Tar sroau.-we were visited during

The SToRM.-We were visited during
the past week by the most severe storm
of the season. The snow fell to the
depth of about two feet, and the weather
was very wintry in all respects. Snow
shoes were brought into requisition by
those who wish to get about our quiet
town, the streets of which really showed
more life than for weeks previous. The
boys were to be seen on the hill-sides
and those fond of winter sports seemed
well pleased with the condition of things.
Our people, however, were not prepared
for this young Hercules. The kitchen
of the Metropolitan Hotel, kept by our
friend jeffrey, was crushed by the weight
Of the snow The old Theater building
which was partly broken in last winter,
was crushed to the ground, and several
smaller houses were blown down. The
road from here to Cisco, however, was
kept open so that several persons came
in on horseback and the stage was only
laid up for one day. Old mo~untaineers
look upon the storm as q sure indication
Of an open winter. The sun came out
in all its brilliancy in n few hours after
the storm, and the snow rapidly melted
away. We will doubtless have weeks
of pleasant, summer-like weather and q
later fall than for the past two or three
years. The fall Of snow raised the lake
several inches, and the miners below
will be blessed with plenty of water.
All the little streams of these mountains
are booming away rs in the early spring
and the Yuba is swollen very consid-
erably.-Msadow Lake Sun.

that the brute accosted the girl on Mont
gomery street, neal Pacific, and followed
her home. On her entering the door of
the house, be crowded in after her,
throwing her down, and attempted to
violate her person. The girl screamed,
when the scoundrel placed his hand over
her mouth and told her if she did not
keep still he would kill her. During
the struggle, however, she succeeded in
dashing her hand through a pane of glass
in the window and uttering a half-stifed
CRY, which attracted the notice of two
young men who were passing, who i'm
mediately burst open the door and mr.
rested the vile wretch. The parents of
the girl, who are Hebrews, were absent
at the time, attending services in the
synagogue.-S. r. Dispatch.

Rights Democrat. His edition of Black

WE have a vague report that the man
ayers Of the railway corporations Of
New Jersey have consulted together and
agreed to anumber of very commendable
land therefore very startling) changes
in the railroad system Of that State
prominent among which are the fix
ing of a uniform rate of too cents per
mile fare, the abolition of the express
business, and the transportation of val
liable packages by the railway compa.
mics under an improved system of parcel
delivery, and the abandonment Of all
attempts to control the action of the
Legislature We need not say that the
fulfllment of such resolutions would be
a most notable and beneficial change
for New Jersey, and an act of justice to
travellers from all States who have to
pass through that State, for no fact can
be more patent than such an assertion I;
but we beg leave to doubt the whole
pleasing story. New Jersey corpora
tons have too decided a history to en-
able those who have studied it to put
unquestioning faith in any report OF
abandonment of Legislative intrigue
