WE WERE exceedingly well pleased, last even
ing to find Major John s. Tuly, the accomplished
and energetic president of the Seymour Knights,
again ct his post after serious illness which had
confined him to his room for nearly fortnight.
The major and his fearless Knights are sanguine
as ever for the success of the Democratic candi.

FIRE ExTINGUIsHER.-Notice was published in
Yesterdays papers that at 230 P. NJ. would be
given public trial of the practical efficiency of
new patent portable FIRE extnguisher. Accord
ingly about the hour named quite o crowd assem-
bled on the levee foot OF Canal street, just at the
side of the iron building, the place designated for
the experiment, to see the promised exhibition.
In the crowd we're some of our most prominent
citizens, men whose names have long been con-
nected with our best insurance companies, who
wished to witness the workings of this machine,
whose use, it is said, will put down rates OF insu'
rance.
The materials prepared to experiment upon were
large pile of shavings well sDrnkled with coal
tar and a small shanty built of pine wood, filed
with shsvings and with its sides literally bespat-
tered with the tar. About three O'Clock, Mr..
Brown, the agent for the machine for this State,
put match 10 the shayings and, singing the ex-
tinguisher upon bis back. opened the COCK, and
| stream of fluid resembling water, poured out of
| the nozzle of piece Of hose, about yard long,
which was connected with the extinguisher. In
few moments the fire was gotten pretty well under,
and fea moments more sufficed TO extinguish il,
/ as well as pile of burning shavings can be ex-
| tiueuished. Me-. Brown then set the building on
FIRE, let 1t blaze up well, and then in ten minutes
| put it completely out.
The whole experiment was a complete success
/ and TO our mind demonstrates the usefulness OF
the instrument employed. The Imachine is
simply short iron cylinder, about foot in dia-
meter and say three feet long. Into this ara put
/ certain chemicals and water; the union of the
chemicals generates gas, by the presence of which,
on the same principle as q soda fountain works,

mated so as to make it an instant extinguisher of
any fame on which il may be thrown; The whole

water, more than rs pounds, may be used by
almost any person. Mr.. Brown has numerous tes-
timonias of the practical worth of this machine,
in instances where its has put out in their in
cipiency fires which had they not been thus avert
| ed would have increased to conhagrations. From
| what we saw we should say that the extinguisher

ton which is entitled to rank with the useful pro-

/ corted from the Mechanics Institute to the boat

number of officers stationed here, and ex oilcers
