Fashion Notes.

The hand-panted French fans Of satin and
silk are masterpieces of art, and are the most
elegant and fashionable of all the styles late
ly imported.
House jackets are very pretty and service
able, made Of black silk. with revers, cuffs,
pockets and wide collar of black velvet, eth
er plain or embroidered.
Plush collars are one of the gay fancies Of
the season, and these serve to revive the be-
coming colors that have been banished from
the neck since all white became popular.
Mother Hubbard bonnets have square
crowns, towering feathers and faring brims,
which are drawn down at the sides over the
ears and tied under the chin with broad satin
strings. Arrayed in one Of these bonnets
and enveloped in Mother Hubbard cloak
made Of Roman plaids, young lady of the
period might pass for weary wandering
relic of the sixteenth century.

cold weather, with frosty nights, that has
prevailed here for two weeks, modified yes
terday morning, and at 8 o'clock a. NJ to-day,

prospect of prolonged storm. The farmers
in this vicinity have commenced blowing on

come.

Serious Railroad Accident on "Tte
HILL"
CoLFAx, November 2Sth-Fifteen cars on
freight train No. were badly wrecked this
A. NJ, Just about Cape Horn, three miles east
of here. Ten cars, loaded with cattle and
merchandise, went over the embankmeut,
while the other five were piled up pro-
miscuously on the track. Although most
Of the cars were totally demolished,
the train men escaped unharmed, and COM
paratively few CT the cattle were killed !;
but large number got loose and scattered
over the hills. Superintendent Pratt arrived
promptly at the scene with the wrecking car,
from Sacramento, aud before evening the
wreck will be cleared and the track repaired.
The east and west-bound overland trains
transferred passengers, mails and express
around the wreck, thereby saving much de-
lay. A broken wheel is supposed to have
caused this disaster.
Safety of the COlima.
SAN Francisco, November 2Sth.-It hav.
ing been reported, on the authority of Dame
Rumor, that the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company steamer Colima had been blown
up, and $50 lives lost inquiry was made at
the Office of II. B Williams, the agent of the
company. The following note from him to
the Call viii correct the false impression :
SAN FRANCISCO, November q, 1881.
Editor Call-Dear Sir: On my return to
the city this morning, find your note of the
26th. The papers yesterday announced the
arrival of the Colima at Panama, November
21st. This is all / know about her. She
should remain there until the 2Sth. If any
thing had happened to her at Panama we
would be likely to hear Smething Of it.
Yours, ID. b. WILLIAMS.

have been up the North Fork great many
times. The last time went up that branch
of the American was about four months ago.
I have seen sand deposits all along the river
as far up as have gone. The sand on the
upper portion is like this sample THodgdon,
No. 81. The bed Of the river near Folsom
has filled up from twenty-five to thirty
feet. The deposit fills up the entire
channel from bank to bank. When I
went there In 1851 there were no sand
deposits of this character in the river. The
rapids that / spoke of have been all COW
cred up to the depth Of many feet. The first
freshet OF the year carries away portion of
this sandy deposit. During the summer this
sand ia deposited in large quantities in the
channel. | first noticed that the water car
ried large amount OF sediment about 1862.
TIE SAND AND SEDIMENT
Come from the upper portions of the river.
There Is very little farming along the North
Fork; its course is between high hills I
have been up the river to the junction of the
North and Middle Forks. The water in both
those streams was muddy and very mrch
alike. The hishest food we have had st Fol
som was in 1862. This food was six or seven
feet higher than any food before or since.
Tne Granite Mills were washed away. They
