Small Hand Engines.

For sometime after the destructive fire
last Spring which destroyed the May block,
a united effort vas made by the young
men of this city to procure means sufficient
from the property owners to purchase
fire engine. A good company, with Gen.
George Gordon as Captain, and other Of
fcers, was organized and ready for action,
if the citizens had seen proper to subscribe
about one thousand dollars for the purchase
of an engine. We urged it upon them then
with all the force we were capable of. We,
and perhaps they, are now sorry that our
suggestions were not acted upon. AS is
acknowledged by all, an expenditure of
thousand dollars then. would, doubtless,
have been the means of saving over hun
dred thousand dollars worth of property on
the morning of the Esd.
But that is past, and it is now too late to
correct the mistake, and we will not again
attempt to revive the subject. We wish
now to urge upon our citizens the great
necessity of every house holder, keeping
upon his premises and ready for use, a
small hand engine, by the use of which a
vast amount of property might be saved
from destruction by FIRE. Take the fire on
last Thursday morning for example. If one
of these engines had been convenient when
the fire was discovered, it could have been
stopped in a few minutes, and even if it
had been allowed to consume the building
in which it originated, its spread could
have been very easily prevented by the
| use of one of these engines.
A writer in the Scientific American,
makes an able plea for the use of small hand
engines, in every place, in addition to the
! large steam fire engines now becoming so
common. He says that cast-iron pump.
which will weigh no more than forty pounds
and can be set in a water pail, with six feet
of hose, aud three eighth inch pipe, and
would Cost not more than ten or twenty
dollars, would preserve many town from
severe fires. These little handy things,
being owned by householders generally,

We are informed that Messrs. A. Cox

on the old Jail corner, and one adjoining
the bank building.
