thore was almost a fist-elass fire in the
express Office. in Silver City. Tho cir
cumstances Of the case arc these: The
stove in tho Office was cleared Of ashes
by the porter, who foolishly left them
standing in q box in the Office; there
they smoldsrei after every one had left
at night. A watch dog and cat are gen.
orally left in the room. During the
night. n man by the name OF Ripley.
who sleeps next door, heard tho dog
moaning. and thinking all was not a. it
should be. he arose and went out TO the
express Office. lie Immediately saw the
smoke in the room, and breaking a win
dow he cnwlei in and threw the burn
ing oox into the street. Before he could
o1iinguish the fire completely. he Was
almost a~sphysiated. The dog made u
jump through the window and after run
ming n short distance fell dead. The
eat hsj already died before Ripley broke
the window.
To EcoSoNHE.-At a meeting OF tho
Board Of Aldermen. Of Virginia, last
night, 1. was resolved that the Boari
constitute itself q Committee Of tho
Whole 10 consider the sdvisability Of
limiting III. Virginia Fire Department TO
three steamers and one Hook and Lad
der Company. The reason for this Is,
that the present Fire Department Is
costing too much. These gentlemen are
supposed to know their own business
bsst and TO act only for the best interests
Of the public; but at tho same time we
think il psnny-viss-pound-foolish bus
mess for them TO entertain such al idea
for a moment. Should they decide upon
rstrenchment there are ether depart
ments that will afford better fields.
