n WINTERS.

We have had two successive dry sea
sons in Nevada. Last year was the worst
in that direction in many years. Rains
do our desert lands but little good. The
sandy soil soon absorbs all OF the moist
ure that descends 10 that form. Heavy
SHOWS alone insure abundant water and
grass in Nevada. We have been observ.
ing for many years some peculiarities in
this regard. The deep SHOWS that come
down evenly all wei the earth's surface
are not the kind from which we derive
the greatest benefit. The bowling bliz-
card, blowing and drifting the snow to
hundreds Of feet in depth in the noun
tain canyons and gorges, is the kind OF
storm that sticks and pays in this State.
When these conditions prevail the snow
supply abides in the higher mountains
until midsummer. Then it is that the
feed is good and all Of the springs and
streams afford ample water throughout
the year. The present Winter may thus
far be accounted a dry Winter, but it is
not too late yet for q satisfactory deposit
of snow If it will only come upon us I'M
der proper conditions. We must have
not only a good fall of snow, but IL must
be accompanied with a high twisting and
whirling wind, in order to deposit it in q
way to be of the greatest benefit.

the purpose Of experimenting in the mat

The San Francisco Alta says: The Lon.
don Times would have been q million
dollars in pocket il Piggott had commit
ted suicide before it had any dealings
with him. No matter how dearly the
Times may pay for its experience, the
miserable wretch who made it the victim
Of his vulgar rascality has paid still desrer
for his crime. Death by his own hand,
and a name covered with obloquy for all
time to come. A nominal Catholic, mis-
body cannot rest in consecrated ground.
To his children he has left a legacy Of
ineffable shame. Besides being a forger,
perjurer and swindler, penal offenses, he
was o traitor and an informer, moral
crimes that stink in the nostrils OF all
humanity. So far as the Irish race is
concerned, all the crimes in the calendar
may be summed up in the n word
INFORMER; but Pigott seems to have
been guilty of SO many offenses that emu
meration becomes tedious. Swindling,
blackmailing, forgery, perjury-endinR
in suicide and the burial of one outcast
and accursed. Retribution has been swift
and complete.
