Too MANY.-During our late absence
we came in contact with so many old
Trinity people and were so pleasantly
treated by all that we shall not endeavor
in the limited space at command to give
an account of any of them. Suffice it to
say that the majority are doing we'll and
without exception are happy to meet an
old Trinitarian whom they treat more as
n loved relative than q mere friend. No
better or more wholessouled people live
than those who have been and are now

School House this week. The little folks
feel proud of their new quarters as they
have reason to, and it is hoped that
scholars will be very careful and not mus

age the school house or furniture in any

to date Of 81 53, to which must be added
81 inches of snow water, making a total
water fall OF over Al inches.

In AN Residents in the up
per end of town were disturbed and con-
siderably alarmed shortly after 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night by the shrieksand cries
of woman. Investigation by the neigh
bors, who were aroused from consider
able distance, revealed the cause to be n
family quarrel, the wife claiming that
her husband was drunk and had been
beating her. Both were probably to blame
and If like occurrence again takes place
the parties will be shown up by name in
these columns and the matter brought
into the Courts. A dose of Phil. Roach's
unconstitutional whipping post could be
very properly applied to the coward who
so far forgets his manhood as to strike the
wife of his bosom or any other woman.

HOME NEW -.

SENSIBLE TALK.-We commend to
the earnest cons liberation of our Demo
cratic readers in this County and the
State at large the resolutions attached TO
the call for Democratic Convention to
be found in our advertising columns.
The resolutions were introduced by M.
F. Griffin, Chairman, at the late meeting
Of the Democratic County Committee
and unanimously adopted. The platform
has an honest ring, goes straight to the
point and must meet the hearty aLpro.
val OF all member Of that party who
have the welfare of the organization at
heart. While we know that some 5ranch-
es of the Democracy in other sections of
the State will not take the same view Of
the matter, we feel II local pride in the
knowledge that our political opponents in
Trinity have thus early placed themsel-
yes on record and taken what we conceive
to be the only sensible view of the situa-
ton. While, as Republican. we are
decidedly y in favor of the II. b. moves
ment, knowing it will strengthen our
own political party, our Democratic
friends here have foresight enough to SO e
and realize that the encouraging Of such
a side show would be suicidal to their
own party. The action further shows
the Central Committee to be governed
by principle and not by men.

DISAPPOINTED - The Weaver Base
Ball boys are sadly disappointed at the
non acceptance of their invitation sent to
the Lewiston boys for match game on
the Fourth of July, A purse Of 500 had
been made up to go to the winning team
and grand good time was in anticipa-
ton. After several weeks of considera-
ton Lewiston seems to have decided that
discretion is the better part of valor and
has declined the invitation with thanks.
1T is to be hoped that after the Lewiston
Club has more practice they will muster
more courage and come in and give
Weaver turn anyway. Our boys have
never been beaten, but that is no reason
why they cannot be defeated. The fact is
they have never had any very expert op-
DOnents
Weekly Trinity journal., 1879-05-31

FOURTH OF July programmes are now
in order and though Weaverville is anx-
ious to do something, nothing definite has
been decided upon. The failure of the
Lewiston B. B. c. TO accept the invita-
tion for Championship game of Base
Ball and their delay in answering has
rather upset matters. Horse race, picnic
and other amusements are talked of and
it is probable some sort of programme
will be made up and announced in our
next issue. The ball previously adYertis-
ed will come off anyway. Let those in
favor of celebrating get their heads to-
gether and agree upon something which
will be interesting, amusing and enter
tanning.

Leprosy in Canada.

