STEAM FIRE ENGINEs.--The extraordinary
fire engines, the machine patented and manu-
featured by the Amoskeag Company of Man
chester, n. H., is attracting universal atten-
tion 1t has been stated that an invitation has
been extended by our city authorities to the
patentee to exhibit one of these machines in
this city tomorrow Tuesday,. An engine
just completed for the town of Fall River,
which will reach Worcester on that day, will
remain here long enough to afford our citizens
an opportunity of testing its powers. The ma
chine is said to be able TO throw as much wa
ter within given time as any machine yet
built, costs less than half the price of others,
and weighs, loaded and ready for work, only
$500 pounds. A pair of horses will draw it
easily over any ordinary road, and owing to
the peculiar construction of its boiler, it is ca.
pable of throwing a full stream upon fire six
minutes after its fire is lighted. Its construc-
ton is said to be very simple, and not costly
liable to damage. 1t can be turned anywhere
within space equaling its own length, and is
in all respects the most practical and easily
managed machine of its kind. The impor-
lance of such an auxiliary TO our means of eX.
tinguishing fires cannot be over-rated, and we
trust that those of our citizens who are best
qualified to Judge in these matters will give to
the trial of this machine their most careful at
tention.

The MORNING PRAYER MEETING.-The
second anniversary of the daily prayer meet
ing was held Saturday morning, and though
not very fully attended, was meeting of great
interest. Touching "reminiscences of the de-
parted were mingled with animating views of
the progress which rSligion had made iii our
own land, in Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Swe-
den, and other parts of the world, since the
commencement Of these daily meetings. One
feeling pervaded all minds as to their continu-
ance, but it was deemed expedient to change
the time to o'clock, P. M, and thereby meet
the convenience and secure the attendance of
larger numbers-7ranscript.

Early Saturday morning last, man living in
Putnam, Ct, whose name we did not learn,
was the victim of murderous assault, com.
mitted under the following circumstances :
He lived about two miles distant, and started
upon business for the village, about i've o'clock
that morning While crossing the bridge over
the Quinebaug river he was met by a stranger
who demanded his money. The gentleman
refused, when his assaiant drew pistol and
shot him. AS he fell to the ground his pock-
cts were rifed, and the offender escaped. The
gentleman had recently purchased the place
upon which he lived, and was known to have
received $500 for payment upon it, which it
was supposed he had upon his person. He

speak above whisper, and was not expected

DO! The Poor INDIAN."--Mr John Rec
son, Indian Agent from Oregon, lectured at
Rev. Dr. Hills church, last evening" on the
condition the Indian tribes and their claims
to protection He gave detailed description
of the general tribes along the western frontiers
representing that they were an oppressed race,
and that our government was guilty of great
injustice in its treatment of them. The best
way of preventing the Indian incursions, of
which we have heard so much, was for the
government to treat them as brothers, rather
than as oppressors. They could not be exter-
minated by violence. The lecturer presented
the claims of the "mouth-picce of the Indians"
a monthly publication intended to advocate
their interests and their claims to consideration
and solicited subscriptions for its support.
