the amendment and then voted for it.
For months past he has been endea-

We deem it not at all improbable
that the Southern States may assent
to, even il they do not themselves
propose, the admission ofcolored men

terms of qualideation---such, for ey-

constitution of the State of New York.

A PLEASANT AND AGREEABLE AFFAIR.
On Saturday afternoon, in response to
an invitation, the members of the Uni
ted Hose Company and a majority of
the members the City Council, met at
the new hose house of the above named
company. The object of the President
of the Company in converting his men
and the "city dads" was to exhibit to
them the results of the efforts made in the
Sixth Ward to build up first class fire
company and fit up a suitable engine
house. After the guests had assem-
bled in the basement of the
building, orders We're given to
to the men to hitch up the horses. The
men Immediately sprang to their posts,
and in the remarkable short space of
thirty-five sec onds the horses were at
tached TO the steam engine and hose
carriage and ready for any emergency.
The feat was performed several times,
to the satisfaction and utter astonish-
ment of all present.
The new hose carriage, which was re-
Gently purchased in Baltimore, is n
splendid piece of me chanism, well cal
culated for the purpose for which it was
built. 1t is neat, light and substantial,
and is capable of carrying fifteen hun
bred feet of hose. The steam engine has
been seen by our citizens, and we need
not say anything about it, further than
to state that it is an excellent machine
in the hands of men in every way COM
petent to use it for the purpose for
which it was made, and to the
best interests of property holders
in the city. The new hose
house must he seen to be properly
appreciated. 1t is model engine
house, built with all modern improve
ments, and in every way adapted to the
use for which it was erected. In order
to afford our citizens an opportunity
of seeing and inspecting the building,
it will be kept open to-day, to- morrow
and Wednesday, from two to nine o'clock
p. m. and gentlemen will be in attend
ance to conduct visitors through.
On Saturday afternoon, after the Wis
itors had witnessed the highly credible
performances, and inspected the engine
house and machinery, they We're invit-
ed into the hall of the building, where
sumptuous feast had been prepared.
Speaking, toasting, eating and drinking
were INDUCED in freely, and the season
was one of mirth and pleasure. The
boys united in their efforts to
make their guests welcome and happy,
and they succeeded admirably. Presi-
dent VIM. IL. Harrison and his gallant
band of firemen will be long remember
cal by oil who were so fortunate as to
spend Saturday afternoon with them,
and by all who know them or hear of
their noble acts of valor and hospital
! ity.

end ishop spaulding were truly grand

end Bishop spanlding were truly grand
and imposing. The singing was exqui-
sitely beautiful, sweet and harmonious,
and rarely, if ever equaled. After the
interesting morning services were con-
cluded, the visitors were conducted
the institution. Everything was in
the highest state of neatness and regu-
larity. We noticed some very beauti-
full specimens of statuary situated in
different rarts of the building. The
rooms occupied by the pupils were large
and commodious.
In the afternoon an able sermon was
preached by the Right Reyered Bishop
Spaulding, Of Baltimore, and although
the Chapel is quite large, it was crowd
ed to its utmost capacity. After the
sermon, an opportunity was offered to
those who had not before done so, of
looking through the institution. This
being over, the visitors took their de-
parture highly gratified with their visit.

An UNFORTUNATE WRETCH.-Ay young
woman named Kate Smith, while COM
ing to this city on Friday night, by the
Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad, was
seized with fit when near Steuben-
Vile. She was kindly cared for by the
Conductor and number of ladies in
the car, and when the train reached
Bridgeport she was able to walk out of
the car. The girl appeared to be a
stranger in this city, and was placed in
charge of the conductor of the omni-
bus. She gave the name of lady on
Main street, and asked to be taken to
her residence. When the omnibus
reached the place designated, and the
inmates of the house had been aroused,
the woman declined going in, and ask
ell to be taken to the city lookup. The
members of the family who had been
awakened from their slumbers did not
know the stranger, and did not express
many good wishes in her behalf as she
left. Kate was taken TO the lookup,
and furnished with warm and comfort
able cell, where she slept soundly until
about eight o'clock Saturday morning.
She was then set at liberty, and as she
passed out of the prison she said she
would so out and get good and drink and
then return. About three o'clock Satur-
day afternoon Katdmade her appearance
near the M'Lure House corner in a
beastly state of intoxication, and as she
was noisy and turbulent' officer Brady
arrested her and placed her in the lock

IMposToRs.-On Friday evening two
boys aged about fifteen years, went
10 the residence of Street Commissioner
Clark, in Centre Wheeling, and repre-
scented To the wife of that
gentleman that they were in dcs-
titutc circumstances and Il starry
ing condition. Mrs. G. gave them .
hearty meal, but owing to their suSpi-
cious looks she declined furnishing
them with money. The boys left the
house, and called upon Mr.. Baggs, who
resides next door, to whom they repeat
ed their distress. The boys were
usherod into the house, and given seats
at table, where they were served up
a sumptuous meal. After the lads had
eaten, they were invited into the par
lor, and there they again rehearsed
their sad story. Mrs. Baggs left them
alone in the parlor, while she pre-
pared n substantial lunch to give them,
and during her absence the little
rogues opened portmonnaie, which
was lying on a table, and stole there
from about thirteen dollars. Mrs. b.
followed them to her door and babe
them kind alden, and the boys soon
made themselves scarce. Some time af-
ter their departure, Mrs. Bags discover
ed her loss, but was too late to give
the rogues pursuit, and they escaped
with their booty. These young scamps
are no doubt still lettering about the
city. We hope the police will use every
effort to arrest them and bring upon
them the punishment they SO richly
merit.
