DEAR JOURNAL We passed tho
Fourth very pleasantly here with nice
pic ric and dance in the evening. The
True Blue Boys certainly looked very
6tae on their return from French Gulch
alter their defeat. Aside from that, they
had very pleasant time, everything that
could be done to make the boys enjoy
themselves was done by the people of
French Gulch who deserve much credit
for the way they fixed up to receive the
True Blue boys. Although badly beaten
they die game and refuse to credit the
French Gulch boys with their defeat, the
glory of which they claim is due to bows
from Shasta. In the evening everybody
attended the incest Ball and Supper
which has been given at French Gulch
for Is years, and the True Blue fellows
did the Supper especial justice. They
sang and punished lager beer until the
old settlers said it reminded them of the
good old times long passed. Our boys
are not yet satisfied, but wish to play the
Gladators one more game. Health here
is generally good, except that Mr.. Rum
felt has been complaining somewhat of
late. "

THE FOURTH AT RED 1IILL.-A cor.
respondent writing from Red Hill under
date of July 9TH furnishes tho following
account of the celebration at that place
"Our National Birthday was celebrated
with appropriate honors yesterday. Fes-
tvities be gan with salute Mt sunrise Il
grand procession, at 10 o'clock, headed
by a gaily decorated wagon carrying the
Goddess Of Liberty surrounded by thir-
teen children representing the original
States and California, marched to the
pic mic grounds about half a mile distant.
There the Declaration of Independence
was read by Mr.. Bills, appropriate pieces
were recited by several of the children
and the choir sang patriotic airs. A nice
dinner was served under the beautiful
shade trees. After the festivities of the
day on the picnic grounds, the procession
flags flying marched to nicely decora-
ted brush tent where, after supper in the
evening, some beautiful living pictures,
or IabIcdur piUait, were exhibited un-
der the red fire, representing the Goddess
of Liberty and other appropriate views.
After this dancing commenced and was
kept up with much spirit until sunrise
next morning, all enjoying themselves in
tho highest degree. There was quite a
large crowd in attendance from the
neigh5oring towns besides all the people
of Red Hill. 1t was the grandest affair
this section Of country has ever witnessed
and was given free Of charge by the Red
Hill people,"

THE ARMY WoRM.-This destructive
pest has made its appearance here for the
first time. There are millions of them
and everything green is being eaten up
by the voracious creatures. Several
places in the basin are overrun with them
ut present. In answer to the question
" Where does the Army Worm come
from ?'' the Sacramento Bee says /:
They come from the fields on which
they feed. 1t is the larva or grub of a
night flying moth, called Leucania. ;
These moths deposit their eggs in great
mum bcrs, and the result is n small naked
grub which grows very rapidly. And as
they all come 20 maturity about the same
:ime they begin active operations in a
body"

THE best way to keep up with the
times and know what is going on at home
is to subscribe for the TRINITY JOURNAL
and pay for it. This is much better than
saying there is nothing in the paper"
and then never missing an opportunity
of carrying off the copy which youI
neighbor subscribes and pays for. Think
the matter over seriously and perhaps
you will come to sensible conclusion
and hand in your name accompanied by
the amount of a years subscription. We
do not make any charge for the advice

in addition to this, the change of food,
Of bed and Of surroundings, with horse
as with man, prevents instead Of pro-
noting rest, so that he is less refreshed
and prepared for the following days
work than if he had his accustomed rest
and food in the accustomed way. The
only difference is, the man knows how
it is himself, and can say so, while the
horse can't. IF he could, he would no
doubt say with the Agricultwist: "a
run in the pasturc-feld at night would
be very acceptable" but if endowed
with good horse sense, he would prefer
rest in his usual stall as better prep
aration for the next days work. A few
minutes attention to the comfort of the
horses at the close of hard days work
is time well spent and the farmer can
i'll afford to neglect it, however tired he
may be himself. Detroit Post and
