i , demonstrated their utility in pulling down sevya a Democrat. LOCAL MATTERS, _ Fing.—The effectiveness of the Fire Department of Nevada, was put to the test on yesterday morning. A fire broke out inthe residence of Mr. Jas. Irwin on Deer Creek, between Broatl and Spring streets, in the rear of Withington’s paint shop, at 8 o'clock, a. M., and the slarm being sounded the Department turned out with all the promptitude of old firemen. The Hook and Ladder company was first upon the ground quickly followed by Pennsylvania No. 2, who took the hydrant on Broad street, opposite Helm’s stable, and No. 1 taking the hydrant on Main street near the bridge. No, 2 got a splendid stream on, which deadened the dames at the first dash ; and with the assistance of No. 1, kept the fire in check and prevented it from spreading to the combustible buildings which surrounded it on all sides. The Hooks eral out-buildings on a line with the fire. Ina very short time after the alarm was given the tire was under subjection, and our citizens have to thank the Fire Department for the safety of their city to-day. As the fire progressed the wind set in from the south-east, towards Helm’s and Lancaster’s stables, and without the Department and the water, the doom of the city would have been inevitable. An old San Francisco fireman who was present and assisted at she fire, informed us that our firemen worked nobly as could have beenexpected. At the out. set of the fire the hose of No. 1 burst, but that defect was quickly remedied. The watch and aome money belonging to Mr. Irwin, which was placed under a carpet for safety by his wife, was recovered without loss or damage. This was the first fire of any moment the Department have had to contend with since their orgariization ; and their Chief, Fisher, and Assistant, Williams, were not found wanting in ability and judgment. GrRaND LAaRcENY.—A warrant was issued on the 19th inst., by the County Judge, on the affidavit of M. T. Farmer, for the arrest of Dr. ¥. Hiller, J. Nelson, B. Brockmeyer, A. Fifer, John Holtsclaugh, and Albert Hillerscheidt, charged with grand larceny, in cleaning up the tluice-boxes, and carrying off the gold, in the taims of the Virginia Co., near Humbug. The defendants, with the exception of Brockmeyer, were arrested and examined before Judge Bel. september next. den this forenoon. From the evidence, it ap. pears that the claims are owned by the defendants, but the diggings, together with the gold and amalgam in the boxes, were attached on Saturday last by the Sheriff, on an execution against Hiller. Constable Bickford was placed in charge, and during the afternoon the defendants cleaned up some of the lower boxes, taking therefrom about five dollars. In the evening, however, while the Constable was absent, the remaining boxes were cleaned up, and the next day Dr. Hiller sold three hundred dollars worth of gold, which was supposed to have been taken from the diggings. The Court held Dr. Hiller and A. Fifer to bail in the sum of $500 each, to answer tothe charge of larceny, they veing the onty ones of the defendants whom it was shown kad notice of the levy, and took part in cleaning up the boxes. Marin Street PiaNk1No.—The Transcript ef this morning favers the community with another essay on the subject of re-planking lower Main strect. It announces that the bridge has already been re-planked ; that Marshal Gregory is now superintending the replanking of the street; gratuitously intimates that the Board of Trustees are disposed to ignore the fact that there is such a place as lower Main street, but says the forsaken locality will be repaired without any appeal to that municipal body. We venture that there will be an appeal to the Trustees, as soon as the Marshal can corral a quorum, to pay for repairing the bridge, a portion of the cost of which will have to be paid by the Piety Hill folks; and as to the repair of the street, it is no more a hardship for the property holders to do it voluntarily, shan to do it under a compulsory ordinance. seen gg amines Te ane . Wasnor Stace Line.-Messrs. J. K. Sale & Co. have established a line of stages between this place and Virginia City, via the Henness Pass. On and after Monday next, the 26th inst. stages will leave each place every Monday and Thursday morning. The fare has been fixed at twenty dollars. This is what we have needed for a tong time, and now that the road is completed, we trust it will be kept open and the stages kept running from this time on, and from the well-known energy of the proprietors we have no doubt that everything in their power will be done to accomplish this result, The travel at present is sufficient to sustain a semiweekly line, and we have no doubt that in a few weeks they will be compelled to start daily in order to accommodate those going to and returning from Silverdom. SPEAKING aT Rep DoG.—We have received anote from Mr. Hawley, who is now in Eureka township, stating that he will address the citizens at Red Dog next Saturday evening, on the political issues of the day. Messrs. Caldwell and Dunn are already announced to speak at Red Dog on the same evening. FeMaLk Secessionists iN WasuIncton.— The Caarleston Mercury, of a late date, contains the following paragraph : The women in Wasbiugton, it is said, are almost ail Secessiouists, and ia private circles among the permanent residents of Washingtou and Georgetown, hatred to the existing government and sympathy with Jeff Davis are treely expressed feelings. The wife of a well known Senator, though uot the representative of a Slave or Secessiou State, makes her house the rendezvous of rebels. OL CEREAL NET LOTR O TN TEN TERRIER Special Notices.
