Communication interrupted.

San Francisco, Feb. 7.-Dispatches
from points in the northern and CEN
trail parts of the state, say, that the
rain that began last night is extending
through the state. The fall SO far is
not heavy, and there will be no danger
of further overflow in the Sacramento
and San joaquin valleys unless warm
rain falls on the high Sierras, where
there isan immense deposit of snow. In
the Sacramento valley the waters are
falling, and the worst is thought to be
over. Many steamers are plying oyer
the submerged plains, taking off people
and stock. The latter had congregated
on the levees, knobs and in barns, even
in some instances standing in shallow
water. The stock was comparatively
safe until strong wind began to blow
yesterday. when the wash became dan
gerous. AS yet, few cases of loss of
human life are reported, but accounts
are coming in of cases here and there
in the overfiown section, where people
were drowned, and the aggregate when
known, will be considerable. There
has been no communication with the
northern sea coast counties for two
weeks.
