A DANGEROUS tIRE.-Aoout 40 CLOCK
Sunday morning, Joseph Haydn, the
trusty night Waterman at Piper's Opera
House, Virginia, discovered a FIRE blaz-
ing up in a pile Of old lumber at the
rear Of the Enterprise Office, in the back
ward, probably caused BY cinders or
ashes carelessly thrown out. He imme-
diately gave the alarm, aud the Gould
& Curry whistle and the FIRE alarm bells
responded, calling u some of the ma
chimes. They, however, were not
brought into use, for Haydn procuring
assistance and numerous buckets OF
water, managed to put the FIRE out just
in time to prevent il from commune
eating to tho wooden buildings imme-
diately near it, in which case an extern
siye conaagration might have ensued,
including even the Enterprise Building,
which, although Of brick, is not pro-
teeted by iron shutters.
ARRIvkD.-Joe Mcguire, the former
we'll known sweet tenor singer, in the
old Vagina Gles Club, re.ured to Vir-
ginia this morning, after an absence OF
two or three years in the East. We
had the pleasure of grasping his friendly
hand once more on his arrival, and,
consider him better and healthier look
ing than when he left. His relatives,
friends, and people generally, have
"dealt with him kindly and cheered
his young heart " all possible, but Joe
got to thinking Of old Washoe, and when
the west wind waited to his keen nos
trils as it were the scent Of the distant
sags-brush, his ears iuvoluntarily
pricked up aud he felt impelled to come
back. He is going to stay among as
now-to reside, perehance to marry (;
ave, there's the rub. His numerous
friends say +" welcome, Joseph"
