FIREMEN'S REUNION. Lie men,
bers Of Liberty Engine Company No. I
had a grand iollifcation last evening
at their hall in Gold Hill. It was a
genuine tireman's Thanksgiving cele-
bration. A bountiful collation. OF SUBJ
stantial edibles was spread for the hun
cry, aud the thirsty were entertained
with every description OF modern de-
coctions, ranging proniscuously and
inclusively from egg-nogg to lager
beer. The refreshments were dis
pensed By Dan Corcoran, Tommy
Booth and young Mike Kennedy, ID
Assistant Foreman. who did every
thing Ia their power to make every
body happy. Space will not permit
us to give in detail the many toasts
aud responses, and the innumerable
songs. We cannot refrain. however,
from making special mention Of the
songs by Joe Brennan, who seemed to
be the particular favorite Of all. He
sang castles In the Air" Michael
Schneider's Party" My Love Nell"
Tin Flaherty," ETC.. In very supe-
rior and acceptable style. Billy Kelly
sang several comic songs. among
which were "Shaking Dlces" and
"Finnegan's Wake" or other sing
ers who contributed to the enjoyment
Of the occasion, we can only recall to
mind the names Of James Baglin, w.
X. Willis, Mike Corcoran and Dan
Corcoran. Uncle Billy Meserve was
moving around quietly, bursting with
enjoyment, and seemed to be the
presiding genius OF Thanksgiving.
I'VE learn that Parson Gibson was un-
avoidably absent, too much Thanks

spirit Tor spirits) was present. n cir
culated freely. lii. Holman, ex-Fore-
man Of the company, devoted himself
TO the task OF standing ut the door ana
dragging everybody inside who at
tempted to PASS. and we came near
having our hand crushed In his vice,
like grip when he tackled us. Toward
the close, John Ii. Mills, President OF
the company. was called upon. and
made a few remarks pertinent to the
occasion. He said that the Liberty
boys were the only firemen In the

hoped they would continue to cele.

lowship and happy feeling; he said
that Liberty was the oldest fire COM
pany in the town-the starter OF the
Fire Department, etc. He was warm
ly applauded at the close, and the fol-
lowing toast drank standing: God
| bless our Mills-they are the saviours
of our country" This pleasing re.
union was kept up till quite n late
hour.
A REMARxADLE Case OF PRESENCE
or MISp.-We confess to a feeling OF
admiration for a man who a think
and act, when upon thought and
prompt action, in time Of peril, the
safety of himself or Of his comrades
depends. Frank Dunn, who was one
of the party that made the rapid de-
scent this morning into what might
reasonably have been supposed to be
a watery grave in the Silver Hill mine,
displayed remarkable presence Of
mind. At the time the accident oc'
| Cured he had on 4 PAIR OF gun oools,
which became wedSed In the bottom
of the cage in such a manner that nc
could not release his feet with hi
boots on. Notwithstanding the fac0
that he was submerged with water, nc
managed to unite the straps OF hi
boots and crawled up from what prom
ised to be u watery sepulcher, leaving
his boots behind.
