LOCAL sIATTERs.

an immense quantity OF snow has been deposit
ed IN the summit of the mountains, the most
of which must have fallen duriug the month of
March. while the cold rains prevailed in the
foot.hills and valleys. Mr.. P. Henry, who ar
,;ved in town yesterday, by way of the Hcnness
Pass. informs us that between Naples and
Jaekson's, the snow is eighteen to twenty feet
doom. and some fifteen feet deep between Jack
CONS and Eureka. Mr.. Henry came portion
oftbe vay on snow-shoes, and was five and
balfdays making the trip; he laid by two days,
however on account of his eyes being affected
bv the snow. or course, on the higher elevations
tbe snow must be much deeper than on the
Henness Pass, and should it go off suddenly
hiring this month it will be likely to occasion
snother overflow. There is considerable travel
ON foot over the HennesS route, but no teaming
or travel on horseback.

FGv1T.-The fruit blossoms in this neigh
borhood have not as vet been materially injur
cd by the frosts, and there is still prospect Of
agood fruit crop. The blossoms on some OF
the early peach trees have been killed, but the
apple, pear, and most of the peach trees, are so
backward this spring, that hopes are entertain.
ed that we shall have a plentiful fruit harvest.
This is more particularly gratifying, from the
fact that many Of the trees in the valleys have
beendestroyed by the overhows, and fruit is like
" to be much higher this year than usual.
TH1EvING.-Last Wednesday night two or
three petty thieves broke into the kitchen of
Mr.. Hixson' residence, and stole few pounds

to the stable and endeavored to break in. A
person sleeping inside was awakened by the
noise, and prepared to give them proper re-

barking of dog, and then went to the kitchen
and stole enough provisions for their breakfast.
