Three years ago more or less a fire}; company organized there and the city trustees equipped it with some secondhand hose and an old cart. A small building was; ut up in which to keep the outfit. The company at first had a large membérshipand much enthusiasm but the old-established Fire Department objected to recognizing it as a regular company. It therefore fell . quickly into a state of innocuous desuetude, and has ever since remained in that condition. When the alarm. was given Tuesday some of the old mem. ‘bers were among the firét persons on the scene. They got their hose out without loss of time, altuched to a hydrant andstretched it tothe burning} house. About that tithe time the regular companies arrived on the scene and took charge of the hose that helonged to the Piety. Hillers. One of tnrnedinto the attic of the building through a hole in the roof. Judge Walling, one of the Piety Hillers, protested against doing this on the ground that there was no fire above the ceiling and that_the only object to be accomplished wasto damage the building with the-water. The Foreman told the Judge that he was not running affiirs and not being a fireman had nosay. The Judge said he had ag much right as anybody to give orders and with this shot retired from active duty., All this has made the Piety Hill contingency mad clear through. They claim that the Department had no right to interfere with their hose, as they are not in any way under the authority of the Chief Engineer, and now they propose to be recognized as a regular company or go out of service altogether. They will. apply to the City Trustees for the desired recognition, and say ‘they expect to get it. it. A Successfal Practitioner. A visit to Prof, Frank’s headquartera on Main street will niore than repay any person with good eyesight, and it will prove doubly profitatle to those whose vision isin any way impaired. The Professor has everything that modern écience provides as aids.toexamining and _testing'the -eye—and—for disclosing: its anatomy and condition. Some of the most important. instru~ ments are cf his own invention. He also shows the completest line of artificial eyes to be found on the coast,and they are of the best quality, having been made in France by the most skilled artisans. “It is universally conceded that spectacles or ‘‘helps-to-read’”’ are among the greatest gifts bestowed by science upon mankind. Without them many people would be practically blind, and it is only when properly adjusted that they’ are of real benefi. In the adjustment of these. the Professor calls into use an extensive series of compound test: lenses with which invariably . correct results are arrived at. The lenses of his spectacles are composed of the best diamond rock crystal imported by him from Brazil. He has demonstrated by scores of cases in this county his eminent qualifications as an optician. One instance is the case of the Tran tracted by night work on a newspaper acase of chronic inflammation which Professor. by proper applications removed the-inflammation, and this treatment was followed by the adjustment of a specially prepared lense which enables the use of the eye in reading the finest of print and for any length of time without pain or inconvenience, ~ . 2, Express Via Marysville.

Say that you are beggars, ft. Onthe contray, it is niy candid andsoleman belief that most of you would sooner steal than beg. You known us well asI do that every sermon must have’ a text to begin with, and I cou.d not at the moment: hit ‘upon one that seemed to squint more directly at the subject on which I propose to edify you on the present occasion; and I believe moreover that it, will be found to be quite as upprupriate as the texts which purport to form the foundation of the serinons of my orother élergymen i in general. Some of you—very many of you— my. fellow sinners, now present, before you left the States" possessed ‘very’ little of the real rino @t afy one time, and were not altogéther insensible to the true valué ofadime. Well, you came to California because you tho’t saghey was much easier to come at here.than in the states; and so, it. is. hdme a fortune, and if you have not realized to the full extent your extravagant expectations, you have most ot you had much better luck than you deserved. Many of you who were never before in possession of one hundred dollars at any one time, have: since you arrived here handled money by the hundreds and by the thousands, and where’ isit? Gone!—spent unnecessarily, lavished, squandered ; lost at the gaming table! You had never been enough used to money to comYou had yet to learn that it would take unto itself wings and fiy away. . You getit soeasy here thatit appeared tu you of little worth, and. you scutterea it like dust; and here-you are grumbling and growling becyuse you are no better offfor coming to California. Well, it’s you own fault; Why in the namethe god of idletiesa, the demon of waste, and of bacchus to boot, haven’t you been more industrious onthe one hand, and more prudent and economicul.on the other. You had to work in the States 312 days to get ua living for the year of 365 days, and rather a mean living at tht; and here where youcan lay up froin three to tive dollurs per day, clear of.ull expenses, you spend half your time or more fooling away the rich surplus of your few duys of industry. I tell you, my hearers, it will not _-pay_hbere.in. California for» mun to spend his time in sucking his thumbs. It is true, I know, that a certain species of animulsis said to live.a part ot the year and grow fat with no othe: sustenance than what it gets by suck ing its paws. But then it must be rex inembered that this said avimal isin a state of partial torpor, and is stupitied without any addition to this chea}and simple diet, Now you, my hearers, Seldym get lower thun .a siate ot stupidity, a condition which for the most part, while it seems to paralyse all efforts for gaining or suving money, in no wise diminishes your appetiter for daiuty fare and other expensive superfluities and extravagancies. Aguin I repeat, you came to California, my unstable-minded hearers, to take a little fortune in the shortest possible-time—to work hard and live Cheap. “You valculated upon putting up with many privations—upon dispensing for a time with most of. the vomforts which.you had been accustomed to.

