iKennska Firemens, Review.

y The Grand Review of the Firemen, in thl'
Getty, on Thursday of last week, was doubt
3less the best exhibition of the kind ever VIII
messed here. Several strangers were here
kfrom abroad. who have had connection with
Fire departments, and who were compel
TENT to judge, pronounced the discipline OF our
kfremen, and the well ordered arrangements
Eof the several branches of this department,
unsurpassed by any other fire department IN
kthe west. The engines were in admirable
working order, and the exhibition of their
gpower was altogether satisfactory.
4 tits matter of congratulation, that many
Zof our best citizens have evinced their inter
4est in the fire department by falling into the
Franks, and becoming working members.
3The efficiency of our fire department, as at
2present organized, may well inspire our citl-
fzens with confidence, that in the event OF a
zvisitation by fire every thing that can reason
SabIy be expected, in arresting such calamity,
Swill be promptly and faithfully done. The
Fact of so complete and effective an organiza-
Etion, should also give confidence to insurance
agencies, and induce the most favorable rates
s of insurance.
