Funeral Wednesday

The news of the death Of Pete N.

Owing to the fact that Mr.. Cur

evening, having come in town on
horse back and some of his neigh
bors seeing his horse around the
place and finding he was not at
home they notified the city author
ltie and early Monday morn

and unfortunately found him some
distance from his home. It could
eaily- -.be seen that just . little dis

was found fozen perfectly stiff. .
: He was unmarried and lived on
his small farm a short distance from
town. He leaves one sister, Mrs. p.

his loss besides his many numerous
friends who will greatly miss him.
/. Funeral services wero held over

times freeze over. I have seen a
thin skum Of ice on the puddles in
the road. But you will have to get
out early in the morning to sec that.
A few days ago We saw on Mount
Hamilton, thirty miles to the east
Of where Lick Observatory is locat-
ed, some snow glitening in the
morning sun. But before noon it
was gone. Late winter at one time
there was quite an unususal fall OF
snow on the mountains, and man
went up with q double wagon and
a number of barrels and filled them
with snow and brought it down to
the city of San Jose and took it to
one of the public school grounds,
and the people gathered from all
around, and such a time as they had
snow balling. OF cou1e the snow
didn't last very long, but there was
huge fun while it did last. What

prot the phrase as the boy did to
mean salt, pepper, vinegar, and
mustard; !. he really knows but two
seasons, summer and winter; or
more exactly, the dry and the wet
seasons The dry season extends
from April to October, and the wet
season from October to April. This
does not imply by any mee ns that
for six months it is perfectly dry,
and for the other six months per-
fectly wet. But very little Of the
rain fall comes during the dry sea-
son. From April to October We do
not look for any rain at any time;
from October: to April, we are not
surprised to SEQ rain at any time.
Last August We had q very heavy
rainstorm, and the oldest inhabitan
said he never saw the like before.
