FIRE ENGINg.


WAsnINoToN, April 25, 1871.
EDS. HERALD lin the recent re-
port of our worthy Mayor, the at
tentiOn of the Council and the citi-
zens is called to our helpless condi
tion in case Of fire.
When we consider that the build
ings and contents from Fayette
street to the alley, on the east side
of Court street, is estimated low,
at one hundred thousand dollars (;
and that more than likely fire in
that locality would sweep the en-
tire block, if it even stopped
there. And when we consider that
10 per cent of the value Of that one
square, would provide us with a
Steam Fire Engine and supply us
witha sulIleientnumber of cisterns ;
and thereby afford us ample pro.
lection from the ravages Of fire,
it does seem to me Messrs Edi-
tors, when all this is considered,
that it is high time for either our
village authorities, or the property
holders of Washington to take
some action in this direction.
Yours for Protection,
STEAMER.

Washington Girls; but brother
Gould is excusable for it, however,
when we explain that it was
not Melvin's Billy goat with whom
our fair were testing their speed,
but it was one of the Circleville e
male persuasion who was trying to
insinuate himself into the society
Of the Washington Girls, against
their will, and Gould seeing them
in advance of the Circleyillian,
naturally enough mistook him for
Melvin's Billy Goat. "Poor Billy =

cherished ReIIes.

Our old friend, Robert Burnett,
Of Jasper Township, showed us
some articles that were manufac-
! tured "lang sine" and handed
down from one generation to
another, until they came into his
possession, where they have been
for many years, and by whom they
have been well taken care Of
Among these cherished articles of
the olden time, is one set Of silver
teaspoons that have been in the
family connection for more than
one hundred years. They descend
ed from his grandmother, who died
at the advanced age of 105 years,
70 his mother, who had them
twelve years. She died at the
age of 81 years, since which
time, At years last fall, they have
been in the possession of her son,
Mr.. Robert Burnett. They are
quite different in style from those
manufactured at the present day,
and are still in a remarkably good
state of preservation.
Another article is a Delf plate,
which was a present to Mr.. Bur
netts wife. 1t was bought by the
lady who presented it, long before
the Revolutionary war, and is over
one hundred years old, 1t IS tri-
colored plate of tolerably good
ware, and a full set of it on one
of our tables at this day would be
a rare sight.
Mr.. Burnett showed us, also,
a pair Of pantaloons, which he
had made for hims elf over sixty
years ago. The goods are English
Corduroy. They are well made
and have been well preserved
The style, of course, is ancient, at
least our mustached dandies Of the
present fast age would think the
style was horrid. They are made
on the broad fall principle, much
shorter in the legs than the pres
ent style. Mr.. B. says he designed
to wear them a few years since to a
Pioneers Meeting, held in this
town, but when he went to put them
on he found thatthe girls had played
a roguish trick on their father, when
they found that he designed wear
ing them to the meeting, by cut
ting off all the buttons. He says
the goods for these pantaloons cost
him a months work. In these
days, when many of our young
men complain of high prices, high
taxes and hard times, a common
laborer can earn money enough in
two or three days to buy goods
enough for as good, if not better
pair of pants than these.

BlOOmingburg Items.

Pike operations have opened out
for the Spring, and the rumbling
wagons, and clanking chains, of the
teams hurrying to work, are very
destructive to our morning maps.
The other day we noticed in the
hands of our old friend. D. r.
Boies, the most complete thing in
the way of a sell that we have seen
for long time. 1t consists in a
wine glass constructed with double
walls coming together at the top,
ith the space between the walls
filled with very nice looking wine.
This presented to the intended vic
tim il. the bland manner character
istic of our friend renders it a com
plete catch for even the most sus-
picious, and after repeated attempts
to moisten his lips with the spark
ling fluid, the merriment of the by
ISLANDERS awakens him to the fact
that he has been sold.
Go to the auction now in pro-
gress at room No, 7, South side Of
Chapdues Block, ground floor.
We are happy to compliment our
friend Mr.. Wheaton on tbe thriv-

They certainly do not suffer for the
necessaries of life.
Our Village seems to be de-
cidedly healthy locality for the
canine tribe, there is not a house
but that is represented by from one
to five of these natural born guar
dians, and we'll do they succeed in
making night hideous, about the
time honest people want to sleep,
they manage to get up a general
row in which they all both big and
little take a hand. One would
think from the racket they make,
that our streets was the theater of
some Of the nocturnal scenes of the
tropical regions. We could stand
it, however, with better grace, if
there was any prospect of these
continued excesses wearing them
out, or at least some OF them would
occasionally get hurt But they
manifest quite relish for the game;
and renew it night after night with
increasing interest. Surely they
must have wonderful constitutions.
It seems that a certain stump
