GOING DOWN AT FARGO
A TERRIBLE AVALANCHE.
Mapy..Lives Lost by Snow : de Into the
Streets of Nevada Town,

Mapy..Lives Lost by Snow sIde Into the
Streets of Nevada Town.
Frcn the Genoa Courier.
The avalanche that came down the noun
tains at Genoa, Nevada, last Thursday
morning was of great ex emf. Occurring as
it did at $50 in the morning. when most
IF the people were in bed, the wonder is
that most # the residents Of the town did
not lose their lives. The first intimation
the people had was q rumbling sound like
that of an earthquake. Bells W re rupg,
and cries for assistance passed aolg the
streets by those who we're up. The shoe
cana down the gorge Immediately south Of
Genoa Canyon and swept everything bsfore
IT as far as Main street. No obstacle
checked this moving mountain of snow IN
Ill it spread out and lost its force on the
nearly level piece Of land IN which Genoa
is built full a quarter of mile from the
base of the mountain.
At this time it is impossible to estimate
the 10, 8 Of property. Everything is chaos.
Broken lumber, splRters of furniture, pine
and fruit trees, hay, clothing. kitchen ware
and bedding are distributed through
body of snow and ice from ten to fifty feet
in depth and several feet across. The
"Long" building. which stood nearest the
mountain, was occupied by Indians driven
from their wigwams by the severity of the
storm. AS near as can be ascertained but
seven were in the house at the time of the
catastrophe. No trace OF the building can
be recoy oynized, and as yet no search has
been made for its occupants.
Next came the residence and barn of Min
cred Bowers, which was completely crushed
to pieces and carried into the adjoining lot
of D. ". Virgin. Minerod and his wife
ger, found still in their bed and almost on
Top of the snow and debris, both dead.
The residences of D. W. Virgin, W. D.
Grey and that of b. Boerlin were on the
next street below Bowers. Boerlin's house
WIS completely demolished. The occu-
pants were Mr. and Mrs. Boerlin, their two
children and Mr.. Chisholm and wife. All
were bulied in the ruins.

Kicking nffhe Old Fusee.

In speaking of Mr.. Bsecher's denuncia-
zion of the anti Chinese bill. the Cincin-
cinnati Commercial says that there is
danger that the bottom element Of society
win get too strong not only in New York
but in other cities Of the ne Y world. The
danger is not more in aecessions from Eu-
rope than from Asia, but both elements
rushing in are more than the forces OF high
civilization can overcome or neutraiize.
The anti Chinese bill is simply the danger
Gag displayed" Harpers Weekly, very
staid, caatious and conservative, says the
only benefit to be anticipated is that, as we
have now decided 10 regulate immigration,
we shall exclude every class whose coming

The national welfare" Perhaps tine intel
lectual Dennis Kearneys who engineered
this movement will be surprised to ind
how the old fusee kicks when it gets atire.

CRIMES.

Thomas Connors, mate of the War Eagle, at
Dubuque, assaulted John J. Sullivan, aresi-
dent Of Dubuque, with heavy club, infiicting
severe wounds on the head and face from
which blood flowed copioualy. Connors then
drew arevolver and threatened to shoot the FIRST
man who molested him. He managed to es-
cape the officers by the departure of the boat for
the south. Sullivan was severely, though not
fatally injured.
1t is learned that James Fitzgerald, who
swindled Charles T. Adams out Of large sum
of money, is q well known criminal in that line,
whose first operations were in Milwaukee He

swindling more profitable, and engaged in nu-
merous schemes, all OF them, however, less in
amount than the last.

Perley's Washington Letter.

Several generations of Longfellow's an
cestors lived on noble farm at the head OF
the river Parker, in the Bydeld parish Of
the old town of Newbury, which is still the
family homestead. The poet had never
been there until some eight years since.
when had the pleasure of meeting him and
Charles Sumner at the Newburyport sta.
ton, and driving them there. From Byfeld
we went to Indian Hill, and after dinner |
drove them to Amesbury, where they called
on John G.. Whittier, and thence to New i.
buryport, where they took the cars for Ma.
hant. OF the many days recorded in
my diary, there is not one that has more
pleasant "reminiscences than this one, for
sumner and Lonefellow were lifelong
friends, and their conversation and com.
ments on what tn y saw we're deeply inter-
esting. While on / ,dian Hill they planted
an oak-tree which will be O monument to
the statesman and the poet while the Eng
lish language is one of earth's tongues, and
the Massachusetts thay SO lo-ed is a COM
monweaith. Longfellow mourned for Sum-
ner as few other men did, for he knew his
ueart secret and how he had been wronged.
Nov he has followed his friend, and we can
all say in the words of Beaumont:
"rbe peace OF heaven
The Fellowship of all g. eat souls so with thee.
