From our Western dispatches it is
evidsnt that the present storm extends
to the shores of the Pacific, and that in
severity it exceeds any thing that
comes within the memory Of the oldest
inhabitant. A dispatch received yester-
day states that on Sunday the rain
fall was so heavy that services were
held in but few Of the churches in San
Francisco. A drenching rain pre-
vailed during the entire day and by
night-fall the sidewalks in many places
were impossible. The wind blew a
gale, and it is probable that considera-
BILE damage was donet to the shipping at
the wharves. A portion of the track of
the Central Street Car Company, ear
Lone Mountain, was washed away,
moving in the wash five or six cars.
The person in charge of the signal
station on the Merchants Exchange
building reports one and a half inches
of rain during the "a hours ending at
8 o'clock Sunday night; a total fall
for the season Of 1871 inches. Dis
patches from various points, from
Marysville to San Diego, report the Sc
verest storm ever known on the coast.

AN item recently appeared in some
Of the Western papers to the effect that
General Suffer, on whose land gold
was first discovered in California, was
living in a state of poverty near Wash
ington, and had nothing for support in
his old age. 1t is 0 ascertained that
this il not correct. General Suffer re-
sides ia one of the fine houses in the
village Of Litiz, Pennsylvania, which
was CONSTRUCTED to suit his taste and
under his own supervision. One of his
granddaughter is being educated at

has a widespread reputation, and in
which hundreds of young ladies from
almost every State of the Union have
acquired a knowledge Of all branches
necessary to a polished English educa-
ton.

WHITE PINE INTELLIGENCE IL.

From the N ews of Saturday.
WARD DIsrRICr.-We have been
shown some very rich rock just
brought in from this immensely rich
mining district, which assays way
up" in the thousands. The specimen
shown US was from the Paymaster
mine, and is the richest silver spec.-
men we have seer in many a day, and
the party having the specimen says
that there is lots more in the mine
just like it. The Paymaster Company
only ships enough OF its good ore to
pay current expenses, and the alance
is sacked and piled away in it's ore
house. The bullion shipments from
this district will he very large when
reduction works are erected and work.
ing commences, which will probably
be next summer. All the mining news
we receive from this district is of the
most fattering character.
ENCoURAGING.-Recently we have
been permitted to read several letters
written by gentlemen in San Francieco
to parties residing here. They all bid
US to be OF good cheer, and say that
capitalists will take hold of some Of
the mining properties here early next
Spring, and hat a much better feeling
exists in regard to White Pine now than
has before for a number Of years.
Should San Francisco capital start in
here, and White Pine recover from
her black eve, this will be the second,
if not the first, mining center in the
State Of Nevada. With a little assist
ance of capital it can and will be made
so.
ARREsTED.-The young man Read,
of whom we made mention two weeks
ago, for DEMONSTRATING at Cherry
Creek, was arrested at Eberhardt a
few days since by officer Morton.
When arrested he gave his name as
Dexter Rockwell, and says he balls
from Connecti,~lt, but latterly ONE
from Utah. We understand that he
Acknowledges taking the horse, and
that it was his intention to proceed
to Colorado, and would have done so
only that his partner IS went back on
him" on the money question. He
will have an examination to-day be-
fore Justice Bush.
STAGING in and out Of Hamilton for
the past two days has been performed
under difficulties. Thursday night
Johnny Condor, driver of the Robin
J son stage, got within two and a half
miles of town, at the California
mills, where he was obliged to camp
till morning, when he could see TO
find the road. 1t was showing and
blowing fearfully at the time.
GEN. r. NJ. CLARKE, one Of Carson's
ablest lawyers, arrived hero en-
Wednesday last. The General is en-
gagged in a trial of a water suit that has
been set for trial at the term of the
District Court. Before returning To
Carson he will visit Duck Creek, and
| probably Ward Mining district.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. "A.
The Chamber of Commerce will meet
tomorrow for the purpose of discuss
ing the Hawaiian reciprocity business.
In the ease OF the Wornser Brothers,
of New York, against the Bank of Cal
%ifornia, Judge Sawyer rendered a de-
cision this morning in favor of the
bank on all points. The motion to en-
JON the sale Of delinquent stock was
denied.
The Pacific mail steamer City of To-
kio, bearing the remains of b. p.
Avery, late Minister to China, arrived
this morning, but has not yet reached
her dock. The funeral will probably
be held on Wednesday.
On Saturday the United States Mar
shall arrested Michael Ryan, door
keeper at Maguire's new theater, on
the charge of refusing colored men adj
mission to the theater. Ryan gave
bail in the sum Of $1,000, and vas re-
leased from custody.
The committee having in charge the
arrangements for the funeral of b. p.
Avery, late Minister to China, met at
the room of the Art Association. Some
discussion was bad as to where the
funeral should take place, but it was
finally decided to hid The ob>equies at
2 p. NJ. on Wednesday, from Rev. Dl.
Stehhins' Church, on Geary stree.
The committee proceeded to the steam
err and escorted the body to Gray'- un-
dertaking W~arerooins, where the re-
mains will he transferred to a hand

remains will be removed DIR. Stel,bin,'

JUDGE LEwIs.-This gentleman was
in town yesterday on legal business.
The Judge is n Of the ablest ~jurists in
this State; his practice is large, and
much more lucrative than when he
was Chief Justice. We don't believe
he would relinguish it for any office in
the gift Of the people. 1t is a deplor-
able state of affairs, but nevertheless is
the rule, that good men can not be pre-
vailed upon to accept public office.
The above, which is from the Reno
Journal, we presume was intended
more particularly to apply to the judi
ciary,as Judge Lewis formerly occupied
a seat on the Supreme Bench of this
State, and Is a pretty rough shot on
Hawley, Beatty and Earll.

