Fire Boats.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The recent fire at Union
wharf should lead our city authorities to adopt
some measures to provide additional means to
protect the property of our citizens at the
wharves from destruction by fire. There is a
very large amount of property on the water
front of the city, from Portland bridge to the
Grand Trunk depot, most of it is contained in
the lumber yards and frame buildings on the
wharves occupied for storage and as bonded
warehouses to say nothing of vessels in the
docks which is largely without insurance by
reason of the great hazard and consequent high
rates of premium on such property, with
such surroundings in dry time, with high
wind is greatly exposed to an extensive confla-
grafton. Every one present at the recent fire
could perceive that had it not been for the
heavy shower which occurred inst previous to
the fire, several of the wharves and large
amount of property must have been destroyed
Nearly all our large cities have fire boats or
steamers for this purpose, and surely no city
needs such provision more than this. 1t is
therefore hoped that the city council will take
early action on the subject We understand
that petition for this object is in circulation
and it is presumed will be extensively signed by
our citizens. UNDERWATER.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Democracy of West
Freeport have had their time. They advertised
flag raising and rally. The flag was raised
by the managers, but the cheers were so very
feeble as to make the Republicans pity the
ambitious leaders who had planned a brilliant
ratification of the nomination of Tilden and
Hendricks The flag raised, the crowd (ffty)
was invited to the town hall to hear the
promised speeches. The meeting was organ
lied with great solemnity. The solemn Presi-
dent took the stand and invited long list of
Vice Presidents to the platform. 1t was getting
too solemn for them to respond. Mr.. Briggs
was the first speaker. He talked time and
began to read Mr.. Godwin's letter. 1t was now
too solemn for the audience and some of the
party moved toward the door. Mr.. Sleeper,
recently from the South, followed, but his
attempt to please could not remove the cloud
OF solemnity and GOODNESS which enveloped the
meeting. The aspiring projectors of the affair
are looking very unhappy. O.
