THE LATEST STORM.

By Editor

THE storm of the last week has been even more severe than the one preceding. On the Sierras it has been destructive of railroad property, and occasioned hard labor and suffering. A slide carried away five freight cars on the emigrant train, leaving the cars with the emigrants imprisoned between the avalanches, in a dark stormy night. Probably the storms are now well over for the season. A severe hail and snow storm in Colusa county April 17, no doubt seems strange to the inhabitants. But this has been a Winter and Spring of strange surprises in California.
Later, up to the 21st, the rain has still come in torrents, and news has just arrived of the most destructive tornado in southern Missouri that this country has ever known. Full particulars not yet received.
