STEAM FIRE ENGINE.-We saw yesterday,
at Winn's machine shop on Union Street, the
handsomest steam fire engine that has ever
cen manufactured in this city. 1t is second
class engine, of Johnson's new design, and was
bu lit for Montgomery Engine Co.., No. 1, of
NOrristown, Pennsylvania, and it is expected
1T will be exhibited at the great parade of en-
gmes in Philadelphia next week. t111Is
The workmanship on this machine is elab-
,1rate and beautiful. The machine weighs
abNout 1000 pounds. In this patent Mr. John
son has introduced some new and valuable
inn movements, which simplify the working
power, and reduces the weight aud by which
they can be built at a less price than formerly.
While we were examining the machine a
committee, from Lewiston, was also engaged
in viewing it; and they were ready to contract
for one, provided they could have it in a shor
