ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

Of Virginia chaps hired n buggy yes
terday and took a ride down the can
Won in the direction Of Dayton. About
10 o'clock in the evening, OH their re-
turn, they stopped at the Carson
Brewery saloon, Gold Hill, for another
drink. having evidently stopped at all
eligible points along the route for that
purpose. When they stopped at the
brewery n tall, gaunt old man, with
long, flowing gray hair and beard,
mounted OH an ancient white horse,
rode solemnly up, and stopped also,
sitting stiff and straight as n poker in
his saddle till they came out, and not
speaking a word or apparently no
ticlng any one. "Look there, Jim,"
a Y II OF them; "I'm blowed eff
there isn't that same old cuss on the
white horse again. Now, old man,
I'm Jest ID ef this thing isn't played
clean out. You've follered us all the
way up from Silver City, and stopped
every time We did, roasted on yer OLD
white boss. Who the devil are We,
anyhow! and what do yer want? We
don't know you, and amt goin' to
stand this thing no longer; so you jest
foller us any further and We'll blow
the top of yer dam old head off. DO
yer mind that now :" Both went on
loudly berating and abusing the old
fellow like q piekpocket, until 4 crowd
of two or three hundred spectators
gathered around. There he sat, bolt
upright, on his pale horse. looking a;
serene and digniied as the ghost in
Hamlit, and never speaking a single
word. About the time they got nearly
through talking ut him, however, he
suddenly took n notion to ride slowly
of up the road, his tall, spectre-like
form and gbostly old horse quietly dis.
appearing away up the road, and
around the bend, in the pale, still
moonlight, like the passing shadow in
some graveyard dream.
A MURDERER AT LARGE.-The in
cendiary who kindled the fire Of Tues,
day night, on the Divide, was also a
murderer, for the drowning Of Martin
Panian in that cistern was directly
the result of his internal work. This
Is the second instance Of death "a the
result Of incendiarism occurring ut
Virginia. IL will be recollected that 4
man was burned to death by the fire at
the corner of G and Mill streets, about
a year ago-a fire well known to have
been the work Of an incendiary. The
suspicious Of the police were aroused.
but they were not able to obtain suf-
fcient clue to the perpetrator. The
motive they suspected ut that time
may have melted the present villain to
his wicked crime. and 1t is to be hoped
some true detective may be able to
discover this double criminal. and
bring him to merited justice. We are
informed that when this fire was first
discovered burning, a man started from
n house near by, with a bucket OF
water, which would easily have extin-
puished the kindling flames, but rs he
was running across the yard some UNI
seen person threw n stone, Knocking
him down, water and all, not only
hurting him severely but preventing
his putting out the fire. Scarcely any
punishment Is too severe for an incen-
diary, and il one can be caught and
convicted he should be treated to at
least twenty years in the State Prison,
by way Of example.
