The storm in california.

Advices from California report a con-
tinuance OF the heavy storm of rain,
and in some SECTORS accompanied with
high winds. The Sacramento river on
Monday was higher han ever before
known. but the city is regarded M safe
from inundation. Much damage has
deem done by the floods throughout the
valley, however, many railroads being
either washed away in places. or sub
merged. Bridges havo been washed
away or damaged to sueh an extent as
to DO impossible, md travel on several
routes has been completely cut of.
TIE Catholic church at Helena. Napa
County, was blown down and consid-
cradle other damage Is reported.
The latest dispatches from SGcra-
monte report that the river is booming,
having risen higher than ever known
before. The rush OF water this morn
ing is tremendous, and great fears are
entertained that the ~levees. guarding
'hO Siby' VIII bie wy. 1ue SlOEh,
both in the valley and on the noun
tains, has been severe, grading from
rain below TO snow above. The foot
hills are flooded, and reports of the
sweeping away Of roads. bridges, etc.,
are rife. The damage is reported great.
The washout Of the track of the SaGra-
mento and Placerville road, above Fol-
son., has been arrested and the dam-
age is being repaired.
The dash OF the American river still
reaches over to the Washington eide
with great fury. The break. which &C.
ourrod six miles below, is letting an
immense flood into the surrounding
country, which is all aaoat. 1t relieved
the pressure for a time, but tho floods
from above are so great that the rise
Of tho water continues.
No trains have been run for two days
between Sacramento and Vallejo.

4 LATE dispatch says Sacramento is
saved from the flood, but at the ex-
pense of the surrounding country. Many
breakes in the levees are reported
above and below the city. The village
OF Washington, opposite Sacramento,
is under water. and all the islands in
the delta OF the river, except Grand
Island, are flooded. The valleys pre-
sent the appearance of a vast lake.
The immense body Of water passing
through the Straits OF Carluincz into
San Francisco Bay causes the pheuo-
Dena Of . continuous ebb tide Oh the
surface Of the bay, tho lood entering
only on the under current. This has
not been observed since tho great Hood
Of 1867.
Travel by rail and stage is much i'm
pedcd throughout the State, except on
the main line Of the Central aud Wes-
tern Pacific.

w. j. O'Toole has purchased farm
in Minnesota and will move thereon
soon. leaving the town minus very
efficient officer.
1t has been reported that all the
wheat raised in the southern part of
the town grades No. l, which is doing
well for this year.
Oak Grove has no candidates for Of
fetal honors, but claims the champion
ship of the county for raising the best
quality of wheat this year, and we
think it can sustain the claim.
William Graham will soon start for
Minnesota, taking with him his thresh-
ing machine. He will then monopo-
lie all the threshing in Travers coun-
ty, his being the only machine in that
county.
Our prospective sheriff, Kllngen-
smith, has succeeded in making many
friends in this town by the persever-
ance he evinces in the discharge of his
official duties. His pertinacity is tru-
" wonderful.
B, r. Comstock has sold his interest
in the Big River Mill to Charles. Jones,
his partner, for IS, 500 and purchased
thu Sam Dudley farm in Clifton for
50, 500. He now owns 324 acres, max
ing one of the finest farms in the
Northwest.
We notice again the smiling counte-
nance of our old time friend, TORY
Barrett, who has been absent in Illi-
lois for nearly year past. lie re-
ports the crops as being below the
average in that part of the State from
