VERY SAD.-From the Wapello iowa
Republican we learn that lad, the son OF
Mr.. Shaffer, was accidentlly killed by his
elder brother. 1t appears that the elder
brother had been unwell for some time, and
had been taking pills, thing he disliked
very much to do. Last Friday evening was
the time for taking another pill, and the
younger brother was teasing him about it,
In pettsh moment he picked up piece OF
q corn-cutter handle and tossed, rather than
threw it at his brother, striking him in the
left temple aud telling him to the earth in
an unconscious state, from which he never
recovered. r

The Round Table is meditating upon
what it is pleased to term "nominal
nonsense''-that is to say, the nonsense
of people altering their names as if they
were ashamed Of them:
"Young clerks-at about the period
they bloom forth in c%aricatures of the
current fashions, shave for a beard, part
their deliberately oiled and curled hair
in the middle and down the back, and
surmount the structure with q shiny hat
manage the thing by sinking their
normal name into an initial, and appro-
priating from a directory or ~biographi-
cal dictionary, or even, if they can find
a stray copy, from a peerage, an impos-
ing expansion of an unexplained letter
of the middle name. The operation by
which William Henry Tompkins-hither-
to called Bill T~ompkins, and written W.
H. Tompkins-becomes W. Henrique
Tompkyn, is as effective, and at least as
wsrrantable, s.the inversion by which
Mr. Montague Tigg became Mr.. Tigg
Montague. Young ladies, it is true, do
not have occurs to 80 decided a step.
They are never, at least until it is too
late for a change to be either practicable
or worth their while, unsustained by Il
hope that their urname will be changed
by the natural course of things; so they
confine themselves, during the gushing
period, to the appropriation of some
diminutive form of their Christian name
which shall end in i.e.-proof whereof
exists in the catalogue of any young
ladies' boarding school.
g With very few exceptions, people
have abundant reason to be disguised
with their names"

PoLL-TAx.-The Assembly, on Thurs
day, passed an amendment TO the re-
venue law, which requires Cinnamon to
pay a poll-taI. This is right. White
men and colored men have to pay it,
and why not Cinnamon? The tender
footed Enterprise insimates that it is in
tended to Cypress the Pacific Railroad
Company, who expect to have ten
thousand Cinnamon at work in this
State, and that the Company will have
to pay the tax for them. If the agents
of the Railroad Company pay the tax
they will take very good care to deduct
the amount from Johns wages. We
hope the amendatory Act will pass the
Senate.

FROM THE PLAIss.-Reports from the
Plains and mountains state that the
great body Of the Indians are moving
southwark. Old Indian fighters say
that this means war. That the Indians
have knowledge of the troops which are
being sent out, and SO they are moving
down to q more southern latitude to
open the wal upon that comparatively
unprotected region, and that as soon as
the troops are fastened after them they
will move north again to spread murder
and devastation upon the region thus
uncovered.
A dispatch to the General command
ing at Omaha, dated Fort Laramie, jan
uary 22d, says: "The Indians have if
teen men surrounded at Spring Greek,
fifteen miles from Mud Springs. They
ran off Cole 4 D%onaldson's herd on the
3Oth inst. These are doubtless the same
Indians who drove of the Government
herd a few days ago. The weather is
intensely cold, and pursuit is not at
tempted. Unless they are stopped soon
all the stock in the country will be run
off.-St. Joseph Herald, Jan. 27th.

Fourteen Hundred and Ten Million Tons
OF Snow Fallen.
Iron the Detroit Post, jar, a.

Very few persons have any conception
of the actual results of a great storm,
such as that which the telegraph reports
as having occurred within the last few
days. The railroads have been block
AIDED by snow over a space of country
extending from Boston to Washington
in a north and south line, and from the
Atlantic to Pixies Peak on an east and
west line. The storm may really be
set down, however, as covering a belt of
country, a little over three hundred
miles wide. This storm belt first struck
the Atlantic coast upon the shores OF
Maine, with its western edge. Sweep
ing at first southwesterly, being driven
before a strong northeast gale, it fully
entered the continent between Boston
and New York, passing over the State
of New York, with its western edge at
Buffalo and its eastern edge at New
York city, and sweeping southeast so
that its southern edge reached beyond
Wheeling, West Virginia. 1t then
changed its course to the westward, and
passed on to the Rocky Mountains, its
southern limit showing four inches Of
snow at Cairo, Illinois, and its northern
limit reaching to Michigan; its centre
between Springfield, Illinois, where the
snow is two feet deep, and Chicago,
where the snow is one foot deep.
If we track the great arc of a circle
followed by this storm, we find the n
in Connecticut, at New Haven, four feet
deep /; in central and southern Pennsyl-
yania nearly two feet deep; in ~1ndianap-
oils, Indiana, fifteen inches deep in
Springfield, Illinois, two feet deep; in
st. Louis, one foot deep, and in Kansas,
six inches to o foot deep. We may
safely calculate that the snow deposited
by this single storm on this continent,
not counting that which fell in the sea
before reaching the continent, at over
one foot in depth over q belt Of country
three hundred miles long; and that out
side Of this belt at least one quarter as
much was deposited.
In order that a proximste idea of the
immense deposite Of this single storm
may be conveyed to our readers, we will
enter into a little calculation. Let US
suppose the snow to be an ordinary dry
snow everywhere, and that evenly dis
tributed, the main deposite would have
covered q beltthree hundred miles wide
and fifteen hundred miles long to q uni
form depth of n foot. Snow Of this
depth, of an ordinary dry character, will
weigh nearly seven tons to the acre: Al
FIVE tons to the acre, there has fallen,
all over this belt, three thousand two
hundred tons upon each square mile, or
a grand total Of fourteen hundred and
ten millions Of tons Of snowl And this
is one storm, from n vast cloud, and
within the space of four days, time
This weight is so vast that it is hard to
comprehend. Some idea Of it may 90
gathered, perhaps, from the statement
that II 10 more than ten times the weight
of all the wheat grown in the whole
United States since the continent OF
America was discovered by Columbus.

The balance stands in favor Of the
Legislative proposition $500.
So much spring-back in the face OF
the "would it not be better" Of His
Intelligency.
The simple, obvious fact is: the Gov
ernor is determined to be absolute Die
tator in regard to the financial transac-
tons Of the State; and his course during
the present session of the Legislature,
in vetoiug bills, has been such as to
disgust and ALLEVIATE almost every intel
ligent and independent friend he had in
either House at the commencement Of
the term-and all were disposed to treat
him, officially, with entire respect, as
Chief Executive.
Every veto message that he has trans
mitted has not only illustrated his AFRO
gance and ~obstinancy, but displayed
such an ignorance Of facts as well as
good manners, as to disgrace him, his
advisers, and, alas |! the State Of Nevada.
