The Down Enst snow Storm.

The 'cold term" down East was crowned
with snow storm January 4.h, worthy of the
Winter. 1t was SO fierce and heavy as to impede
travel seriously in cars, steamboat or on foot -
At New York trains, &c, were detained for
hours, twelve inches or more of snow having
fallen At Boston the snow was foot deep
and badly drifted; at Springfield 20 inches deep;
Hartford nearly three feet; New Haven two
feet; and reports from numerous other points
extending through Northern New York, Yer
mont, and Canada to Montreal, show the snow
storm TO have been Of unusual extent and Sc
verify.

SUSPENDED ANINAuoN.-On Sunday last a
man named Powell, lately saloon keeper on
State street near Randolph, who had been sick
for some time past, apparently departed this
life and his remains were prepared for their
last resting place. and in the apparel of the grave
passed the day in cold room. A hearse was
summoned and carriages were in attendance for
the last ObSequies, when from some appearances
in the face of the supposed corpse, proceedings
were stayed and medical aid summoned when the
case was seen to be one Of suspended animation,
and after some hours of judicious and skillful
treatment, the vitality was restored, and Mr.
Powell is now doing well. The instance, as all
such should do revives the soul-harrowing sur
mise whether cases are not of too occasional
occurrence when animation only returns, after
the memorable doors of the tomb have closed
upon the unhappy living subject. A few hours
later the fate might have been Powell's.-Chi-

Meeting of the Democratic State Central
Committee.

On the End inst the Democratic State Cen
trail Committee, of which Joseph P Hoge is
Chairman, met at Sacramento and called State
Convention to assemble at Sacramento on the
22nd of June next to nominate candidates for
State officers, to be elected on the first Wednes
day of September next.
The basis for the apportionment of delegates
was fixed at one delegate for each county. one
for every two hundred votes cast for the highest
candidate on the Lecompton ticket at the last
election, and one for every fraction of two hun
dred, bat exceeding ore hundred votes This
basis gives 264 delegates for the entire State
and votes to Shasta, 4 to Tehama 3 to Colusi,
to Trinity, and 9to Siskiyou
The Committee adopted a resolution to the
following effect:
Resolred, That we recommend to the several
County Committees throughout the State to es-
tablisE test of qualification to govern the pr-
mary meetings, which shall be that the person
desiring to participate in said primary meetings
shall declare that he voted for the nominees of
the last regular Democratic Convention held in
the city of Sacramento, on the 4th day of Au-
| -
Hardy, or that he endorses the platform of prin-
ciples adopted by that Convention.
We respectfully submit that a National Plat
form, that of the Cincinnati Convention, was the
proper test to be adopted of mans qualifcas
tions for participating in the primary meetings.
Two years ago some fifty of the members of the
State Convention which nominated Gov. Vel
Ter, had voted against Mr.. Buchanan the year
preTious and for Mllard Fillmore And two
years ago thousands of men who are now pro-
fessed Democrats, having sneaked into the party
under cover of the smoke Of the Kansas fight,
voted against Gov. Weller and for Maj. Bowie.
Yet these men the Committee say are Demo-
Gratis, good and true" while those who did not
support the regular ticket last year are to be
cut off. But circumstances alter cases" most
ucedly-especially in political matters.

and James Keene, Associates.
April A, 1859.
The Court met, as per order of adjournment,
and empannelled the following Grand Jury:
]. D. Dunlap, Foreman; j. Van Schaick, A.

Previous to the empannelling of the Jury, F.
A. Carabin, prisoner, appeared before the
Court by his counsel, Isaac Baggs, Esq, and
objected to the entire pannel, because it had not
been drawn according to law.
After which the Court, having charged the
Jury, took a recess to await the action of the
Jury.
Court met at call of Grand Jury, who pre-
sented the following indictments, to w.t. The
People Us. All Yee, All May, and = Tchok, for
gambling.
Hardin and Griffith, prisoners, and Frank A.
Carabin, appeared in Court in person and OBJ
jected to the entire pannel, upon the ground
that it had been illegally drawn.
The Shasta courier., 1859-04-09

Last week Col. Magee, assisted by several
other citizens, surveyed the present Travelled road
from this place to the Canon House, and found
the distance to be seven and oLe-fourth miles.
They then surveyed route from the Canon
House up the Sacramento river via Davis Ranch
and the mouth of Salt Creek, over Gold Hill
and striking the present road just opposite the
residence of E. Garter, Esq, at the lower
end Of town, and found it to be- eight and
nc-fourth miles in length. 1t has been es-
timated that a good road, with grade less
than the street in front of our Office, can be
made over this new route for the sum of between
three and four thousand dollars: The same per-
sons assert that the old road, even with greater
amount of money expended on it, will not be
equal to this proposed new road. As to the
merits of the two routes we know nothing. A
correct survey, however, ought certainly to de-
termine which is the cheapest and most feasible
route That route of course should be selected
We understand that Mr.. Nichols, of Nichols
Kerry, promises to raise $1,000 toward building
the road over the new route. The expectation
is that our citizens will make up by subscription
the residue of the three or four thousand dol
lars. viii they do it? We fear not In these
tight times between two and three thousand dol
lars is large sum to be raised in a small town
like this, by subscription, for road purposes.
1t is but proper to state in this connection
that many gentlemen express the belief that one
or two thousand dollars, at most, will make the
old as good a road as teamsters will ask for
We are told many of the teamsters, themselves
express this opinion. They say even now, in
the summer, when the roads dry they can haul
fullloads into Shasta without difficulty Hence
they believe, if a few hundred dollars-many
less than the number required to make the new
road-be judiciously expended on the present
travelled road it will make it passable, except in
the very worst weather, to the most heavily
loaded teams.
