with Mr.. John Duncan, gentleman recently
come down from the mountains, who informs
ls that there was a terrific avalanche in Plumas
county, on the morning OF the 18th lust A
company was prospecting on n steep ravine,
Situated between Poor Mans Greek and Hop
kins' Creek having run tunnel part way into
the mountain, which was high and precipitous
Mr.. Gentry, one of the company, with his fam
lily, consisting of a wife and two children lived
in a-cabin on one side of the ravinc, while
man named Wilson, also one Of the company,
and some seven or eight other men. belonging
TO it, lived in another cabin on the other. At
the time Of the catastrophe, there were only
three or four men, including Wilson in his cab
in while the whole Gentry family were at home.
In the profound slumbers of the night, there
came u roar as of a thousand thunders, and the
dread avalanche descended. Both cabins were
swept down into ruin, and covered with u solid
mass of snow and ice. while the main body of
the "siide" rolled fearfully forward, tearing up
everything that opposed it. Mr.. Gentry, wife
and youngest child were uninjured. The older
hoy. years of age, was crushed to death. Mr..
Wilson. and his three or four companions, in
The other cabin, were severely injured Wilson

ample lumber of men, and retHrned. On their
way back, they found poor Wilson dead. Ar

SAD ACcIDENT.-In the afternoon of Tuesday
last, Mr.. David S. Molloch and companion
were in skf which they had launched into
the river, and were attempting to push up
stream from Webber's Mil. when the boat got
too far into the current, which was very strong
at that point, and was borne down the river and
over the first rapids, where striking against a
rock, it was capsized preeipitating both men
into the water. His companion succeeded in
getting ashore, but Mr.. Molloch, VINO is sup.
posed to have received some injury which in
capacitated him from attempting to save him
self, was drowned, and all the attempts to find
the body of the unfortunate man have proved
frutless.-SierTd Citizen.

From FORF COLvILLE.-We see by the Orego-
nian, OF Jan. 3Oth, that meeting of the citizens
and miners of Colville Valley was held on the
Esd Of November last. for the purpose of ap-
pointing "cede of officers" the better to pro-
tect the lives aud property Of the residents
thereof The object Of the meeting, as stated
by the chairman, was-"lst.-That in conse-
quence of some recent hostile demonstrations
made by the Indians, it was thought expedient
to petition for company of soldiers to be loca-
ted in the valley to better secure the lives aud
property of the citizens and miners. I'd. That
in consequences of several attempts at murder
being committed, which in one or two cases
proved serious it was thought expedient that
some civil officers should be appointed to bet
ter maintain peace and equity among the in
habitants.n
