alarm on their triangle, quickly follow
ed by the bell over Halpin's store, both
hose companies responding rapidly to
the call. Protection Hose Company
struck Meadow Valley and Main streets
just ahead of Phoebe Hose which came
rafting down Main street a, a rapid
rate both companies turning the corner
pretty near each other. Protection
Hose Company proceeded as far as
Clute's. there making a connection.
whilst Phoebe Hose company made their
connection at the corner of Main and
Meadow Valley streets. In the mean
time hose had been run through the
San Francisco Brewery by Dick McAlpin
and some others and the fire extinguished
with a few spurts of water, Just as the
hose companies were ready to give il
little of the game. Both companies
showed that they were ready and had
their apparatus in good condition in case
OF an alarm. Connections with the
plugs were made with rapidity. The
cause of the fire was the parting of the
stovepipe between the ceilings. The
pipe at the commencement OF Winter
had been refted and wired down to the
roof by proper workmen, but had mys.
teriously become loosened. The pro-
prietors used all due precautions and are
not to blame as they spare no expense
IN looking to the safety of their house
from fire.
CAroLoGY. one retires to bed
as a rule it is desired to sleep, perchance
to dream. But when in the first place
yonr very near neighbors are having a
social party with plenty OF high strung
music, the sleeping arrangements are
apt to be broken up. The same un-
desirable condition supervenes when one
or two cats happen to get locked in a
kitchen Immediately beneath your bed
room and, on your retiring, proceed to
acquaint you with that fact by dancing
the Highland Fling on the kitchen stove
Knocking around saucepans, plates or
other culinary utensils. Then you get
mad, flop round and pray. first for sleep
and then for the cats. The prayerA Of
the wicked however avail not, and You
find that out, for at last one has to get
up and expel the intruders. II you miss
hitting them with a rock or any other
handy missile, tell them to depart in
peace and again retire after, which you
sleep the sleep of the just. The above
was our experience on Friday night.
BAD NEws.-We regret to say that Mr..
j. G. Lynch yesterday morning received
a telegram from Newport. r. l., an
nouncing the sad intelligence of the
death of his brother, Thomas J. Lynch,
prominent and much respected citizen
of that city. The deceased, who was a
native of County Kerry, ireland, had for
many years been engaged in business as
a merchant in New York, and by his fair
and liberal mode OF conducting business
and his answering integrity had won
the unfeigned esteem of large circle of
friends and acquaintance. He leaves a
wife and large family besides other near
relatives to mourn his loss, but WHO will
be comforted in their affection by the
thought of the stainless record he leaves
them as a legacy. Mr.. j. G. Lynch tells
US that in addition to this heavy bereave-
ment in the last few months be has lost
two uncles. We offer Mr.. Lynch and
the family of the deceased our respectful
sympathy at the great loss which they
have suffered.
GAVE OUr.-Wm. Knapp arrived YES
terday from the Vegas ranch, of which
he is one of the owners. He reports that
affairs at Ivanpah are about at stand
still in consequence of the scarcity of
provisions and the impossibility of get
ting supplies. Owing to this state of
affairs the Netherlands were obliged to
shut down their mill and discharge all
their hands until supply was obtained.
The hands therefore had to scatter from
the camp and go to San Bernardino and
other places until the roads permit pro-
visions to be hauled
The ECLIPSE. Yesterday occurred the
annular eclipse of the sun. which was
observed in San Francisco at SIX minutes
after eleven o'clock, and very nearly the

Many sly jokes were perpetrated upon the
unwary by loaning them glass turning
the smoked side to their face, causing
them to become smutted without being
aware of the fact.
