OUoHT To Do IT.-We learn that the
Hay Fsrk people talk some of building a
new School House this Summer, the ed
building not being just suited to the
requirements Of that thrifty and growing
sectisn and it is certainly not very
ornamental. Nothing adds to the ap-
pesrance and real worth of community
so much as does comfortable and
cheerful school building. Hay Fork
was the first District in this county to
introduce the new and improved school
furniture and its success in this direction
shows that the folks there are alive to the
importance Of education and that they can
have new School House If a STARTS once
made. Therefore we suggest that the
sooner talk is stopped and work commenc.
cd the quicker the building will be COM
pleted. Weaver talked for several years
TO no purpose. Work commenced and
inside ofsix months we were able to boast
Of ono Of the fnest School Houses in the
State.

ALLEE SAME.-Last Monday was a
Chinese good day, and judging by the
noise and smoke of bombs and crackers it
was celebrated with more than usual
ardor. For a time flor supper frecrackers
were exploded with such rapidity and in
such numbers as to bel lmost deafening
and the entire length of Main street was OBJ
'scured in smoke while the olfactories of the
white population was assailed with the
vilest OF odors from the bombs. One
celestial estimates that not less than one
thousand dollars were expended that day
in bombs and frecrackers. 1t may be
remsm bered that at the last meeting of
the Board ofSupervisors it was understood
that steps would be taken to stop this
internal racket, but nothing seems to have
been done in the matter. Some of these
days team will be frightened, run away
and perhaps cripple or kill ssme one, and
then . great cry will 60 up when it is too
late.

HAVE ARRIvED.-Cepies Of the New
Constitution for every voter in Trinity
County, whose name was on the printed
Great Register of 1877, have been received.
Let every man read itand ponder it well.
Many prov isisn. fair at first sight, will
assume an entirely different meaning
when closely scrutinized. As has been
we'll said, the New Constitut ion contains
some good and many bad provisions ; but
most Of the good is from the Old Consttu>
tion and most of the bad is Innovation =.
The workings Of the old are we'll undsr-
stood and with few amendments. which
can be easily made, will be greatly pref
cradle to the experiment now in the hands
of the voters. 1t will be safe to vote
Against the New Constitution"

RAIEFALL.-During the past week it
Tainsd every day up to Thursday, the
total fail sggregatiag 2.64 inches
amount previously reported, 26.s2; total
rain to date 29.46; to this must be ad
Asd the moisture contained in the Ss
iAches OF snow which has fallen this
season and which increases the water fall
by more than 81 inches making the to-
tai for the season fully SO inches. This
IS the exact amount which fell during
1857. from July to July, and it will
probably be increased this year say
inches in the three months between now
and July 1st.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1879-03-29

REGISTER !-All who expect to vote
for or against the New Constitution
should see 70 it that their names are on
the Great Register previous to the 9th
day of April. Voting on certificates ia
not now allowable and unless your name
Is on the printed Register you will lose
your vote. At the Special Election of
May 7th the printed Great Registers Of
1877 are to be used, but in order to give
all entitled 20 vote an opportunity to do
so, supplement will be printed contain
ing the names Of those registered since
August, 1877. Again we say, see that
your name is placed on the Great Regis
ter before April 9th.

HIGH HWATER.-Streams in this sec :
ton were quite high last Tuesday and
Wednesday, consequent upon warm
rain washing the snow from the hills.

Douglas City was within 10 inches of be-
ing as high as it was three weeks ago; at

PIcuro-Pneumon i'm Putnam Go

The dreaded cattle plague, contagious
pleuro-pneumonia, has made its appear
ance among the herds in the towns of Phil
lipstown, Kent, Paterson, Southeast and
Carmel, in Putnam County. For some
months isolated cases OF the disease have
occurred, but not until within the past week
or so, when the deaths became frequent
was its real nature aScCrtained Gen.
inson last winter to see that the law pro-
viding for the prompt killing of diseased
cattle was carried out, was sent for. The
appropriation made last winter had all
been expended, and a meeting of the
Board ofSupervisors was held Wednesday
to arrange for the indemnifcation of the
owners Of cattle killed in suppressing the
disease. The law provides that the own
ers OF killed cattle shall be paid two
thirds of their value at lifetime of killing.
Tho Supervisors passed a resolution to
IN such measures as he may deem best,
and Gen. Patrick has already begun the
very serious task VI suppressing the
disease, which is now widespread. The
farmers are quite seriously demoralized,
and the fact that cattle from an infected
herd were exhibited at the County Fair,
and the disease perhaps disseminated
still more, does not reassure them.
