ON Sunday morning last abo

LYNNE wv willard
F,nr-On Sunday morning last about
Ia m. the town was startled by an
a,,rm of fire. on McCannon street, just
hacl of the Marysville Hotel, cabin
Occupied by Charles Peterson was found
~ he on fire. in very few minutes the
a.wes burst through the roof and caught
= oobin owned by Mr.. Crowley on one
side aud Goodspeed's dwelling-house on
.ha other. The inmates of the latter
were asleep, but were awakened by their
neipbbors, and the most of the furniture
taken out. though it was seriously dam
need BY hasty handling. The Hook and
Ladder and hose Companies were now
On hand. Through some mistake there
was few minutes delay in getting the
hose coupled and the stream laid on, but
that was quickly remedied, and when
,ba stream was directed on to the fire it
did excellent service. The roof and one
side and portion OF the interior OF
Goodspeeds house was blazingfuriously,
but the effect of the steady stream soon
made itself apparent, and by the aid of
the Hook and Ladder Company, who
nrlled the two shantes down and the
porch of Goodspeed's house, it was evil
dent that the flames were under control.
Luckily the night was perfectly still,
scarcely a breath of air was string, SO
the fire was confined to the three build
ipgs mentioned. If gale had been blow
ing, as it had been doing several days
before the last day or two of fine wealth
er, it would have been very difficult
matter to have saved the town. The
loss, though serious of course to the in
diyidual sufferers, who have our hearty
sympathy, is not very great. The
marked effect produced by the constant
and forcible flow of water through the
hose, shows that if fire in almost any
port of town can be got at in anything
like time, it can be e1tinguished. We,
therefore, would suggest that great care
and vigilance be used to keep the appa-
ratus, hose and fire plugs in the best
possible condition, ready for instant
service, as in constant preparation for
speedy use depends the safety OF the
town. Both fire companies worked
well, and only want little more atten-
ton to discipline and steadiness to be-
come tirst-rate firemen.
BASE BALL.-The second and last game
Of base ball between the Piute Club of
Bullionville, and the Phoebe Nine was
played at Bullionville on Sunday last.
Our boys gave good account of them
selves on their return, having defeated
their opponents by eight runs. The fol-
lowing is the number Of runs made each
innings:
Phoebe, 8 l 4 3 6 lie
Piute, 4 l o 8 . 3 Oil
On account of the wind and dust, it
was agreed that seven innings should
constitute the game. Notwithstanding
the disagreeables above named, the game
was we'll played throughout. and closely
contested, as evidenced by the above
score. H. c. Chaplin acted as Umpire,
and was loudly cheered by both clubs on
the conclusion of the match, for his able
and impartial judgments. d. s. Cros-
man scored for the Phoebe, and H. Marks
for the Piutes. After the game the
Piutes were invited by the victors to
dinner, which was prepared for the occa.
sion ~ friend Harry Bryant, to whose
good cneer the boys did credit-as who
would not-after the fatigues Of closely
fought battle. The Phoebe Club re-

guests, the Piute Nine.
