THE BEAUTIFUL.
A Slight Fall of Snow in This Northern
Citrus Belt.

Citrus Belt.
The Signal Service reports show that the
storm of yesterday began with light rain
at P. NJ, and continued until 2:45 p. NJ,
when rain ceased and snow began falling,
and continued until 3:15 P M, at which
time there was about half an inch
of unmelted moist snow upon the
roofs of buildings, ETC. There was
about one and half inches of
snow. The snow that collected in the snow
gauge amounted to 10 of an inch of water
(melted SNOWY, while the rain gauge showed
total of 20 of an inch of rain and melted
snow combined. This makes 2 80 inches
of moisture for January, and sos inches
for the season, as against 80 inches to an
equal date last year. During the rain of
yesterday the temperature was $40, and
while the snow was falling it dropped to
33' and rose again to $40 shortly after the
snow ceased. The wind during the rain
was southerly, and from II to Is miles per
hour, lille during the time it showed the
wind was from the west and travelling from
to . miles per hour. The clouds were
moving rapidly and low, from the south
west.
The average temperature YESTERDAY was
but $50, being 50 cooler than the normal
Tor that day. The highest and lowest tenn
perature was 450 and 80, with brisk south
erly winds and weather clear to rainy,
snowy and fair. There was considerable
snow on the roofs of buildings, ETC.. at 10
O'Clock last night. As was said above, the
temperature during the snow-storm fell to
33' while at o'clock the thermometer
reached $50, or 80 warmer than during the
storm. 1t was said few days ago that
there was stretch of snow from the At
lantic to the eastern borders of California:
but expect that for few minutes yester-
day it might be said that an unbroken line
OF snow stretched from the Atlantic to the
Pacific; but the glorious climate of Califor-
MIA vii! not allow such an assertion TO stand
good for more than few minutes at
time.
The sky at the o'clock observation last
night was entirely clear of Clouds while at
7:25 P. NJ. the sky was clouded. The
barometer is extremely low (29 so inches,
and appears to be still falling The tenn
perature yesterday at A. NJ Pacific time),
was For Red Bluff, 800; San Francisco,

be noticed that Chicago, Denver and Sacra-
mento all had the same temperature (36o),
while st. Louis was 40 warmer than San

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE
CEREMONY OF RECEPTION.
Four Young Ladies Take the White Vel
in the st. Joseph's Convent.

Four Young Ladies Take the White Veil
in the st. Joseph's Convent.
Yesterday afternoon, at the convent of
the Sisters of Mercy, in this city, four
young ladies-Miss Lizzie King of Rose
vile, Miss Nellie Nolan of Oakland, and
Misses Maggie Smith and Ellen McEnerny
of Sacramento-received the white veil.
and were admitted to sisterhood. The
ceremonies were deeply impressive and
were conducted by Bishop Manogue.
assisted by Fathers Grace and Haupts. The
Bishop and number of priests first came
to the altar, which is in the largest room of
the building, and after he had said some
prayers and the choir had rendered some
selections, the coming of the ladies was
awaited. In few moments the procession
commenced. -Four sisters, who had al
ready taken the white veil, but not the
black, led, followed BY other
sisters and the four young ladies.
All held lighted candles in their
hands. The four who were about to
receive the veil took their stations at the
altar in front of the Bishop, and one by
one they were called up, made their VOWS
and were blessed. They appeared much
impressed by the ceremony, and many of
L
recipients were dressed in white and were
covered by long white wells. These SEEM
ingly happy young ladies had already re-
celved the cap, at which time no ceremony
OF Importance was performed, and at this
time the white wells. In six months
hence these sisters can receive the black
veil, when an important ceremony is per
formed. If before that time. they wish to
withdraw from the sisterhood they can;
but once the black veil is taken there can
be no withdrawal. There was large num-
Der of persons present to witness the spec
tacle, among whom were the following
Fathers Grace and Haupt of Sacramento;
insolvency, of Oakland; Leo, of Boston,
Mass; Coleman, of Woodland Torney. of
Auburn, Maloney, of Suffer- Lehe, of Locke
ford Seaman, of San Francisco and a few
others. After the services Bishop Manogue
delivered an instructive sermon, in which
he said that these girls had done most
pleasing thing to God, and were on the
direct road TO eternal glory.

