November 8th. the citi' tens of Eugene City Lave been treated to three Ore alarms. Last 8sturdy morning about niot o'clock the roof of the buildina vwuuicu uj vuaa. joiinsoti as a restaurant was discovered to be on lire. Au alarm was sounded, but a few buckets of wster speedily emnguisnea the Br. after it had burnt off Severn! yanla of shingles. The fire originated irom a Qciecuvs flue. Sundsy night, abu even o ciocit, a tire was discovered in the it Charles hotel betweeu the ceiling aud floor of the second Ktory. Creat exeitemeut i . . . . . . . ueu, ui lonunateiy the fire bad not gamed headway, aud it was soon exlinguised inis Ore also originated from a defective flue. Both have since been rebuilt Eithe of these fires would have laid a oonsiderabL part of our city i i ashes had it cained suffi cient heailway to preclude the ue of buckeU. it wouiu seem superfluous to again call attention of the Honorable City Council to Hie fact that this city has no protection what ever Irom the fiery elemeut. A mineral feeling of insecurity prevails amona those in business on Willamette street, which injuring the prosperity, and li iwering the value of the property thereon. No one cares about iuvestiug iu property or business on this street, when the accumulations, probably ol years, msy be swept away iu a few hours- borne relief is demanded. All aiiree that water works ou the Butte are desirable, and would secure a certain protection. But uo person or company seems w illing to com. mence the enterprise. The cost would fall but little below $13,000, and this, with' the cost ( operating aud keeping it in repair would preclude capitalists from investing 1 ne only feasible project is for the city to buy a good hand engine capable of throwing two streams. Our buildings are all low. and the brick buildings are so scattered as to form a break to the flames. Water can be obtained readily from inexhaustible natural cisterns which need not be over sixteen feet deep. With a good hand engine so old fire meu say, the flames could be confined to the building in which it originates or to the range of wooden buildings in which it tands. The cost of engine, hose, hose carts, and three more cisterns would not ex ceed $3,000. The city has already on hand a fire fund of nearly a thousand dollar, aud the remainder could be raised without any special effort. Cut down the salaries of some of your city officials if economy necessary, and expeud the money for something that will protect what you have already secured. The Honorable Council confesses its inability to take any steps to wards building a reservoir. It professes to desire to render tome benefit and protection to the property w ithin the city, yet singularly enough allows a scheme that is impracticable, because of want of funds, to engage its atteution, while what could be done is totally neglected. vVe have but one word farther for that body; that is, that a city election will be held next April, when a chance will be given to infuse some life into the almost defunct city government.

To tht Pullie; It affords me the highest gratification to say that a careful and thorough investigation of certain reports Injurious to the reputation ot the Hon. Robert Cochran and Mr. F. W Osburn, alleging a purpose aud attempt them to run off or induce the absence of prosecuting witness, iu a case some tim tried in the United States Court, in which sant Osburn was defendant, found these reports wholly uiisustaiued by the facta rnd untrue, aud that uothing uot fully comport iug with iutrgrity, honor, and the obligations of law, was involved iu the conduct of the gentlemen above named in regard to the witness referred to. The object of the gen tlemen iu leaving towu was not to, see the said tituess, but to obtain the naluralizaiion papers of the Iudian with whom he had for some time previously made his home, which they did on the advice of their attorney. The statements made by me iu public were based on information then regarded as re liable, but now found to have rested on an just inference and mistake. I trust that th. giatilicaiion it affords me tj make this ex planation will be shared by all the just aud f.nr minded lovers of peace and truth. My in'onnm ion. was first received fro.n Mr J E Attebery, our City Marshal, who slates his informant was the U 8 .Marshal H stated that Messrs Cochran rud Osburn bad gone after the prosecuting wiluess, an In dian boy, supposing him (o be at the "nat uralized" IudiauV The United States Mar shal hearing of it procured a team and started after them. Shortly after his de parture, Mr. Mi'.ler, whose father had raised the Indian boy, informed soma parties that the boy was at bis father's. Thuy then pro cured a horse aud started Mr Miller to in terotpt them. I D Dkivir, A. O. U. W. Mart led. , Editor Goard: Through the columns of your psper I desire iu a brief way to lay before the people of this vicinity a few of the objects of the organization kuown as the 'Ancient Order of United Woikmen." Its bjects are, First To embrace and give equal protec tion to all classes and kinds of labor, mouUl ami physical; to strive earnestly to inform the moral, intellectual, and social condition of its members; to endeavor by wholesome precepts, fraternal admonitions, aud substan tial aid, to inspire a due appreciation of the stern realities aud responsibilities of life. Second To create a fund f ir the benefit its members during sickness, or other disability, and in cue of death to pay a tipulatea sum to such person or persons as may be designated by each member, thus euubling him to guarantee his family against ant. Third The adoption of such secret work and means of rotoguition as will insure the protection of its members wherever the order may exist. While the order has adopted secret workt and its members are to a certain ex'ent ound together by fraternal bonds, yet it is nothing more or less than ai insurance com pany based on purely business principles. Eugene Lodge No. 13, A. 0. U. W., is gradually filling up with our best and most substantial citizens, aud all those desiring heap insurance will do well to consult its ecorder, II. M. Sloan. 0.
