LINN e nse Destruction o. FOOD by Fire
at Empire.

About noon. Yesterday. al alarm o!
ere was sounded, and it was soon made
known to the tiremen that their services
We're needed ut or near Empire; and the
Curry Engine Company made fast tlu.t
IL getting TO the railway station here,
and the cars made such excellent time in
transporting the Ca-ry's m.chine down
to the place of the conhac-ntion that but
eight minutes were consumed from the
bringing Of the engine out OF Its house
sill il was alongside the fire. A great
mass of :ire-wooa, regularly corded up
Ut Il point to the southwest OF the Mem
can mil, WAS found TO be in flames and
burning with fierce glow Of heat which
rendered it impossible to -; within L
hundred yards vi II on the Lex w;.rh sidt;
and, indeed. the heat WAS 50 intense that
It needed al the fremen's endurance to
get near enough to It T" fight lt--but
they did GIT close 10 1t from the WIND

matter. There is an abundance Of water

only it was wisely concluded that they

parties amongst whom We hear the
names of Mr.. Loagab,ngh of Empire.
the Ivancuvich Brothers of Carson, the
Mexican Mil Company, j. L. johnson
OF Genoa. and Sheriff Scott of Alpine
county, Cal. The last named il said 10
be the heaviest loser. There WIS Il con-
siderable quantity of nut pine amongst
the lot. We have heard the amount
DESTROYED varionsly estimated from eight
hundred to eighteen hundred cords. The
best authority We have heard places the
sum total at twelve hundred cords. 1t
was surmised that the fire originated
from sparks from Il railway engine; but
this seems improbable in view of the
fact rs stated at the depot here that no
engine had been in there since Sunday
afternoon. The loss is II very heavy one
and much to be deplored. We learned
OF Bob Pixley that the Virginia Depart
ment had sent down steam fire engine
TO fight the flames.

Pulling a Tooth with a Door Knob.

y. ~ q ~ ~
The rough sort of dentistry described
below, has occasionally been practiced
as trick, which more, or less success,
but we have rarely heard of a patients
choosing the dvor-knob method of his
own accord. 5iia agioJs 5sl.j
A rough, Western farmer came into
a doctors oficeto have tooth extracted,
but hinched at the sight of the t.instrn-
ments;" and again and again the doctor
tried in vain to get a gripper into his
mouth. h. ,-l5s
AT last, the Hoosier declared dis.that
ere new-fangled thing to be no account
and wanted to know if the doctor could
tie a string around the tooth; .for,o
said he, that's the way / used to pull
'em ont. an q guess sit'sss sbetter'n all yeys
new-fangled fixtures"
The dentist, to please him, said ie
would try, and producing from drawer
a fine strong piece of fish-line, and after
a great deal of tronble and wells of pain
from the Hoosicr, it was firmly secured
around the tooth. The Hoosier then, pro-
posed to fasten the string to the door
knob, which was accordingly done. a3
Tie backwoodsman then commenced
q series of easy jerks on the line, each Of
which was followed by yells of;pain. iais
The doctor resumed bis. seat, and
smiled audibly behind his paper, occa-
sonally glancing toward The door, and
then turning. quickly again to the paper
to hide behind it his merriment. ri.
Thus matters stood, until at last the
fire burned low, and the dentist arose to
replenishit. AS he threw in the wood,
and stirred the red-hot Goals into blaze,
a brilliant idea seemed to strike him, for
his face frightened wonderfully. Aris.
ing from the floor, he left the poker in
the fire, and, seating himself, awaited the
change ofaflairs. ~ III III s4,s.
The backwoodsman had relapsed into
dependency, for a melancholy expires
sion had settled on his face. He steadily.
gazed downward, as if he were in deep
thought FL p1ga
The dentist, as / have said before, re-
sumcd his seat, but threw aside his paper
and sat looking intently into the fire.
with an expression of merriment playing
on his features.
Thus he sat for sometime. Atlast.
noiselessly rising from his chair, he drew
the poker, one end of which. was glow
ing with q red heat, from the FIRE. He
suddenly brandished it in the air, and
brought it rapidly toward the Hoosier's
nose. The backwoodsman threw himself
back with jerk. The cord did not
break nor the door-knob come out, but
the tooth loosened from its roots, and
bounded against the door with q click
like bullet.

American Children.

| would venture to remind you that In
vour future relations with your young
pupils YOU be careful to remember that
vour functions must not be confined
merely to the development of their IN
telligence and imparting of information
but there another duty as important as
either of these; and that is that you
should endeavOr to refine their general
behavior, rendering them polite, we'll
bred, deferential, respectful to their pa
rents. TO their elders and their superiors.
Now what | would venture to ask you
from time to time to impress upon your
pupils is this-that though upon the one
hand there is no quality more credltable
than self-respect, yet on the other hand,
the very idea of self-respect excludes
self-assertiOn, and | say it the more read
ilv because | confess that if there is any
criticism which | have to pass upon the
youth of this country-l do not say OF
Canada especially, but of the continent
of America-it is that | have been struck
nv the absence of the Difference and re-
snect for those who are older than them
selves. to which we still cling in Europe.
I have observed in travelling on board
the steamboats, ON the St. Lawrence,
| children running about from one end OF
! the boat to the other, whom more than
once | was tempted to take up and give
good whipping. | have seen them
thrust aside two gentlemen in converse
ton. trample on ladies' dresses, shoulder
their way about, without thought OF
the inconvenience they were causing,
and, what was more remarkable, these
little thoughtless indiscretions did not
seem TO attract the attention of their pa
rents. When | ventured to make an OBJ
seryation on this to the people with
whom | have been travelling. l was
always told that these little individuals
came from the other side of the line
Well, | only hope that this may be true
at all events, without inqulrlng toe
strictly how that may be, l trust thai
the school teachers of Canada will &c
their best to inculcate into, their puPilF
the duties of politeness and refined De
hayior, and if they only take httl'
trouble they will contribute greatly Z
