FIRE AT THE FREIeHT DEPoT.-A large pile
Of cedar ties strewn along the railroad track
at the freight depot caught fire Wednesday
morning from sparks Of apassing engine, and
about $1,000 70 $1,000 damage was done before
the flames could be checked. Owing to the
scarcity Of water, the fremen worked under
great disadvantage, and only by the greatest
efforts did they prevent the burning of ada
cent buildings II those cisterns-which we
mentioned Wednesday were to be builtKby
the city for that locality-had been in readi-
ness, the loss would probably have been much
less
Hereafter we intend 10 have the fires occur
later in the day, 50 that the whole city cannot

worthy gentleman and man well fitted for
his profession. We wish the young gentlemen

DWARF MULEs.-At Miller's stable can be
seen pair of dwarf mules brought here from
Zacatecas, Mexico, by Mr.. Wash. Tong.
They are little novelties, smaller than Charley
Noyes's circus mules, being but three feet
high. They have regular rhinosceros noses,
crooked and ill-shaped. and their upper teeth
are shaggy and project beyond their under
teeth, giving them the appearance of naughty
children making faces at their grandmas.

night reports that when he was riding along

horse suddenly SHE'D, and that on looking to

from a limb of tree short distance from

a colored man, and, as he supposed, the party

Omr Dormant EnergIes.


Our bodies are not as vigorous, nor our
minds as clear as they might be. This
remark is true of at least two-thirds of
civilized society, and Of these two thirds
probably one halt is aboring under bodi-
ly infirmties of a character likely to shor-
ten the lives of the sufferers. This is a
melancholy exhibit and furnishes abund-
ant food for reflection. Can the evil be
mitigated ? 1t can. Lack Of vitality is
the primary cause of most OF the physical
and mental suffering to which we are sub
jected, and therefore vitalizing medic
inal agent is the remedy required. Is
there such medicine There Is. Hos
letters Stomach l}iltcrs will rouse and
energize the mind and body when the
life power OF the system is in a eompara-
lively dormant state. The la1gjd, lee
ble, de, ponding invalid is not aware of
the latent energies that underlies his de-
bilty. He thinks there is no element Of
vigpr lett in bis frame, when the fact Is
that his physical capabilities are merely
asleep and require waking. Let him
stimulate and tone his natural machinery
and endow it with new motive power,
through the agency OF this Incompatible
invig0rant, and he will scon feel like
new man. or rather like man who has
received new lease OF life, and the req
uisite health TO enjoy II. Many business
men suffer from chronic languor and de-
preston caused by too close application to
business. Hard students are eften OPP
pressed with melancholy from a like
cause. 4, Mechanics and working men are
affected ia the same way as the result OF
over-labor. To all who are in this cond-
ton, from whatever cause, Hostetter's

TOWN AND COUNTY.

W. d. 4&. II. NJ. Co.-Last Thursday
we visited the works of the 'Weaverville
and Hydraulic Mining Company, on the
Oregon Gulch and West Weaver Divide,
and found everything progressing favor
ably. Two hundred and fifty men are en-
ployed on the ditch, which will probably
be completed in two weeks from the date
of this paper. OF the three and three
ruarters miles of ditch, two miles and q
half are now finished, and perhaps more
than half the work on the remaining mile
and quarter is done. One mile and a
half of the ditch, on the upper end, is al
most entirely in rock, but of favorable
character-blas;ing easily, and working
as well as rock ever does. Not foot of
flume is required on the line of the ditch
and only one tunne l-about so feet thro'
point of rock.
In the claim, fumes and undercurrents
are 'being made and placed in position,
and everything there will be in running or
der by the time water can be got through
the entire length of the ditch. The
reservoir, cut and tunnel have been
completed and as soon as water can be
had q hole will be sluiced out for the res
ervoir. The iron pipe is nearly ali made
and has only to be put in position. 1t
will no doubt require several days, after
the ditch is completed, to get the water
through and on the whole we are of the
opinion that work will not be commenced
in the mine until about the 18th day of
June. Although this is somewhat later
than many interested parties confidently
expected, it is in reality early, when we
consider the extent and character of the
work which had to be done. The weather
has also been very misunderstanding
much of the time, so that the Cinnamon
employed would not work. Many per-
sons from other and older and more ad
vanced mining counties have visited this
ditch and unanimously speak of it as the
best and prettest piece Of ditch in the
State. And when work in the claim
commences, it will prove to be the richest
mine in the State.

