The storm.

Last Saturday night and all the
next day, Sunday, the wind blew a
perfect gale here. 1t was the heav-
lest wind storm ever known to visit
this section of the country. Stove
pipes, outhouses, fences, tree lin be,
and other movable objects filled the
air at intervals-short ones, too
and it was dangerous for persons to
be on the streets. The wind was
cold and orchards and gardens suf-
fered greatly. In many orchards
all the fruit was blown from the
trees, and in others but little is left
that is not blighted, while garden
truck was moved down as with a
scythe. Monday morning there was
about an inch of snow on the
the ground, but it melted away that
day, and that night there was a
light frost. Cucumbers, tomatoes,
corn, beans and melons which were
doing nicely will have to be plant
ed over. There will not be more
than half fruit crop. The weather
does not seem to be settled yet and
we are just as liable to have more
snow and ice as not.

what is An Anthemg

People who know little about

those who know all about it. An
old sailor had heard in church an
anthem, which greatly pleased him.
He was telling shipmate, who ask

to say you don't know what a ham

Spring in Mason Valley, writes a
correspondent. Alfalfa is two or
three weeks ahead of the average
time for crops, strawberries have
ripened three weeks before the
usual time, and all kinds of small

Not much damage was done by the
