An Ice SroRM IN KAEsAss-what might very
appropriately be denomnated an ice storm, occurred
in the vicinity Of Leroy, Kansas, about the middle
Of last April. The editor Of the Neosho Valley Reg
lister, who was an eye witness, thus describes the
scene .
During the latter part Of the day, rumblings Of
distant thunder were heard, giving warning that a
storm was approaching, and at about six O'Clock
dark clouds began to gather in the west. eclouds
increased In magnitude till within one half-hour Of
sunset, when slight drops of rain began to ascend.
AT TINS unetlire the most magnificent YET fearfully
portentous scene burst upon the view that the hui
man eye coutd possibly behold. The heavens seem
ed to be enyeioped in mantle of complete dark
ness, with the exception of small place in the vi
entity OF the sun. and though the sun was in full
view, yet 1t afforded no light and it was dark in
town as a mOonless night. We hardly know how
TO describe the appearance of the sun at that time
unless II might be said to resemble one Of its rays
when peering through the dark knot hole Of dark
closet.
Following close upon the sprinkling came heavy
splashes of rain, terrific thunder caps, heavy gusts
of wind, common hail, and then balls Of ice As
might be expected, window panes and sashes were
the first to acknowledge the force and character of
these visitors, and Immediately made room for them
to pass whenever inclination induced them that
way. rrf
The ice storm lasted about fifteen minutes, during
which time the ground was covered with ice-balls
from the size Of hens egg to common sized table
bowls. While the storm was raging some balls
were picked up near the doors Of some houses in
town, and We learned that one weighed ten ounces
and another one pound and half
At the Metropolitan Hotel, where we were stop
ping, nearly every pane of glass on the west side Of
the building was broken, and the south side one
ball passed through the clapboards. There were
no windows on this side Of the house.) There was
scarcely whole pane of glass left in the east and
west sides Of the houses in Leroy, and in some in
stances, window sashes were smashed. At Mr..
DIckinson's house, the balls effected passage d.
reetly through the roof But is useless to attempt
to enumerate the various accidents and incidents
which resulted from this storm. We hear of horses,
cattle and pigs being killed, men severely pummeled
but we are pleased to say, no loss of human life
occasioned; at least we have heard Of none. We
are confident, however, that had person been SO
exposed during the prev alence of the storm, to
receive some of those ice-balls upon his head, his
life would have been imminently periled. A very
strong wind prevailing at the time, and houses,
trees and fences, scattered about in great pro-
fusion in many places.

The "HBxSRss Pass" MIsNoMER.-Mr W.
D. Ever, of the Grass Valley National, who left for
washoe few weeks ago, has recently returned. In
his "Notes and Incidents on the Way" we find the
following relative to the discovery of the Henness
Pass:
This name which has recently been given to this
pass IL a misnomer. II was formerly known as the
jackson & Henness Pass but through the eonni-
vance Of several Of our early contemporaries Mr..
Henness has contrved to give his name exclusively
70 this now celebrated locality. This pass was first
discovered by Messrs. Jackson & Henness who were
mining partners at Downieville. In May 1850 these
gentlemen set out aprospecting expedition above
Downieville. They passed through Sierra Val
ley and from thence turned their course westward,
keeping TO the right of the old Truckee route until
they noticed the remarkable depression, near what
they subsequently, found to be the head waters Of
the South Fork Of the Middle Yuba. Pushing on
through this gap which subsequently called the
jackson x Henness Pass" they came to the spot
now known as "Jackson's Ranch" which at the
time was covered with luxuriant crop Of grass,
ready for the scythe.
They Immediately gave up their prospecting for
gold and sent to Sacramento for the necessary i'm
plements and commenced cutting hay which they
packed to Downeville at great profit
Mr.. Henness soon after left the country and re-
turned 70 the Atlantic States Mr. jackson has
ever since remained in possession of the ranch and
has made great efforts to bring it into notice In
80 he laid out and constructed a good wagon road
through it at cost Of 5000 which he generously
threw open to the public, free of toll He is fairly
entitled to give his name to the Pass.
Pun. Docs.-We aIe indebted to Senator Latham
for bundle containing copies Of his late speech on
the slavery question; also, to Senator Gwin for a
number Of speeches upon this novel and interesting
question.
