Railway Mail Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 29,n.-Accord-
ing to accounts received from Superintend-
ent Wilder, of the Railway Mail Service,
overland mail is now arriving daily by the
Southern route, and is dispatched from
this city by the same line. No information
could be given as to when the blockade
would be raised. THE best evidence"
said Mr.. Wilder, that the blockade still
exists comes from the fact that trains and
8, which were to leave here at $3.50 and s
P. NJ. to- day for Ogden. have been aban-
doned, and take it for granted that the
railroad company is powerless to remove
the obstruction, although working hard to
accomplish that object"

Among the 500 or more passengers snow
bound at Reno is J. G. Stubs, the Fourth
Vice President of the Southern Pacific, who
is returning from an extended Eastern trip.
Reno is not widely advertised as winter
resort; indeed. just now there is said to be
much sickness there, but the reports are
that Mr.. Stubs is getting all the fun he
can out of Reno life. Sleigh rides and
coasting are among the winter recreahons
of Reno folks at present, as well as visiting

Among the severe snowstorms which Wis
tied New England in the last century was
the famous one of 1880. In many places the
snow was piled up to the second story win
dows of tall houses, while those of one story
were showed under. The author of "Glimpses
of Life in Westborough" tells several anec-
dotes illustrative of the straits in which the
snow placed the people of that town.
A farmer, James Bowman, discovering in
the morning that the snow reached to the
second story of his house, thought of his
neighbors who lived in one-story houses.
He called his boys and bade them put on
Neighbor Tribbet was suffering tor any
thing.
1t was with difficulty that the boys found
the little house; but a faint line of smoke
on the surface of the snow revealed the Chin
ney, down which they called:
"Anything wanted, Tribbet?'

During this snowstorm, Mr.. Daniel Forbes
was taken sick. When it cleared off COM
pany of eight young men drew his two
daughters on hand-sled TO their fathers

died. At the funeral the clergyman, not
having snowshoes was drawn on a sled to
the house of mourning, by several men. He
