The old ones have been fought under for many a
year, and though the 'sEaglen boys have been in
many hot place, no faltering was ever seen
amongst them, and the new ones will, in the time
to come, prove to have been equally honored. The
hand engines that combatted dire confagrations
served the purpose well in days gone by, but are
gradually, and naturally, giving away, before an
'onward and upward principle. illustrated in the
steam fire engine.

principle, have recently become possessed of a
new machine, which they brought out for trial on
Sunday. The engine was made By the Amos Keag

work were fully realized. This engine is, taken
