Trembling women wni-o run nitiK hither and thither, nil aenrehinfr fur a Jilttto of Bufety, no one knowing whoro to go to got awny from tho ittvaa titwiroycr. A iiow-hdo bud deaeended on tho camp, and though the hulk ol tho nvnlnnehe had rented t tho tmper part of tho town, in their wild flight tho unhappy donir.ens of tho plueo hull' expected that at tho next moment they would bo buried and crimhed in a bank of trench onion anow Alter tho flint ahock was over, the frightened peoplo, partially rotorei to useful activity, willioncohiect in viow. mnlicd np the sliwttotho elevated bench on tho north sido of Alta, aomo carrying lanterns, others shovels, and others with stnyes, poles, or anything that could he used in diin'inc thmmrli the snow. About fillcen rods from tho business ccntru of the town a wild scene presented itself. Tho snow was piled up to tho depth of thirty feet, and nro. jeeung irom mo patKoii snrlueo were largo oowiuers, Heavy mining timbers, and hero and there a portion of what nau once uecn a iramo dwolniig housa. They realized that from tho location of tho slido some ol their acquaintances tueir menus, ana perunps relatives wore beneath the mighty mass of snow and debris, and scores of hardy minors went to work digging away tho snow irom where bad stood houses oeoupicd by human boings. While thus engaged a faint cr of "Help" camo through the snow ; again it was heard, and again, but growing moro faint and weaker ot each successive cry. It did not tako long to ascertain the direc tion from which tho voice proceeded. and when once the men on the surface had found the location there w.u lively suoveiing 01 mo snow lor a lew min utes, bhort as those minutes were, eacn must liuvo uecn an ago to hun who was underneath; but the quiek strokes of tho shovels grew moro dis tinct to.the cars of the almost doomed man, and finally ho w as lilted from bis snowy bed and tho light of a dozen or more lanterns shone lull In Ins face. Tho fortunntc-uiiforttinnto man was (icorgo 'J'omliim, an old gentleman who nan innuo Alia his home lor several years. liy his sido, in tho bed on wbich hoiind boen lyuiir. was tho body of Michael KeUcv '-Old ilickcv" who was known to every resident of Aitaanu vieinny. i ho snow had done its" work for "Old Mickey." 11a and Tomlins had retired curly, but wore not asleep when tho avalitnoho came, lleliire they knew what was tho mat ter the building was crushed and the two men buried under at least nix feet of snow. "Mickoy'i" back was broken. and it is thought ho died instantly, but Tomlins was more fortunate. True to his former self, alter being resurrected, tho old man called for a "whisky straight,"and in quick ucvMwion poured down several "drinks" of his luvorito beverage, llo had been "very dry" during tho duy, and as the whisky ran freely, long before tho excitement had censed the old man was on a "jolly spree." n Lnlo Jomlins and his mate wore boin uncovered, there was a busy scene at another plaeo. Tho residence of Mr. James farcy was in tho course of tho slide. Above tho sito of the lo cation tho men commenced working with thoir shovels, and soon stiocoeded in finding what had been tho interior of tho framo bouse, though the build ing was broken to pieces and some ol it carried away. A little more shovel, ing discovered a heart-rending sight, which caused many of the stern, hardy miners to shed leant. .Sealed In an asy-chair, and closniiinT to her breast nor imam nano, sal Jlrs. Carey moth- orand child both dead. Near them were the lifeless remains of tho husband and futhor, and in another part of tho room was tbo corpse of an adopted daughter, a bright little girl altout six years old, named Laura Wilson. None of the bodies exhibited bruises of any kind; they had all suffocated. Tho expression in the mother's countenance was one of mingled anxiety and despair, as if she bad hoped that her dear ones might yet bo saved, (nt ,ad finally diod, realising that all must perish. The snow amend the husliand's body showed that he