New Fire Engine.

Mr. VIM Vorys, Chief of the City
Fire Department, has returned from a
trip to Harrisburg, Pa, where he ef.
fected, under the authority of the
Council of this city, the purchase of a
magnificent fire engine, designed for
the use of the "Young America fire
company. The engine has been in
use few years by an independent cit.
izens' company of Harrisburg, who,
having adopted the steam system and
purchased new steam fire engine,
were induced to part with their former
machine on terms very favorable to
our city. The thorough tests it has
received at the hands of this company
have proved it to be one of the most re-
liable and efficient hand power ma
chimes in use anywhere in the United
States. 1t is as We learn from Mr..
Yorys, side brake engine, OF the ccle-
brated Button manufacture, capable of
being manned by "a to 60 men, and of
throwing from one to five effective
streams of water at the same time. -
The original cost OF the machine to the
Harrisburg company was So 300 1t is
still in unimpaired condition, and will
cost our city, delivered here, between
81 100 and $1,000. lis arrival was OK
pected yesterday, and our citizens will
doubtless before many days have an
opportunity of witnessing its perform
anoe in the hands of its new posses.
sors.
The City Council is entitled to great
credit for its promptness in ordering
so useful purchase-and to Mr.. Vorys
should be awarded equal praise for the
skill and economy with which he car
ried the order into effect.

NEW COURT house.

We have not been furnished with
the proceedings Of the meeting of the
members Of the Bar Of this city re.
Gently held to take into consideration
the subject OF Court House accommo.
dations but we learn that il was re.
commended that the old structure be
abandoned, torn down, and the mate.
rials disposed of to the best advantage.
1t was further suggested BY the meet
ing, that the missionors memori-
aIize the Legislature for special act
permitting them to use the surplus
county funds (said to amount to $780,.
0OO), and to levy taxes for building a
new Court House, not TO exceed, in.
cIuding said surplus, the sum of $780,
600, or $4,000 in any one year, for
that purpose.
The old Court House has done duty
for'two generations, and is certainly o
long way behind the times and the
wants of the county in its present
stage of advancement in population
and wealth, and in the magnitude of
the mass of business transacted in her
courts. A new Court House is un-
doubt, dy greatly to be desired
whether one should be erected of the
cost suggested in the proceedings re-
ierred to ought, as We think, to be a
matter for the people to determine.

The Butter Trade Of Perry Comfy

to the subject named above. II gives
the history Of the butter trade of Fer

some twelve years ago, to its present
quite imposing dimensions. Its first
considerable impulse appears to have
been given by Mr.. Nonrse, OF Far
field county, who (says the Weekly
"commcnced visiting parts OF Perry
county and offered inducements tor the
manufacture of an extra article OF
butter. A few years later, Gibbs d
McIver Established themselves at New
Lexington and commenced paying
cash for good butter, turning Oft what
