A dispatch from Eureka, Cal, Of a
late date, gives the details Of terrible
catastrophe in that town, caused by the
bursting Of a water cloud. 1t appears
that, it had been raining from early
morning till near noon, when the ca
lamity occurred. Vast volumes of. wa
ter descended the mountain to the east
Of the town, aud their velocity was
such that houses were swept from stone
foundations, and q number of lives
were sacrificed, including men, wO-
men and children. The storm passed
over all parts of Nevada, carrying
with it death and devastation. At
Austin, the water attained q depth of
one foot in the streets in less than five
minutes. Near Carson a water spout
burst carrying away. large numbers of
live stock. At Pinto the storm was
particularly severe, destroying much
property and many lives. This is one
of the most terrible storms on the coast.
The loss OF property Is estimated at

absence Of several months In the A.
lantic STATES. His sojourn at the can't
tai Of the nation has not changed him:
he Is the same genial gentleman and
iYarm-hearted friend, who left MS to oh
Aina meagre compensation for a vain,
able property and a much more yalua-
bic prospective business. We under
stand that Mr.. Webster will take
possession Of the Custom House and
enter upon the performance OF the du-
ties Of bis odice, to-day Saturday. =
Col L. G. BRIGGS accompanied Mr..
Webster to take the responsible position
Of Deputy Collector. And In this. the
first Official act Of Mr.. Webster, he has
loreshadowed an efficient and faithfnl
performance Of the difficult and often
thankless duties of Collector Of Gus
sraSs Ses 70 tter appointment could
IraSo'oeen made, lls ilIs
the business Of bis Office makes him in
valuable to the new Collector and to
the Treasury Department. Should Mr.
Webster manifest as good judgment in
the selection Of his other subordinates
IN Office, he win give entire satisfaction
70 the business community of the
Sound, and to all who may have occa-
sion to do business with the Custom
House.
The many friends of Col. Briggs
hailed his coming with apparent de-
light, and many were the warm greet
ings Of welcome which, he received. It
Is to be hoped that both ofthese gentle
men may tarry long in our midst.
