Fmx AT BULLION RAviSE.-Gold Hill
came near having a goodlively FIRE about
half.past 4 O'Clock p. NJ. yesterday. A
Ere caught in q building in Balloon ra-
vine. owned by Miss frys. and occupied
by Mrs. jenkins. The latter had q fire
in the kitchen stove. in the real Of the
building. near which n pair Of o~veralls
were hanging. She left the lid of the
stove, and went to a front room Of the
house for u few minutes. and upon her
return found tho paper and ceiling Of
the room on fire. Luckily two barrels
Of water were standing in q neighbors
yard adjoining. which were vigorously
applied to the FIRE by q number Who had
collected around tho building. and the
fro was subiued. A new roof. which
wins put on the kitchen last Fall. was
DESTROYED. as the people thought the
fro had communicated to II. The
fro had a good start in the combustiblc
material Of the room. and II was only by
the best fortune that 30 little damage
was done. The Bullion mine Ia but q
short distance above the building. and
thoy had their hose attached to the
hydiants ready for action about the time
the fire was subdued.
IScxSprARIsx.-An attsmpt was made
to Ere No. &c d street. Virginia, about
10 o'clock last night, which came neal
proving successful. The FIRE was started
in a closet adjoining n bedroom n the
second story Of ths building. and burned
through the floor Of the closet and the
ceiling Of the room below. In which the
lady owning the house was asleep. be-
fore il wa discovered. Had II not been
for the opportuns arrival OF q lady
friend, who wished to gain admittanee.
il is more than probable that the build
inc would have been destroyed. The
remnants Of u pile Of paper and linen
were found in the closet. and were no
doubt placed there 10 start the fire. The
bedroom, which the closet adjoins. Is
occupied by telegraph operators. who
were absent at tho theater when the fire
was started. The firo was put out by a
few buckets OF watcr.
