A NEW VOLUME.

With the present number the TRINITY
Journal enters upon the Twentieth Year
of lis existence. For nineteen years the
Journal has been a welcome Saturday
visitor to our people, and it begins the
New Volume with the cheering assurance
that its efforts TO please its readers, and
advance their material interests, have
been fully appreciated, as the generous
support it continues TO receive amply
proves. We think we can assert without
the fear of successful contradiction, that
the JOURNAL has as large, If not larger
sub. cription list than any local paper in
the State, published in county of the
same population. Our course in the fu-
ture can be judged by the past. In the
discussion of questions which may arise,
we shall endeavor to deal fairly and can
didly with both sides, while upon matters
of local interest we shall endeavor to
make the JOURNAL an cpitomc of the
home news Of the county. Grateful for
tho generous support heretofore extended
ave bid good-by to our patrons foranother
wear,

THE, DEAD YEAR.

The wheels of Time have completed
another revolution and the year of 1874
is numbered with the dead. In the mat
ter Of great and startling events it has
produced but few that will be deemed
worthy ola place in the worlds great
history. SO far as the civilized world is
concerned, we may say the gates of the
temple Of Janus have been closed
for with the exception Of the continue
tion Of the Cuban struggle for liberty,
and the usual state Of instruction Of the
Spanish American republics, Peace
reigns supreme. Nor has the hand of
pestilence, of famine, or Of any Of the
great evils which at times aflict the
earth's people, been laid heavily upon
any nation during the year. The har-
vests have been abundant-the scourges
of fire and flood have not been felt, nor
has there been depression in business
circles to extend over the land and create
want and suffering.
1t is then, only in the home circle that
the dead year will be remembered, with
the varied feelings Of joy, or sorrow
which its passage may have caused. By
some, it will be looked back upon with
feelings Of unalloyed pleasure, as its joy
Gus recollections are recalled - others
will turn from the contemplation of some
dark moment in its days, with saddcncd
thoughts and soitened hearts which will
be borne with them through life. The
laws of God and Nature are immutable :;
but they seem no less harsh for that
reason, if their fulflment runs counter to
the current Of our happiness. Yet, even
in our saddest moments, we should rec
ognize their eternal fitness, and look with
longing hearts for the consultations Time
may bring in its train.
The year is dead. Let it with its joys
and woes, its cares and perplexities, its
hopes and its disappoinhnents, all be bur
led in the tomb of Time. Let it be re-
membered only for its good, and let the
evil of the past be hidden in the bright
hopes of the future. II it has been one
wherein we are conscious Of having erred
let us then remember it that we may
guard against error in the future. Let
us turn to the future with joyous antici-
patton, and bearing in mind that "loye
is the fulfllment Of the law," extend to
each other the hand Of friendship and
congratulation, sincere in the greeting Of
"a HAPPY New YEAR."

1Ts MARKET VALUE.-Thc Sacramcn-
TO Union was sold at auction yesterday,
and was bid in by Paul Morrill, at $50, 900.
Public confidence in the value Of the con-
Germ was so low that not single outside
bid was offered. Less than four years
age the proprierors boasted that they had
refused an offer of S25O,OOO. How they
must wish that they had taken it, now
nobody has the least desire to purchase
the concern. And, bye-the- bye, what
portion Of the $G5, 900, which is the mar
ket value Of the Union, is represented by
the goodwill? The visible property is
worth pretty nearly that sum; but no
doubt Morrill, knows how much the good
will ought to fetch. Sac. Record.

THE TEXT BOOKS AGAIN.

The State Board of Education will meet
on the 9TH Of January, and heavy press
ure will be brought upon that body to
procure a change in some, if not all the
text books in use in the Common Schools
of this State. This year the effort will
take more irsidious form, under the
pretence that the Bancroft series of read
ers, being a local work, should be adopted
in this State, which would pave the way
for changes in the other text books, and
probably result in a new series being or
dered from beginning to end.
We have heretofore spoken in opposi-
tion to these frequent changes in the
books used in our Common Schools, and
see no reason yet to alter the opinions
heretofore expressed. The Compulsory
Educational Law is now in force, and
parents are compelled, unless good excuse
can be given, 10 send each child between
the ages of eight and fourteen years TO
school eight months Of the year. Each
child attending school must, Of course,
be supplied with the books indicated by
the State Board Of Education. Here, we
see, that it rests with that body to say
whether a million or so of dollars shall
be taken from parents, and put into the
pockets of publishers and importers ornot.
All will agree that such change should
not be made unless the best and graw
est reasons seem to demand it. And if
such reasons do not exist, none are so
well qualified to judge as the parents and
guardians of the children for whose use
these books must be purchased, and who
are the ones most interested. No such
change is demanded by them, and no
such change should be made. In point
Of fact, the universal desire of parents
and guardians is to let the text books
now in use be continued, and the move
for change to new series will be
made, if made at all, in defiance Of the
wishes Of those most directly interested.
In fact, no good reason exists for the
change. The fact that the Bancroft series
of readers are home publication, should
count for nothing, unless it appears that
they are Of greater merit than any Of the
series now in use. In matters of this
character, merit, and not local pride,
should be the only test. There is no
complaint made but the books now in
use are excellent, and even granting that
the new series may possess rather more
merit, it is not good policy to saddle the
expense of the change upon the parents
when the advantages gained will be SO
triAing. The frequent changes in text
books during the years past have been
fruitful theme Of complaint, and the peo-
pie don't want to hear of any more. We
hope the press Of this State will give this
subject the attention it deserves, and echo
the voice Of the people which, will be
without doubt, unanimous against any
present change.