came to town yesterday, feeling better, and

him yesterday until toward evening, when
someone found him lying across the rail-
road track beyond the slough. He men,

found him placed him in a caboose car,
built fire and then notified the police
Upon going to the car where he was lett
the police found it vacant, and up to a late

his whereabouts. Luft is an old fireman,

This excess of expenditures" for 1887
over 1886, it will be observed is in the last
item-the amount RENTED to the United
States Sub-Treasury, or a surplus turned
over to the Government, and should not
therefore, in reality, be termed an expen-
diture, but rather the balance forwarded
from the Office. The amount so RENTED
for the fourth quarter of 1887 was Sc, 1852 AZ,
as against SO, 500 81 for the fourth quarter
of 1886, an increase of 81, 562 90.
The salary of the Postmaster was in
creased 500, commencing with the fiscal
year of 1887, on account of an increase of
receipts for 1886. The Office is now rated
in the class, the receipts of which are S45,-
600 per annum. In order for the Office to
reach the next class, there must be fur
ther increase of SIS, 600 in the office receipts,
making the total for year 100000 This
class will be reached by the next fiscal
year, as it will be observed that the receipts
of the office during the last quarter of 1887
were between $4,000 and SIS, 000

Advertising Sacramento Valley.

The plan for advertising Sacramento
valley and the central and northern part
of the State, which has heretofore been
suggested and advocated by the RECORD
UNION, is meeting with approval by the
far-seeing and practical men of the valley.
R. B. Blowers has written letter to the
Woodland Nail in which he says:
In Sacramento The members of an or
ganization styled The Improvement Asso-
citation of Northern California are raising
fund of $4,000 or more for the purpose of
building and maintaining permanent ex-
position building near the railroad depot at
Sacramento, and advertise on trains and
otherwise.
Now 1t is proposed by the movers of
this enterprise, who have already secured
81, 500, to make further liberal collections
provided the other counties above named
Will Join them and send one or two exhi-
bition cars East filed with the choicest
productions of the counties interested, in
charge of representative men familiar with
the climate, conditions and productions of
the State, furnished with illustrative maps
and the publications of the counties rep
resented. They would also be furnished
with lists of lands for sale, giving prices so
that intending emigrants could make
Element. 1t is proposed to send the ex-
hibits to northern and Eastern cities at
tend State fairs, give lectures on the climate
and productions of the country, and in all
other ways most expedient advertise the
capabilities of the section. Knowing that
object lessons are the surest means of Civ
ing correct knowledge, this knowledge is
all that is wanting to induce thousands of
industrious citizens to choose this land for
their future happy homes.
at is expected that the railroad COM
pany will cooperate with this movement
to the extent of cars and transpor atoms, as
they have the first and most direct interest
in the movement.
A movement of this kind is not alone
of interest TO everyone pecuniarily, but is
of a far greater interest to one who loves
his fellow men and is delighted in seeing
others enjoy the benefits of pleasant homes
| in an unequaled climate Probably this
movement can be made under the auspices
of the State Board of Trade and directed by
| the county Boards, providing the original
| movers at Sacramento should approve of
that method"

The Camp Fund,


At meeting of the officers of the First
Artillery last Tuesday evening, the late
camp question was discussed. 1t appears
that the regiment is about $500 short, and
is thinking that it will assess the diff
ferent companies to make good the def
cheney. There has evidently been bad
management somewhere. The regiment
received So, 100 last year from the State to
carry on the camp. This, together with
81, 600 donated by the citizens CT Santa
Cruz would be 81 100 to carry on the affair
The cost for transportation, for the round
trip, per man, was 81 so, and, we believe,
s. 80 for the Cadets. At the camp preced-
ing this the regiment paid S. % per man
for mileage, though it did not carry as many
men, but the increased rate and the fact
that they had to pay for teaming (at the
last camp the baggage was hauled by Gov
eminent wagons tree of expense) would al
most balance the matter. An assessment
on the companies would go hard with
them.
COUNTY JAIL REPoRT.-Jailer Newbert

The amount of increase thus shown in
single month would. if extended through
out a year, at the same ratio. give an in
crease of 12l ,24S pieces Of mail matter,
volume of business equal to the entire re-
ceipts and deliveries of many good sized

simply increase in the business of the

stantial increase of trade and the prosper
ity that is being enjoyed by the Capital
City.
