AN ANXIOUS IEoUIBER.-The following
communication mas been received from some
anxious individual in the city who forgot to
sign his name: " For Gods sake, what is
the matter with that fire bell No sleep at
night in the neighborhood. Is it toIling for
the dead? II so, could it not all be done in
the day time Please call attention to this
and let the Weary Rest" During the re-
cent strong winds there have been occasional
taps of the alarm bells about the city which
have annoyed and perplexed the fire depart
rlent more than any Others as it compelled a
continuous readiness of duty, and some of the
time keeping horses hitched to engines, ETC.,
even when 1t was obvious that it resulted
only from some defect in the wires or connec-
ton. 1t is supposed that it resulted from
being blown in contact by the wind, and con-
tinuous search was made with a view to
renedying the difficulty and granting relief
to the nervously inclined, but it is under
stood that the cause for the taps was not dis
covered, and il the norther continues to
descend it is quite probable that the tolling
viii continue, and without any special regard
to newspapers or hours OF sleep.
