FIRE.-At about noon, last Sunday, fire
broke out in house occupied by a Mexican,
on Lafayette Avenue, (the alley west of the
Louisiana Hotel,) but fortunately was dis
covered in time to be speedily cxtinguished.
The fremen were promptly on hand, and the
Boynton Boys" managed their machine ad
nirably. The fire was the result of extreme
carelessness in the manner of putting up the
stov-ppe in the kitchen. 1t is to be hoped
that this will be sufficient to induce our citl.

to examine the condition of stoye-pipes in all

A MODEL EsTABILsHMENT-Upon recent trip
to Volcano. we took occasion to pay visit to the
manufacturing jewelry establishment of FRANCIS
REIcHLING, and with the utmost confidence we can
pronounce it entirely ahead of any concern of the
kind in the mountains of California both to the
extent of its operations and the superiority of the
workmanship displayed. Everything pertaining to
the business, including the finest articles manuiac-
tured from gold, silver, collaborating quartz, &c,
will be found at Reichlngs, and everything is pro-
duced in style of beauty and finish that cannot be
surpassed either in California or elsewhere. 1t is
worth visit to Volcano to examine his stock and
specimens, especially if you require anything in
his line.
Among other things, Mr.. r. manufactures man
zanita walking stcks-with gold, silver, ivory, or
gold-bearing quartz heads, with steel rods thro'
them to mpart strength (which we unhestating-
y pronounce the best that can be found at any es-
tablishment in the State. To see a specimen our
friends are invited to call and examine one pre-
sented by Mr.. Reichling to ourself

QuAcK DocroRs AND DRUeeIsrs.- The Legis-
ature refused to pass the bill to provide for
regulating the sale Of drugs. Probably it
was right that the particular bill in question
did not become law, 1--WE did not see it, as
it was aledged that it did not really meet
the existing evils, but was only designed to
create a monopoly of the drug business in
San Francisco, and enable the merchants of
that city, at the same time, to palm of i'm
pure drugs upon the public. That well di-
gested law should be passed, regulating the
sale of drugs, there is not doubt. Califor-
MIA is full of quack doctors and quack drug
gists-especially the latter-who have the
lives and health of the people, to a great ex-
tent, in their hands. No man should be al
lowed to sell drugs or put up prescriptions
who does not understand bis business thor
oughly and scientifically.

SHoorING.-On Thursday, an Austrian
named Giovanni Melevich, offered some dust
for sale at Menzel's store, in this place.
Mcneil put it in his dust pan to blow it, where
upon the Austrian violently objected and i'm
mediately drew and cooked his revolver
Menzel sprang out of the store, narrowly es-
Gaping with his life. Shriff Paugh happened
to be near by, and after seizng the pistol,
took hold of the Austrian and demanded
that he should give up the weapon He re-
fused and attempted to wrest it away from
the Sheriff Finding this out of the ques-
tion, he pulled the trigger The muzzle Of
the pistol was SO close to the Sherifs knee
that it destroyed the unmentionables of the
officer, by burning large-sized hole in them.
The ball went throug the Austrian's own foot
and into the floor. He probably expected
to hit the SheriH's leg-otherwise he would
not have fired The Austrian was conduct
ed to jail it is said that he has been insane
at times for two or three weeks.

State Central Committee.

There is 6 call for the Democratic State
Central Committe to meet on the 10th OF
NAV. This meeting will be one of much i'm
portance to the Democracy Of the State, and
we doubt not that wise councils will prevail
The organization of the party is for the time
being in the hands of the Committee, and it
is their duty to stand by the colors." 1t is
not their place to assume to dictate what is
Democracy, or to present ticket for the
Democracy to support. but it is their duty to
stand as sentinels, and guard against insidi-
Gus inroads upon party organization. One
of their chief duties is the calling of Demo
cratic Conventions, when the people are to be
called upon to vote for candidates. No Com
mittee should ever so far distrust the masses
of the party as to prevent them from meet
ing in Convention. The masses Of the Dem
ocracy are always to be trusted. They and
not Committee, have the right to determine
whether they will make certain issues or not.
