that snow fell Saturday night as low down
the hill as Applegate's, which was the first
| time such thing had occurred at this sea-
son of the year.
Friday night and Saturday great numbers
of wild geese flew over the city. They were
very irregular as TO their flight, some going

exactly sure of it.

Chief Jackson has received letter from
Edwin I. Heath, of Rock Glen, Wyoming

of age, who came to California about 80
years ago. but has not written home for %
years Some one told his son tina he was
now living in Sacramento.
The passenger train from San Francisco
was half an hour behind time in its arrival
yesterday morning owing to the fact that
the ferry steamer Solano plying between
Port Costa and Benicia, was laid up for re-
pairs to her machinery, and the passengers
had to come up by way of Vallejo. The
Solano was again in service yesterday after
noon.
a storm prevailed on the hill yesterday
and last evening. Two feet of snow have
fallen at the Summit since the present bad
weather commenced. At II o'clock last
night the barometer was low, and did not
indicate any immediate improvement in
the weather. In Sacramento at that hour
the barometer was rising a little.
As the excursion train was returning
from the Odd Fellows picnic at Folsom,
Saturday evening an inebriated individual
fell from the rear platform of one of the
cars into pool of water, between Patter-
sons and Brighton. The train did not
stop, the train men not knowing that any
thing had dropped. He escaped with no
other injury than severe ducEng.
Police Judge Henry Saturday evening
arrested Isaac Franklin for selling obscene
pictures, and the case will probably come
up for hearing before Justice Tubbs to-day
Franklin was selling at Fifth and J streets,
photographs representing females in very
scanty clothing-tights and trunks mainly.
If this case is made to stick many dealers
III variety goods and pictorials will be liable
TO arrest
The attendance at the Gait public school
for the sixth and seventh months of the
term was as follows: Greatest number
belonging 103, average number belonging
81, average number attending IS. per cent
attending 81. The teachers are glad to re-
port that the library book advertised as lost
sometime since has been returned The
library still continues to be very well
patronized by the scholars.
Some rascally individual or individuals,
when the excursion train for Natoma
Grove was passing Eighth and + streets
Saturday morning, threw rotten eggs at the
passengers on the car platforms They
were awful bad eggs-evidently had ex-
pended a great deal of time in getting bad
and gentleman who was struck by one
of them smelled as unsavory as though he
had been attending a successful skunk
hunt. He was very select until after he
had effected change of clothes at Folsom
No one crowded him. The perfume en-
anating from the debris on the car platform
was more powerful than the seven stinks
of Cologne united in caucus, and whenever
the car door was opened there was a smoth-
cred shrek of "0hr' as the ladies applied
their handkerchief to their noses. Chief
Jackson, who was one of the excursion
lists, telegraphed back from Folsom for
officers to hunt up the thrower of the bad
hen fruit, but, though inquiry was made,
the party could not be found.
About l P. NJ. yesterday an individual
somewhat under the influence of liquor
used abusive language to an old man in the
saloon on the northeast corner of Front and
X street. Archie Mcdonald, who was ac
ting as barkeeper during the temporary alb
sence of the proprietor, interfered. The
troublesome customer thereupon showed
disposition to pitch into" Mcdonald, but
the latter struck him two or three blows,
the last stretching him senseless upon the
floor A crowd soon collected, report
having spread that the man was dead. Two
or three police officers and Chief Jackson
were soon investigating the matter and
found that the man was not hurt much,
though little vein in his forehead had
been punctured by piece of glass from a
pane in the window which broke when he
was knocked against it, and blood from
this injury covered his face Mcdonald
broke one of the bones of his hand in
] striking him < tho ipJivi1uol lpncl-ed
