The entire Eirength of the Fire De-
partmcnt mustered on Monday, for the
Annual Parade. The procession formed
ut :; =. NJ, and marched through the
principal streets, making u display
quite creditable to the fire brigade. The
members appeared in their best ''bib
and tuckcr:'' the Firemcn wearing
their fire proof tiles, red shirts, black
pants and white gloves; the Hook and
Ladder boys appearing in their blue
shirts, black pants and buff caps. The
engine was beautifully decorated with
flowers and eVergreens and gay ribbons,
and was drawn by two of EndOm's
best horses. The hose carriage follow
ed, ornamenteh with ever@rccns and
flowers, and drawn by two prancinG
bays. The Hook and Ladder truck :,
still showing signs of hard SorVir" in
the memorable December con migration,
was tuStclully ornamcntc,t with flowers
and cvergrcens, and displayed the
portraits of Lee, Washington subsistence
wall Jackson, each surrounded with
Wrcaths and pendant from Il frame
work raised above the ladders and OK
tending the whole length. Nine little
boys, in the Company's uniform, Orcu-
pied seats raised upon the ladders and
Immediately underneath the portraits.
The procession was headed by Chief
Engineer pargOuh, and Grand Marshal
Chamberlain, with their StatiS. The
express wagon followed, containing the
Silver trrnct Band, whose inspiring .
music gave decided interest and cntlu-
si;sm to the occasion. President En-
dom, heading tho Fire Company, came
next. Following the trcmcn came
other officers mounted, and then came
President L'IIommcdicu with the look
and Ladder Company and their truck
The procession was closed with CARR
ages occupied by invited guests. II
one of these carriages sat four of MOn
ruc'S oldest citizens, namely, Judge l.
+. Lamy, Mai. II. NJ. Bry, and Mcssrs
\. Lazarc and c.. Brcard. These Cs
tccmed youths (of other days. were tn,
recipients of many compliments, ant
many sincere blessings were invoked
upon their frosty heads. God bless tn
old men-and the old ladies, too.
We arc indebted to Presidents End0n

Town Hall.

The want of 4 town ball increases
with the growth OF the city, and no
;,vailahlo means should be spared by
business men and property holders to
supply ii. The strngcncy of the times
is u serious thought against any costly
enterprise and has a tendency TO draw
together the forces of different interests
and direct them to Il common purpose.
1t seems TO us ilIat we experience all
the difficulties enumerated, and at the
same time have ii in our power To sur
mount them by uniting in the contcm-
courthouse SQUARE. The first story
could DO divided into three or more
offices tho second into 4 spacious hall,
and Inc third into the Lodge.
Such a building would be IN orna-
uent to the city, ANA built on such u
plan would be much cheaper, ant!
would no doubt afford better acconlmo-
lations lorall parties than if desperately
undertaken. We know difficulties
might arise in controlling such an cs-
tablishmcnt, but we think the ncccssi-
ties of the times could suggest Il course
Of action, that the good sense OF the
community would approve, that would
not only insure harmony, but give the
work such support and the enterprise
such encouragement rs to guaranty its
speedy completion.
We hope the subject will receive the
thought to which it is entitled, and
that the city fathers may take such
steps in the matter as will rebound to
our advantage as individuals and citi-
zcns ola growing and cnterprising city.

SENATOR BOB MULLEN AND HIS
GRIEVANCES.

The following communication explains
itsslf and its purposes with ample clear
ness:
BELMONT, October II, 1872.
HARRY MIGHELc.-Dear Sir: As there
has been some comment made upon an
article which appeared in your paper
short time since regarding the Democrat
ic convention of this county and the
Hon. Robert Mullen's" action therein,
and | am involuntarily placed before the
public in an unenviaole light IN connec-
tion with the same, l hope you Will allow
me the privilege Of an explanation through
your columns
Bob Mullen, a self-conceited Irishman
and proprietor of "a bit gin-mill IN this
place, having served term as Senator
ION this county in the Legislature OF
Nevada. in which body he was alaushlng
stock for all on account of his pomposity.
imagining that the article in your paper
had created terrible excitement among the
sople. and that the Democracy were
waiting in breathless expectation for hlm
TO DENY it, denounces me in the chaste
vernacular of his class through the col
urnns of the Reese River Reueie as an
Infamous liar" and author OF the artl-
Gle in question. The truth is, that l was
as much surprised as the Hon. LeSlsla-
tor at reading the article as 1t appeared
in your paper and the facts in the case,
so far as l am concerned, are just these:
This high-toned proprietor OF a cheap
whisky saloon was u candidate for the
Democratic nomination for sheriff OF this
county, but the 'unterritied' of this coun-
ty not having that all abiding faith in his
..powerful influence that he did him
self, defeated him at the primaries and
nominated very worthy gentleman for
that position, who could bring a great
deal more strength to the ticket.
In writing private letter to friend
in Carson City, without any thought OF
its being published, l gave the names of
the Democratic nominees, and also OF
several that had been defeated, remark
inc in connection Herewith that this un-
fortunate candidate for the Sherltfalty
and others of the Democracy We're sore
headed. For this assertion, which every
honest man in Nye county will substan-
tiate. I am published as an " infamous
liar" by this coward Mullen after he had
left this place for the State OF Maine,
where he intends remaining. A1other
poor, weak fraud by the name of W. n.
Granger. over anxious to See his name IN
print, and not being of sufficient impor-
lance to get it there except in paid adj
vertisement, publishes his affidavit in re-
ference to the same article. In conclu-
sion, permit me to say, that | am well
satisfied that my prominence as citizen
of Belmont is not of such as these silly
fools, Bob Mullen and W. N Granger;
and also to ask you for a public explana-
ton as to the authorship of the article as
it appeared in your paper. Yours very
respectfully. JOHN NJ. WHITEHILL.
