F,Rx At SILVER CrrY.-This. morning
hs,reen twelve and one o'clock, a FIRE was
discovered in the large frame boarding
house on the east side Of Main street,
lower Silver City. This was the largest
house in Silver, and was occupied by
Mrs, Kelley as a boarding. house, known
As the Merchants Hotel. The flames had
90, such Roadway when they were dis
covered. that it was o o apparent to the
people who came to the rescue that il was
impossible to save the premises, and their
energies were accordingly directed to saw
ing the buildings in the vicinity. Buckets
and blankets were accordingly squickly
used. and there being plenty of water in
the creek in the rear Of the burning
premises-and also in the wells
not another building was allowed
to become ignited, although another large
frame building stood within twenty feet Of
the burning mass. II other buildings had
caught, another immense fire would have
been the result. and a large amount OF
valuable property would have been des-
troyed. A gentleman who was present,
and did good service, informs US nat the
men and women worked for three hours
and a half before they ovrrcame the further
progress Of the ire. II is said that the
flames broke out in an upper room OF the
: building, and which had not been occu.
pied for several weeks, which creates sus-
piciUn that the fire was the work OF an in
cendiary. We have heard that there was
an insurance policy on the premises OF
three thousand dollars, in the Manhattan
Company. The total loss is reported at
six thousand dollars.

the other characters are well cast, and we
doubt not there will be a crowded house

showing that there must have been some
pretty substantial attractions about the
piece somewhere. See the programme for

would be great and sweeping confagra-
tons in Gold Hill and Virginia City next
fall. When we inquired why so:" we
were told that many smoke-Stacks had
been put up in '63, and were now very
thin, from long using. When big fires are
again made in every stove in each house,
you will find that roofs will be frequently
put in a peryerse blaze. Look out!