A large number of persons walked out from town onthe railroad track yesterday to witness the operations of the snow shovelers. Although gangs of men walked all through Monday , and the night following the railroad train which was blockaded at Buena Vista Station on Sunday night, had oaly reached near to the Summit by yesterday morning. . The difficulty of the—situation was caused ‘by the surface of the. snow freezing into a hard ernst, and as the snowplow-attached to the engine could make no headway against tiis owing to the depth of the-snow, there was no other way to onen the road except tu shovel away the snow by hand labor. This has been a slow and tedious process, anid although the Railroad. Company-has made every. effort possible, by sending gangs of .shovelers— out from town the work could not be accomplished as fart asdesired. Yesterday afternoon the track was cleared from Buena Vista toa point this side of Kress’ Summit; and it was also cleared fiom the depot as far as the sulpburets works, leaving the section between le&s tiian:two miles to clear, The difficulty of clearing can be better understood when it is known that the snow is frozen into ice on the top and sides and under the flange of the rails, and this must be removed before the engines can pass. There weré about 100 men engaged in shoveling snow on the track yesterday. ‘They were” paid at the rate of thirty cents an hour. Learning tw snowshoe.

If thereare any such it may afford them some satisfaction to know that a picture is so spoken of when it is hung on the level of the eyes of the spectator. They are said to be *‘skied’’ when they are placed so high that it is difficult for one standing upon the floor to comfortably bring them within the range of vision, and the meaning of this term many an artist is familiar with td his sorrow. It. will be readily understood that 4 picture placed either too high-or too low down upon the wall is seen at great. disadvantage, though perhaps is new and what there is old which } they ought to have. ¥ou bave something to sell; there ix somebody who needs it; connect that something with that somebody and there-is-a probability ofa trade; and the world over,the experience of every man_who has madea success in any line of business. or trade proves beyond a doubt that advertising is the only medium which will bring a pros pective buyer to the store when everything else fails to get him there. : Ifyou should have 500 pairs—of hands and the law wouldallow you to take a thousand men by the collars and in a Sullivanistic way. push them into your store to thump them until they say-they are willing-to buy what you have to sell, then and only then would udvertising lose its grip.

Though greatly reduced by famine and distress they still held out undauntedly. At length to add to their dismay it was found that the materials for making bow-strings, which constituted their weapons of defense, were exhaustel. They were upon the point of surrendering, finding ' themselves -entirety unarmed, when a patriotic damestepped forth and proposed to the brave-hearted women that they should cut offtheir beautiful hair and twist it into bow-strings. The proposition was no sooner made than complied with. The heroism of the wemen not only provided arms of defense, but so animated the courage of the bveieged by their gallant sacrifice that they renewed their warfare with such vigor that the as-ailants were beaten down and the city saved.

Three years ago more or less a fire}; company organized there and the city trustees equipped it with some secondhand hose and an old cart. A small building was; ut up in which to keep the outfit. The company at first had a large membérshipand much enthusiasm but the old-established Fire Department objected to recognizing it as a regular company.. It therefore fell . quickly into a state of innocuous desuetude, and has ever since remained in that condition. When the alarm. was given Tuesday some of the old mem. ‘bers were among the firét persons on the scene. They got their hose out without loss of time, altuched to a hydrant andstretched it tothe burning} house.. About that tithe time the regular companies arrived on the scene and took charge of the hose that helonged to the Piety. Hillers. One of tnrnedinto the attic of the building through a hole in the roof. Judge Walling, one of the Piety Hillers, protested against doing this on the ground that there was no fire above the ceiling and that_the only object to be accomplished wasto damage the building with the-water. The Foreman told the Judge that he was not running affiirs and not being a fireman had nosay. The Judge said he had ag much right as anybody to give orders and with this shot retired from active duty., All this has made the Piety Hill contingency mad clear through. They claim that the Department had no right to interfere with their hose, as they are not in any way under the authority of the Chief Engineer, and now they propose to be recognized as a regular company or go out of service altogether. They will. apply to the City Trustees for the desired recognition, and say ‘they expect to get it. it. A Successfal Practitioner. A visit to Prof, Frank’s headquartera on Main street will niore than repay any person with good eyesight, and it will prove doubly profitatle to those whose vision isin any way impaired. The Professor has everything that modern écience provides as aids.toexamining and _testing'the -eye—and—for disclosing: its anatomy and condition. Some of the most important. instru~ ments are cf his own invention. He also shows the completest line of artificial eyes to be found on the coast,and they are of the best quality, having been made in France by the most skilled artisans. “It is universally conceded that spectacles or ‘‘helps-to-read’”’ are among the greatest gifts bestowed by science upon mankind. Without them many people would be practically blind, and it is only when properly adjusted that they’ are of real benefi. In the adjustment of these. the Professor calls into use an extensive series of compound test: lenses with which invariably . correct results are arrived at. The lenses of his spectacles are composed of the best diamond rock crystal imported by him from Brazil. He has demonstrated by scores of cases in this county his eminent qualifications as an optician. One instance is the case of the Tran tracted by night work on a newspaper acase of chronic inflammation which Professor. by proper applications removed the-inflammation, and this treatment was followed by the adjustment of a specially prepared lense which enables the use of the eye in reading the finest of print and for any length of time without pain or inconvenience, ~ . 2, Express Via Marysville.

