CHARITABLE.-W We have frequently
alluded to the social and generous quail
ties of the people of California and in no
portion of this Golden State are those
characteristics more noticeable than in
Trinity County. A late example Of the
charitable disposition of our citizens has
occurred within the past week. In our
last issue we m entioned the sudden and
melancholy death Of Mrs. Archlos War
ren, whereby four helpless little children
were lett without the kind, protecting
care of II mothers love. Almost before
the mother was laid in her last resting
place, four families had kind ly volunteer
ed each TO take charge of one Of the Or
phans, and look to their welfare rs they
would to that of their own children, until
the father could make some suitable
arrangement for their permanent care.
He hopes in another year, so we are
informed, to be enabled to return with
the children to England where they will
be placed in charge of relatives
Meantime they are certain of the best OF
care and attention at the hands of the
noble ladies who have so kindly opened
their hearts and homes to the motheress
May God bless them.

work as our citizens well know from the
work he made here last Fall. Mr..
Worthington is now stepping at Lewis

weeks. People living in that vicinity
better make note of this and call on

PERsoNAL.-W f. Huestis, OF Hum
boldt county, paid Weaverviie brief
visit last week on his return trip from
Marysville to Eureka. Mr.. Huestis is
one Of the nor partisan nominees of this
District for Delegates at large to the Con-
sttutional Convention. He is a pioneer
Of Northern California, having been
reared from early boyhood in the fog of
our neighboring county of Humboldt,
where he has been a resident since 1850.
He has several times been honored by the
people Of his county with oficia! positions
and is at present City Clerk of Eureka.
Always giving satisfaction to those he
sCrved, we doubt not the people of the
State will find him an efficient and hon
orable representative Of their interests in
the Convention which assemblies in Sep
tember. That he and his colleagues on
the Citizens Ticket will be elected seems
certain

NEW SCHOOL HoUsE.-With the cash

on Subscription will make last effort to
complete their work during the next
week. If those who wish to help the
matter along and have not subscribed
yet would do so without having to be
hunted up, it would facilitate matters.

FHLERUP THE water supply has not
been very we'll proportioned this week,
but considerable sand and gravel has
made its appearance on the surface of the
big hole, which is not SO big as it was.-
Additional boxes have been put in on
Center street to protect the road and no
damage is now being done to any one.-
The end of next week should find the hole
hlled, though much depends on the way
the water supply comes and the amount
and character work done at the head of
the sluiees. Judge Jones has been
collecting and soliciting additional sub
ser'ptions to defray the expense.

many complaints have been made by
teamsters about the condition of a pub.
lie bridge across Rush Creek, this side of
Paulsen & Christiansen's Ranch. All
teaming from Reading to this place must
come that way and should one of the
heavy teams go over the bridge into the

TO settle damages. From Mr.. Paulsen
we learn that it was intended TO repair
