With the advancing progress and the gexéral upward tendency of every thing in‘our city, the Fire Department is looking up, and the members have caught the infection of the times, and are bestirring themslves to perfect and build up the old organization. Scores of new and actve meinbers are joining the companies, coin is coming into their treasuries, and soon, as of yere, the fire fiend will have to be quick if he gets the best of the boys. A STEAM FIRE ENGINE Has been ordered from Seneca Falls, N. Y., for the Young America Fire Company, to cost, when delivered, about five thousand dollars. © She will be a third class, and the boys intend torun her by hand, as horses are hardly competent, with a volunteer fire department.

Scores of new and actve meinbers are joining the companies, coin is coming into their treasuries, and soon, as of yere, the fire fiend will have to be quick if he gets the best of the boys. A STEAM FIRE ENGINE Has been ordered from Seneca Falls, N. Y., for the Young America Fire Company, to cost, when delivered, about five thousand dollars. © She will be a third class, and the boys intend torun her by hand, as horses are hardly competent, with a volunteer fire department.
