A Hard Storm.

By Editor

THE night of Nov. 8, and all day the 9th, there was a heavy storm on the Pacific Coast. It caused a lively time in San Francisco Bay. Much of the shipping was moved, and many vessels damaged. The new telegraph cable was dragged away by the dragging of anchors. News has not yet been received from much of the coast, but as far as heard from some disasters are reported.

A Smoke Consumer.

THE world of science is discussing the subject of "a smoke consumer" for the benefit of manufacturing cities which are troubled with an excess of smoke from the chimneys. We hope American genius may succeed in perfecting such an instrument. And if it can be made to consume tobacco smoke, so as to relieve us of this pest in public places, we shall vote the inventor a perpetual "royalty." We would be glad to see one put up at the corral on the Oakland wharf.
