most been blockaded with deep snow.
Last Monday night the Eureka stage got
within q couple of miles OF Hamilton,
and there encountered an immense snow
drift, and in ~endeavoring to get through
it, the horses got off the grade. After

shovels and lanterns. and succeeded. az
ter a deal Of hard work, in digging out
the horses and getting the sleigh through
the drifts. The sleigh arrived here about

not by mistake. but because they were
the only one left us to take. We know

shoes by making application at this Of
fee. and no questions asked in regard
to ours.
