Struck THE BLUE LEAD.--The story is told
us of D Dutchman who left his creditors for a
wsshoe trip and meeting with fright and more
obstacles than he counted on, returned. The way
of it was this. Mr.. Dutchman was lounging
about the camp fire in company with others.
The snow was plenty, and more on the wing.
The boys suggested the probability of grub be-
coming scarce, and one proposed in that event
to kill the favorite dog of another. The latter
swore the dog should not be killed in any event
The animal was lank and would furnish but little
food any how. In low tone he advised his
waggish comrades, in case of pinchng times, to
take tie Dutchman who was fat and juicy, and
said as he had run away nobody knew where he
had gone and he Would not be missed. An al
lusion to the Donner cabins ahead was all that
ward tracks. But having bottle of schnapps
one of the crowd cut open the Dutehman's car
pet sack and distracted it, and on complaint
from the owner villainous looking black eye
was given as compensation for the schnapps.
On striking the Blue lead so unexpectedly the
Dutchman was satisfied and returned home to
his creditors leeches and beef steak.
Snow SroRM.-The world, or at least this part
Of it, looked out yesterday morning upon a
scene of purest white. The earth was covered
to the depth Of a foot and the trees were bending
beneath the weight of heavy fall of snow.
The fences were adorned with beautiful and
chaste cornices and clothes lines presented the
appearances of cables. On inquiry, We learn that
many large peach trees have been broken to the
ground and destroyed, others have been seriously
injured by large limbs splitting off, but as yet
the fruit crop is counted safe. All will, however,
depend upon the temperature of the atmosphere
hereafter. freezing night would now leave
not vestige of the peach crop.
The fall of snow is unusual and was not ex-
pected. 1t must prove serious to those their
way to and from the silver mines, particularly to
the traveller on the mountains.
SSowBALLISG.-Person walking the streets
yesterday, had to run the gauntlet. Troops of
boys of large growth stood on every corner to
let fly shower of snow balls at the unfortu-
nate pedestrians As the time was propitOus,
the snow packing easily, the sport was continued
large share of the day. A hard ball project
ed with more than usual force sometimes excited
momentary choler Otherwise nothing marred
the festivities Of the day except a broken win

Of establishing Southern commercial city,