You known us well asI do that every sermon must have’ a text to begin with, and I cou.d not at the moment: hit ‘upon one that seemed to squint more directly at the subject on which I propose to edify you on the present occasion; and I believe moreover that it, will be found to be quite as upprupriate as the texts which purport to form the foundation of the serinons of my orother élergymen i in general. Some of you—very many of you— my. fellow sinners, now present, before you left the States" possessed ‘very’ little of the real rino @t afy one time, and were not altogéther insensible to the true valué ofadime. Well, you came to California because you tho’t saghey was much easier to come at here.than in the states; and so, it. is. hdme a fortune, and if you have not realized to the full extent your extravagant expectations, you have most ot you had much better luck than you deserved. Many of you who were never before in possession of one hundred dollars at any one time, have: since you arrived here handled money by the hundreds and by the thousands, and where’ isit? Gone!—spent unnecessarily, lavished, squandered ; lost at the gaming table! You had never been enough used to money to comYou had yet to learn that it would take unto itself wings and fiy away. . You getit soeasy here thatit appeared tu you of little worth, and. you scutterea it like dust; and here-you are grumbling and growling becyuse you are no better offfor coming to California. Well, it’s you own fault; Why in the namethe god of idletiesa, the demon of waste, and of bacchus to boot, haven’t you been more industrious onthe one hand, and more prudent and economicul.on the other. You had to work in the States 312 days to get ua living for the year of 365 days, and rather a mean living at tht; and here where youcan lay up froin three to tive dollurs per day, clear of.ull expenses, you spend half your time or more fooling away the rich surplus of your few duys of industry. I tell you, my hearers, it will not _-pay_hbere.in. California for» mun to spend his time in sucking his thumbs. It is true, I know, that a certain species of animulsis said to live.a part ot the year and grow fat with no othe: sustenance than what it gets by suck ing its paws. But then it must be rex inembered that this said avimal isin a state of partial torpor, and is stupitied without any addition to this chea}and simple diet, Now you, my hearers, Seldym get lower thun .a siate ot stupidity, a condition which for the most part, while it seems to paralyse all efforts for gaining or suving money, in no wise diminishes your appetiter for daiuty fare and other expensive superfluities and extravagancies. Aguin I repeat, you came to California, my unstable-minded hearers, to take a little fortune in the shortest possible-time—to work hard and live Cheap. “You valculated upon putting up with many privations—upon dispensing for a time with most of. the vomforts which.you had been accustomed to.

Although gangs of men walked all through Monday , and the night following the railroad train which was blockaded at Buena Vista Station on Sunday night, had oaly reached near to the Summit by yesterday morning. . The difficulty of the—situation was caused ‘by the surface of the. snow freezing into a hard ernst, and as the snowplow-attached to the engine could make no headway against tiis owing to the depth of the-snow, there was no other way to onen the road except tu shovel away the snow by hand labor. This has been a slow and tedious process, anid although the Railroad. Company-has made every. effort possible, by sending gangs of .shovelers— out from town the work could not be accomplished as fart asdesired. Yesterday afternoon the track was cleared from Buena Vista toa point this side of Kress’ Summit; and it was also cleared fiom the depot as far as the sulpburets works, leaving the section between le&s tiian:two miles to clear, The difficulty of clearing can be better understood when it is known that the snow is frozen into ice on the top and sides and under the flange of the rails, and this must be removed before the engines can pass.

If thereare any such it may afford them some satisfaction to know that a picture is so spoken of when it is hung on the level of the eyes of the spectator. They are said to be *‘skied’’ when they are placed so high that it is difficult for one standing upon the floor to comfortably bring them within the range of vision, and the meaning of this term many an artist is familiar with td his sorrow. It. will be readily understood that 4 picture placed either too high-or too low down upon the wall is seen at great. disadvantage, though perhaps is new and what there is old which } they ought to have. ¥ou bave something to sell; there ix somebody who needs it; connect that something with that somebody and there-is-a probability ofa trade; and the world over,the experience of every man_who has madea success in any line of business. or trade proves beyond a doubt that advertising is the only medium which will bring a pros pective buyer to the store when everything else fails to get him there. : Ifyou should have 500 pairs—of hands and the law wouldallow you to take a thousand men by the collars and in a Sullivanistic way. push them into your store to thump them until they say-they are willing-to buy what you have to sell, then and only then would udvertising lose its grip.

They were upon the point of surrendering, finding ' themselves -entirety unarmed, when a patriotic damestepped forth and proposed to the brave-hearted women that they should cut offtheir beautiful hair and twist it into bow-strings.
