.,sr active in their duties as members OF
the department, and citizens. have taken
The ipitiatory steps to secure fitting cele-

noin,sd to make the necessary arrange
ppants In the evening the department
I;lI give a grand ball, the proceeds Of
nh;cb will be devoted to the benefit of
,hs department, which greatly needs
some material assistance. We hope our
citizens in general will give helping
hand, so that an appropriate celebration
can be had, closing with gay and splen-
did ball.
NUrs.NcE.-The firing of that par
ticular specimen of Celestial ingenuity
known rs Chinese bombs. threatens to
become dangerous nuisance. As an
erample, last evening the case of one of
these imitation projectiles lodged on the
roof of Sutterly's photograph gallery.
and came very near making blaze.
This matter ought to be looked after by
the officers, and if there is any mode OF
stopping so dangerous q practice, it
should be adopted. In q town like
Phoebe. composed chiefly of wooden
buildings which become as dry as finder,
there is enough danger of fire at all
times, without unnecessarily increasing
the risk.
FIRE DEPARrMEYT.-Ata meeting held
last evening of the members Of the de.
partment, a resolution was adopted en-
towering the President of the depart
ment to appoint o committee of five
members to take the proper steps for the
celebration of the Fourth of July, the
committee to be invested with the full
power to make all the necessary arrange
ments. The President appointed the
following gentlemen to act on said com.
mittee: P. Holland, G. Wiederhold, A.
u. Emanuel, J. B. Smith and M. d. Hal
pin. 1t was also determined by the de.
partment to give grand ball on the
evening of the Fourth; after which the
meeting adjourned.
ADJUSTMENTS. We don't know wheth-
er it was in emulation OF the Eurekans
or not-for the folks of Charcoal Flat
are about or are having good time rae.
ing-but our citizens managed to get up
an impromptu race yesterday between a
Phoebe nag and fiery steed from Dry
Valley, in which the latter got away with
the race. In the evening-in anticipa-
ton OF the Fourth of July, we suppose
the boys were busily engaged letting off
re-crackers, Chinese bombs, and such
like devices for fzzling and making
noise, and succeeded admirably in the
last particular.
MILLS Seminary Under tho head
OF New, To-day" will be found the ad-
vertisement of the above well. known
educational establishment, which ranks
Umopg the highest in California. This
Institution has won well deserved repu-
tation for the unexceptionable manner
in which it is conducted, the pupils en-
joying the advantages of carefully ar
ranged course of study, with the most
sedulous care for their comfort and well
being. l..a
YESTERDAY the argumentum ad homi-
mem was well illustrated by a couple of
disputants who had some difference re-
specting the facts of particular matter.
The discussion was closed by one OF
them emphatically stating his view OF
the case, accompanying his statement by
knock-down bow, which silenced, if il
did not convince his opponent. There ID
nothing like emphasis, even II it is mus.
cular in its character.
HAMILTON s.-Last night as we were
returning from the Firemens' meeting We
were invited by friend Hamilton to take
"suthin," an invitation we had neither
the heart or inclination to refuse. We
found things as usual quite lively in his
saloon After duly honoring ''suthin"
connected In the highest style Of mixo
logical art, we concluded that those who
are seeking an agreeable thirst allayer vii
40 well to visit Hamilton's well-knowr
saloon.
LAST evening large crowd visited
bony Williams saloon on Main street
attracted no doubt by the cheerful strain,
W oand OF music which played fol
