by the fire companies and by individuals
on the roofs of the houses: Some want OF
organization was evident, but, upon the
whole, the fire got under control with less
destruction of property than we ventured
to hope for on our first arrival on the
ground Whether it was owing to the high
wind, or whatever cause, the alarm spread
slowly and until the suction engines were
brought into play serious fears were en-
tertained, not only for the block of build
ings in which the fire begun, but for the
large row on the opposite square, toward
which the cinders were directed by the
wind.

A False Alarm.

Last evening there was false alarm
which called the engines out. There is a
penalty for false alarms which it becomes
the duty of the proper officer of the corpor-
alton to rigidly enforce"
Under date of February 10 the 1ntellf-
gencer has communication in which the
writer referring to the alarm for the big
fire having spread slowly, says the principal
cause was that the church bell was not
rung at all, and the omission was highly
culpable. The bell at the Franklin engine
house was rung necessarily. but owing to
the high wind, could not be heard over
three or four squares away. He suggests
that the keys of st. Johns and the Uni
tartan churches should be accessible in
case of fire.
Rev DR.. Laurie in card in the Intelli
gencer of February 49, returns his grateful
thanks for the efforts made to save his
property.
The Inteligencer of February 1S con-
tanned a card of thanks from j. Janney, in
which he says he had "the assurance of
being among his friends; but he has since
discovered that some in the crowd were
actuated by dishonorable motives for
some of his property has been taken off,
which he fears will not find it's way back.
He says he has not abandoned his stand, a s
has been reported.

Memorial to Congress.

In the Intelligencer of February 10 is
published the firemen's memorial to Con-
gress for the formation of a fire associat ton
and for exemption from military duty, with
the names of signers attached.
In the Inteligencer Of February % the
names of the officers of the Anacostia fire
company are given as follows: Edward
Clark. president; Jonathan Prout, vice
president: William Speiden, secretary; Mat
thew Wright, treasurer, and James Owens
director of engines
Perhaps the most interesting item Mr.
Peabody notes was a communicat ton in the
Intelligencer of March 3, headed Hydraulic
works The writer says: Il am happy to
hear that a plan for watering the city has
recently been offered to Congress by Mr..
George Cameron of this place. He pro-
poses to collect into a reservoir at the foot
of the hill, near the Capitol, all the pure
spring water which can well be obt aimed
and an additional quantity from the canal
to a reservoir placed by the other reservoir
the water to be raised by means of steam
into a reservoir sufficiently elevated to be
distributed to any part of the city or navy
yard.
