Our fire company with their new engine
are beginning to win laurels already. They
were out again Wednesday evening, and
drew water through q feet suction hose
perpendicular hight OF nine feet and
played through $50 feet hose, throwing wa
ter over pole lao feet high, and the sur
face of the water drawn from the canal was
, some 80 feet lower than the foot of the pole
This for new company Of no experience,
, is certainly doing finely, and promises well
for the future. 1t is evident also, we have
an excellent engine which speaks well for
the committee, who have had the matter of
purchasing in charge.
| Young America evidently goes for Lin
coin. On our ride to old town the other
day, we observed flag at S. F, Albee's,
and another at Mr.. Evans, on both of
, which were neatly inscribed the names of
, Lincoln and Hsmln. All right, boys!
: Dr. Lorng and Col. fright IN Bello,os
FaHs.-On Monday night last DR.. Geo. B.
! Loring and Col. Wright of Massachusetts,
were stopping at the Island House, being
on their way to White River junction to
attend the breckenridge State Convention,
when our Band were got out and gave
them a serenade. Col. Wright and DR..
, Loring came out on the balcony and spoke
till after ten O'Clock. They are both good
speakers, and considering they spoke to
, crowd five TO one against them are GER
: tainly entitled TO credit in that respect
} The main drift of both speeches was
against Douglas Neither speaker was
! cheered from the beginning to the close of
his speech. Douglas democrats from Wal
! pole and this place were present, and cheer
( ed Justify for Douglas. Old Abe also came
J in for a share at the close. In fine, this was
: the first Breckenridge demonstration of the
5 season, and proved failure, and the Doug
las men throughout the town, very naturally
7 are chucklipg about il
We publish in another place the call for
a Douglas County Convention, as the
Douglas men have no organ of their own
in this County. Over $50 democrats of
$ this town have signed the call, but we can
g not publish their names for want of room.
4 Judge Redfeld goes for Breckenridge, of
course, his John Brown letter indicated
u that plain enough. They tried to have
him run for governor, but he prefers q
5 place on the beach of the U. S. Supreme
: Court.
The Breckenridge democracy of this
town are fat. A great reaction has taken
place within two weeks, and according to
the present canvass the Douglas men have
80 and Breckenridge only about 35-most
. of whom are in this village, and we hear
the question asked what has become of the
1900 Democrats" Of which the editor Of
!, the Argas boasted at Baltimore he bad al
> home, and would do exactly as he told
them.
