terday we heard that there had already
fallen as much as four feet on level at
MARKETS Mill. This was doubtless in
creased foot, at least, during the day.
This would indicate that on the Summit
the depth of snow is rs much az seven or
eight feet, for where the peaks penetrate
into the heart of the storm clouds they
Get the burden OF the harvest. Indeed
it would seem impossible for snow to he
deposited faster than it comes down in
the midst of hard storm on the upper
levels of the Sierra. As much rs ten or
rupte! storm ON the Henness Pass Sum
nit. The combin: peaks seem to rend
the clouds rs with Titanic Bosom, ana
the fakes fall as from an actual bank or
mountain OF snow in the air. We only
get the driblcts, down here III the Valley.
When the Bonner party were showed IN,
near the lake which bears their name,
they had camped on bare ground at
nightfall, and got up to discover them
selves parted from their missing cattle
and horses by waste of deep and track
less snow. The storm had ohlterated
all their points of compass and left them
isolated in white and CHASTITY world
which was all unknown to them. W here
they chopped down trees they In
s:uiuJ,s standing twenty-five feet Li9h:
SO they s.aid there with the world
buried clean out OF sight and recognition
and within mile Of & lake where there
were fish enough to have kept them Hli
! in trS;-rate condition, and they starved
to death and fed on one another bodies.
Bat the prime reason Of Their mlsior-
tunes was the sudden sitting down. III
one night, Of seven orei9ht feet Of SNOW.
We PUBLISH this morning the pro-
rgamme, in blief, of the proposed
Skating Carnival which is to take place
on Christmas Eve at Moore & Parker
Hal. Under the auspices OF the OLYMPIC
Club. The evenings festivities will be
Gin with grand skating bout which
viii be followed by dance. While the
skaters are at their Gyrations and qnlrh-
Queues. tie Cars II Brass Band will swell
the lip of harmony and distendth cheek
of sonorous music; and yet again when
the elbow of Terpsichore is cramped
over the saltatory catgut, the office OF
the troubador will he to extract the soul
of music from the violin and the other
winged and stIinged instruments known
to the quadrille and the waltz. And thus
the Eve Of Christmas will be whlled
away-for particulars see the adrertlse-
ment.
At JOHN RIcHEY's HALL at Empire
this evening, be it borne in mind, the
merry maid Of the dance, sweet, timber
legged Terpsichore, will hold forth in all
her charming munifcence. Let the
merry-maker proceed by sleigh, under
the soft beams of the gentle-oyed moon
to get himself and the being Of his
bosom down there. There will be an in
tensiicatiop Of allthe happy inspirations
which have always made Empire in gem
cral and John Rickey's Hall in par
ticular an abode Of the graces and the
dwelling place Of joy and hospitality
Honors to partners and swing In.
