FIRE.-About noon, on Sunday last,
fire broke out in the French Bakery.
on Main street, destroying the bakery,
with its contents, and small building
adjoining. Three or four other build
ings were torn down to stay the progress
of the flames, which happily had the de-
sired effect. Our gallant Hook & Lad
der Company were promptly on the
spot, and it is to be attributed to their
efficiency and the exertions of some of
our citizens, that destructive confa-
grafton was so promptly arrested.
The fire was occasioned by storing hay
on top Of the oven! What magnificent
carelessness
Had high wind been blowing at the
time, the progress Of the flames would
not have been SO easily stayed, but
would, in all probability, have swept
down Main street, crossing at the Liv-
cry Stable, to the opposite side, and from
thence to the wooden buildings between
Main street and Broadway to Washing
ton street, again laying our town in ash
es. 1t is true we have many large fire.
proof buildings in various parts of the
town, but they are not SO situated or so
numerous as to stay confagration, in
such case. It is also true that we
have Hook & Ladder Company, as
we'll managed and Of as good material
as is to be found in any city Of our Union;
but should fire occur in or near any
ofthe large wooden blocks, in a thickly
inhabited part of the town, high wind
blowing, the hooks would be of very
little service, as was but too apparent in
the conAagration Of July. 1t is only in
an instance, similar to that of Sunday
last, that our gallant fircmen could prove
their present apparatus to be of materi-
al advantage.
We understand that the New England
Water Company will commence laying
their pipes, through our streets, in the
spring, and these, with sufficient
head, supplied with hydrants and hose,
in proper places, will go far to prevent
destructive fire. But would not good
fire engine, manned by our 6remen, be
an important auxilery in such socrching
-times' We have no.doubt good en-
CINE could be obtained at San Francis
co, (if spoken for in time,) as many of
the companies there are ambitions of
procuring fine tub " from the States.
We throw out these suggestions for the
action Of our citizens or city fathers, if
they deem the subject of sufficient i'm
portance.

Of completion.
New York has elected Clark, Wing,

In the assembly there are 80 Maine
Law members, % anti Maine Law, and
% doubtful.
The Know Nothing vote for Governor,

In Illinois, Allen. Nebraska, has been

by about 1000 majority.
In Arkansas, johnson, DEM, has

David l.. Reed is the newly elected
Senator from North Carolina.

The news from the seat of war is
most discouraging for the Allies, though
they have successfully repulsed several
attacks on their positions, with immense
slaughter on both sides. The battle on
the Doth Oct. was almost defeat, and
one or tow fine regiments of the British
were entirely cut to pieces. The Turks
are branded with cowardice. Both ar
mics fought with terrible desperation
1t is said the English have only about
10000 available men On the Grim ca
one half the number with which
they entered
On the 9Th Of November another com
bined attack was made by the Russians
The French account state that the en-
envy was repulsed with loss of from
5000 to $500 men. whilst despatch
from Prince Menschikoff asserts that
the right flank of the English was at
tackled with success and a battery ia
ken. No official statement is made Of
the loss of the Allies, but it is estimated
at 5000 men. Five English Generals
had been wounded.
The greatest exertions are being
made in England to send out more troops
Menschikoff is shown to have $4,000
men and 1854 field pieces behind the
walls of Sebastopol, md large rein
forcement under Grand Dukes Michael
and Nicholas close at hand.

NEW WATER COMPANY.

