AusrrS.-The Austin Reveille com.
msnts on the apathy which the news Of
the damage caused by the late cloud
burst was received throughout the. Estate.
We think that the lack of the expression
OF sympathy arose from other causes
than the lack of real, sincere and lively
regard for the gay little city of Austin
and its inhabitants. In the first place
the vines were out of order, and the news
was received twenty-four hours behind
time. In The next place, when it was re.
ceiyed the dispatches spoke so hopefully
and cheerfully, while admitting very
severe loss, that offers of assistance
seemed ont of place. We think, on the
other hand, that If Austin called for help
there is scarcely man in the State that
would not have sent something, es.
pecially those who, like ourselves, have
spent many pleasant hour in the city
Of the Toiyabe.
FIRE.-About 10 o'clock on Sunday
evening the alarm Of fire caused all our
citizens to turn ont. The fire was found
to be above the No. 3 hosting works Of
the Meadow Valley. 1t was confined to
q single cabin, which was entirely con-
sumed The department did the best
they could to get at the fire with their
apparatus. but were unable to do much
good. The Hook and Ladder Company
left their truck, but carried their hooks
to the scene of action. Earl Hamilton
carried one on horseback. The Hose
Company were ordered not to take their
hose reel out, as from the great distance
from the hydrants it was impossible to
throw stream on the burning building.
The loss, though serious to the owners
Of the cabin, is not large.
The GoRMAN CHILDREN.-Mr. Camp
bell informs US that in addition to the
net proceeds Of the benefit given by the
Phoebe Minstrels, amounting to S374,
that 500 was collected by Fred Baker,
and the total sum now in the hands OF the
trustees is S4S3. A handsome donation,
and will do much toward promoting the
welfare Of these orphan children. On
Saturday last an order was made in the
District Court which will enable the
children to enter the State Orphan
Asylum, where they will be properly
cared for. The mountain boys may be
little rough, but when orphan children
appeal to them for help, they never fail
to generously respond.
ANOTHER F1RE took place last evening
about II O'Clock. About that time o
large cabin situated on the hill back Of
Mr.. Clark's residence. and tenanted by
some Chinese, blazed away in good
earnest. In few minutes the fire boys
had out their hose, which they attach ed
to the hydrant at the Water Office and
then carried no the hill. So soon az the
water came through the nozzle il made
short work Of the FIRE, and thus saved
the greater portion OF the building. The
members OF the department are entitled
to much credit for the ready and active
willingness which they exhibit in endeav-
oring to save the property of their fellow
citizens.
For SHERIFF. --John Roeder announces
that he is candidate for the position Of
Sheriff. We have nothing to do with
party politics; but this we may say, that
Mr.. Roeder has filled the Office OF Coun.
ty Treasurer most efficiently, diligently
and honestly. He is o well known and
worthy citizen. and we believe will
always be found to bs trustworthy and
competent in any Office which may be
entrusted to him by his fellow citizens

leanings, these gentlemen are very pleas
