FIRE.
The House Occupied by J. A. Bon.
ham Partially Destroyed.


Last Wednesday evening about half
past 7 o'clock, the residents Of our lit
tie town were startled by the cry Of fire,
and few minutes after the cry. the fire
bell gave the general alarm. The fire
was discovered to be in the house owned
by J. M. Douglass & Co., and occupied
by Mr.. J. A. Bonham. The fire caught
IN a clothes press from candle carried
by Mr.. Bonham's little girl. AS sooa
sthe alarm was given every body turned
out and in short time had the engine
at the mill tank, but there was delay
of some ten minutes then, on account Of
there icing no water in the cistern.
During this time almost all the furniture
and household goods were taken from
the burning building, and when the
water came it took but very little time
to get the fire under control. 1t was a
fortunate tn ing that there was no wind
blowing at the time, for with no water
in the tank the fire would have spread
very rapidly, and considerable more
damage been done; in fact the whole
town would have been in danger Of 60.
ing. The house is damaged to the tx
tent Of about $500, and Mr.. Bonham's
| SIS on his furniture, clothes, etc., is
about $500. There was no insurance
upon the builiing, or contents. a num.

the building. and had the effect Of some.

was in difficult place to get al and
therefore it wa impossible: TO squelch 1t.

Bonham ha d her hands burned little
in trying to get some clothes Out OF the
burning closet.

this remarkable fruit is raised is called
Owens Valley. The valley is one hum
dred miles long, by about fifteen wide.
1t is traversed by the Carson and Col
orado railroad. This region has hith
erto been very little known, but the
exhibition Of its resources made at our
State Fair has drawn attention to its
greatresources, and beyond all doubt
there will soon be rush of settlers in
that direction. There is land enough yet
open for settlement in Owens Valley to
give homes TO thousands OF settlers.
Owens river flows the entire length OF
the valley, and will afford plenty Of
water for irrigation. Not less gratifying
than the display of our material re.
sources at the Fair, was the evidence
seen among such large gathering OF
people Of our rapid advance in all the
elements of refinement. Sobriely,
cou rtesy, decency and order prevailed
everywhere. On being asked how
business had been during the Fair, the
manager OF leading hotel said: sour
house was filled to overlooking; so far
as our rooms and tables were concerned,
business wa, TOO good, we were offered
more than we could possibly accept;
but over the bar our receips were very
light indeed" Every lover Of sobriety
and decency will be pleased TO hear
this. a man who had been running a
dice shaking game dnring the Fair, wa.
asked how he had found business. He
looked very much Disguised, said the
people, were not what they used to be,
business was nearly ruined, and he
could hardly make living. We may
now reasonably hope for a time when

An Incident OF the War Recalled by Z
Destruction OF Gen CRAMPS Tower

AN AnCAUehb OF the w ar Recalled DS the
Destruction or Gen Grants Tower.
The tower near Fort Fisher used by
| Gen. Grant for observations of the move
ments OF the Confederates during the final
campaign Of the war, says the Washing
ton Star, was $50 feet high, one of the
tallest structures of the kind in use dur
ing the war. 1t was planned and built
under the direction of Mai. o. Z. Hine, of
the engineer corps of the Army of the
Potomac, a gentleman well known in this
city, now property owner just over the
river in Fairfax county, Va. The work
was done in the last winter OF the war
just previous to the final operations be-
fore Richmond aud Petersburg. The tower
was built and raised in sections with
every piece double and replsceable, in
tie event of its being carried away by
gun shot. Thousands of spectators were
attracted to the work, it being at that
time quite novelty in the way of en-
cheering, and 4 welcome item Of interest
TO break the weary mOnotony OF camp
life. On a warm, sunny afternoon IN
January, 1865, the uppermost sections
were hOlsted and swung into place with
ropes and tackle. More than the usual
number of lOOkers-on, many of them
ladies, were assem- bled on the vast plain
which surrounds the city of PETERSBURG.
At the top were a number of skilled
mechanics manipulating the ropes at the
direction Of Maj. Hine, standing on the
ground below. just as the heaviest piece
had attained the desired height and was
beng carefully swung into place, halt
drunken man was seen 80 ascend the
ladder hand-0ver-hand, and to mount one
OF the platforms. on which stood man
with the steadying rope, and endeavOr
to grapple him. The spectators stood
GREATNESS as they realized the
danger. A slip of the rope and the
huge mass of timbers would be preCipi-
taUed in the midst of the vast thrOng,
all depended on the man at the end OF the
rope, StalWart siX-fOoter, Helm by name
known to his comrades as Que of the most
determined men in his company. Only
an instant did the Major hesitate, and
then his voice Numbered cut: Throw
him off, Helm; throw him Offr' With a
quick motion, Helm wrapped his rope
about post and cliuched with his an
tagOnist. Only a moment did this wrest-
ling contest in mid-air continue, and
then cool, determined sense gained the
better of drunken frenzy, and Helm
threw his adversary over the edge down
the ladder beneath, Again tue spects-
tors were Mortified, expecting to See the
poor miserable drunkard dashed to
pieces; but that providence which is said
to protect drunken men seemed to inter-
fere now, for, slipping ana sliding down
the ladder, he dropped unframed, but
sObered, to the ground. Then, as It was
realized that the danger was past, ring
ing cheer went up for the brave fellow
whose GOODNESS and prompt obedience had
saved the tower and the lives of SO many
people.
