engine for the city is now occupying the atten-

sneaI WINE 10 inquire into the Ell cheney OF
10 steam engines. We see that the Assistance
Engine Company, Of Philadelphia, have con
lIacIed with HIM in that city to alter their
eltner by hand or steam power, a. occasion NAV
require. The apparatus will consist OF a steam
Inc and boiler, placed on a tender, which
VIII accompany the engine, and which will
communicate steam to the d re eng inc, by means
OF a gutta perch pipe. The cost OF this chanpe.
IL Is expected, will amount to 50, eco.
