The snow storm, which set in about
six o'clock on the night OF Wednesday
the 18th inst. has abated. About four
o'clock this morning tho driving flakes
ceased to fall. after covering the earth
~a.s from between two and three feet Of
snow. II IN difficult to ascertain the eI-
act depth Of tho fall. as in some places
the snow has driited to q heighth and
depth OF i've feet. On every side we can
observe nothing but the white. dazzling
snow. Hills, houses. novels and streets
are covered. To say that w are grate-
full. expresses the sentiments Of a large
portion u our population. To say that
We regret the heavy storm. is but to give
utterance To the expressions Of carriers,
newspaper and telegraph men and stock
operators. Tssmsters will curse to-day
until they ars black in the lace. Rail-
road mon started In last night. and will
continue to abuse the grntlsnanly clerk
Of the weather. until they grow hoarse.
Newspaper men In San Francisco will
abuse the railroads for MT clearing tho
track and distributing their exchanges,
while telegraph operators and Superin'
tsndents gaze with dismay ON the wreck
OF their wires.
Its Advantages
Are numerous. IL insures tho mills n
sufficient quantity Of water with which
TO run their works all Summer next, and
IL will consequently save them the great
expense Of procuring fuel. The ranch
ers in the various valleys have reason TO
be grateful. Instead Of the light crop
which they anticipated to be the fruits
u their labor for next season, on ac-
count Of the continued dry Winter. they
will, ii is to DO hoped. harvest crops
that will enrich them exceedingly.
In a thousand aud one ways will this
storm benefit our people and the in
habitants OF Nevada. more especially
those who reside on its western borders.
We are not blessed with any surplus OF
water. and IL our supply is diminished.
the want Is seriously felt. This two or
three feet Of snow will help US out con-
siderably.
Up to six o'clock last night. NO snow

switch. ON the v. & T. II. r.. but 1t il
highly probable that the heavy rain which
visited that section, turned to snow be-
fore morning. In fact, We know that q
light covering % snow nantes the
ground between those points.
The Disadvantages.
