The No. 2 passenger this morning was
here several hours, waiting for the ro

only four or five inches of snow at Pen
dleton when he left last night about 9
o'clock.

The man with the broken snow shovel
is the most sorrowful or the most happy
looking individual in town, the looks
depending largely on the man's tem
perament and bis desire for work.
Several cases have occurred today
wherein persons have "come off the roof"
without an invitation. We saw one case
of this kind and when the man who
"came off" struck the ground he was
4 fairly in it and out of sight.
After all it is quite as well on such oc-
casions as the present that the author of
"Beautiful Snow" is unknown. For the
ultimate peace of his misguided soul it
is to be hoped said author or authoress
will forever remain a mystery. j l
The east hound passenger came in this
morning about 6 o'clock behind four
engines, losing nearly seven hours in the
run from Bonneville, fifty miles.; The
west bound with two engines arrived in
at 9 o'clock, only five hours late
be Regulator arrived this morning,
having laid at Memaloose island all
night. She broke her rudder stock
which caused the delay. Quite a num
ber of passengers came up on her, and
she brought quite a lot of freight, among
which were several tons of sturgeon.
In spite of the storm last night, the
members of the Union Dancing Club
decided to give their usual party, and
sleighs were accordingly sent for the
adies and most of the gentlemen, j
Quite a number at length gathered, and
the usual pleasant evening was spent.
The Lake County Examiner gives a
graphic account of a rabbit drive in that
section recently. A tight board corral
was made and everybody turned out to
enjoy the sport. The first day 1,700
rabbits were killed and the next day
800 more were gathered in. They had
gotten so numerous as to become a per
fect nuisance, but this ought to thin
them out.
Telegrams from Portland state that it
is raining there today, and as far east as
Troutdale. The snowfall at the Locks is
not nearly so heavy as here. We seem
to be in the very center of the storm, the
snow being much deeper here than on
either side of us. At Walla Walla this
morning there were only ten inches, and
about the same at Pendleton. The in-
' -njications now are that we shall have
there ain, which will make a decidedly in
teresting mess of our three feet of the
beautiful.
That "sound of revelry by night,"
last night was caused by the shriekful
squawk of the fair Dalles maiden as her
escort pick-a-backed her through the
snow from the sidewalk to the sleigh
which carried her to the dancing party.
160, pounds of Dalles maiden on the
shoulders of 120 pounds of Dalles youth
was what made the storm king get on
his ear and send down more of the fleecy.
Some of the girls were ."up in arms"
against the proceedings.

Two Trne Snow Stories.
A New Tear's Sentiment.
There is some snow this morning, but
the snow is not so plentiful as the stories
concerning other heavy snowfalls. We
have heard some pretty tough ones, too
tough to hear printing, but some of the
milder ones might not break the type.
One narrator told a gentle one about
driving three thousand head of
sheep onto the head of the John Day.
A heavy snow came on, that fell so thick
and fast that the eheep were soon cov
ered to the depth o twelve feet. A
sleet came on top of this moistening the
snow, and this being followed by a cold
snap the crust froze solid. The sheep
began to move around under this crust,
the warmth of their bodies melting holes
through the crust in places so that they
had plenty of air. The grass started, be
irfg protected from the cold, and when
spring, came and the snow began to melt
the owner who thought he had lost his
whole band, happening by that way,
heard the old bell-wether and on pros
pecting was delighted to discover the
whole flock alive and in good condition
for mutton.
Another small yarn was told on one
Abe Ritchie, an old mountaineer of Cal
ifornia, who got caught in a terrible
storm above Woodford's on the head of
the Carson river. Abe took refuge under
a big pine tree, and the snow fell an
inch a minute for eleven days. " It struck
us as being remarkable, that a man
could just hit the even figure of a quarter
of-a-mile of snow without batting an
eye, and so we left without hearing the
end of that varn.

