FIRE MARsHAL.-The subieo

INN 1AC Vi dp-
pointing a Fire Marshal came before the Hastings
Court, yesterday, fifteen Justices being present
and was ably presented by Lawyer Claiborne, who
expounded the law and argued to show the i'm
portauce to the city of such an officer. The law
requires the Marshal to attend every fire. and gives
him q Coroners power to summon jury of in
quest to compel the attendance of witnesses, and
preserve the public peace. 1t also gives him the
pay of a Coroner, and no more. As expounded
the Marshal is not authorised to call juryuniess
he has good aud sufficient reasons to believe the
fire the work of incendiary and these reasons are
not to be imaginary or founded on mere suspicion,
but must have a substantial basis. If house has
been accidentally fired, he is to hold no inquest,
and Of course gets no pay for his attendance
If jury is properly called and a verdict rem
dered, the Marshal then presents his bill to the
court, by whom it is passed rejected Acting
under the same law with the Coroner, the fee for
attending fire and holding an inquest is to be
made out of the owner of the burnt building; bnt
if he is not able TO pay it, then it comes out of the
city treasury. With this Interpretation of the
law, we presume that there are very few gentle.
men who would like to undertake the Duties un.
less they were able to the city without remu
neration, for man might be required to attend to
one hundred fires in the course of year, at the
risk of his health and life, and yet find none of
them of such character as to call for an inquest.
The Court, after due deliberatiOn, decided
against making an appointment, aud the ques-
tion is therefore at rest until April next as the
law only authOrises the appointment to be made
at the April term in each year.

to the river side, unoosed her fathers skiff rowed
across with all possible haste, and ran along the
track i'll direction OF the approaching train, waving
red handkerchief and succeeded in attracting the
attention of the engineer, in the very nick of time.
The brakes were applied, the train stopped, and
the danger pointed out. 1t was the opinion of the
officers aboard that nothing but tue timely warn
ing giving by Miss Drave, saved the lives of all on
board the The curve in the road WAS so
sharp that a collision would have thrown the cars
off the track down the embankment into the river
