DEATH OF MART REEsE.-The Car
son Tribune Of yesterday has the fol-
lowing relative to the death OF j. Mart
Reese, a brief notice of which we
made in Tuesdays NEWS: with
pain we record the death of another
old Carsonise, ]. Mart Reese. Our old
friend departed this life yesterday. ar
ter a short illness. For several days
prior to his death Mr.. Reese had ex-
hibited signs Of pneumonia. and the
disease must have been too deep-root-
ed for medical science to reach 1t. DR..
Waters, In whose house Mr.. Reese re-
sided, rendered all the medical aid In
his power, but poor Mart's time had
come. and science was OF no avail.
Mr.. Reese was born In Philadelphia,
and was. at the time Of his death, be.
tween SO and So years Of age. We
knew Mart years ago, when he was a
bright, active man. In 1858 he WAS
Under Sheriff Of San Francisco coun-
ty, and u man very much respected.
He was among the pioneers OF this
State. and, we believe. the first Sheriff
of Lyon county. He has lived In a
son for some years, and leaves a host
of friends to mourn his loss. He was
an energetic fireman, and, at the time
Of his death, President Of the Curry
Engine Company. A more kindly
hearted man than poor Mart Reese can
seldom be found. He was q friend to
the children, and a good counsellor to
those nearing manhood. Poor Mart
Reese, like US all, had his fallings;
but, withal, the remark will often be
made In the future that when n bet
ter man Is found, there will be twenty
far worse. The corpse was removed
last evening from Curry e%ngine-house
to the Red Mems hall. The funeral
took place this afternoon under the
auspices Of the Order OF Red Men, OF
which deceased was a member In good
standing. The tiremen also took part
In the funeral ceremonies. MI. Ed.
Reese, the only surviving son OF de-
ceased. arrived from San francisco
this morning.
"TuE BEAUTIFUL SNow."-We has
ten to make use OF the above popular
quotation for fear some Of our contem-
poraries should think Of 1t. From
early yesterday morning until nearly
noon to-day the snow fell lightly. but
ever SO steadily, piling up gradually
over hillsldes and roofs until It was
nearly or quite a foot deep on the av-
erage. A finer or more unpretentious
fall Of snow never occurred, n 20
flakes Of silver or Of gold would
not have been of such real benefit to
the country. To-day slelghing, coast
and ali that sort Of thing is In Or
der, and middle aged as well as young
America are out enjoying 1t to their
content. The ground being
we'll frozen and smooth, this snow ieii
upon a iirst-rate foundation, and the
is excellent.
