ATTENTION BurrKs. members Of the
Butte Engine Company are expected to meet
to night at the Office of the County Recorder
In the Court House. The object of this meet
ing, is, II we are not mistaken, to make ar
rangements for n ball to be held in the course
Of week or two, theprofts arising from
which will be used in the purchase OF a FIRE
engine aud other apparatus. This bali idea
is good one. The firemen have been dan.
cling attendance on the citizens long enough
and it is high time the citizens we're dancing
for the benefit Of the fremen. 1t really
seems like tempting Providence" longer to
delay furnishing our town with proper and
efficient FIRE apparatus and il the necessary
funds cannot be raised in any other way,
let them be danced up. We ought to have
firemen's balls every week, II by such means
We can raise money enough to provide our
selves with the implements Of protection

On account Of the rush, the men were unable TO
launch but one plank, which greatly added 10 the
confusion.
The fire originating forward her wheel houss, and
the wind blowing quite fresh down sire sm, in few
moments the entire boat was one living hsme.
The loss Of the steamer is complete insurance.
