the future success Of the enterprise. He has

at the dinner given by the enterprisirg proprie-
tor of the Brady House on Monday last, to the
members of the Union Fire Company" Of

Clad in their handsome uniform-consisting
of black glazed cap, red jacket, black patent
leather belt, and white pants, they presented
quite sprightly military appearance---and as
they were celebrating the birthday of American
liberty, the spirit of "76" stirred within me-
! The decorous and manly bearing of the, men,
bers on the occasion, gives promise that this
private company, now an ornament--wili one
day become, an honor and blessing to our city.
The projectile power of their diminutlve En-
CINE, is truly astonishing; and reflects credit
upon the mechanical skill of Messrs. Bryan
and Newman, by whom the Engine was con.
structed.

and harmony-keep ever before you, as a princi-
