a WET RIDE-On Thursday Of last week,
says the Gait Gazette, James Ryan and Mrs.
Go. Putney, of Cosumnes, and Mics Adobe
Bel, Of Walsh's station, had q wet time of it
in getting to Elk Grove. On reaching Deer
creek they found the water pretty high, but
we're told that they could cross over the
bridge if this water was not over certain
stump en- the bank. They made the attempt
however, but had to swim the hurses abous q
hundred yards leaving bundles floating in
the stream. On landing at the new bridge
they found that the abutnents had washed
ont, End were compelled to tear up part Of
the bridge TO cross the wsshout. This was
also attended with some difficulty, as one of
the horses fell into deep hole, and required
the assistance OF its mate to extricate it. At
ter struggling for time in the water the
party landed safely on Shore decidedly wet,
and proceeded to their destination.

Olive Slayback and her little ward, Roy Tag
CART passed through the city last week, en-
route to Folsom from San Diego. where they