We would call the attention Of our
readers to an election of Officers by the
Stockholders of the Columbia & Stan
islaus River Water Company for the en-
suing year, to be held in Columbia on
Saturday the 3Oth instant. All there
fore who have not yet subscribed for
stock, can avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity before the election, in order that
they may have voice in electing suita-
bic men, to eli the various Offices.
Since the first placer diggings were
discovered in Tuolumne County, no
project of more vital Importance, has
ever been presented to the miner and
business man, and if they will only take
the trouble to examine and investigate
the prospects ofthe new Company, We
think they cannot fail of being convinc-
ed Of the great benefits that must fol-
low from an early completion of their
works. In all probability, we will have
but little rain this winter, and conse-
quently an early dry season, with all
the attending evils, that want Of wa
will produce next summer. And in no
other way can we expect relief, but in
a speedy beginning and vigorous..prose.
cution Of the works.
By electing the right kind of men to
take the enterprise in hand, and by pru-
dent management, on the part of the
officers, there cannot be doubt Of its
success, and of abundant returns to all
who may interest themselves. We
sincerely hope, that our citizens gener-
ally who have the prosperity of our
town, and county at heart, will give this
enterprise, the support it deserves.

STABBED BY A WOMAN We learn
the following, from the San Francisco
papers of Tuesday last Henry Ker-
rison, policeman, was stabbed through
the left breast, by woman named How
ard, formerly an actress at the Peoples
Theatre. 1t appears that K. had some
connection with the woman, and had en-
deavored for some time, TO get away from
her; she, on discovering his intentions,
became almost frantic, and had endeav-
cured to carry out her purpose. On
Monday evening, she met him in the
street, and inflicted CHASTITY wound up
on him; as soon as he was stabbed, he
ran to the Marshal's Office; on entering
the hall, she tried to stab him again
BY dint of force, officer North succeeded
in getting the knife away from her, but
not without cutting himself severely
She was taken into the cells to await the
result, regretting she had not killed K.
outright. The latter is now lying in the
room of the Captain OF Police, without
the slightest hope of recovery. Mrs.
Howard was formerly Mrs. Sullivan, and
had lately been keeping cigar store, on
Clay street, opposite the Portsmouth
house.
o. Another stabbing ARRAY, took
place the next day, at the What Cheer
House, between man named Ackley,
and another known as Judge McCabe,
of Oregon; the latter received from the
hands of the former, two wounds, one in
the back, and one on the wrist. The
cause was, improper liberties with the
wife Of Ackley. McCabe is severely,
but not MORALLY wounded. Immediate
ly after the ARRAY, Ackley gave himself
up into the hands Of the authorities.

FUsILIERs BALL.-We learn that a
grand Military Ball will be given by
the Columbia Fusiliers, on the evening
of the 9Th of January; [being the An
niversary Of the Battle of New Orleans, I
at Armory Hall. In the course of
the evening, grand exhibition drill
will be performed at the tap of the drum,
similar to that of the San Francisco
Blues, on the occasion of their recent
ball, at San Francisco. From what we
have witnessed of the maneuvring of
the Fusiliers, we would advise the Blues
to look well to their laurels, as, not
outstanding the laudation of the S. F.
press, We believe our mountain boys can
equal if not surpass them in the drill by
the drum.

EXTRA PAY FOR THE VOLUNTEERS
For the information of the volunteers
who served in Col. Stevenson regi-
ment, many of whom are still in Calitor-
MIA, we would state that there is pros
pecs of the passage of a bill during the
present session of Congress, gran ing to
them the double pay to which they are
entitled, not only as matter of justice,
but one of precedent 1t will be recol-
lected that a similar bill for the benefit
Of the seamen and marines who served
on the coast of California during the war
with Mexico, was passed at the session
of 1852, granting them double pay from
the time they passed Cape Horn till the
close Of the war. 1t was supposed at
that time that the same relief had been
furnished the army, and upon the
strength of this supposition, the bill was
passed and became law, when it was
acertained that the army bill only pro-
vided for double pay from the 2sth of
September, 1880, and did not date back.
as was supposed. All the arguments
that could be used for the navy relic f
can be applied with much greater force
to the army. There are now in this
State some FIVE Or six hundred men who
would receive the benefit of this bill,
and We understand that our senators and
representatives have promised to do
their utmost to secure its passage. The
extra pay to which the privates of Col
Stevenson's regiment will be entitled, in
case the bill passes, will be something
over two hundred dollars Alta.
