IMPENDING DANGER Those who lived
in Phoebe at the time of the burning OF
the town on the 18th Of September,
1871, and We're spared the consequences
of the dreadful confagration and explo.
sion on that occasion, have lively recol-
lection of the loss of life which resulted
iromths explosion Of powder, which had
been stored in prominent locality in
the town. In the absence Of town in
corporation, Of course there is no legal
remedy for the storage of powder in
localities where in case of fire, the lives
ofhundreds may be endangered, There
fore, we appeal to all to be careful, for a
fire may occur at any time. and let it not
be said that in addition to fire we have to
record an explosion of powder. There
is no good reason why such explosive
articles should,not be stored whore dan
ger Is impossible. We learn Of at least
one who seems to disregard the usual
precaution, and is storing powder in a
public place, where an explosion would
deal DIES truction to numbers of people.
A WHITE OUTRAGE UPON INDIANS
We learn from Col. Jennings, Deputy
Indian Agent, that two white men went
to the lower end of Meadow Valley five
or six days ago, and being provided with
liquor distributed the beverage among
the Indians, and afterwards outraged
one or more OF the squaws. The Indi-
ans were greatly incensed, and the
warriors painted themselves and prepared
to go upon the war-path. Col. Jennings
hearing OF the trouble through some Of
the Indians, repaired to the scene of the
disturbance, and by persuasion and the
distribution OF presents, induced the
warriors to forego their contemplated
raid. The perpetrators of the outrage
deserve punishment.
THE PROSECUTION RESTS. ''-Yester
day morning while the Grand Jury were
pursuing their proceedings in secret and
there was a lull in the Court of Justice
Stoutenburgh, we happened to enter the
Temple of Justice, where we found the
District Attorney reclining upon an
armed chair, with his feet in another.
Soon after, Judge Pitzsr, who is well
known as something of humorist, en-
tered the room, and comprehending the
situation at glance, remarked 1.-THE
prosecution rests" The laugh which
followed aroused our worthy District
Attorney from his reverie, and the wo rid
went on as it went before.
CHINESE Row.--On Thursday row
occurred in Chinatown between two
brothers of the sun. We have only been
able to learn that card playing led to the
difficulty, and that one of the parties
received cuts in the hand and on the
hip. The offender was the object of
search by the officers, and 80 we con-
cluded to say nothing about the affair,
IN the hope that the ,perpetrator of the
crime might be arrested. We learn, how
ever, that the party of the second part
took the alarm when he saw the mischief
he had done, and on Friday went out
about four miles on the Hamilton road.
where he took the stage for Hamilton.
How IT WoRks.---A few days ago it
was mentioned in these columns that
there were some blankets at Justice
Stoutenburgh's Office, which the owner
could obtain by calling for them. All
that day the Office was beseiged by
parties claiming to have lost blankets;
the callers might be numbered. by humid
reds, and they presented truly cosmo-
politan crowd, without regard to race,
color or previous condition of servitude
The loss of the blankets seemed as pre-
valent among those of the genus homo
as the epizootic among the equine
species. by Ecu
