Fire Engine.

The Common Council of this town have
purchased one of the Babcock Self-Acting
Fire Extinguishers, for the use of the town,
at cost of So, 800, and have also two of the
small Extinguishers. A test of its capacity
to extinguish fire was made on house
built for the purpose, in which were placed
oil barrels, tar shavings, and other combus-
tible matter, and the building set on fire;
and when it was well filled with flame, the
fremen commenced operations, and in three
minutes it was extinguished. It was then
allowed to blaze up again, when it was
again extinguished in three minutes. This
was not regarded as fair test, and although
the managers were not prepared with &
a'third charge, it was again permitted tc
burn until the roof and sides began to fal
in, and it looked as an impossibility to pu
it out, but in probably three minutes i
was completely under the control of th'
fireman. So far as that test was concerned
! it certainly was a success.

County Fair

Our County Fair commenced on Tues
day. Very little was done on that day.
Yesterday forenoon we went out to the
grounds, and although the crowd of sight
seekers was not good, yet there was great
deal of very fine stock in the stables, such
as Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Hogs and Farming
Implements, &c. The show of stock bids
fair to be the best we have ever had, espe-
cially the Horse show The domestic,
floral and fine art department. will proba bly,
be filled up to-day, and grand rush will
be made for the Fair Grounds. Every.
body and their families are expected to be
on hand, when a grand reunion of our coun.
| ty folks will take place.

Remode1ing Of Music EIaus

~
Messrs. Ely & Sager are pushing along
the work of reconstructing their hall at
rapid rate. The old roof has been removed
and the walls run up seven or eight feet
higher. A new and improved roof is being
put on, and an elaborate metal cornice of the
most approved pattern, extends across the
front of the building. The hall will have
eight windows in front-four below and
four in the gallery-all of which are hand
somefy adorned with metal caps. The cor
nice and window caps were made at the
extensive Tin and Stamping Works of Mr.
NJ. S. Sager, which are carried on in the
lower part of the hall building, The ceiling
of the hall will be arched in the shape of a
dome, the center of which will be thirty
one feet from the floor The stage will be
at the rear of the hall on an enlarged and
improved scale. The gallery will extend
across the front and swing round in a grace
full curve on either side for some distance.
The entrance to the hall will be at the
| front of the room instead of at the rear as
heretofore. The whole interior of the hall
will be finished with such architecture
skill and beauty as not to be excelled by
any hall of its size in the State. Wilson
Hammer & Co. have the contract for. thu
work.

This grand moral consolidation is to visit
this place Tuesday, Sept. 18th, and we can
safely say no better entertainment will
make its appearance this year. The names
of many of the performers are familiar,
and have been acknowledged for years to be
unequaled in thesr specialties. We notice
that the Great European Gymnasts Mons
and Madame Sanyeah are with this concern,
which is attraction enough alone to fill the
spacious pavilions. They are said to re-
ceive the largest salary in gold of any pre-
formers in America. The Leviethan of the
deep, monster Whale, Cardiff Giant, Sea
Tiger, Sharks, Seals, Horned Horse, and a
Gorilla of huge proportions are in the Mu-
zeum. In the Menagerie will be seen the
Baby Elephant only 80 inches in higth, Lii
ons, Tigers Leopards, and in fact all the
most rare and savage wild beasts, aud all
the different varieties of the Monkey
| tribe, and also choice and Beautiful Avia-
ry, the most interesting Ornithological col
lection in this country, embracing all the
rech tropical and rare specimens of the
