Uor ASHES AeAIN.-Ahout twelve

o'clock on Saturday night last. some
one going into the Exchange Hotel IN
this city, observed bright light ~
the rear portion Of the building anu
called the attention of the landlord 10
the fact. Upon going to the place
indicated. a very nice little fire was
discovered. which had just fairly got
nnder way. and had not the discovery |
been made just in the nick Of Tune,
the hotel would soon have been all
a-blaze. and have received serious
damage II not entirely destroyed The
cause of the fire was the same old story
some one had thrown hot ashes
among the debris in the back yard.
The last fire in this city, 1t will ne
remembered, was caused by placing
hot ashes in wooden box: the asheS
set fire to the box. and fine building
was seriously damaged. Isn't about
time that people had learned that de-
positing hot ashes in barrels or wooden
boxes, or throwing them among dry
cbips, straw. or other light material.
is very unsafe as well as unproii-
table mode of lisposing Of them? 10
say the least. this manner OF dlspos-
ing of hot ashes is very careless, aud
shows either a very reckless us
position or great want OF Judgment
! Albany, like the majority Of the cities
and towns in Oregon. is built up
nrincipally Of wooden buildings. and
during the Summer especially 1t
would be very easy matter to Elndie
a fire that it would be almost lm-
nossible to subdue until a great por-
ton of the city was destroyed. It
certainly is then the part of wisdom 10
be very cautious where you place your
hot ashes. or even where you thro"
thc partly smoked cigar. A little
caution and care may save you anc
your neighbors much trouble and loss