MOUNT SHAsTA.-Althotgh Yosemite
is reckoned the most wonderful natural
phenomena in California, it is surpassed
in many respects by Mount Shasta, which
stands at the head Of the Sacramento Val
ley. Shasta has an elevation of 4,443
feet that of Mont Blame is but Is, ,730
feet. Mount Shasta once contained an
active volcano, the crater Of which is still
visible. The view from the summit takes
in the whole of California between the
Coast and Sierra Nevada ranges of
mountains, and from away beyond the
Oregon boundary to the Bay of San
Francisco, distance Of 45O miles. AS a
vast and magnificent panorama it is
doubtful if this view is surpassed in the
whole world. The whole country is fire.
quently filled with great rolling masses of
feecy clouds which hide all but the tips
Of the high peaks Of the Coast Range and
Sierra Nevada Mountains. The view
from the summit under such circum-
stances is grand and weird beyond de-
scriptio The great Sacramento Valley
seems buried in piled up drifts of Aeecy
snow. These drifts under the SUMS rays,
shine with an intense glitter. One of the
largest living glaciers on the Pacific Coast
is found on the summit Of Shasta,

AN EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-A dis
patch from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to the
Chicago Tribune relates the following -
Daniel Moseart, the well known watch
inventor, was taken to the Insane Asy-
lum at Kalamazoo. He has been years
at work on a watch which, without being
larger than usual, was TO show quarter
seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days of
the week, days Of the month and months
OF the year. Every fifth time the watch
was opened it was to wind itself. lie had
completed it and had received large offers
from parties in New York for the right
to manufacture it. A short time ago he
took the model apart to fix. lie was un-
able to put it together again, some part
having probably been lost, and the in
tense mental application upon the difficult
ty has derRnged his mind.

THE Fox AND THE GRAPEs.-A couple
Of men, one Of them a sailor and the 9TH
er blacksmith, were working in mine
situated not far from San Juan, a few
days ago, each Of them being engaged in
piping against bank Of solid gravel.
They were working about 80 or 40 feet
distant from each other. While thus en-
gagged, each having his eyes directed in
tently towards the bank, anticipating a
cave, discovered at the same moment
something peeping out of the bank which
to them looked like chunk of solid gold.
Each dropped his pipe and started toward
the bank to secure the prize, but before
they reached it, a cave came and buried
up their treasure. The adage Of the fox
and the grapes will apply to the incident.
The fellows are working like Trojans day
and night to unearth the chunk of gold.

a TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-Und date
of December Goth, Mr. Alvin Whitney,
who left this place for Little York, Ne
Nada county, short time since, writes
us the following particulars Of terrible
accident which occurred inst as he reach
cd that place "Charlcs Shepard, boy
fifteen years old,is employed in a mine
MS sort Of errand boy. The foremanof
the mine put some twenty pounds Of
4siunt powder on the forge Of the black
smith-shop 10 warm, and told the boy to
stay and watch it. During the time
one Of the cartridges rolled into the fire
the boy seeing the danger, caught the
burning cartridge and jcrkcd it out. 1t
dropped on the pile, at which he became
fri 5htened and started to run. As he
started out of the door he met two little
girls, daughters Of Mr. Cooper, foreman
Of the mine, aged about six and nine
years respectively; they had come up to
bring their fathers dinner. The giant
and three kegs Of black powder exploded
while the three were at the door, they
were carried fifty yards by the explosion
and terribly mangled. The girls are
alive yet but are expected to die ; the
boy is less injured and may recover.

"A LAWYER SHoT.-The fair ladies of
San Francisco do not seem to stand much
in need Of male protectors at least we
judge this TO be the case from the aacrity
with which they occasionally spring to
the pistol to resent some real or fncied
Injury. The latest case occurred last
week, in which Mrs. Hannah Smythe
shot Gen. NJ. G. Cobb, an attorney of
that city. If it be true, as she says, that
he, while acting as her attorney, got hold
of her property, and now refuses to give
it up or give her any satisfaction whatev-
cr, there could scarcely be a jury found
but would hold her guiltlcss, but course

was real or imaginary, j serves lrEgeess tto show

fiicted with the notion that her five chill

she herself died some terrible death, SET
