bowen ENGINE, No. 4.-It is supposed that
appointed, should at its very first meeting
change the name Of No. steam fire engine
Boven-to one more suitable. The members of
this company would not in the least object TO
such course, feeling they do that they have
been badly treated, having received pay
for but twelve days' services since their ar,-
pointment in January last. Notwithstanding
this fact, they have earned quite a reputation for
their promptness In responding 70 alarms and
working TO save property. Under the direction
Of the foreman, Mr.. l. 3. Pond, the men have
ntted up the sitting room very handsomely with
flower stands, pictures, &c, and have made the
house as cosy a place as any in the city. To the
credit Of these men too, be il said, that, with
possibly one exception, they all voted for Enc
~, the reform Republican candidate.
