ALMOST a FIRE.-On Saturday morning last,
at am early hour, while our vigilant town watch
man, Mr.. Wilcox, was going his accustomed
rounds, he discovered, in the rear of Knicker-
booker Saloon, in the old building formerly occu-
pied by Frank Clark as an Office, light, which,
on inspection, proved to come from box in
which stove was sitting, and which had by some
means caught fire from the stove. He extin-
guished the flames, which might, in a few mo-
ments longer, have wrapped thetown in des-
tructive confagratioh.

Snow ON THE SUMMIT.-Mr Thos. Freeman,
who was last week on visit over the Truckee
Turnpike to the Henness Pass Summit, informs
us that on Thursday snowlay on the ground there
to the depth of eighteen inches. After the mist
had cleared from the mountain tops Immediately
succeeding the recent rain, all the higher peaks
visible from this point were observed to be coy-
cred with a white mantle.

GwIN AND TILFoRD.-On Wednesday night
these gentlemen addressed an audience of
about three hundred people, in front of the
Union Hotel. Mr.. Gwin spoke first, taking
a glance at the history Of the Government
for the last sixty years, and ascribing to the
Democratic party the Honor of every good
measure which had been passed. Next, in
a very plausible manner, he defended him
self from the charges made against him by
his political opponents in relation to the
Daily Overland Mail, the Pacific Rail Road,
Lime Point affair, and other matters more
personal in their tenor and application.
1t is neither our inclination nor privilege,
under the strict line of neutrality which We
have marked out for our paper in this cam
paign, to go into any lengthy anaylsation,
praise or condemnation of political speeches.
That Office belongs to partisan sheets, and
makes them, when it is fully discharged,
particularly stupid and uninteresting. Suf-
flee it, in this connection to say, that had
we been one of Mr.. Gwin's warm political
admirers, we could not have wished him to
make different speech, for the effect desired
to be produced, nor one more appropriate to
all the circumstances surrounding his pres
ent position.
Mr.. Tllford succeeded. He is graceful
orator and polished gentleman. A portion
of his remarks was intended to prove that
Mr.. Douglas is not the regular nominee of
the Democratic party-being, in this respect,
the converse of an affirmative proposition
submitted and discussed by Mr.. Hammond.
lengthy nor as ingenius as that of the latter
gentleman. We leave it with those who
heard both, to determine which was the
more effective.
The remaining part of Mr.. Tilford's speech
was devoted to discussion Of Democratic
principles, which he did ably and eloquently.
WeStegret to say, that the thread of his dis
course was several times interrupted by the
clamors of one or two outside blackguards,
a couple of fights between a small bdrd of
intoxicated Irishmen, and the riding back
wards and forwards over the planks, through
the crowd, of some half-dozen hersemen.
The last named circumstance, let US hope,
was the result Of necessity, and not df de-
sign. Our town will soon get bad name,
fruffianisrn, on such occasions, is tolerated,
and FOR the preservation of its honor, every
good citizen should hereafter lend his aid
towardsi its suppression.

THE FIGHTING ELEMENTAL number of la
borers who had been engaged on the Truckee
Turnpike, were paid off during the present week
by the Secretary of the Company, and some of
them deemed the occasion proper to get on a
spree. After drenching their guzzles inordinate-
ly, they became quarrelsome, and had several
spirited encounters from the shoulder. Blacked
eyes and bloody noses were common for several
days, which will probably serve to teach them
lesson of sobriety, after recovering their wits
and finding that whisky has run away with their
money.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.-Geo.
W.Dericksor informs us, that on Wednesday
night Of last week, several Chinese cabins
on Oregon Greek, hear Freeman's Crossing,
were entered and robbed, by three desparad-
'oes At one cabin they demanded money of
the Chinamen, and on their refusing to pro-
-duce it, robber cut off one of the China
mems queues, and afterwards shot him twice
once in the arm, and another time in the
breast. Fortunately, neither of the shots
'proved mortal. The Cinnamon, badly fright
'ened, then delivered over to the robbers all
the money they had-between fifteen and
twenty dollars, in gold dust.
After this cowardiy exploit, the robbers
proceeded to several other cabins, drove the
Cinnamon out, and carried off their cooking
utensils, clothing, ETC.; but did not succeed
IN getting any more money. There have
been good many petty thefts committed in
that neighborhood lately, says our inform
ant, which gives riseto the suspicion that
band or Villains is camped somewhere not
far off, as several of their depredations have
consisted in the stealing of cooking utensils
of comparatively little value.

GLAD TO HEAR IT.-A gentleman who has
occasion to pass frequently with his team
over The road between this point and Colum-

Oyerseer who was so ably defended last week
by "Bloomer," has gone zealously to work
repairing the broken bridges in his district.
Well done, say we. The gentleman Is thus
proving himself worthy the commendation
of his friends.
We are, by the same informant requested
to give the Cherokee Boad Orerseer dig in
the ribs. His part of the road, we know,
from personal observation, needs improving.
Why don't he wake up? Now is favorable
time for repairs. The earth is moist and
easy to be digged. In a short time there
may be more rain, which will make it too
moist and ''too much of a good thing
but the proverb is musty, and we let it pass.

found to be all right, but there were some
few imperfections in the details. These he
'toiled and sweated over, altering and re al

accomplishing what he intended. Finding
his labofs baff1ed at all points, he lost his
temper, and in moment of excitement,
seized hold Of an axe near at hand, with
which he InadeAa furious attack upon the

HAMMOND AND McCoRKLE.-These gentle
men addresseda large Douglas meeting in
the Theater at this place, on Saturday even
ing last. The former confined himself prin-
cipally to an argument to prove that Stephen
A. Douglas was the regular nominee of the
Democratic party, according to its invariable
usages from 1892 up to the present period
His remarks, which continued for about an
hour and half, were compact forcible and
logical. History was not only explained bnt
vindicated in a most scholarly and mastery
style. Mr.. McCorkle succeeded Mr.. Ham
mond. He spoke principally in condemna-
ton of President Buehanans course towards
Robert J. Walker and of his Kansas policy /;
to prove the principle of Popular Sovereign
ty as advocated and defended by Mr.. Douglas,
safe and conservative in its operation; and
to identify Mr. Breckenridge with the disun-
ion party; besides other matters, which
were ereincidentally alluded to, in the progress
of speech occupying over ah 'hoar. Both

considering who they were, and the interest

On the whole, without having any political

most argumentative and entertaining speech

would advance double that amount for a vote, if
