INsURANcE.-We yesterday saw letter
from John L. Durkee, Fire Marshal of
San Francisco, in which he says that
lately he has been obliged to cut off some
of the insurance policies in Phoebe,
owing to the extra risk incurred during
this cold snap by the freezing of water,
etc., whereby the town might be ire
vocably ruined in one night. He has
also heard OF threats being made that if
certain property was not delivered up it
would be burned down. This caused the
policies of insurance to be cancelled by
telegraph by the companies.
FROZEN PLuG-- The plug at the corner
of Meadow Valley and Main streets was
frozen on Tuesday night. j. B. Ayres,
acting the good Samaritan, thawed it out
on Wednesday morning, and Captain
Lubbock completed the job by seeing
that the communicating pipe WAS put in
good order. which was done after con-
siderable digging away of ice and snow.
JNo. G. LYNCH, proprietor of the Fash
ion Saloon Main and Lacour streets,
in whose building our business Office is

'panes" of glass in our Office windo VS.

business which at the present time is
very acceptable.
