New ENaINE.-At the regular meet
Ing Of Liberty Engine Company. No.
l, Gold Hill, last evening, they re-
solved upon the purchase Of a new and
more suitable engine than the one they
now have. The wheels are not high
enough, and the body Of the machine
sets entirely too near the ground for
this rough, billy country. She Is a
first. rate and very efficient machine,
however, and In q town where the
streets are somewhere near level she
would be the very thing. They APP
pointed committees to make applica-
| ton to various sources and the citizens
| generally for funds to assist IN the
purchase of the new machine, which
will be a hand engine Of the latest and
most desirable pattern, they not de-
string a steamer at all. Corporations
and others interested should give lib
| eral assistance in this matter. Every
body can afford to.
