hours after leaving San Francisco, a distance Of
fifty miles. The iormer place, with its aspiring
but most awkward name, il located ON level plain,
on the southern shore of Suisun Bay, backed by

south after the arithmetic. The present limits Of
the town extend to nearly square mile, and the
number of inhabitants, in tents and houses will fall
