Snow in Nevada.

Tn Austin JleeeiUe thus describes a sno#-shoveling scene in that city: "Two men were shoveling snow from a roof. They were absorbed in their work, and din not notice the people who passed over the sidewalk on which they were throwing the snow, first came along a little gin. She tripped along gaily, humming to herself the words of that bcautiftil song, 1 Oh, how I love my teacher.’ Just as she got to ‘Oh, how I love my— gracious!’ two shovelfuls of snow came kerchunk on he'r innocent head, and she sputtered and spit, and thought there was a snow-slide. Then there approached a lady fair. She was tied back, and had overshoes on, and was saying to herself; 'Twenty yards for the dress; fourteen for the overskirt, six dozen buttons—eight and eight’s sixteen and nine’s thirty-three; no; le’s see—owchl’ A bushel or so of snow had been emptied down her back, and she wriggled and squirmed os though an army of fleas were making a forced march down her spine, and hurried home to change her ctothea, The next was a pillar of the churSnJtyho Aev<£ allows his lips to utter guile, tlfwf'h Iflovelful of snow square in the face, liut he only rolled his eyes heavenward and remarked something about the place of future punishment. Three or four small boys were buried up by the snow which t . descended .from the roof by the shovelful, but that little -matter is hardly worthy of mention. 'They will probably be found when tlie big thaw comeß." This incident is related by the White Pine “Judge Wnters, on Wednesday, offered an Indian five dollars if he would find his office door on Main street. The Indian commenced shoveling away tlie snow and was down ten teet or more when the storm set in again, which soon buried the Indian out or sight. He tunneled himself out and, finding the Judge, said: ‘Heap no catch ’em door; maybe Bo thveeVnoons.’ The Judge regrets the failure, and thinks the Indian would have struck tlie door in going down fifteen feet deeper.”
