The Fire %Hi,a.sH.,.


W. arc glad to see that some are WA
king up, at last, to the necessity Of
some such move. We have warned
our readers time and again that some.
thing mus be done ~ way Of pre-
paration against the dire and terrible
ravaycs Of fire: and We feel that we are
more than ordinarily exposed to the
ravages Of this clement &!mo; 81 all
of OUT houses arc built Of wood and in
close proximity to each other and
once fairly on are our whole village
would liAely he one vast heap OF
ashes. We say then that We are ;nx
ious that something should be done
and we are willing to do oar part, but
VIC are not altogether satisfied with
the method employed to accomplish
what all ought to admit to be 81 good
intchiion. We are not satisfied with
the method usr,l aud we have heard
several others say the same thing, be.
cause it is not .jnI @nd rlht that the
poor, and honest and hard. working
mechanic, who has noMiag or very
little ut Stat;c, should be called upon
as a mere generosity to make up the
sum necessary TO secure this protcc
ton to the houses and homes Of
the rich and opulrn'. 1t is these
men who are going to give the sweat
OF their brows and the strength Of
their strong mInsy Whenever these
emergencies aiser and they ought
not to be expected to r;yi>c the
money to boot. Let the rich and tic
wealthy raise most Of the money re.
Inircd and ,aisc it IN propost;on to tho
benefit expected and the amount Of
real estate ut stake. Oar proposition
then is to let one half OF the muacy
required be raised by q torn h.r levied
upon the real estate within the incor.
poratcl limits, ana the 0. her half hy
voluntary subscription. We ;2c by The
subscription list that . number Of the
mechanics have subscribed freely and
literally and number of our lner.
chants aud other men OF means have
done equally we'll. They have sub
scrlhed i'll proportion to their means;
but there arc other men ofmcans, who
have agreat deal vt stake, and who arc
abe and ought to subscribe largely,
but who have givm but little, while
some have declined to give anything.
This we say is not right or fair, and
We therefore propose Il plan by vii cli

RECIPROCITY TREATY.

A correspondent asked us lately whether the
reciprocity Treaty had yet gone into operation.
Not yet. The requisite legislation has taken
place in the United States and in the Colonies,
but there remained to be repealed an old act
of Great Britain in relation to the Fisheries.
Parliament, it is understood, has repealed this
