PETALUMA, September 2d.-The
great fifty-mile ride came off to day on
Agricultural Park track, and w. v.
Smiths attempt to ride fifty miles in
two hours and twelve minutes was a
grand success, and drew a large
crowd. He made the time, and had
two minutes and ten seconds to spare.
He used ten horses, and changed
horses every mile. He had no trouble
with the horses, came through the
run well, and very little fatigued.

A QUAKER WoMAN's SERMoN.-"My
dear friends there are three things
which very much wonder at. The
first is, that children should be SO
foolish as to throw stones, clubs and
brickbats up into fruit trees to knock
down fruit; if they let it alone, it
would fall itself. The second is, that
men should be so foolish as to go to
war and kill each other; if let alone.
they would die themselves. And the
third and last thing that | wonder at
is, that young men should be 50 I'M
wise as to go after the young women;
if they would stay at home the young
women would go after them"

 The evening meetings of the Congrega- tional church have been gradually getting less frequent, till the'old customs of Sun day and Monday evening meetings have been resumed
 At the Episcopal church the closing week of Lent, or "Passion week." will be observed by services. Monday, Wedues- day and Saturday evenings, and morning services on Good Friday or "Fast Day." An annual Fast has been appointed by the Conn. governors, as far back as our ''oldest inhabitants can remember, and formerly it was strictly against the law to perform any manual labor, or indulge Tn any diversion on that day. A good old Gan, who died recently, used to tell his grand children of getting into trouble about eighty years ago, because he and some young friends went to Steep Rock and had game of cards, Fast Day. They were complained of to the Grand Juror, and severely reprimanded.
 As yesterday was Mir. Peck's day in Marketable. St. Johns church had lay- reading. Esq. Hollister was kind enough to read the sermon in the morning, much to the qualification of the audience. It was treat to hear an excellent sermon of Bishop Burgess we'll read, and as lone good turn deserves another," we hope Mir. H. will favor us as often as he can make it convenient.
