sis.aut of washoe Engine Company No.
A, Virginia, left for San Francisco last
evening, where family affairs and busi-
ness requires his future residence.
Johnny was one Of the most efficient
and active members of the Fire Depart
ment, and as keen on the scent of a FIRE
as q terrier after a rat. His highest
ambition on all such occasions was to
get Z" FIRST water" even at the risk Of
bodily injury in running with the ma
chine or hose carriage down the steep
cross streets. Faithful to this idea, he
made himself well posted as to where
all the water cisterns were, belonging to
the Fire Department, also the private
water tanks belonging to mining COM
panies and others, which could be mado
available in case of FIRE. He is a thor
6ugh fireman, and delights in doing bat
tie with the fiery adversary, even though
he does get scorched occasionally. We
like to do honor to a smart, brave and
true fireman, wherever or whoever he
may be, and none but the e~nyious and
less efficient will find fault with this no.
tice of Johnny Lee. Who will take his
place, and assist rs he did in keeping up
No. As well earned reputation for gen.
orally getting first water?"

A Coon JoB.-Ws are grati6ed to
announce to the public that the ci,te-n
cover so long awkwardly protruding
itself as a really dangerous nuisance in
the middle Of South c street, Virginia,
sear the old Bajazet works, is removed.
Chief Downey, under the direction of
the Board Of Aldermen, caused the cis-
tern to be filled with waste rock, and
the cover was taken away yesterday, no
more to be there as a nuisance. The
street is now all right in that respect,
and we are pleased to record that all
serts Of vehicles may now pass there,
night or day, without danger Of being
wrecked on that confounded cistern
cover. It's we'll.
