records of thirty-fiye years COM
parsons we must conclude that
heavy rains in November are in the major
ity of cases followed by copious rains dur
ing the season, running considerably above
20inches. The rainfall yesterday afternoon
and evening appears to be phenomenal
only at Sacramento, for between noon and
: o'clock there was but II of an inch of
rain precipitated at San Francisco. .O6 of
an inch at Los Angeles, none at Red Bluff.
while IN this city there were 03 inches,
and up to 5 o'clock 1.67 inches.
There were no Signal Service reports
from the coast stations north of Cali
fornia. There was and is an
extremely low barometer in Washington
Territory and Oregon but it is not accom-
panied by either wind or rain except at
Fort Candy, where the wind Yesterday

THE WEATHER-The gale prevailing
early yesterday morning, and acting as an
overture to the heaviest rain-storm of the
season, created such a racket about resi-
dences that few citizens were able to do
their solid morning sleeping; and after the
rain commenced the wind drove it through
unsupported openings in roofs, causing
many dwellings to astonish their occupants
by becoming reservoirs, and thus doing
considerable damage to furniture, plaster
ing, etc. All over the city shrubbery and
trees were more or less injured, and the
orange trees were compelled 10 yield
large portion of their fruit before it was
fully ripe. Several fences were injured,
gates blown down, and blinds torn from
houses. Ladies who had towering plants
exposed in pots found them in very de-
moralized condition. The heavy rain that
followed the breeze soon caused full
cutters, and in several localities, the drain
age being for while choked, sidewalks were
flooded. So far as can be learned the rain
was general, and high river may be ex-
pected tonight and tomorrow. There is
not much snow at the Summit-about two
feet-and yesterday rain was falling as high
up the hill as Cisco. The barometer is still
low at most points heard from. 1t was
very low in this city yesterday morning,
that at the depot registering 1884.
