FrRE-An alarm Of FIRE occurred ct about nine
O'Clock on Friday evening of last week of sufficient
importance 70 bring ont nearly the whole town
= fire originated in unoccupied building on
Ar1ltgomery street, above Downer, and adjoining
the bakery belonging to the Toland estate. The
building was formerly occupied by VIM Nichols,
vbut had we understand recently been sold to o. J..
AeQuaid. Both building. were consumed. The
bakery not in use, but portion of the building
was occupied by Mrs. lie Blanc, as saloon. The
other building was being prepared as boarding
house. We are informed by those who have taken
some pains to inquire into the matter that, il was
undoubtedly the work Of en- incendiary. The loss
Is probably 500 or $500. Fortunately there was
but little wind stirring, or it would have been i'm
possible to have prevented the fire from spreading
to the Foundry and Machine Shop Of Mr.. Theophi-
ius Locher, to the Gas Company's building, and to
the Livery Stable of Ned Bowden, and to the shops
and buildings on the opposite side Of the street.
This escape from general confagration should
have the effect TO arouse our citizens to the neces-
sity Of having some means wherewith to protect
their property against the devouring element.
Several hundred people were present the other
evening, and could accomplish but little, except to
loOk on anu see tue IRE eAN2ust lLselI want OF
further material to consume. The machine shop
Of Mr.. Locher is well supplied with force pumps
and hose for its own protection but farther than
that it was all chance. 1t would cost but trifle
now to buy good second hand fire engine, most
of the larger cities have provided themselves with
steam fire engines Then, when fire should occur
we should have something wherewith to combat it,
and might save property to more than the amount
of its cost on the first occasion of its use. Now
that the town is being supplied with new water
works from the Ditch Company's reservoir on the
hill, which furnishes an excellent head of water,
fire plugs may be erected in the upper portion of
the town, where the force would be sufficient TO
furnish supply, and few reservoirs in the lower
portion of the town, would enable an engine to
successfully combat fire, whenever and wherever
it might We commend this subject to the
serious attention of our citizens. The experience
of Oroville as well that of every other city or
town in the State should be proof satisfactory that
it will not do to trust to 1.-The subimity of luck for
immunity against fire.

PERsoSAL.-Col. Bracket, Commandant of the
post at Camp McGeary, Summit Lake, who has
been below for some time witness before the
retiring board of the Department, has been de-
tanned in town for day two, while on his return
TO his camp. The Colonel participant in the
Mexican war; and went through the entire war of
the rebellion participating in the battles around
Atlanta, and in the closing scenes, after marching
with Sherman to the sea. He spent the past Sc
winter at Summit Lake and was not so favor
ably impressed with the climate at that season as
he is with it now after spending few days in the
heat of the Sacramento Valley. The thermometer
at Camp McGeary ranges about 10o during the
Summer months. We learn from Colonel Bracket
that Ma or Mears who has long been stationed at
the same post will pass up the river in few days
with about one hundred men. whose duty il will be
to assist in overawing the Indians of that vicinity.
Noticing an item in the Sage Brush of Saturday
last to the effect that, three soldiers from Camp
McGeary had been robted of their horses by the
Indians in the mountains above Granite Meadows,
while their way 10 Susanville with the post mail
the Colonel was of the opinion that the boys were
running away, they would not have avoided
Granite Greek, where troops were stationed, and
that the Indians were too smart for them under
such circumstances.

There is deep and growing interest In our
public schools among the people, and the chill
dren OF the people, Of every class. That tho
Board Of Education is awake TO the Importance
Of meeting the demand for additional school
accommodations with an adequate supply, II
evinced by their resolving on Wednesday
evening that special committee of five be an
pointed by the President to consider and report
upon the feasibility of adopting bylaws fixing
the attendance at each school, based upon
sanitary regulations; and also to report what
legislation, II any, is required TO secure better
ventilation, accommodation and care OF the
pupils of the schools, and to give such other
information as may, in their opinion, tend to
secure the health and comfort Of pupils and
teachers, and economy in the erection and caro-
Of the various school buildings. During the
past ten years the attendance at the public
schools has more than doubled. The average
attendance at the day schools Ia about one
hundred thousand pupils and the registration
which Is now being made for the evening
schools that are to be opened next Monday
night already indicates . number Of pupils ex-
ceeding ten thousand Even the new school
buildings which are now or soon will be COM
pleted, and the sites for new school buildings
which have been lately purchased, will proba-
bly, be insufficient for the rapidly multiplying
number Of pupila or these new school build
ings, one in the Fourth ward will accommodate
seven hundred; one in the Fifth ward, seven
hundred; one 10 tho Ninth ward, two thousand
five hundred; one In the Tenth ward, five bum
dred; one In the Eleventh ward, seven hundred
and ffty; one In the Twelfth ward, three thou
sand; one in Vie Seventeenth ward, i've hum
drsd, and one In the Twenty second ward, three
thousand. The One sites purchased for sc6ools
in the Sixteenth, Twentieth and Tvent3 M
wards will accommodate seven thousand \ h
pupils
II has become necessary to fix limit to the
number admitted to each school, to provide for
the suitable ventilation Of the school houses,
particularly Of those erected before the vital
importance Of ventilation was properly appreoi-
ated, and even Of those which have been more
recently erected, but are now unhealthily
crowded. The other objects proposed for the
consideration OF the Committee Of the Board Of
Education are likewise important
The annual salaries paid TO the male and
female principals Of the Grammar schools were
quite justly increased last summer. The ira
dtional distinction is still made in the salaries
Of men and women engaged as teachers 10 the
schools. The highest salary Of male arinck

rebuilt at an aggregate outlay Of one hundred
and fifty thousand pounds "What did ths
provei Why. first Of all, immense liberalIty:
second, immense energy, and, thirdly, real
love for the Church Of England as the Church
OF Christ He trusted the time would never
come when the State would throw OF It's lasf
connection with the Church and God; but Il n
should come, churchmen must trust In GOD
and do their best" The Bishop would be
astonished II told by his American brethren
that English ehurohmen would do infinitely
better than ever should Church and
State be separated. The Pan-Anglicsn
Synod might be recommended to take notice
Of one or two curious fAcs elicited by the.
Ritnalist Commission. "Ths statement" says
the Pal Mall Gazette, "that the Ritunlnt prac-
tices arc more attractive 10 he poor than tho
frigidiies Of the high and drN or the fAnatlolsms
Of the Evangelicals, has broken down. II does
seem, however, that where rich musical ritual
is combined with those broad church doc.
trines which Gro hateful 10 RitualIst and Evan
gelical alike, the poor attend in large num-
bers." Broadness in dogma, with music In
devotion, appears to be the most attractive
combination. "While ell the vestments and
music in the world will not reconcile the work
ing classes TO sacerdotalism, music, without
sacerdotalism, is their delight" Amid oil
all these signs Of revolution In the English
Church it is not easy to discover any sign that
the majority Of the higher clergy are inclined
to carry the desire for reunion With the
older churches to such an extreme as to sacri-
fee the fat salaries which SO many of them
like the Archbishop Of Canterbury, with his
$4,000, in gold, q year-enjoy. Neither
Italian Pope, nor Russian Papa nor English
Prelate can afford to be SO Indifferent to money
as the early Apostles were taught to be BY
their Great Master.
