Yesterday forenoon, as a teamster
with two heavily loaded quartz wagons
was driving aloog Souih u street, when
dump the earth suddenly gave way un-
der mis- forward wagon. The front
xheels Of the wagon dropped down
below the surface, and the whole train
seemed about to disappear in the bowels
of the earth. The teamster managed 20
get his team loose aud out of the way,
though there was but a mere shell of
ground Seneath their feet. The wagon
turned over aud lay in a very bad posi-
ton over she yawning cnssn below,
and it was feared for a time that one or
both of the wagons would be swallowed
up. Although the hole was small at
the surface-but few feet in diameter

reaching as tar as the eye could see
into the lower regions. For some time
it was feared that an extensive cave
would occur 1t .be surface, aod persons

FIRE II VIRGINIA CITY.-Iester3ay :
Enterprise contains the following ac-
count of FIRE wIch occurred there on
Friday evening:
Last evening abou, 81 o'clock fire broke
out on South Howard street, in this city, and
before II was sudoued two dwellings were
destroyed, with the greater part of their con-
tents. The fre broke OUT IN a shed kitchen
in the rear of house owned BY John All
man but occupied BY Mr.. Peck, and the
flames were soon communicated to the resi-
dence of Mr.. ]. W. Hemenway, the next
building on the south. The alarm was soon
given and the various engine companies were
promptly in motion. The FIRE being well up
On the side of Mount Davidson and the
streets being extremely steep and rough, it
was matter of no little difficulty to drag
the engines up to the FIRE, yet they managed
20 get there somehow in an extraordinarily
short space of time. For a long time a large
frame house belonging to Ham Lign,
and occupied by Joseph Myrisk was in great
danger. 1t stood Immediately north of the
house in which the fire originated, and at one
time its roof and one side were wrapped in
flames, but by the most strenuous exer,ions
on the part of the hremen and citizens, who
clambered upon the roof with buckets Of
water, it was at length saved in a some what
scorched condition The tiremen planted
themselves between this and The Altman
building. and in spite of the great heat
fought the FIRE, within few feet Of them on
either side, and at length gained victory
over it. Mr.. Eemenway's building was in
su,ed in the Pacific for $500, but we be-
lieve there was no insurance ON the Altman
house. Hemenway succeeded in saving
piano, sewing machine, and a considerable
amount of Misunderstanding, clothing, etc.,
but in the Altman house Mr.. Peck lost every
bedding, furniture and all.
He had in his house $1,000 in checks and
his wife had $50 in greenbacks. The s., coo
will not be lost, but the greenbacks are of
course greenbacks no longer. The furniture
was carried out of the Ham Light house,
but all would have been saved had nothing
been removed. Two or three small sheds in
the rear of the dwellings were also destroyed
partially or totally. The fire is said to have
from a stovepipe in the shed kit !
IN Of the Altman house. The total loss BY |
he FIRE is probably somewhere near 5000. |