Henry Watterson was the lion of the
New England dinner in New York Sat
urday night. After speaking of the ap
pearance before the society several years
ago of Henry W. Grady, he said :
"I appeal from the men in silken hose,
who danced to music made by slaves
and called it freedom from the men in
bell-crowned hats, who led Hester
Prynne to her shames and called it re
ligion to that Americanism which
reaches forth its arms to smite wrong
with reason and truth, secure in the
power of both. I appeal from the pa
triarchs of New England to the poets of
New England ; from Endicott to Lowell ;
from Winthrop to Longfellow ; from
Norton to Holmes ; and I appeal in the
name and by the rights of that common
citizenship of . that common origin
back both of the Puritan and the Cava
lier to which all of us owe our being.
Let the dead past, consecrated by the
blood of its martyrs not by its savage
hatred darkened alike by kingcraft and
priestcraft let the dead Dast bury its
dead. Let the present and the future
ring with the song of the singers.
Blessed be the lessons they teach, the
laws thev make. Blessed be the eye to
see, the light to reveal. Blessed be Tol
erance, sitting ever on tne rignt nana oi
God to guide the way with loving word,
as blessed be all that brings us nearer
the goal of true patriotism, distrust of
watchwords and labels, shams and
heroes, belief in our country and our
selves."

A. New Ore Schute.
The White Swan is certainly the valu
able gold property that its friends have
claimed for it.
On Friday evening last a rich and new
ore vein was struck west in the 150 foot
level and from a vein of three or four
inches it has increased in width until at
the present time it is about four feet
wide, four inches of it showing free gold
to the eye. This find is of greatest im
portance and today the White Swan is
worth five times the money that it was
when Mr. Tarbell took control of the
property only two months ago.
The latest development may change
the aspect of sale negotiations that have
been pending for some time, but to what
extent remains to be seen.

A cow ! The name is very familiar,
and the cow possesses that peculiar fac
ulty of becoming too familar. A cow ! !
The pronunciation is very tame, and so
is the co.w. It is with feelings of uneasi
ness and apprehension that I write this
awe-inspiring name. I feel a quivering
sensation wbene'er 1 see, or near, or
tell of this dark queen of disquietude,
My landlord- being in a state of
whenceneBS, it was my duty to milk the
cow, thus alleviating the responsibili
ties of the careworn matron. 'Twas
with a light and buoyant heart that I
went out into the pasture on that event
ful evening for Old Brindle, proud Old
Brindle! -Well I remember the majes
tic toss of her queenly head as she gazed
upon my manly bosom. Nothing lotto
she hastened homward.
After driving her into the barn,
tnrew tne rouk bucket upon my arm
and marched bold I v to her Bide. Stand !
and she stood ; Hist ! and she histed,
and I found myself in a pile of old har
ness in the rear of the barn, a collar
around my neck, the lines wrapped ee
curely around my feet knd a bridle bit
in my mouth. Everything betokened a
disturbance of no quiet nature. I must
confess that I felt extremely cowed. I
let the calt milk that cow and I re
paired to the house to bathe my weary
joints with arnica.. I'm not afraid of a
cow at all, but the milk does not pay for
the loss of equilibrium.

We have heard a story that Beems to
bear the evidences of truth about it, to
the effect that a grave in Sunset ceme
tery had been opened by parties evt
dently intending to rob it. It seems
that some time ago, the body of a little
grandchild of S. B. Adams was removed
from some other graveyard to the Sun
set cemetery. At the time it was noticed
that the coffin seemed very heavy and it
was suggested that the body was petri
fied. A few days ago Mr. Frisco in
formed Mr. Adanaa. that, someone had
been digging into the grave. Mr. Adams
accompanied by 'Mr. Barnett, went out
to tbe cemetery, and an investigation
disclosed the fact that the dirt had been
removed from the grave and the coffin
opened, although all had been carefully
replaced. It is supposed the story of the
petrification caused the work to be done,
and on this being found incorrect the
ghouls tried to conceal their work. ' , '
