Trinity Kivrr Expedition. Maj. P. B. Reading, whose name i. identified

with the earliest Anglo-Saxon exploration, of

California, has recently returned from atrip into the interesting region of Trinity River. He started from the Sacramento about the middle of Jn ne, traveled up Clear Creek, and crossed

the ridge dividing the waters of the Sacramento j from the streams flowing into the ocean, by the

only practicable route. His camp on this ridge

was one night above the snow line. Trinity I river was found to possess auriferous sands, and j as the party followed up the stream, the ore wa. found in greater abundance.

'But, said an older sister, 'It cannot be so, dearest, for there are but two of Uncle Casey's children dead!" Ye., I saw three of them in heaven, and dear mother was taking care of them. All were dressed in' while, and all were very happy nd the children playing. Oh! it wa. beaut'ful

there, and I shall go there again next Sandey afternoon at four o'clock.

Mr. Hangley immediately informed Mr. Win-

gate lhat hi. daughter was not dead; when he.

iu company wilh Mr. Morriron, visited the house, and the little girl related rubstantially the same story. It seems, too, that shortly after this relation of the little girl, of what she had seen and heard In heaven, a message came

from Mr. Caey In Carmel, giving information of the death of another child, and inviting them to attend the funeral.

Of the four children of her uncle Hangley,

two died io this city, and two were drowned on

their passage trom Ireland. We called on Saturday to see and talk wilh

this little girl, but she wa. very feeble, and just

then in a drowse, and we would not allow her

to be disturbed. She i. .aid to have a very-

thoughtful and serious countenanre,and te be a

very interesting child. She had no wish to live,

but preferred relurnirg to her mother. The father and the sisters are seriously, but very

happily, impressed wiih the relations of this

sweet child, and joyfully believe the story she

tells. Their house is a pattern of natness,"and

they all possess hearts overflowing with affec-

ion, and are sincerely happy on account of their

heavenly messenger.

about Id month.. I shall return bv water.

Those that have come by water complain of suffering tremendously, and those who come thro by Ijnd complain very much also. I know the overland route to be a very hard one, although there are a great many women and children on the road. I lament to think there will be a great uumber of women aad children lose their lives on the rouL

only by oue spot of grass, aid one su'phur well. One is thirty mile, to the sink i f Mav. river:

thence from that forty-five miles to Carson river which will, be connected by the grass being eat up by the immense number of stork, and the water druuk up, making 75 milts without grata or water.

Persons willing to come through bv land should start by the first of May from St. Joseph They should not have more than 8 hundred lbs. to the wagon, ilbeiug light, with six good mule, to it. Six wagons with 20 men are enough to travel together with speed and safely. Yours. Ate. JAS. CROSL1N.
