Disease Grows Apacc.

Like an i'll mind, and cannot be mas
tered too early. What is tritling attack
of sickness to-day may, if unattended to,
become serious case in a week. Small
ailments should be nipped in the bud be-
fore they blossom into full blown mala-
dies. l! this advice were attended to,
many heavy bill for medical attendance
might be avoided. When the liver is
disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed, resort
should at once be had to that supreme
remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, n
few doses of which will restore healthy
action and put the system in perfect or
der. 1t is wise precaution to keep this
incompatible preventive in the hoase,
since it checks, with unrivalled prohfai
tune, disorders which breed othes mr.
more dangerous, and in their latest de-
velcpments are themselves often fatal.

TOWN AND COUNTY.

DEATH OF JUDGE PITZER. Hon. Jes-
so 8. Pitzer died at Phoebe on tho lst
inst, and was buried with Masonic hon
ora Pitzer was identified with the ear
ly history of this county and will be
remembered by many Of our people.
He was nearly sixty years Of age at the
time Of his death, having been born in
Ohio in 1878. He emigrated to Illinois
at an early age, studied for the bar and
was admitted to practice in 1915. In
1910 he came across the plains to this
State, coming to Weaverville in 1851.
The following year he was a candidate
for the Assembly against Reading, but
was defeated by a small majority. Three
years later he was elected District Judge
on the American ticket but retained
the Office only one year, the practice
of his profession being much more re-
munerative. In 1862 he was nominated
for the Assembly by the Democrats,
but was defeated by NJ. w. Personette.
by a majority Of only four. Mr.. Pitzer
was much chagrined at this defeat,
which his friends believed impossible
until.lhe vote began to come in, and
soon after left the county and State.
He settled in Nevada, where his high
legal abilities soon brought him a first
class practice. Pitze was a man OF
fine personal appearance, pleasing man
ners and being possessed of great mag
netism Of character joined with excel
lent powers Of oratory, had great inhu-
ence in cases tried by jury. The news
Of his death will be received with re-

:" Il. ORIENT" " furnishes the following
to the Yreka Journal under date of Trim
ity Center, January 9th a;
" The spirit says this morning" turn
thy pen north and see what may come
theretrom." One cannot do better, per-
maps, than speak of the place in which
they live. Hence few remarks : Have
you heard that this is a temperance town?
Any one who had not been here for the
Ia last year, would scotf at the suggestion.
Trinity Center and whisky, have been
words of similar import ever since the
days OF 40. About year ago, however,
one of those temperance fellows was
along here. He knew what he was
about. lie got all the women together
he could, and marched them off down to
the school house, away out on the viii
lage verge. There he expounded his gos-
pei TO these weaker vessels all by them
selves, and unprotected as they were
and what is the result? Lo we have
now the Sicilian Lodge, No. some hun
dred and odd, in our midst, a tlourishing
Institution with thirtY-tive mem bers, not
few of whom are as brands snatch6d
from the burning. So you see the lamps
In our saloons burn dimly; but strange
as it may seem, the place has gone right
on Increasing in prosperity, and we have
about come to the conclusion that whis =
ky Is not an essential to success.
The late rains have frightened up our
miners wonderfully. There is at present
more doing at placer mining, on small
scale, than ever before. The larger
mines are all paying well, and in any
emergency, suffer less from lack OF wa
ter, than any other camp in the county.
The ranchers are all looking cheertully
ahcad, and making plans for a heavy
summers work. During the last season
many new farms We're taken up in this
valley, 10y men of brains and energy,
who will bring the interest OF agricul-
tnre right up into the prominence it
should sustain with us. There are yet,
perhaps, as many fine tracts of unoccu-
pied land near here, as can be found
anywhere. What we need, and need
badly, is the railroad. A track laid
from Reading to Yreka, could not fail
to open up the magnificent resources OF
Scott and Trinity Valleys, which, when
tried, must prove ineXhaustiblc. Such
talk now sounds like dreaming, Of course,
but we may some Of us live to see the
idea realized. 1t is believed that road
up through this section could even pay
its expenses by the transportation OF our
timber to the market. And then as to
the bstacles-any, the builders Of the
Central Pacific would laugh at them.
The Center enjoys the advantage OF Il
good school, as it should, for no city
or town in the State, pays proportion-
ally more towaad the instruction of the
young.
A grand Hayes and Wheeler dinner
IS in preparation-in the midst of the
Centerites--but if our winter should
come to summer, with the son of New
York in office, no doubt the subject will
be forever dropped"

FRIENDLEss AND ALoNE-The sud.
deh death OF Mr.. Mitchell awakens
thoughts in reference to many others who
are situated similarly to what he vos-
The old man lived by himself in a little
cabin on the outskirts of town, and though
his death was entirely unexpected. vet he
had been in rather feeble health for soma
time past. What happened him at the
supper table, in the presence of those
there assembled, might, n few hours H.
ter, have come upon HIM in the solitude
OF his home. AS it is, it is consolation
to his friends to know that assistance
was at hand, that everything was done
for him that could be done even though
1t availed nothing. But had he been
found dead in his own chair at home. ne
he might have been, there could have
been no such thoughts. 1t might have
been three or four days, or week before
he was missed, and the story of his last
struggle for life only guessed at. There
are many, too many, Of the pioneers Of
Trinity who, like Mitch. " lived, STAY
in little world of their own creating.-
Friendless they are not, for all their old
companions stand ready to aid them in
every way, if they happen to know that
assistance is needed. But of intImates
they have few, if any, and they might
be missed from their usual haunts for
days at time, and no thought given Of
their whereabouts except the passing one
that they were probably working some
where. Every little while we see in some
Of our mining exchanges where some
man who lived and worked by himself
had passed away and the manner Of his
going was known only to his God. Our
own county has furnished numerous in
stances of the same nature Of the old mi
ner to live and be by hlmself-the disap-
polntments OF score Of years have Civ
en- shade of melancholy to his thoughts
and he in many cases enjoys his own
ompanionship better than that of any
other. He came here young, in the flush
OF health, strength and hope, and he lives
more in the past than in the present.
now that the dreary years have rolled
their way and left him poor in the land
his labor has made rich and great.

DIPTHERIA. - This dreaded disease
is prevalent in various parts of this State
and Oregon. People have wholesome
dread of smallpox, and whenever il
comes into neighborhood the most eff
fective preventive measures which can
be devised are adopted. Yet diptheria
is probably the more fatal of the two.-
By the official statement of the San
Francisco Board of Health it seems that
the number ot deaths in that city from
May 10Th to January 9th, was 1856,
while from July 1st to the same date, the
deaths from diptheria numbered 45S
1t is to be hoped that the dreaded disease
will not reach this place, but we do not
know from what quarter it may appear.

on the cure of diptheria which we ad-
wise our readers to study

THE REsULT.-Our private Returning
Board has been busily engaged during
the past week in canvassing the subscrip-
ton books of the JOURNAL. After a
thorough examination of the evidence
principally documentary, and much OF
which tends to show intentional fraud
the names OF many who subscribed for
the paper " to help it along" but never
paid n cent, have been thrown out, and
the final count shows the over-indulgent
proprietors of this paper to be out and
injured to the extent OF several hundred
dollars for the year 1876, on the score oil
delinquent subscriptions. We have re-
luctantly entered final judgment to the
effect that if man can't pay small bill
he will find it more difficult to settle q
larger one, and PEI, contra that we can
better afford to lose small accounts than
larger ones. What we now want is thir-
ty or forty paying subscribers to replace
