Pleasant Hill, 9Th District.-The heavy
snow storm of last week so blocked our roads
in many places that our mail carriers (this
Tuesday, have not as yet been able to traverse
their entire routes. On account of the open
condition of the ground it seems that as the
snow is melting, the greater quantity of the
water is finding its way into the soil. This
will materially aid the water supply for next
summer.
The blizzard on Inauguration day prevented
some of our people from seeing the President
of their choice indicted into office, a thing
they very much desired.
