II EVENING NEWS.
AFIRE.-Last evening, between six and

southern gable end Of the yesey House
in Gold Hill, which for a short time
threatened to be very serious. The timel!
application Of a few buckets Of water sub
dued the flames until Yellow Jacket Hose
and Liberty Hose arrived on the ground
Yellow Jacket Hose. arrived first, but IN
the hurry and hustle, the water was turned
on before the pipe was adjusted, which
caused a delay and confusion. Liberty
Hose. under the direction Of that bully old
foreman, Bill Lee. came up to the work
with a steadinesS of purpose which was
truly admirable. and put forth a stream on
the fire which eXtinguished every spark
and flame in less time than it takes us to
write this sentence. Our FIRE laddies are
a big consolation TO property holders, and
since We have had them they have had
z cd success in putting u every fire
which they have attacked. The Yellow
Jacket boys will get their hands in alter
II while. Jus. give them another chance.
The fire last night was the work OF an in
cendiary, who had better "vamose the
RANCH" or he may get a rope round his
neck.
WILL CLosE.-W We notice that our
Bankers will close their places Of business
on Thursday next-Thanksgiving Day.
We hope u merchants will follow their
example, in order to give those in their
employ a chance to spend the day as best
suits them. 4 recreation occasionally
does no one an injury; but instead has a
beneficial effect on the working man as a
general thing. Therefore we say close up
and give the boys a chance to return
thanks in any manner they may see fit.
We calculate 10 have n good time-eSpect
10 have forty invitations to turkey"
with some Of Jul good people. 1t makes
the heart sad to be disappointed in ones
expectations; but don't rush in your
=" game" too fast, as our table might not
bear up under the weight OF the accumu-
!ating mass. Office hours, most any time,
on this occasion. y. B.-Plcase have
them nicely picked and dressed before for
warding.
COMPLIMENT RETURNEp.-The jury in
the case of McCuIdy VS.. Alpha Mining
Company. now on trial. have, several Of
them, been fined by His Honor, Judge
Burbank, for being behind time in the

very late. and the jury had an order issued
by the Clerk Of the Court and placed in
the hands of the Sheriff for service. which
was duly executed and the Judge brought
into his own Cour, under arrest. By an
apology the fine was RENTED and his
Judgeship proceeded to business.
Automatically Company h, con-
of sixty-three men, arrived in Nir-
ginia city this morning, en- route from

look hearty and well; the stock was in a
fine condition. We believe that this Com
pany are 10 relieve some company now at
the Fort. who are soon TO be mustered out
of service. We notice several familiar
faces among them. and hearty welcome
among us again.
Be CAREPUL.-Our attention has been
frequently Of late, to the dangerous
condition in which some Of the stove-pipes,
both here and in Virginia, are at present.
Scarcely a day passes but what some very
narrow escapes are made from there being n
large cOnaagration in either Of our cities.
Where the expense Of repair is so little, it is
worth the while Of our property owners
to run the risk which is being done at pres
ent. The proper officers should attend to
this matter before it is too late, and have
these old dilapidated stoye-pipes repaired at
once.
