SUBSTANTIAL SrRUcTUREs.-A report that
gained credence on the streets Saturday,
that the Sacramento warehouses, the prop
erty of Drew & Clunie, on the bank of
the Sacramento river, at Front street, sus-
tanned heavy damage, both to the buildings
and the goods therein contained has been
found 10 be wholly without foundation
The buildings, which cover nearly a block
of ground, are solid brick structures erected
during the past year, and are the most COM
plete and substantial in this section. They,
notwithstanding their isolated position
withstood ;he heavy wind-storm, and
the hundreds of thousands OF dollars worth
of produce stored therein have not been dam
aged by either wind or rain to the extent of
cents worth. 50 confident are the pro-
prietors of the strength and soidity of their
storehouses that they assert that nothing
short of first-class Kansas blizzard would
have any effect upon them.
RAINFALL OBsERvATIoNs.-Allp persons in
northern, central or southern California
who are taking rainfall observations. will
confer q favor on Sergeant Barwick by
sending their records TO him for tabulation
and publication. If those who keep con-
slant record will send the Sergeant their
address ne will furnish them with official
postal cards, upon which to send report
of the rainfall at the end of each month,
without expense to the parties taking the
observations. The greater the number of
observers reporting monthly, the better for
the State. If the highest and lowest aver
age temperature, along with the prevailing
direction of wind could be added monthly,
it would make the reports all the more val
liable
