Time having elapsed, and no definite results
having been reached, Mr.. Wood invited the
citizens TO meet him at the City Hall on We'd
nesday last, at which time he made a
PROPOSITION FOR A Stock COMPANY.
Having read the two foregoing communica-
tions, Mr.. Wood said:
No definite result having thus far grown out
of these proceedings, and there being no sat
islactory evidence that the loan will be taken
up, am now prepared to make another prop
osition which trust will be deemed satisfac-
tory.
propose that Stock Company be formed
with capital OF 100000 in shares Of $50 or
500 each, and that said Company purchase
the building in Middle street at Its cash cost !;
or If this be unsatisfactory, that three compe-
tent persons be selected to put valuation up
on the building as ii now stands, and / will
abide by their decision.
i will then take stock in said Company to
the amount of $4,000.
As we stated in a brief report OF that meet
ing yesterday, a Committee was chosen to
confer with the committee of the Board OF
Trade, and the result Of their conference may
soon be looked Tor. We really hope the enter
prise may be entered upon with will, and
that the reproach Of our city may soon be wip-
ed off. We will endeavor to keep our people
apprised of results whatever they may be.

Az IScrpExr AT FORT CHuEcHILL.-The
bovs out at Fort Churchill seem to have it
pretty much their own way, and woe be-
tide him who happens to "cross" them.
They had quite lively time out there on
Thursday, the particulars OF which we re-
ceivcd from an eyewitness. An old chap,
said TO be tinctured with JEFF on the brain
has Il ranch not far from the fort, and upon
several occasions has given oiEense to the
soldiers-but piece has "reigncd in War
saw" until several days ago the rancher dug
4 deep trench. said to be four feet deep,
across the public highway, in order to stop
travelling through what he considers his
lands, he having fenced up the highway
which had been travelled for twelve wears
past. The people at the fort did not like
this, as they evidently consider an old wagon
road decidedly preferable to new, round
about one among sand hills and sage brush.
What the presumption rights OF the squatter
may be, we do not know, but the commander
of the fort ordered out a squad OF sixteen
soldiers on Thursday who filled up the trench
across the highway, made a bonfire Of the
rails in the neishborhOod, and took the
rancher TO the fOrt-perhapS to exercise in
the classic pastime of sand-bay carryins-a
species Of manual labor which is said to tend
to the development of the muscles, while it
removes all indications of JEFF on the brain.

SroRN.-we have been having "a spell Of
weather" for day or two past. On Thurs
DAY night it commenced, and kept up until
nearly daylight this morning continuous
storm of, sometimes rain, sometimes snow,
and sometimes both together; making, colIec-
lively, the most respectable storm Of the sea-
son. We learned, last night, there was about
six feet of snow on the summit Of the noun
tain pass. That which fell here yesterday,
melted as it fell; but last night the weather
was a little colder, and this morning there
was several inches Of snow on the ground,
giving the landscape the most wintry appear
ance it has yet presented To-day 1t IS bright
and warm and the snow is rapidly disappear
ing, and our steep streets are running with
rivers of mud and slush. The Pioneer Sta
ses, due yesterday, arrived about noon to-day.
The passengers must have had rough old
time Of it. On the California side OF the
mountains heavy amount Of rain and snow
must have fallen; which, as their State is our
graDary and cattle-ranch, will be God-send
to US as well as the responding Californians.

Dull TINE PoR NEws.-The storm King
has established blockade between US
washoeites and the balance of mankind.
He has cut off our communications, and we
are forty-eight hours behind the age. The
telegraph is dcranged so that we can obtain
no dispatches, and the mountain roads are so
nearly impossible that our latest California
papers are those of Thursday morning. The
inclemency of the weather and the horrible
state of the streets keep people quiet at the
Preside, and few items of interest eonse-
quently transpire to afford themes for the
news-gatherer. To fill up the columns OF
our paper, the paste-pot and scissors are our
main reliance. The rain and snow, however,
more than compensate for the temporary in
convenience.