INSTINCT OF THE Fox. Books are fill
ed with anecdotes Illustrative of the in
stinct Of the Fox, and we beg to add our
contribution. Last Saturday we saw an
old "black" Fox and young fox,
mounted upon horse which was plod-
ding leiSurely along the road. If the Fox
has not been tanned, he has evidently no
fear of the human race, as he did not offer
to take to cover" as We approached.

GoGD TINES CoMING.--Already the
good effects of new mining enterprises in
this county are sensiby felt, and the work
is not yet commenced. Several gigantic
ditching and mining operations are pre-
pairing in San Francisco and elsewhere,
at the present time. all having the gravel
beds OF Trinity county toi their objective
points, and the present Summer viii see
them inaugurated. Nor twenty-five years
the gold taken from our hills and gulches
has flown outward in steady stream to
enrich o;her and more favored localities.
But at last the the tide has turned and we
may now reasonably expect an influx of
capital to build up and advance our coun-
ty, and in short time place Trinity where
she rightfully belongs--in the front ranks
OF the placer mining counties of Califor-
MIA. And such will be the fact.

A NEEDLE IN CHILD's SHOULDER.
One day this week Mrs. Felix Kilgore,
while dressing her little boy, babe OF IL
OF II months, noticed strange swelling
near the shoulder which made her fear
that it was out of place. DR.. Lord was
called in and upon examination proceeded
to cut in and discovered the end of a nee
die which he extracted. The needle was
of large size, more than one and one-half
inches long and was blaekened from end
to end showing it had been there some
time. When or how the needle got bur
led in the child's body, is mystery
which none OF the family can account for.

derstcod that this law applies to firms do.
ing business under such names as Smith
Il Brown, John Smith Il Co., as well as
designations purely fictitious, but not to
firms which give the full names of all the
partners,
" Every partnership transacting busi-
ness in this State under fictitious name
or a designation net showing the names
of the persons interested as partners in
such business, must 1le with the Clerk Of
the county in which its principal place of
business is situated, a certificate stating
the names Of all the members of such
partnership and their place OF residence,
and publish the same once q week for
four successive weeks, in a newspaper
published in the county if there be one,
and If there be none in such county, then
in Il newspaper published in an adjoining
county. The certificate filed with the
Clerk, must be signed by the partners,
and acknowledged before some officer
authorized to take acknowledgment of
conveyances Of real estate. Persons do
ing business as partners contrary to the
provisions Of this Article, shall not main
tain any action upon or on account of any
contracts made or transactions had in
their partnership name, in any Court of
this State"
We believe the law requires the neces-
sary certificate to be filed, etc., prior to
the lst of July. What is expected to be
accomplished by this law is one Of the
mysteries of Dolly Warden legislation
which no one seems to understand.

Don't MENTION IT. A claim at
Douglas City, in this county, recently
cleaned up the respectable sum of s., 100
for run of thirty days, but the owners
seem to be ashamed of the result as they
do not wish it mentioned in the local col
umns OF the JOURNAL. Gentlemen, this
thing OF making large clean-ups and not
saying anything about them is, to use a
common expression, played out. -
Trinity is the richest mining county in
the State, and there is no better way Of
making it known than by giving actual
results. Such we have done heretofore,
and such we intend to do hereafter. Ii
you take out more gold than you think
you are entitled to, better throw some OF
it away, because if we hear Of your max
ing a big thing, we are bound to tell it.
