Effects of the Storm.

The sudden and short lived blizzard
OF Thursday which came I'VE the
mountains between five and six
o'clock in the evening was o OF the
sharpest weather visitatiOnS which
has been recorded for many a veal.
There had been a dead calm in the
air and warm sunshine for a week or
ten days, but just before the blow the
wind came from the west, the south
east and then veered about from the
north, where it settled The tempera-
ture fell with a thud and the slect and
snow was driven almost parallel with
the ground for nearly a hour. Dur
ing about fifteen minutes of that time
it was almost impossible for a man to
face the icy blast, but it went as
quickly as it came and by night the
sky was blue and the stars shining in
the west.
Yesterday was clear and calm but
somewhat colder. The effect Of the
storm was most observable on Washoe
Lake. 1t broke up the ice and piled
it on the south shore 10 big masses
ten and fifteen feet high. l. mixed mp
some boats with the mass and came
very nea destroying the boa houses.

A Queer Find.

Yesterday HyDowos was over to
Washoe Lake to see what the storm
had done when he saw some geese
standing in a row up On the side Of
the mountain.
He crawled up until he got a snap
shot and gave them both barrels. The
geese hudged. He went up and
found hat they we're all froZe fast in
a cake Of ice and had been blown up
on the hill side by the blizzard. Their
feet were frozen fast to the ice, 1t is
supposed that the birds were feeding
on the ice where the water was about
a quarter Of an inch deep aud the sud
den fall Of temperature coming on so
quickly they we're n,pped and unable
to get away. The only drawback to
the story Of Mr.. Downs is his failure
to leave a bird at the APPEAL office.
