NOTES AND QUERIES.

o. a lew DAYS since, our little city would be
the compactest in the world for fre-fghting
Our water supply is Observation-Disclosures per-
feet, in fact; and the cisterns supported by
the plugs and the plugs reinforced by many
hydrant and numerous reels of private hose,
and the department supplied with steamer
which is almost unequalled in point of ex-

take the Curry and put her in working order
and JOIN hands with the men of the other
companies, acknowledging no enemy but Fire
and entertaining no mean jealousies, but
stimulated by mani Il ambition TO excel, al
ways cheerful and alert under discipline
moved by the strong, earnest purpose of men,
and never by any boyish whims or petulen-
cies: This is all that is needed now. Must
we wait for the lesson of great disaster to be
moved to the requisite action ?..... What

one in town. Ii is II by "a feet surface di-
mansions, and feet deep in the clear. On

the auditorium Of the Carson Theater pre-
scented yesterday afternoon. It looked like
flower garden all blooming with little girls
and little boys, with here and there q larger
and sturdier upgrowth of mamInas and aunt |
les and big sisters. Oh but they were happy |
save now and then when John found HIM |
self in eclipse behind James new hat, or when |
Bartholomew back was too broadfor the sue
cessful sightseeing OF little Bridget. These
small Interruptions were the spice, however,

was brief, violent invasion OF the Empire OF