THE ..NEVADA REVIEW,

A contemporary, referring to our
ideas concerning the probability OF a
State magazine being started, rather
strangely disturbances the undertake
ing. We are now prepared to state that
the project has assumed shape, and that
shortly a magazine will be published
which will contain the history of the
State in general-mineral and agricul-
tural matters, and such other reading
as will be both interesting and instruc-
tive. 1t is proposed to issue the maya
zine quarterly, and in the month of
March next the first number will be
issued. Rev. Geo. B. Allen will as
sumo editorial control of the maya
zine, and will beably assisted by many
literary men of the State. The "Ne-
vada Review" has been chosen as the
title of the magazine, and very anx-
iously shall we look for it's appear
ance.
The above is from the Carson TIL
bune, and the SENTINEL is doubtless
the contemporary referred to as dis
countenancing the undertaking. Our
remarks concerning the proposed en-
terprise related entirely to its bust
ness prospects, which to our mind APP
peared rather unfavorable, from the
fact that we did not believe the popu-
lation of the section upon which the
magazine would depend mainly for its
support was sufficient to justify
the undertaking. We hope, however,
that we were mistaken, and that the
"Nevada Review will live and pros
per until the fortieth centennial shall
become a matter of history.

HERE Is warning for men too mean
to advertise: One of this description
wanted to sell some land and so he
put a written notice in n of the hotels
the other day. A man who was in
quiring for a small farm was referred
to the written notice, when he replied:
1 can't buy land at a fair price of any
man that does his advertising in that
way. He'd steal the fence, the pump
handles and the barn doors before he'd
give up possession.

REMEDY FOR RHEUMATIsM.-A cor
respondent Of the New York World
sends that journal the following: Here
is a remedy for rheumatism. i have
tried it in my family and found it most
excellent for infiammatory rheuma-
tism. 1t is a charity to print it: Four
ounces of saltpetre in one pint of alco-
hoi; shake we'll and battle parts at
fected; wetting red flannel with it, lay
it on. 1t does not cure, but takes away
the redness, reduces the swelling, and
relieves the torment and agony.

Jail vas surrounded by a mob
Of excited people, but both denied
completely in the act, although the
minister continued prayer with them
and asking their confession. The mob
forced the keys from the jailer and
took Williams out and placed him
under a tree in the courtyard with a
rope around his neck, standing on a
barrel. He made a confession and eX-
pressed the hope that the crowd might
OBTAIN Gods forgiveness for their
crime as he had for his. He declared
that he was happily started on his

after Is minutes of terrible agony.

CHICAGO. Jan. "a.
A Times Washington special says
the necessary Legislation for carrying
into effect the reciprocity treaty with
the Hawaiian Islands, now under con
sideration in the Ways and Means
Committee, meets with favor from sew
eral members of the committee, though
the latter has not yet taken any formal
action in regard to it. The proposed
law, which will provide for an inter
change Of commodities, will in ON
degree result in a reduction of venue
by a loss of duties paid on importa-
tinns from those islands.
H6rculean efforts are akl1 among
officers of the army to tright:n the
Military Committee ont of the con-
templaled sweeping reduction. AS
soon as the project for cutting down
the army was made known, every
channel by which influence could be
brought to bear was filed with pro-
tests and hints to stay Congress from
action. Every paper in the city and

with the army officers, or friends
Of the army officers, began
q howl about the indecency of
a Confederate Congress cutting
down the ranks of an army that had
beaten them. In spite of all this, how
ever, plans for reduction have gone on
steadily, and if the Military Commit
tee hesitates, Congress itself will put it's
shoulder to the wheel.

The Dynamite Fiend.

A report presenting the results OF
their investigation into the Bremerhsven
explosion has been published BY the
Bremen authorities, who intend 1t to
rectify false rumors and stimulate fur
ther inquiries. It states that, according
to Lis En deposition, the name OF the
perpetrator was William King Thom-
son. He was born in Brooklyn in 1880:
His parents, who originally immigrated
from Hamburg to America, are now Nv
ing in Virginia. Thomson was taken
prisoner when running the blockade
during the late war in the United State l.
BE escaped and fled to the South, where
he passed under the name Of Thomas.
BE mentioned one Midlers Skidmore, OF
New York, as an accomplice. With tho
above exceptions he made no reference
to his former crimes or accompllces.
His wife supposed his name was Alex
ander. He had o tattooed arm: There
is no evidence. that he entered into rela.
tions with the underwriters or plotted
against the safety Of vessels previous TO
1875. Nor is there any evidence e1cept
an insurance of 5000 marks on the bar
rel which exploded that be insured any
goods to be shipped by the Mosel' or
Dentschland. Observations made by
Thomson point to the conclusion that
he intended to hand a small box to the
officers of the Mosel, declaring it CON
timed greenbacks, and that he intended
to have this box insured. In June,
1875, Thomson insured goods on the
steamer Rhein, which had started from
Bremen for New York, for s9,OOO,
through the Barings of London. His
wife's evidence shows that previous to
his departure in November. 1879, Taom'
