Anrnsta Fire Association.

This recently organized fire company had
their first public parade on Saturday evening
last. and attracted universal attention by their
handsome display. The exhibition was entire
" novel to many of our citizens, and produced
an intense excitement among the rising genera
ton. The company numbers some fifty or sixty
fine looking men who presented fine appear
ance in their appropriate and attractive uni
forms. The engine and reel have been repant-
ed, and otherwise repaired, bat the hose seems
TO be still in bad condition.
The energy and industry which have charac
terized the members of this company, give full
assurance of the good service they may be ex-
pected to perform in the future if properly en-
couraged by our citizens and the corporate au-
thorities. The fireman loves his "Masheen, y
and we should be pleased to see the company
furnished with first rate apparatus, in which
they might feel reasonable degree of PRIDE
We understand that our citizens have manifest
ed great deal of liberality in their contribu-
tious already, and we hope that before long the
company will be thoroughly and handsomely e.
quipped.
Upon the occasion of this the first parade, the
association was addressed appropriately BY Jno.

A SINGULAR CAsE-Nearly buried Alice.-A
letter from Cloves, Hamilton County, Ohio,
says:-"Wat. Eckman, wealthy citizen of this
place, was taken violently i'll on the morning of
the 10Th, and by having the prompt and kind
services of two erudite Escalapiuses, received
his 'quetus' about five o'clock the same day.
Next morning the defunct Eckman was kindly
slowed away in his coffin and iolted il mark
ct wagon to the Berea Church, q distance OF
two miles, where funeral sermon was preach
ed by the Rev. VIM. Lee. The solemn thing
was about concluded, the last hymn was read
and the choir was about to ''strike up," when
they were suddenly annoyed by discordant
and very unmusical sounds and kicks which
it seemed obvious were going ON inside the cof-
fin. You may possibly imagine there was some
CONSERVATION In that meeting house about that
time-well, there was nothing else for few
minutes. At least half of the congregation
broke for the door, and the balance were about
TO follow suit when the Rev. Mr.. Lee descend
ed from the pulpit, and in loud voice order
ed the coffin TO be speedily opened, which was
done, when it was found that Wat was not only
alive and kicking, but was struggling manfully
to free himself from his-to him-mysterious
confinement. The blood was flowing freely
from his nose and mouth, but in few min.
minutes he was able to speak. He was carried
to the house of Abraham Patterson, ESQ.,, about
two hundred yards from the church, and ply
sician sent for, who remained with him until the
next morning, when he was able to walk about
the room" philadelphia Erening Bulletin,
