It is only a square from the bridge. In going to the file Wednesday Mr. John T. Buckley's force, whoaienow the hook and ladder company, took his horse and delivery wanon, hitched the ladder truck to the wagon and made good time to the scene of conflagration. This was a pretty good idea, and we do not see why the city cannot provide a horse to be used in hauling the truck nil the time.

It will ccst but a little more to keep an extra horse, and it is very necessary that the ladders should be on hand as soon as the hose. A gentleman from a city of eight thousand inhabitants in Louisiana, wns in the city a few days since, and took occasion to visit our Gas Works.
