A Ride.

Currys toll-road, and before we knew it
stopped at the Warm Springs Hotel,
where our old friend Gardner and his
affable partner, Klasing, hold forth and do
the honors. Of course We stopped-we
were hungry and thirsty, and needed re.
pose. In seventeen minutes and eight
seconds from the time Of our arrival,
Uncle Gardner informed US lunch was
ready, and on a tender chicken, rich but
ter and things, such as g. S X. always
keep, We lunched. Oh. We Cosmopolitan
heroes, what treat none of your French
hash or Dutch deadeners, but genuine
old ranch breakfast of the very best kind.
We shed tears at parting, but our limited
capacity couldn't stand everything. The
famous Warm Springs are the attraction
here, and after good breakfast and meer-
schaum, dive and swim in the limpid
waters of the bath is the most refreshing
thing imaginable, TO say nothing Of the
sanitary effects Of cleanliness experienced.
We endorse the institution.

The general health of the prisoners is
very good, and they are dressed cleanly
and appear as happy as it would be pos
sible for men to be in such place. In
view of the coming invoice from Storey
county, the new upper sett Of cells will at
once be built, the rock being already
quarried for the purpose. Passing to the
rear of the prison, we found the quarry
being worked in excellent order, and
large amount of stone unfinished and fin
ished lying around. In the farther por-
ton of the yard well has been sunk in
the rock at the depth of four feet, striking
q fine stream of hot water, which will be
raised by a windmill into a reservoir,
whence it will supply the whole establish
ment with excellent water. A substan-
tial fence twelve feet high with smooth
face, is being erected around the grounds.
After carefully examining the whole insti-
tuition. we feel at liberty to recommend it
as cleanly, well kept, quiet retreat for
those who require q wholesome discipline.
Our ride to Virginia was extremely dusty
until we reached the American Flat Toll
Road. which was almost free from dust
and in excellent condition, we endorse it
to parties who don't wish to be smothered
by clouds of alkalied sand.
FIRE.-Last evening about 6 o'clock, a
dwelling house owned by Mr.. Chaquette,
situated on Main street, in the lower part Of
town, nearly opposite the Petaluma Mil, was
discovered to be on FIRE. An alarm was
given, and assistance was rendered by per.
sons in the vicinity before much damage was
done. The rire was first discovered under the
floor Of the house, and il supposed to have
originated either from fire knocked from
pipe BY some person passing BY, or from
matches in the hands Of children who had
been playing around there few minutes be-
fore il broke out. No part Of the house ex-
cept the floor was much burned.
