Hay SEED FROM MASON VALLEY


A. 7. Brann is rusticating in Cali

DIR. Leayitt has gone to New Jersey
to visit his parents.
Kimber Cleaver has new boy at
his house. He brought no baggage
with him, but he evidently came to
stay.
The river has been very high, but it
is down little now, with good pros.

coming warm weather.
The ladies of the M. E. Church gave
festival last week 1t was well
attended, and, considering the hard
times, quite a sum was realized.
More rain has fallen in the Valley
this Spring than for years. Showers are
of almost daily occurrence, and are of
great benefit to the growing crops, all
of which are doing we'll. Feed is
abundant everywhere.

SIN H.rping ON the weather.


While our people were growing last
Sunday because few drops of rain
fell within the limits of the town, it
probably never occurred to them to
speculate on the extent of the storm in
less favored localities. The BuLIE.
TINS Coryville correspondent says it
was the heaviest storm experienced
there in years and the Carson appeal
says that further accounts from the
Genoa hail storm which struck the
city on Sunday, show that it must have
been quite an extraordinary visitation.
The stones fell as if shot ont of the
clouds from gun, and some are
asserted to be as large as hens eggs.
This is doubtless an over estin ate, but
most of them were certainly as
large as walnuts and came down
with such force that nearly all the
fowls that did not get under cover were
killed. Over two hundred young tur.
keys were killed, and some lay bleed
ing on the ground after the storm had
passed. An hour before the storm the
sky was perfectly clear, when heavy
cloud foated over the city from the
mountains on the west and rear of the
town, and they seemed to belch forth
the hail without the slightest warning.
Inside of few minutes the hail was
six inches deep in the streets and
people rushed into their houses to
escape. Men who were out in the
fields were pelted with these stones
until it was painful, the animals
rushed frantically about snorting in
terror. Young calves were beaten to
the ground and lay there bleating pite-
ously. The trees were stripped of
foliage and vegetables, growing in the
gardens, derived of every leaf
Potato vines were beaten fiat to the
ground and stripped and windows
smashed in. The storm was of short
duration and seemed TO PASS to the east
toward Cradelbaugh's ranch. Parties
from Genoa estimate the damage from
two to five thousand dollars. All of
which goes to show that Hawthorne is
one of the Favored spots on the earth.

The "Esmeralda Romance"

The following letter from our Rep.
resentative robs Eli Johnson's applica.
ton for pension of all its alleged
romance and places him right before
his many friends:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, d. c., May %, 1884. /
Mr.. ELI JOHNSON, LUNTNG, NV
My Dear Sir Your claim for pen.
sion, through an error in the Pension
Bureau, gave you annoying notoriety.
The Pension Office thought they had
discovered something in the nature of
a romance and gave the alleged facts
to the press. On receipt of your sec.
ond letter, in which you vigorously
protested that you had never been
dead or married in Ohio, / went again
to the office about the matter. The
authorities there still insisted that
they were right. Then l demanded
that special examiner be sent out to
Ohio to investigate Mrs. Sill, your
alleged widow. 1t was my opinion
that the said Mrs. Sill was mythical
being, gotten up by some of the
swindling pension agents here in
Washington to collect your pension
and thus pocket the money honestly
due you. l held the papers until l
could get at the bottom facts in the
case. am not yet certain that Mrs.
Sill was not myth. The Department
has not informed me of her exact
status, or whether she is a real person
of flesh and blood. But no matter
about that. The Department informs
me that she is not your widow, as you
will see by the accompanying letter.
This is official. You will doubtless
be gratified to have it thus officially
declared that you are neither polyga-
mist or bigamist, between which, by
the way, l never could discern any
legal difference. There is possibility
that all of this muddle grew out of a
clerical error in the Department con.
founding your case with that OF man
of the same name from Ohio. But, as
above stated, the Department does not
explain how they got things SO badly
mixed. All they admit is that you are
not too muchly married, and that the
said Mrs. Sill had no legal connection
with you, either as wife or widow.
That is, suppose, as far as we will
ever be able to get them to go. But
now that the case has been relieved of
any entangling alliances, offensive and
defensive, l will see that it is moved
along to an early, and, hope, favor
able consideration. You will see by
the inclosed circulars that some addi-
tional evidence is required, which you
will, of course, proceed to supply as
soon as possible. This done, will
give the matter further attention to
the end that it may not be allowed to
sleep the sleep of death in u pigeon
hole. Trusting that we will have no
more complications, am very sim
cerely your friend,
GEO. w. CASSIDY.

A Washers al ceryvills.

Some time ago an embankment was
built across the canon vt Coryville for
the convenience of miners going to
their work, making their road more
direct and thus saving them considera-
BILE of walk. 1t was neglected to
put culvert in it, so that it formed a
dam. The accumulation of water
became so large that on last Wednesday
evening it yielded to the pressure and
sent torrent down the street. The
road was very badly washed out nearly
all of the distance from Coryyille to
Huntoon's. The ore teams have been
laid off, but will probably resume
hauling to-day or tomorrow.