hat) straggled hard to extricato himself. In another place the dead body of an old miner named Vandrrloen was Ibtind. Up to last eveninir no other victims bad been discovered, thouirh a number of men are niiaeting, and II is believed they are undor the snow. It is impossible to tell how many were killed or what ia the damage to prop erty j and it will probably be late next spring, when tho snow mclla, before all the fact are known. There wore apparently two slides, each of immense proportions, which started about tho same timo ; and though they beaded at different points and did not travel the same route, they united immedi ately altove Alta, tho wholo force and mass entering and crushing through the town. One of the avalanche started from near the Maekay Mine, above and west ol tho Emma, and on Its course of destruction swept away the oxten stve trestle-work and the larfre ore- nnnso at mo tatier mine, i lis other CLEARFIELD, started from the Stoker Mine, near the top of tho ritlgo betwoen the two t'ot- tniiwoods, and pnssed down a giilrn cast of tho track of the firxMho Innciion of tho two being nt tho foot of tho mountains, on tho elevated plateau north of Alta. It is titiusul for snow slides to occur in that vicinity, and those of Tuesday are tho largost ever known there, ltnin had been falling yen' fnst all tho nUenioon, nnd the snow bad become thoroughly saturated and soggy with water, and tho weight ueiug ttitia iiicrcuBt'ti cnuneu Hie Bliue. Tbo poople of Alta, thouuh not ex pecting one of the catastrophes, were fearfufthat nno would occur. Nearly all night on Tuesday the most terrible fears rested on tho more timitl of tho town. The ladies thcro could not lie induced to sleep anywhere in the vicinity of the slide, and were furnished hods in tho lower nnd bettor protected pari ol tno ourg. , , Yesterday morning there was con siderablo of an exodus from Alta. six teen men Irom that plueo comnung to this city, nnd wo nnderRtund betwoen twenty nnd thirty others will leave there to-dny. (ino mora avalanche would havo tho effect of almost depop ttlating the town. Tbo snow was full tug very tnt yostcrnnv. and snow slides were expected nt any time. At half-past twelve o'clock bust night Mr. Sol. Kimball, tho Big Cottonwood mail-carrier, reuched thin city, bring ing tho sad intelligence that six men were killed in a snow-slidoin the above canon yesterday afternoon. Tho slide occurred between one nnd two o'clock and was one of the heaviest that has come down this winter. It started from near the ton of the mountain abovo tho liichmond Mine, and, de scending Willi Irresistible lury, crossed tho gulch, carried off tho the Welling ton Company's blacksmith simp, the two men who were in it nurrowly es caping with their lives. About one Hundred yurds holow tho Itichmond tho elitlo overtook eight "snukcrs" men who were engaged in drawing tho ore Irom tho Kithmoiid down the mountain on raw hides. All of tho un fortunate party, with their horses. sev en in number, wore buried iu the aval anche. Tho miners from the neiirh- ooring mines turned out and worked bravely to extricato their fellows, but only succeeded in saving tho lives of iwo, nnu ono oi tnoso was so badly in- iircu lum a is icareu uo cannot re cover, the mimes or tho two thut were rescued are (Icorgo McC'orlin and Thomas Wbito. Tho former, who is in a critical condition, was entombed in tho snow thrco hours. White was relieved irom his perilous situation af ter ueiug unuer mo snow tinny min utes. The remaining six of the party are buriod in thirty feet of snow. Their names aro Thomas II. Brodorick, William Itittor, ('harks DubhlcJoseph Rreozo, Henry Atkins, and Jiouhcn Moore. When Mr. Kimball startod lo como to the city, at soveu o'clock lust night, there were between fifty and sixty men at work shoveling show in search of tho bodies. Tho intention was to con tin no tho digging all night, and until tho bodies were found. Tho slide Is said to bnvo run three-fourths of a mile, and was two hundred yards wide.