In new Brunswick, Canada, there are lepers,-
quite a colony of them. There are also lepers in
Norway. In Switzerland they have the gOitre.
The following account of the disease of Leprosy
as its m~anifests itself in Canada, may be read with
sad interest, and i, moreover, historical. 1t may
also suggest some new thoughts to our medical
men some Of whom have for many years devoted
their thoughts to the subject Of Leprosy on these ISL
ands.
There is in the Dominion of Canada, a colony
Of lepers, Of whom a strange weird story is told.
1t is situated in the ancient French town of Tracadie,
fifty miles distant from Miramichi, n. B., among
the drear marshes Of Tia Gloucester coast. There
is an average Of forty patients in the pest-house,
which was built by the Provincial Government
in 1S47. Early in 1868 the nuns Of the Hotel
Dieu, Montreal, took charge Of the pest-house,
and the Trappist Monastery, at Dorchester, n. B..
send volunteers. Two nuns have succumbed to
the disease, aud many have been ruined in health.
The plague is not hereditary. About 10 per cent.
of the patients recover, but they are left crippled
wrecks for life. Parents may be clean, and their
children unclean. A husband may become q leper,
and his wife, waiting upon him, escape. The
Tracadie patients, however, think they caught
their disease from sleeping in unclean beds or
wearing q leper's clothing. The patient first suffers
from lassitude and sleeplessness ; then comes fever,
which is succeeded by intense numbness of the
limbs. The skin, at first unnatursliy white, is
covered with yellow spots. These run purulent
matter, and in three months the body is q mass
of sores. The face is destroyed, blindness sets in,
and the mouth and lips become contracted, so that
the suferer-they are all French-Canadians-
cannot receive the holy sacrament in his dying
hours. Towards the end the disease, after doing its
deadly work eternally, lodges in the throat, the
symptoms resembling those Of acute asthma. The
patient cannot rest he smothers. Lifting himself
from the pallet, and in tones no longer like those
Of the haman voice, he pleads for more air. Father
lately in charge of the laZaretto, in
describing the death scene, writes 80 Imagine the
expiring leper making s~pasmodic movements as he
turns and twists himself in vain TO catch a deeper

y SELL.-A treasure up a tree was seen in the
watches of the night by a pedler who was
sleeping in n farm house in the Shenandoah
Valley. The Tribune IN. W says he told
his dream to the farmer the next morning, and
on three successive nights he had the same
vision. Then he prevailed upon the farmer to
accompany him to the forest, where he pointed
out a large oak tree as the one he had seen in
his dream. 1t was apparently sound at the
butt, but about twenty feet up a limb had been
broken off. The farmer did not feel like
humoring what he supposed to be a supersti-
tious within, but the old fellow seemed to have
confidence in his vision, and offered him one
half of the spoils if he would help him to cut
down the tree. When the tree fell there was
a rattle of coin near where the limb had been
broken off, and a small hollow sraS found Gnd there
gSl2 4t1sth6PpiDg a larger cavity was found,
nd within was a mass of silver. Both seemed
with delight, and counting up found that
he pile amounted to 5000 dollars. The pedlar
expressed his unwillingness TO carry around SO
much silver in his pocket, and inquired where
lie would be likely to get greenbacks for his
hare. The farmer, having considerable money
n his house, Immediately transferred to the
edler $500 dollars in paper money and took
barge of the entire bulk Of silver. The pedler
isappeared, and when his partner attempted
o pass some of the silver, 10! it was counter
cit. He was the victim of a gang of coiners,
Tho adopted the scheme to yictimise him.

p Tbs San Francisco papers tell the following
good joke on the Spring Valley Water Company:
Within the block bounded by Sixteenth, Seven
teenth, Howard and Folsom streets there is an
artesian we'll which supplies most of the inhabitants
Of the block with pure water. Most of the real
property in the block is owned by Claus Spreckles,
and he had the well bored TO supply water for his
tenants. The abundance Of the supply and the low
cost of the water to the consumers, enables them to
use it very literally in sprinkling gardens and the
surrounding streets. Such q profuse use of the
precious liquid did not long escape the notice of
the Spring Valley Water Works, and the Occu-
pants of the buildings in the block were notified
by that Company that by such an extravagant use
Of water they had forfeited their rights as consum-
ers of Spring Valley Water, and unless the trans
erosion of the Company rules was Immediately
discontinued the water supply would be cut off. A
reply was returned to the notice by one of the
tenants of Mr.. S~preckles, which was more forcible
than polite, and expressed perfect Indifference as to
the course which the water company might pursue.
4 few days ago two men called informing the tenants
that they had been instructed by the Spring Valley
Company to cut off the water supply. They were
told to go ahead. They were afterwards observed,
much 10 the amusement of Mr.. Spreckles' tenants,
making n survey of the surroundings and search
ing eagerly for the supposed connection pipe with
the Spring Valley mains.
