The engine Laurens, belonging to the

burst her fire boxes, throwing the engine,

The PHOENIX Office is supplied with
every style of material from the small
metal letter to the largest wood type,
together with plain and fancy cards,
paper, colored ink, bronze, etc. It is

We are highly gratifed ut being able
to state that tho old annihilator-th
Independent Fire Engine Company-is
undergoing q complete rejuvenation, in
every sense of the term. The old reel,
which was deprived of its wheels on the
memorable 18th of February, 1865, land
has since been exposed to tho damaging
influence of the weather.) has been re-
wheeled and will soon be in condition to
fill its proper sphere. A new, very hand
some and yet economical uniform-blue
flannel coat, faced and bound with red,
tastily constructed belt and spanner- case,
and substantial hat-has been provided.
The ''little engine" which has been
instrumental in saving great amount
OF property. is found alongside its giant
successor, and in an emergency can be
brought Immediately into service Great
credit is due to Captain J. G. Sutphen,
for the perseverance and energy he has
always displayed in all matters relating
to the company. Nor must our go. ahead
friend, Lewis Levy, Esq, be forgotten;
he has been connected with the company
since its organization, nearly forty years
ago-in fact, is charter member; and
is as earnest and energetic as ever. AS
soon as the new militia law goes into
operation, we verify believe, the Inde-
pendent will fill up to its ante-war quota
eighty men. Columbia feels proud of
her fire department; the palmetto" and
"Independent" companies can safely be
rated ga No. l."
