RAIN AND SNOw.-The Truckee Re

RAIN AND SNOW. The Truckee Re
publican of October 4th has this item:
Yesterday afternoon the thermome-
ter fell rapidly, with indications of
rain. Soon after dark, it began to
sprinkle gently, and continued until
the dust was we'll subdued and unable
to rise. This morning the Washoe
and Sierra Nevada ranges of noun
tains were literally patched over with
snow. This Is the first touch Of win
ter that has visited us since May last.
Jack Frost has began his campaign
very mildly, as if to give people am
pie time to prepare for his heavier ad-
vance, which will soon be upon them.
Thus far the weather in this region
has been unusually balmy and delight
full. September has been az mild and
bland as rosy June, and even October,
with its sober sOmber hues and bracing
air, promises to behave well.

fort to distinguish, that moment stop
and talk, walk or ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth is
green, ii would seem that the ceiling
should he blush tinge, the carpet
green, and the walls of somewhat mel
low tint.
The moment that you are instinc-
lively prompted to rub the eyes, that
moment cease using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking, do not forcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with the finger,
and then wash your face and hands

PROSPECTUS
THE Los ANGELES HERALD.

The first of October, THET.os ANGELES II FIR
AID, a daily and weekly newspaper, will
make its appearance. The Daily will be a
neat and tastily printed seyen-cOlnmn news
paper, newsy rather than literary in charac-
ter. The Weekly will he a six-cOlumn, eight
page paper, and will contain the most impor-
tant matter that has previously appeared in
THE DAILY HERALD.
1t is proposed that the HERALD shall be an
unbOught advocate OF every interest pertain
ing to Southern California and Arizona, and
a Jealous worker in all things that shall tend
to benefit the State. In a word ii will be In
close communion with the People. In Its col
umns, from time to time will be found mat
ters of interest to the California Farmer Me-
chanic, Merchant, LabOrer, and all classes of
Producers; and IL will also contain reading
matter suited to the Home Circle.
The HERALD will he an independent Demo-
cratic jonrnal and lis efforts directed TO sweep
ing from power and place those now miSman-
aging the affairs ofthc Nation. For the accom-
plishment ofthis end, IL will hail with satistac-
ton the cooperation ofthc members of all Par
ties, believing that the prosperity, perhaps
safety, of the Nation depends upon the success
Ofa movement ofthiS character. II Is" reform
now or revolution hereafter"
The HERALD Will advocate State Rights and
oppose Capitalization; II will encourage White
and oppose Coolie Immigraich. II will favor
Free Trade, and oppose Protective Tariff; II
will advocate a Grecnback Currency for Cali
fOrnia, and oppose the present dwaring and
deadening policy which upholds the present
ruinOus rates OF interest and shuts out Eastern
capital. 1t will advOcate the People and OPP
pose MonOpoiies, no matter what guise they
may assume.
While the HERALD will treat Slavery as a
dead issue, 1t will earnestly advocate the
right of every State, be II Northern or South
ern-M Massachusetts or South CarOlina-tO gov
ern itself In accordance with the wishes of its
people, and the dictates OF the Federal Con-
stitutiOn, without national Interference. +
The HERALD will Oppose thieving and pecu,,
lation. No man rightly owns dollar until
he earns 1t. Every dollar which Is taken
from the public treasury or private purse
without n just return Is robbery, and he who
takes this money Is a thiet. Believing this,
the HERALD will oppose salary steals, custom
steals, land steals, railroad steals, and every
kind of steals.
Each day, the fullest Foreign and Domestic
kilograms will be published. The aim will
be to supply, In this part of the state, the de-
mand heretofore filled by the San Francisco
dallies. No trouble or expense will he spared
to make the HERALD, in this respect, equal to
any newspaper on the Coast. 1t will also con-
tain full Review of the local and Foreign
Markets, and the Trades generally, honestly
and carefully compiled.

OAKLAND, July II, 1872.
Herewith certify that Miss Josephine Lind
ley has been student in my department of

this time she studied the French, the Spanish
and the German languages, obtaining always
the highest marks for proficiency and attend
ance, her average credit mark for five terms
being 81 per cent.
On entering the University, Miss Lindley
possessed already such knowledge of the
French and Spanish idioms as 10 be able to
speak them with ease, fuency, correctness,
and pure pronunciation.
She may now he considered thoroughly ia

The FIends at Work AgaIn,

TWO MORE INcENDIART FIRES LAST NIGHT AND
THIS MORNING.
Shortly after seven O'Clock, last evening, a fire
was discovered in a frame stable on Shipley street
above Front, owned by Mr.. John Townsend, and
occupied by Mr.. Francis Kelley. The nremcn
were promptly On the spot, but the fire had gain
Cd such headway that it was impossible 10 do
more than save the sur ounding buildings The
contents OF the stable were almost entirely con-
sumed, the horses were taken out safely The
stable itself was damaged to such an extent as to
render 1t total loss Mr.. Kelley's loss is about
elOO and Mr.. Townsend'H about $500 No In
suranee The fire is attributed TO the work of an
incendiary.
About one O'Clock, this morning, another fire
was discovered in the old building near the foot
OF church street, occupied by VIM. T. Grippen-
Durg, spar maker and Samuel Wode rigger. OW-
ing TO The inhammable nature of the building and
its contents the flames soon gained the mastery,
and In q short time totally DESTROYED the entire
shop. The shop of Amos Harris, ship smith near
by and adjoining the Diamond State rolling mills,
also caught fire, but the frcmen were successful
IN their exertions N extinguish TO
the flames, and though the shop was
considerably damaged, the contents were saved.
The other shop was owned by Mr.. Harris, whose
loss VIII amount 70 something over $1,000. Mr..
Wode, the rigger, loses q large amount of imple-
tnents and stock aggregating in value, probably
70 nearly $22OO. Nr. Grlfenburg.is is the heaviest
loser. lu addition TO q large quantity of masts,
spaS and materials In the shop, which were en-.
tirely destroyed, number Of spars lying outside,
nnished and ready for removal, were damaged to
such an extent as 10 render them almost a total
loss: The spars destroyed had been prepared for
the Pacific Mail Steamship acapulco, now being
finished at the Harlan g. HollingsWoFth C0mpa-
ny's yard, and the steamer Gen. Whitney, now on
the stocks there. his losses as near as can be e.
tmated will reach about 81 900. some Of the spars
being very valuable. He was insured for about
$500, while the other parties Weie not insured At
all. The fire. which had beRn RrnoulderInr all
along, broke out again, shortly AFTER eight O'Clock
but was promptly suppressed.
This nre is also supposed 70 have l,een the work
OF lncendiArles. Two fires within twelve hours,
from this evil cause are well calculated 70 raise
feeling Of alarm la the minds Of all property
owners. Both fires are undoubtedly the work Of
the same gang who operated 20 actively few
months ago, and the utmost YiRilenee should be
exercised by our people aud others, In ordOr 70
