THE GREAT FIRE: OF 1808, The Story as Told by the Old Nevada Journal. The TRANSCRIPT has been privileged to make some extracts from an origins! copy of the Nevada Journal which was published at this city in early times. The paper bears the date of Friday» February 23, 1855. Among the interest + ~ing matter it contains isthe following,account of the great fire that occurred here that week: The losses by the conflagration on last Tuesday night on Broad stree‘ were as follows.

Total loss. . . The billiard saloon was just-finished at much expense, and a billiard table wor'h $800 was burnt. The Hotel de Paris was a good building, and there were $1,500 worth of provisions in it. The Virginia House had much mopey spent in improvements upon it: by the enterpr sing owner, and he lost heavily ia provis‘ons, The hospitals of Mrs. H idridge, Hillerscheidt and VonPoe!nitz were all new and handsome buildigs, furnished with costly furniture. Some estimates go greatly over ours as to these houses. Mr, Hoel vasa very heavy loser in his well-arranged stable, grain, hay, etc. One man lost $800 in cash. 2 The fire broke out in the Virginia ~ House, and was the work of an incen-. diary. The well-rope was cut. A man was arrested on suspicion, but was dis“charged for want of. proof. No lives were lost. The fire was confined to the district between the two Methodist churches, between which for several hour; rolled the flames of a literal hell. ‘Lhe flames were stayed by the most determined exertions. Some men worked like heroes, and there was a general disposition to work. Everything was done with method and dispatsh. The fire was kept rom crossing the stree and sweeping the town by men working ip a heat that scorched their clothes from their backs, and blistered their flesh wherever exposed. Men toiled on amidst falling timber, some bleeding from he contust ions, yet sticking manfully to the work. As fast as the m ners came iu from the outskirts they en-. tered the fight with true generosity and spirit. We name a few of those who came under our o! servation, as notably exerting themselves: Dexter W. Ridley, Frank Clevel nd, Mr. Johnson, Rev. Mr. Warren, O. P. Blackman, Mr. A!len, Dr. R. M. Hunt, 8. W. Fletcher, T. R. Blanton, W. P. Womack, James Harrison, J. Tucker, Isaac N. Dawley, Charles W. Mulford, &c. There were mauy others whose names do not occur to us, In behalf of ‘he community we return thanks fo the many who rescue i the town from a general conflagratio: There is far more real glory achieved in such a war against the elomen 3 than can be claimed by the blood-dye4d heroes of the battle field. Mr. Fletcher fell from the Methodis* church, south, othe ground, whiibusy at work, but sustained no serious injury by an accident that night have robbed the county of a zealous officer. Mr. Ridley was on the awning of the -New York hotel, which fell and precipitated bim to the ground, but little lamed. A falling house buried Messrs. Cleveland, Chas. Hall and several) others. They scratched out unhurt, aid began lugging off the pieces. The aspect of the fire at its height was truly grand and terrible. Vast waves of fire rolled over the scene, and seemed to break in glittering spra;, dashing !ar upward. The rapid progress of the flaz:es after the alarm is explained by the bursting of a can of camphene close to the spot of the outbreak. 7or Hawaii’s population has increased 25,C00 during the last two years, showing that annexation has had a favorable effect on its census returns, as it has on its general prosperity and social condition. ee So many Chinese officials are resigning that the Empress Dowager has or-j. dered the punishment of those who apply for leave without pressing necessity.

Coffee Acts on Some Peopls. “Being forced to give up coffee, I did it in a half-hearted way, drinking cocoa in-the morning, but soon became tired of that and longed for the real Java. “Finally I tried Postam Food Ooffee, and since that time have drank it to the exclusion of every other beverage. You can imagine I like it. “Last summer I was in a place where nothing but Java coffee was served on the breakfast table, and I re-commenced the use of it. “In two or three weeks I began to suffer from dizziness and explosive noises in my head. “One evening aiter walking about half a mile I became dizzy and could hardly get back home where I fell, exhausted, on the bed. -I knew what the trouble was, and insisted upon having Postum instead of the old fashioned coffee, and got well in short order. “T have always thought it worth while to warn the cook, wherever I happened to be, to make the Postum properly, ; that is, by boiling it long enough. i Please do not print my name.” . ‘This lady lives in Pasadena, Cal., and the pame will be given on application to the Postum Oo., at Battle Oreek, Mich.
