F1RE.-On last Saturday afternoon a
fire was discovered in pile of cedar bark
in the rear of J. McFadden's lodging
house, ON Main street. The alarm was
given and the hose companies were very
prompt and soon extinguished the flames
J. B. MCGEE, before the hose companies
arrived, managed to keep the flames with
in bounds by throwing water on the fire
with bucket, and it was very fortunate
that he did so, for the day was windy
and the fire was in nest OF very infiam-
nable buildings, and it was a narrow
escape for the town. There has been a
large amount of cedar bark lying in the
rear of j. McFaddens and the San Jose
House for some time, and children play
ing and lighting matches i'll the bark,
the town is liable to burn at any moment.
Persons cannot be to careful in keeping
their premises clear of infammable ma
terial.

horse "Baldy" died on Wednesday OF
lung fever. Badly" was as well-known

Kee. having been in Macs services for the
past seven Years. "Baldy" was noted
Tor his fast walking qualities, being one
of the fastest walking horses in the coun-
try, and many day he has carried Mac
from 80 to 100 miles between sun-up and
shutdown, which was no mean days
work, the Sheriff being man who brings
down the scales at about 24O. When
Badly" breathed his last the Sheriff felt
as though his right bower had been taken

the buzzards of feast.
