ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES.

The FIRE AT VIRGISIA.-We made
a short item yesterday announcing a
fire on d street, Virginia. 1t COM
menced in the second house north OF
Union street, which was totally de-
stroyed, and the building Immediately
adjoining it on the north was partially
destroyed. Had it not been for the
heavy rain falling at the time, the con-
flagration would probably have been
an extensive one, as 1t was In the latest
burnt district, just rebuilt. The furni-
ture was removed from most OF the
buildings near by, and considerably
damaged by the rain and process OF
removal. The origin Of he fire doe
not seem to be positively known, the
occupants being temporarily absent at
the time. Some are of the opinion
that II was caused by n stroke Of light
ming, but had that been the case there
would have been 4 louder and more
decided report of the matter. 1t was
most probably the result of careless
ness. The Enterprise gives the follow.
ing relative to losses, insurance, etc.
The building in which the fire broke
out was owned by Clementine Domin-
guez /; 1t cost $1,000. contained fnrni-
ture worth $500, and was insured for
$500. The furniture and all III the
building was destroyed, though after
the fire had been su6dued the shell OF
of the building remained standing
until it was pulled down by the hook
and ladder company. The house next
north of this n was owned by Man
uella Mesa, aud was Insured, but for
what amount we could not learn-it
cost 81, 200. This house was occupied
by Miss lnez, whose furniture was
saved, but In a damaged condition.
We were told that her furniture was
insured for g., 900. The roof and back
end of this building were consideraoly
burned, and the paper on the walls OF
the rooms completely drcnched ana
spoiled BY water.
The BALL.-Owing to the muddy
condition of the floor of Miners Union
Hall, occasioned by the flood OF yes
terday afternoon washing through the
building. the ball given by, the Goid
Hill Ladies' Benevolent order, IN anu
Of the sufferers by the late fire, haa 10
be transferred to the hall nc T
Homestead. This change was not
made known until q rather late hour,
therefore many, especially at Virgins,
tbought the ball would be necessarily
nostnoned to a more propitious occa-
lion. and consequently the attendance
MAS much lighter than 1t otherwise
would have been. As 1t was, however
n GOOD many were present, the music
excellent, and the party a very pleas
ant, social and agreeable ono. quite
n snug sum was realized toward the
worthy object for which the ball was
given, although the attendance Tic no
