came upon Us, from the southwest, the
mos terrific storm Of the year. Like
unto the gales which are known the
world srcund as Washoe Zephyrs, did
the wind tear through yon mountain
passes and screech across the fields and
deserts of these valleys careering madly
on and on, out into she bleak waste Of
the wilderness and over the hills and far
away, irrepressib.e, irresistible and
grand. With the wbirlwind came the
rain-rain here ami snow flakes there en-
the Sierra; and such a screeching and
fierce dissonance Of night sounds have
not been heard even here for many a
happy month. With the dawnirg Of
day the wind began to abate its fury;
and by moor of yesterday the te.,pest
had siackened and the rain had ceased
