A HEAVY Snow SroRM.-We have just experience

has visited this country for the last half century,
menced showing, and continued on till near day.
Monday morning; during the most of which time,
there was very severe wind, causing the snow to
penetrate through every crevce and air hole of our
domics. The snow was drifted by the wind as

ural parents, says the .4lta of the 25th, Hen
ry and Mary Baldwin, who, it will be re-
membered, attempted to kill their child by
placing it in an outhouse exposed to the in
clemency of the weather, without food, COW
ering, or any kind of comfort, and leaving
it there to die, were tried and convicted on
Wednesday in the Superior Court. The ev-
idence against them was conclusive. Even
had they not designed to destroy the life of
the child, their inhuman conduct, in expo
sing the little sufferer as they did, merits
the EXTREMIST penalties awarded by the law
of the land for an attempt to commit mur-
der. Pending the trial, the child was brot
into Court, and the unnatural mother at
tempted to create a sympathy by an affecta-
ton of feeling. but failed. The child, who
had been under careful and tender treatment
since the arrest of the parents, has improved
in health. 1t is pretty and intelligent in ap-
pearance. 1t appears the Baldwins have an
elder child, whom they treat with ordinary
attention and tenderness.

The suhiect Of road across The plains has

The subject of road across the plains has
been before the public until it has become
backneyed, and no sooner does some luckless
wight of an editor put forth an article upon
the subject, than the columns of the press
nroceed to announce the fact to their read
ers in very laconic terms. 1t is understood,
how ever, that most of the articles which
have appeared upon this subject, have had
reference to what is termed the Central
Route, being the one for which the tegisla-
ture appropriated one hundred thousand
dollars, and upon which the State would be
obliged to spend four or FIVE times thai
amount before it could be made good wag-
on road We shall not put forth an article
on this route, but have thought that it might
not be inappropriate at the present time, to
say few words in favor OF a route through
the northern portion of the State. Now
whch the Legislature is convening, and when
the State officers are making their reports,
it has occurred to us that the report of the
surveyor general might have been rendered
very interesting to the inhabitants of the
tanned a report of survey of the route
from the Sacramento Valley, up Deer Greek
to Indian Valley, and thence through Gene
see Valley, and by Honey Lake to the east
ern boundery of the State.
Such report, besides being Of interest to
the inhabitants of Butte, Plumas, and other
of other portions of the State with vast
amount of interesting, important and valu-
able information, concerning the advanta-
tages possessed by this neglected portion of
the State. 1t would be interesting to the
inhabitants of the State. because it would
demonstrate tbe fact that an excellent wag-
on road could be constructed to the upper
meadows of the Humboldt River for less than
one half the sum lately appropriated by the
Legislature for the central route. Gentle
men of intelligence, who have travelled the
central route, the Henness route. and vari-
GUS other routes leading into California, un-
hesitatingly pronounce in favor of the route
by Honey Lake Valley, as being the short
est the easiest grade, and abundantly sup
piled with grass and water Indeed the
whole route from Honey Lake Valley to the
Sacramento is through vallies coursed
by the purest waters from the mountains,
and supplied with the most luxuriant grass.
Could all this be esta blished by actual
survey, and embodied in report of the Sur
veyor General, those who only mention the
"Great North - in ridiculc, would be COM
PEELED to admit that they we're not posted
upon her merits, and upon the natural ad-
vantsges which she possesses. And they can
be, if the proper authorities would move in
the matter. Now that the Wagon Road Bill
has been declared unconstitutional, and of
course void, we would call the attention of
the members of this section to this route, in
hopes that they may be able to set its advan-
tages properly before the authorities of the
State.
