The FIRE ENGINE ARRIvEp.-The nre
engine recently purchased in San Fran
cisco by Liberty Hose Company No. l,
Of Gold Hill, arrived about 5 o'clock
yesterday, and was duly housed in the
hall OF that Company, adjoining the

street. The machine was purchased Tor
the sum Of 81, 100, and is the old How
ard No. 8. of San Francisco, bearing
date Of organization 'June 10, $780,
therefore il will be seen that she is an
old settler. The squirting capacities OF
the old machine, however, are said to
be fearful, and as soon rs she is painted
and put in proper trim we shall e1pScs
to hear Of a challenge being sent to tho
best machine Of the Virginia Fire De-
partment to Measure stream with the
Howard.

A Loyal IDEA.-we understand thai
a subscription is started in Virginia Tor
the purpose of erecting a tall and hand
some flag staff on the summit of Mount
Davidson, from which the Stars and
Stripes shall float on the coming ami
yersary OF the Fourth Of July. we
presume no difficulty will be experienced
In raising the requisite amount Tor inc
purpose, and hope the staff will De a
GOOD substantial one and firmly set, SO
That IL will not blow over like its prede'
cessors.
