THE EVENING NEWS.

C,srppxs-All of the new cisterns in Fir-
pinia seem to be left without covers, probably
for the nnrpose of allowing the cement with
which thew are coated time to dry. 1t should
10 horne in mind, however, that they are ex-
oood;nelr dangerous, and liable to be the
means Of a fatal accident any night, and
tberefore covered as soon as practicable. we
amt see why few strips might not be
nailed across these openings in such man
ner as TO prevent persons falling into them In
the darkness, and at the same time admit
plenty OF air for the purpose Of drying the
cemented walls.

F1RE.-As we were proceeding to our
lodgings last evening, at about 10 o'clock, our
attention was attracted by bright, lurid
glare in the sky, to the southeast of Virginia,
and apparently caused by an extensive con-
rhapration going on at our sister town OF
DAYTON. 1t was reflected in the atmosphere
of the valley, lighting up the hills to the
eastward, so that the outlines Of the smaller
hills in the vicinity were plainly visible,
which was not the case elsewhere. We
have made great deal Of inquiry to-day, but
have not been able to obtain auy particulars:
