Precautions Against Fire.


The snltry summer season is upon US, when
the liabilities to fire are increased hundred
fold. The limited amount of water with which
the town is supplied, and the small quantity of
rotten and almost useless hose on hand, render
it extremely important that our citizens should
take some instant measures for providing against
conaagration. A prominent fellow citizen and
property holder has suggested to US, that the sum
OF Is or $1,000 judiciously expended, would pro-
cure the apparatus and provide the conyeniences
necessary to resist the flames. He proposes that
twenty property holders shall each subscribe
$50-and he is willing to head the list-to pur-
chase whatever amount of hose may be required.
A small reservoir, costing not over $500, could
be constructed on the hillside, {south,) directly
below the Eureka Ditch, from which it would
receive its supply. pipe Of ample dimensions
could be extended from this reservoir, under
ground, and connect with the pipe from which
the four plugs on the Main Street now derive
their Inefficient volume of water. The pipe, and
laying it down, It is estimated, would cost $500,
and the pressure would be equal to 1870 feet A
grand ball, and theatrical benefit given by
some popular company, would furnish funds
enough in addition to the thousand dollars SUBJ
scribed, to foot the entire bill of expenses.
Citizens generally, and property holders par
ticularly, are requested to give this matter their
immediate attention. can ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure"

THE BEAR LoosE.-Hercules, the young Fras-
er River bear which refused to fight the bull on
the Fourth, is kept fastened near his cage in
George Mitchel's stable yard. On Wednesday
he broke his chain, got into Georges stable, and
performed variety of antics, such as upsetting
barrels, pulling down the hay-racl and dining
upon such provender as came within the purview
of his burglarious investigations. A Spanish
lady who resides on the adjoining lot, sat sewing
in the front room of her dwelling. She heard
footstep entering at her back door, but sup
posing it to be her little son, returning from
school, paid no particular attention to the mat
ter. There was pattering Of feet on the floor,
approaching to her very side. After the lapse
of a moment, she turned her head with the view
of speaking to her boy, and beheld the bear sit
ting on his launches, and his paws extended
within few inches of her person The retreat
which she effected through the front door, can be
more easily imagined than described.
Hercules, like sensible brute, finding his
company not appreciated in that quarter, left the
house unbidden, without doing damage to the
furniture or even gratifying his curiosity by TAX
ing stolen peep into the larder. In his pere-
grinations about the premises, he discovered a
tank of water, into which he plunged, and where
he disported for few minutes in style that
might be termed {" are jolly" The alarm hav-
ing by this time been given, several gentlemen
repaired to the spot with clubs in their hands,
and without much difficulty persuaded brun that
it would be to his interest to get back to his den,
which he did, in short order, and was again cir
cumscribed to an area of fifty feet ofpromenading
ground, by having the divided links of his chain
riveted tighter than they had been in the first
instance.

SOCIAL ENJoYMENTs.-There is time for all
things, saith Solomon, Dancing has its time,
and is among the most delightful, healthful and
innocent of all recreations-the denunciations
of bigots to the contrary notwithstanding. Those
who are fond of the pastine, will find excellent
opportunity for indulging it during the next few
weeks. Several social balls are in preparation,
At Lake City, Camptonville, San Juan, and per-
haps other places, for the entertainment Of
Terpsichorian votaries.

SMOKING IN THE THEATER.-The attention
of the Trustees of the new Theater is called to
the communication of "a Married Man" in to-
days paper. We have no doubt they will take
measures for the prevention Of such exhibitions
of bad taste-not to use a harsher term-in
future. To be sure, it is not the Trustees, but
the lessees of the building who are responsible
for the behavior of an audience; but in letting
the building, the Trustees might make it con-
dition that such practices should be suppressed.
