LOCAL MATTERS.

Snow IN THE MouNTAINs.-Mr. Wharten-
by received a letter yesterday from one of the
auents of the South Yuba Canal Co., who is
employed at the lakes near the summit. The
writer says there is more snow now in TIE
mountains than there has been before at this
season for many years. The water in thelakes
is unusually high, and the snow around them
IS still from twelve to fifteen feet deep. The
outlets of these lakes, as the most of our rea-
ders are aware, have been damned up so as to
retain the water until late in the season; and
the supply will be much more plentiful than us
ual Last fall the Canal Co. left supply of
proyisions stored in two different cabins near
the lakes but the party that went up this
spring found the cabins buried so deep in the
snow that they were not able to dig their way
into them, and had to return to Omega for pro-
Visions
SENT To THE REFORM SCHooL.-Two boys
named Henry Hall and Timothy Spellman,
were arrested on Sunday by officer Knerr, for
stealing stove from a cabin near the East
Gap of Sugar Loaf which they broke to pieces
and sold at the foundry for old iron. 1t seems
they have been carrying on this business for
some time. They were tried yesterday before
Justice Smith, and sentenced to four years in
the Reform School. They are about twelve or
fourteen years old, and their parents have no
control over them. Another boy, who assisted
in the theft, was not found; he heard of the ar
rest of his accomplices, and has kept out Of the
way of the officers. Officer Hazlitt started with
the boys this morning for Marysville.
