METEOR LoGIC.-The following very
graphic extract from n luminous mete-
geological article published i'll the
Carson Register Of yesterday morning.
is from the lead pencil OF John |. CHM,
and the result Of deep ard earnest
cogita,ions over Il slight sprinkling OF
snow which succeeded the light pro-
duced by the burning Of MuSgrove's
barn the previous evening, in WaShoe
valley. He says: 40 illustrate :
Wind moves like water in 4 flume.
Close the ends of the f'ume, and the
water is motionlcss. Hoist the flood
gate at ore end, and the water at tn;
end moves out and Is followed by tut
next y it, AM so OH back until the
whole volume moves" The idea Of
this John going recklessly stopping
about in water, n subject he knows
nothing about, Is worse than Horace
Greeley's opinion that 1.-THE best horse
chestnuts grove on whiffle-trees." Stick
to your pepper-grasS ranch, John, on
the head OF George GibSon's ale clSS,
and dol't 60 browsing about that way
among strange elements.
BARN BuRSED.-0n Friday evening
last, CHM, the pepper-Srass local OF
the Carson Register, was out about
dark admi ing what he enthusiastically
believed was a brilliant display of the
aurora b~orealis. Next day he had just
completed n column article for his
paper, OF the philosophy Of comets,
magic lanterns, Danforth'S non-cXplo-
sive burning fluid, chain lightning,
borealis and other patent i~lluminatives,
when q gentleman from the country
suddenly dropped in, and knocked all
his luminous ideas into pi, by the fol-
lowing information, which he thus
patlretically publishes: "rl'e light was
caused BY a destructive cOn!lagration
OH the ranch of W. X. MusgrOvc, OF
this city, which is situated about seven
miles north of us, In Washoe valley.
We learn that Mr.. Musgrove's immense
barn, with its contents and several
head Of horses, COWS and calves, were
destroyed by the fire which i. up the
northern horizon"

George Roth, only four years of age,
came within an ace of being killed
yesterday at Virginia. The little fel-
low was playing with several other
children neal the sidewalk OF North G
street, just below Sutton avenue, when
4 couple of horSemen came dashing
along the street. Being frightened by
some II shouting to him, the little
fellow tried to run to his father, who
was on the opposite side nj the street,
when he was struck by one Of the
horses and sent rolling end over end.
Ii was thought that lie certainly was
killed outright, but when picked up,
strange to say, not n bruise or scratch
was found upon him. lie was totally
uninjured.
