Destructive Conflagration, — Eastern cities are subject to conflagrations which sweep everything before them and destroy millions of dollars worth of -property before they can be stayed. The beautiful town of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is the ———“qast sulferer, On Wednesday, “a fire} broke out and all the business portion of the town was destroyed, All the newspaper offices, ali the hotels put one, all the banks, the opera house, the post-office, the Universalist Church, all the dy goods stores “on the north side, and in fact nearly all the busitiess portion of the town was swept clean. The city contains about 20,000 inhabitants. The fire occurred on the principal business street and must have extended over. an area of more than a mile and a he buildings ‘on the street were principally of bri¢k, although there were‘ many-wooden-ones—fit—only-to“kindle the. flames, The Opera House was a large stone structure. ‘The fite department consisted a few years age, of two steam and two hand ‘engines, with o1ie} or ‘two hook and ladder companies. Tho Wolf River divides the town, and water for fire purpeses in the vicinity is obtained from it. In other parts of the town under. ground reservoirs are constructed, in ~ which water is stored for use at fires. The fire department was a very eflicient one and. had heretofore been able to coitro} any fire that has been kindled. Oshkosh had facilities for protection equal te most cities; yet the fire fiend swept the town, un, checked, ‘[hisis only another instance showing the necessity of improved means of extinguishing fires. Chicago and Boston have wealth enough te—qdopt any scheme.that ‘ ‘will secure indemnity from. fire, yet they have been destroyed, The only safe course for cities to pursue, is % ‘to allow none but fire-proot buildings . to be erected, aud if any others are standing, to have them replaced by those that will resist that destructive element. The public good demands that he. who owns property which endangers the safety of others, shall “pe Gompelled to tear it down and build anew or dispose of -it to those whe will. Every city and town have their rookeries er tinder. boxes that “are fit only for food for. the flames, and itis generally in such structures that fires originate.

The city swarms with people whose only occupation is walking streets-and asking foremenfor otk. in the mives. You must remember that, while from three to five thouand ménare. employed ‘under. ground, there are four times that number who can not find employment, and the labor market is glutted. “Only just so many can work at atimeon any level,’ and to get o any shift somebody has to be displaced. . Just fancy one or two thousand dead broke emigrants rushing into Nevada City. ‘True if there was water they might go into. the bills, but’ they can’t even do that here. I sineerely triist tuey will do well, ‘but how.they are to set about it is not a question of my asking.” E COMSTOCK, The richest Vein of silver in thie world, is in part controlled by a monopoly, the ‘most selfish, unscrupnuJous-and-tirean that ever oxi ted, and . all that saves our people from its tyranny is the grand organization of the Miners’ Wnion, that, Richelieu} of . After reading the fellowing from +ike,-draws the magic circle around 1s" the rights of labor and holds the sword of Democles above the Heads of auy who would dare intrude. There is trouble brewing in this camp, aud a slight breeze will fan to aflame the smouldering embers of excitement that pervades the community. The owners of the big boDanza, not content: with their millions taken from these mines, huve perfected patents to’ portions of the city, and have notified people to remove their humes—men who for years have lived and reared their families on what they had supposed was theirs. Woe betide the lordly, millionaire who orders his hirelings to tear down,a single shingle from any roof in this city; he would be hung in an hour: fhis saws gang’ of monopolitts own the water. we drink, and they have taised -the/ rates to an exorbitaut figure. They blinded of bullied the Republican members of the Board of Aldermen . to grant them pay for water for fire purposes, They purpose to go further in their extortions, and threaten to shut the water off from the city in case their demands are not acceeded te, O, fora Joe Goodman’to tell them in print, as he did before, we will have our‘rights or up you go. This is public sentiment at this‘moment, Through the exertions of that immaculate Statesman, Bill . Stewart, this city failed to get a patent from the Government for its plot. ‘Taking advantage of this fact the Comstock Company are fencing in-and claiming the whole country east of their works and are hirirg murderers with shot guns to protect their interests, so, take itall in all the future of this city is full of interest to somebody. 5 THK CITY ELECTION, Coming off next week, awakens a deal of interest; and the signs of the times point to a Democratic victory, thiii four thodSuad votes registered, but the water company and nionopoly excite considerable vim in the liule crowd of voters. The Democrats are strong in their denuneiations of monopoly, while’the Kepublicans are dumb as oysters. THE FIFTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY with enthusiasm to-day. ‘The poem was written by C. C.

The ore has paid all the way process, and without estimating the sulphurets. The average of all. the ore worked has been something over $20 a ton. The ledge averages over two feet in thickness, nd has* been tested to the depth of 97 feet, A detter from J. G. Worthington, received yesterday from the Buckingham mine states that the rock is im: proving rapidly in the shaft,showing free gold(a thing that has seldom been seen in the rock that has been worked) and plenty of su!phurets. The mine only needs a mill on it to prove ® success. ‘This thing of hauling quartz from ten to fifteen miles is not economy. The owners are men to arrange for a mill.
