Bridges Swept Away.
SPANIsHTowN. January 29th.-We have
had three pleasant days. This place has
not suffered any considerable damage from
the fearful winter The roads are simply
impossible, and for the second time in
thirty years the mails have TO be carried on
horseback between here and Pescadero.
The lowlands are largely covered with
water. Quite n number of small bridges
have been carried away and many land
slides have blocked the roads. From the
record kept at Point Montara Fog Signal
Station, we have had something over thirty
inches of rain.
Should the weather continue fine our
farmers will begin putting in their crops
with the assurance of large harvest. Up
