JAKE.-John Sutherland, the Scotch
tailor, is fond Of good joke and knows
how to play one. His neighbor Crom-
well, the one armed fruit dealer, called
into the tailor shop, yesterday, TO SYM
pathize with the cross legged stitchers
on the heat they had to stand, while it
was so cool in his own shop where the
thermometer stood at SO. In order more
clearly to demonstrate to his neighbors
how great right he had to be happy in
the matter of temperature, he went out
and brought in his thermometer. Find
ing the tailors breathing in air heated to
ninety degrees he congratulated himself
again and pitied them all he could. But
while he was haranguing still on the adj
vantages and GOODNESS of his booth,
Sutherland who had been handling the
heat measurer slipped it on to the stove
where they were heating some smooth
ing irons and let it remain until it had
run up to lis degrees Brother Crom-
well could stand it no longer, in imagin-
alton he was deluged in sweat already,
the Lord had blessed him with a cool
place and he was going for (which he
did forthwith and post haste.

and with power upon the virtue Of con
filling faith in the Savior, in whom we
can Go all things. lie drew some grand
pictures Of the history and effects Of sin.
Ills choice of words oyinced originality
and rare felicity Of expression. His
voice and person are an evidence of
power and the audience was prodisposed
in his favor before he had spoken. His
sermon was well analysed and on the
whole, clear. We hope the Bishop may
come and preach again.

FIRE-The alarm of fire was given,
yesterday afternoon, quarter to foul
O'Clock by a locomotive that WIS on the
track near the burning house which
belonged to one Kelly a section boss in
the employ of the Virginia and Trucl.ee
Railroad Company. The building WAS
Just finished and had not been painted.
It Law Just east of the track with 4 pile
of wood intervening. When the engines
reached the ground the house was wrap
ped in flames and beyond the hope of
salvation. In ten minutes after the first
alarm both engines were on hand but
embarrassed to find water. The Curry S
put their suction hose in well of muddy
water, dug to supply the wood engine.
but the distance to the fire was too great
for the five hundred feet of hose rolled
out and they were detained while waiting
for two hundred AMI fifty feet more that
were brought to the scene of the fire as
quickly rs possible by Colonel Curry

had taken position by the tank in Ather-
toms hay yard and being near at hand
threw the first stream into the flames
just as the boys of the other engine
were Juggling at their hose with COM
inendlble bat vain energy to bring it
only few feet nearer. Before the first
water came the house had fallen in, and
the wood pile between it and the track
had become igEited and WAS being rap
idly consumed The wood was soon ex-
tinguished, however, with the loss of
cord or two. The wind was blowing
brisklv from the west and the houses to
leeward would have been destroyed but
for their distance from the iiames and
probably the hard worked for and scanty
supply of water thrown upon the sheds
from buckets. To show how combusti-
Ile frame work is at the present season,
il was barely fifteen minutes from the
time the house caught aire till it had
fallen in.

Judge Whitman, and Mr.. Rice. George
Chedic applied to the State for eighty
acres of land upon the northeast forty
of which he holds the spring to be loca-
ted. He claims that it was surveyed and
that he made his application based upon
the survey 1--WE are uninformed as to
who made the survey for the purpose of
securing first right TO the water. Mr..
Ierington has lately sent out n surveyor
OF the railroad company to investigate
the affair and resurvey the section.
This surveyor Mr.. C. L. Anderson we
believel did as directed, and having
surveyed the grounds reported that the
spring is not situated on the land for
which Mr.. Chedic applied and to which
he may low claim patent from tie

preliminary payment ON the ten year

GAME.--Sportsmen who have lately
been on the hunt say that the young
ducks are all big enough to fly independ-
entity, now, and are trying their wings in
considerable numbers about Washoe
lake. They tell also of lots of grouse
and quail on the hills to the west Of the
lake, but they have not been successful
so far in producing the irrefutable argu-
ment of luck, i. e. the game itself. OF
ducks our Sunday hunters can show
plenty. There is reported to be fine
lot of snipe about the hot springs in the
neighborhood of the lake towards the
Bowers Mansion. Our Carson hunters
do not seem to be ''stuck AFTER snipe
shooting, and we make this latter report
for the benefit of Virginia sportsmen
