meetings of both fire companies last ey.
ening, ard noticed among other things,
the lack Of interest shown b some OF
the members in the matter of non-a,.
tendance, &c. We know OF nothing of
more present interest 10 all our citiz Us,
big and little. young and old. Republi.
cans and Democrats, than this matter
OF protection against fire. In a town
Ike this eternal vigilance is the price of
safety. Il fire. allowed to get 20 minutes
headway 10 this town would wreak ser
ions disaster. Everyone knows this; q
good many have reason to know it mora
vIvIdIy than We can state it. Now, AZ u
good many of our fire boys are away on
leave Of absence and the fire roll is not
what /. Was last Fall, those who are here
and standing in. think that few new
members would be Of grea. benefit in
every way, aud that renewed interest on
the part of several of the old members
would also be very acceptable. This is
something that needs DO urging; the
simple suggestion will be sufficient. We
have three first-rate com panies, well-ofi-
cered, and everyone with his heart in the
WORK; We have just az good water IA
cilities as can be found on the Coast and
only need little prompt cooperation in
the matter to be well-guarded against the
enemy Of all mining towns-the dread
full fire.

WALKING out past the Court House
with friend yesterday afternoon, we
noticed flock OF futtering birds sitting
on the telegraph wires. The little
things flew and chirguped, with the news
of the world running in silent current
under their feet. The rise and fall of
values, the movements of Kings aud
armies; it was a similitude of The light
and thoughtless surface action of our
lives, while the deeper and sterner phase
of our existence goes on in silent flow.
GOOD INDICATIONS. We heard yester.
day evening that case of Henry rifles

This is considered good indication of a
