The fire at Virginia City has given rise to a controversy. among clergymen, as fo whether it was a visitatation from Providence or not.

The acceptance of the belief of either of these divines, itseems to us, must be to establish a belief or disbelief in bible history. The old testament is filled with predictions, and the fulfillment of predictions of destruction -to cities and peoples by the hand of the Lord. Sodom had its Lot sitting at the gate ‘to whom two angels came, and into whose house the angels went and washed their feet and partook of his feast of unleavened bread, After smiting wiih blindness all those who came to know and to take them out of the house, they made Lot travel, with his wife ‘and bis sons, his daughters, and his sens-in-law, out of the city. As soon as the family had got safely. out, the ‘Lord rained fire and brimstone from out of the heavens, and overthrew. the city and all the pluin,;-and all the inhabitants of the city, and that which grew upon thé ground.’”” And because Lot’s wife tured back she was turned into a pillar of salt. That'was certainly a ealamity‘as fearful as that ‘which lately befell our neighboring city. The city of Sodom was consumed because of its iniquity. The book of Isiah is nearly made up of prophesies 6f. destruction to wicked citiés. All the calamities in aneient times were foretold, and the ‘coming to pass of those prophesies is what makes good christians velieve in the bible.

About halfpast 6 o’clock yestetday morning, says the Record-Union of the 9th, parties on the river front discovered an unusual occupant of the Sacramento—a large animal or fish— swimming up stream, On close observation it proved to bea sea lion of mammoth proportions, variously estimated at from’ six to twelve feet; in length. It» swam above the bridge nearly grounded upon a sand-, bar, creating a heavy swellin ite efforts to get into deep water, then turned about and proceeded a short distance down stream, but, being shot at, again turned and went up the river. It would swim several: hundred feet beneath the surface, then appear above water with @snort, get a supply of'air and disappear. Several men started in pursuit of it in boats, but its progress was too rapid for them, and they had to give up the chase after proceeding about a mile. The steamer Dover, which came down stream sometime afterwards, reported having seen the . stranger about a mile and a half above the city. “It was later in the day seen in an-eddy opposite Mike Bryte’s ranch, apparently engaged in catching fish,. subsequently it proceedédfurther® up™ stream.

A day or two ago’ it was desired to bring the latter in out of the rain, he having been rapning nt large im the field, and his owner ‘cast about the premises for a halter, but the only thing he could find that appeared to ted rope. The colt being gentle and easy to catch, the rope was placed about-his neck, and his owner started forthe stable. On his ‘way, he knocked the ashes from the end of his cigar with the zope, bat to his. intense astonishment the rope commenced to burn, fiazing and snapping. vieiously—in fact, his ‘painted rope’’ Was a piece of fase. If the man was astonished the colt was doubly so. He snorted, broke away from his master, tried to run from the sputtering fiend, then to jump over it, then to get under it, made gn effort to outrun it, and, at last, finding’all his efforts futile, stood still and shivered with fear.

Dipn'r Sune TO Lrxie IT.—A resident-of.this vicinity is the possessor of several horses, including one which may yet be classed as a colt. A day or two ago’ it was desired to bring the latter in out of the rain, he having been rapning nt large im the field, and his owner ‘cast about the premises for a halter, but the only thing he could find that appeared to ted rope. The colt being gentle and easy to catch, the rope was placed about-his neck, and his owner started forthe stable. On his ‘way, he knocked the ashes from the end of his cigar with the zope, bat to his. intense astonishment the rope commenced to burn, fiazing and snapping. vieiously—in fact, his ‘painted rope’’ Was a piece of fase. If the man was astonished the colt was doubly so. He snorted, broke away from his master, tried to run from the sputtering fiend, then to jump over it, then to get under it, made gn effort to outrun it, and, at last, finding’all his efforts futile, stood still and shivered with fear. Wheu. the . : fuse burned to the knot it fell frem be animal’s neck without having done ‘much injury, but it will be some time before he takes kindly to rope halters.—Sacramento Record Union. se Pounuwmmens a Seuoon.:.-The principal of the public school at San . » Héahdro has inyented a new punichment for erring urchins, and an investigation and # newspaper controversy is the eonsequenee.
