 1.-THE
amended Law, as received, does not make
any material change in that respect. If
there is any other law which does, the
Board has no legal knowledge of it, and
consequently cannot act in the promises" !"
Never having seen copy Of the law, we
know not the difficulty, but have been
informed that the Act of last Winter
failed to repeal that section of the Civil
Code which relates to the matter, and
therefore the legislation had is Of no
effect, the law to-day being exactly the
same as before the question was agitated.
1t is now in order for somebody to rise
and explain why this thing is thusly.

The IScaSon why.

THE QUESTION Is DAILY ASKED BY
THOUSANDS OF OUR CITIZENS, why
IL IL that the IXI. Bitters HAVE A.
CHlEVED SUCH POPULARITY WITH THE
PUBLIC, AND HAVE SUCH AN IMME
SALE ?" THE REASON IS BECAUSE
THEY ARE AN OLD AND WELL-ESTAB-
LISHED ARTICLE AND AREMADE FROM
THE MOST CHOICE HERBS AND ROOTS ;
THE MANY WHO HAVE TRIED THEN
TESTIFY TO THEIR BENEFICIAL QUAIL
TIES, AND HAVE NO HESITATION IN
RECOMMENDING THEM TO THEIR Az
FLlCTED FRIENDS.
THEY ARE ACKNOWLEDGE TO BE
THE BEST TONIC AND RECUPERATOR
KNOWN ; THEY BUILD UP THE SYSTEM
AND IMPART STRENGTH TO THE WEAK
AND EXHAUSTED, AND ARE ENDORSED
AND RECOMMENDED BY OUR MOST
EMINENT PHYSICIANS (as per certificates

BRIDGE GOING.-Parties from Douglas
City inform us that during the late high
water, Smiths bridge across Trinity river
at that place, was damaged to such an
extent as to render it unsafe. A floating
tree or log struck the bent which supports
the main span, in manner which seems
to have wrenched the posts from the
mudsill, leaving the span with but little
support. This bent is directly in the
current, so that nothing can be done to-
ward repairing the damage until low
water, before which time the entire span
is liable to go out. The damaged bent
was put in during the Winter of 1868,
and the break shows that the timber is
perfectly sound. The injured span is the
most expensive one forming the bridge,
and should it go out entirely, it is ques-
tionable whether it will be rebuilt. AL
though it is generally thought to have
been damaged by drift, Mr.. Smith don't
think so, as the sheathing is not broken.
Thursday last, a wagon with a load Of
abou. thirty hundred, crossed the bridge
safely, the injured span apparently sus-
tanning the load as well as any other.

HENARKABtE CHANGES. An incident
recently related to US will be appreciated
by all the good people who regularly pc
ruse the columns OF the TRINITY JOUR-
NAL. The narrative runs thusly: Two
enterprising miners worked together dur
ing the past Winter in one of the out
side mining camps of this county. A
few days ago they came to Weaveryille,
sold their dust, DIVIDED the coin and
separated for few hours, saying that
they would meet at dinner-time, if not
before. Now, it so happened that each
conceived the idea OF investing in "good
Clothes" and at once acted upon it. The
flannel shirts, duck pants, slouch hats,
etc., were dohed and soon replaced with
a profusion of fashionable attire the
barber-shop was visited by each hair
was trimmed, face shaved and boots
BACKED. At noon, No. went to dinner
at the hotel, and shortly afterwards n
stranger entered the dining-room and
seated himself at the opposite side of the
table. The meal was consumed in silence
and No. !, on leaving the dining-room,
inquired of the landlord
Who was that gentlemanly-looking
fellow sitting opposite me ?"
" Why" replied the landlord, smiling,
that's your partner, Mr.. -"
"All right" said No. she didn't
know me-" and, seeing the other ap-
preaching, he walked away.
Just then No. came up and asked the
landlord
Do you know that man ?"
Yes, sir"
"Who is he ? think I've seen him
before"
"Quite likely; you worked with him
all Winter"
The devil Hello, Pard, let's take
something"
They smiled.

Seeing Is Relieving.

If in this liberal age there are persons
to be found who are so blinded by preju-
dice as not to believe that medicated
stimulant is an item Of immense import
ance in the catalogue of human remedies,
we should like them to witness the won
derful effects which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters are now producing all over the
country in cases of intermittent fever,
rheumatism, bilious disorders, dyspepsia,
nervous complaints, constitutional debili-
ty, mental depression and premature de-
cay. To be sure these effects are nothing
new. The great vegetable invigorant and
its cures have been before the people for
more than twenty-five years, and in every
year of the twenty-five its popularity has
increased and its sale has become larger.
Yet there are no doubt many thousands
Of intelligent citizens who have never had
an opportunity Of observing for them
selves the surprising changes which this
unequalled tonic and Alternative produces
in systems which seem to be hopelessly
broken and in cases of disease which are
not amenable to ordinary remedies -
Probably many of these regard the state
ments made in relation TO the sanitary
properties of the Bitters with some degree
of increduity. Would that all such
skeptics could see with their own eyes
what the medicine is doing for the sick
and feeble everywhere, what staff of
life it is proving to the aged and infrm,
what help in time Of trouble to feeble
women suffering from the complaints and
disabilities peculiar to the sex, what "A
