bright antcipa.ions with which the day is
ever associated. The long and laborious

who sacrifice comfort and ease for the pre-
serva!ion Of the property and lives of their
fellow-citizans.
The return Of their anniversary is ever vel
coined by our fremen with a zest which is the
strongest evidence Of their esprit d. corps,
and shows how thoroughly they enter into
The spirit Of their work. ever 50 willingly per
formed. Yesterday, Notwithstanding the
threatening skies, brought out, as this occa-
sion always does, the whole population to pay
homage to the men who have so valianty
'oattled with the flames since their last dis
play Old and young, rich and poor, crowded
she streets in their line Of march long before
the procession moved, and not needing wind
Or weather the throngs patiently awaited the
arrival Of the head of the line, eager by their
presence to testify their respec: TO the boys
Of the brigade.
The day was to the fremen a holiday Of
no common character. Divorced. for the
zine being, from the ordinary ties Of every
day life, the steamer on the Fourth becomes
his bride, and, with the pride OF lover,
he looks upon her FURNISHED silver, and
drinks in the effects of the thorough work

moved from Canal street, and the notes from
she bugle, fife and bassoon made the streets
echo and re-echo to the popular ais Ok the
