The officers and members of the HOPE FIRE EN-.
CINE COMPANY would RESPECTFULLY inform the
citizens Of Charleston that their present hand en-
Qine is very much out Of repair and will require
large outlay of money to put 1t in good working
condition They feel satisfied that 1t would be use
less expenditure Of money to repair hand engine at
this time. especially when steam takes precedence
over that which requires manual labor. The engine
now in use has been in active service for over
twelve years.
In consideration Of the above stated facts, the
have resolved to purchase substantial steamer
located in one OF the largest and wealhiest wards Of
the city, Ward No. They feel confident that the
services Of such a steamer would be much more re.
qusite than hand engine in times Of copfagraton,
and for tn purpose they have concluded to appeal
to our citizens for aid to carry out their plans. 1t
has been long tiue since this company has called
upon the public for assistance, from the very fact
that at the time they procured the present engine,
more than one.bslf the amount was taken from its
treasury to make the purchase.
1he following Committee have been appointed to
canvass the various Wards OF the city to solicit SUBJ
scriptions from such Of our citizens q. appreciate
the services Of men who risk their lives In attempt
ing to save property without receiving any personal
benefit wh1tever, save the satisfaction Of knowing
that they are employed in doing good for their fellow

TRAVELLING SroNEs--Tbey have walk
ing stones in Australia, and, as VIC are in
formed, they have travelling stones in Nc
vada. Here is description:
They arc almost perfectly round, the
majority of them as large as walnut,
and of an irony nature. Whom distribu-
ted about upon the floor, table, or any
other level surface, within two or three
feet of each other, they Immediately bo-
gin travelling toward a common centre,
and there huddle up in bunch, like lot
of eggs in nest. A single stone remov-
ed to distance of three and half feet,
upon being released, at once started Oft
with wonderful and somewhat comical
celebrity to join it's fellows; taken away
fo1r or FIVE feet it remained motionless.
They are found in a region, that, although
comparatively level, is nothing but barren
rock.
Scattered over this barren region are
little basins from few feet TO a rod in
diameter, and it is in the bottom of these
that the rolling stones are found. They
are often from the size Of pea to five or
six inches in diameter.
The cause of these stones rolling TO-
gcthcr is doubtless in the material OF
which they arc composed, which appears
te be loadstonc or magnetic iron orc.