B LIC AN, NEW THE ADVANTAGES OF SMALL ; FA RMS. A corresiHindunt write to the Dot partment ol Agriculture from Van nuren, lowa, tnnt he I running a small larm ot torly acres, with twenty under cultivation in fruit, vegetables, and small grain. "My income varies from $1,600 to $2,000 a year," he ap pear proud to acknowledge. The more industry and intellect ono puts into on aero of soil, tho more money bo is likelv to tnlco nut of it. Ilia judgment should tell him what crop will pay best in the markets within Ins reach, with a small farm close in hand, small taxes, and small outgo for labor, feed, and working stock. Thore is both art and good sense in keekping down expense on tbo farm, and in ot her brunches of business. Success in tillngo and husbandry de. Cenrls on tho capacity of the liuuuia rain, ralher than on.lho size of one s plantation. Ono family, by skill, in dustry and economy, become rich by cultivating twenty acres only, while another liimily grow poor by the bud miinngcinent ol z.uoo under tbo plow. It is not the piirmiit, but tho man. that is a failure. Tho lartner often grasps more acres than he can handle to the best advantage, and all are more or less slighted at certain times mid sea sons to tho injur)- of his cash income. Labor Is misdirected, or neglected till out of season, when vitality in seeds and cultivated plants does no good. J ii n small farm every blow may be struck nt the proper moment. Every person has but a limited quan tity of Ibrre, physical and mental ; and it is tbo most common of til mistakes to dilute and spread this torco over too large a surface. It is not tho dil f'usion of tnusular strength, but its con centration that bores artesian wells, mid draws a fountain of living water from the strata of rocks hundred of feot in thickness to the surface for tho uso of uneducated man. Diffused labor on a large farm is like the scattered rays of light in tho interstellar spucos beforo the Iclcneopo collects them to gether, nnd thereby extends human vision and knowledge to millions of suns and worlds before unknown. Tho cultivator of the earth needs timo and opportunity for profitable study. How shall he commund such nn advantage;?

Every, thin around wn wrapped iu dnrkiics and bushed in silence. In-nkm. nnlv lt what seemed at that hour an unearth ly clank and rush of the train. It wu a mild, soreiio midsummer's night; the sky wa without a cloud, tho winds woro whist. The moon, then in the lost auaiinr. bad luat star shouo with a spectral lustre but nine aiiccica by nor presence ; Jupiter, two hours high was the herald of the day ; the I'loiude. just abovo tha hori zon, shed tbeir sweet Influence in the oast i Lyra sparkled near tbo zenith; Andromeda veiled her newly discover ed glories from the naked eye in the south; tbo steady Pointers, far beneath the polo, looked meekly up from the del lent lis ol too north to their sovereign. Such was tho glorious spectacle a I entered tho train. As wo proceeded, tho timid approach of twilight became more perceptible; tho intense blue of the sky began to soften, the smaller tlaiis, iiko little children, went first to rest; the sister bcami of the Pleiades soon melted together; but tho bright constolhitionsof tho west and tbo north remained unchanged. Steadily tbo wondrous transfiguration went on. Hands of angels hidden from mortal eye shifted tho cenery of tho heavens; the glories of night dissolved into the glories ol tho dawn. The blue sky now tu rued more softly gray ; the groat watch-stars shut up their holy eyes; tho cast begun to kindle. Faint streak of purple soon blushed along the sky. me wnoio celestial concave wa mica with tho in-flowing tidos of the morn ing light, which came down from abovo in one great ocean of radiance; till at length, as we reached tho Blue Hills, a flush of purple fire blazed ont from abovo the horizon, and turned thedowy teardrop of flower and leaf into ru hie and diamonds. In a flw seconds the everlasting gates of tho morning were thrown open, nnd the lord of day, arrayed in glories too severe for tho gazo of man, began his course.

Lake Erio is only sixty or seventy feet deep ; but Lake Ontario, which is 692 feet deep, 230 feet below the tido level of the ooean, or a low a most parts of tho Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bottoms of Lnko Huron, Michigan and Superior, although the turfacc ut much higher, are all from thoir vast depth on a Icvol with tho bottom of Ontario. Now, as tho discharge through tha Pctroit river, after allowing tor the probable portion carried "btt by evap oration, does not appcarlby any mean equal to tho quantity of water which tbo thrco upper hike" receive It has I been conjectured that a subterranean river may run irom Lake Superior, by tho Huron, to Lako Ontario. This conjecture is not improbable and ac counts for tho singular fact that sal mon and herring are caught in all tho lakes communicating with tho St. Law rence, but no other. A the Falls of Niagra must havo always existed, it would pnzzhi tho naturalist totay how tho fish got into tho upper hikes with out some subterranean river; more over, any periodical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of tbo mystorions flux and re flux of the lake.
