TESTING THE NEW STEAM FIRE ENGINE.
Yesterday afternoon large crowd assembled
at BaocCck lake, on the Washington MonC-
ment grounds, to witness the trial of steam
fire engines. There was some delay in getting
the machines into position, and 1t was near
ly three O'Clock before they were ready for
work. The steamers took position on the
side OF the lake, as follows:-No. 5 (Amos-
keag), weighing 6,i0O pounds; No. (Silsby),
$3.50 pounds; and No. (Clapp & jones', 500
pounds Nos. and got up steam in four
minutes and No. in eight minutes. Water
was thrown by No. a fraction of minute
before No. 8. No. 8, after working for few
minutes, blew her air chamber Off, drenching
the crowd; but ii was soon replaced. No.
got up steam pressure OF lis pounds, No.
ll0pouDds, and No. rs pounds. The water
was forced through $50 feet of hose, and the
distance 10 which ii was thrown by each en-
CINE was: No 6, 209 feet; No. 5, 1G4 feet and s
inches; No. 4, 40 feet aud inches; No. 6
beating the second best by IL feet and
inches. The test was a very satisfactory one,
and developed the superiority OF the new en-
CINE in force and steadiness of stream. The
manufacturers of the new engine arc MaSSrs.

L,,"Many years ago." said Con. Eli II.
Murry to Louisvil Ledger reporter,
Judge Site had n circuit down in
Southern kentucky. Onco a little
country tavern was full to overflow
ing, 30 that four or five persons had
to occupy the same room. Tho JUDGE
and four or five of the big lawyers i'm
dulged in draw poker until n late
+, hour. Thon they won't to bod, and
lott tho candle burning. The fire had
gone out, tho weather was cold, the
floor not clean, and mono of them
liked to got out of his warm place to
Diow out tho candle. Aftor iruitless
efforts to induce somc one to get up,
the Judge proposed that they should
put 1T out by splitting at it. 81 can
'beatiyou,' said one. Money SAYS YOU
can't, answered tho Judge. The cold
weather and tho dirty floor woro for
gotten, as the rivals sprang from their
warm places. Money was put up, a
mark made, and tho contest was so
exciting that tho othcrs wore SO drawn
on,taDd thoro, in tho chill, freless,
dpeariness OF the best room of ooun'
6fytavorn, the Judge and four or five
OF tho brightest lights of the circuit
stood up in thoir shirte and spit at a
mark for fivo dollars apiece"

:" Mr.. BDITok: L hope you will ex-
cuso the liberty 1 take in sonding you
those few dots, if worth thoir room in
your valuable columns, you are ut
= liberty to use them, if not, commit to
flames.
On last Monday, Capt. Notes and
myself found ourselves seated in ono
of Riohey and Wyatt's best buggios,
with fine pair OF dashng bays, bound
for Abbeville, and ere we had timo to
salute and bid aduo to our friends, we
found ourselves at Pickons,illc, n
place celebrated in anciont days for
big musters, fist fights, drinking, &c.
What change has taken place within
the e'last twenty ycars-nothing now
remains to mark tho spot where once
stood tho Court House but q fow old
buildings much out of repair
The wonthor being extremely hot,
we woro obliged to drive slowly, which
gave us bcttcr chance of obserya-
\ 'tion. Crops arc generally fair, and
seem to have been well cultivated.
Rain is needed TO mature thom. We
passed somo good dwellings, and oc-
caslonally flower yard, which proved
the good taste Of somo intelligent fo,
males, and made tho trip moro pleas
ant to US. We reached Bolton late in
THO .evoning, drive of some thirty
iniios, but as there was nothing going
on to attract our attention, we mado
no halt. In fact, Bolton runs dry
ticket, and we were pressing forward
Tor Honea Path, where wo expected
to get a little Of the (comc help us up
The hilD. Wo were not disappointed
after getting certificate from DR..
r7-----, VIC presented our solves as the
slek always do, and found no troublo
An procuring tho muchly needed ar
.ticle.
From thence to Donaids, crops were
somewhat in advance, and rcd oats
were found in abundance, which prov.
cd to us the good Judgment of the
farmers in that community.
Hodges Depot is lively place, and
several tino looking gents were here
found amusing themselves playing
croquot, which seems to be favorito
game in the lower counties.
AT Greenwood tho Captain conclud
ed the weather was too hot for him.
and no took Mr.. Isaacs train and ro-
turned to the Mountain City, whore
he could get fresh brceze, leaving
mo alone to return. However, the
trip was in every way a pleasant ono,
and the writor finds himself again at
home, whore he receives the balmv
breeze from the mountain region, per
famed by tho sweet scent of tho wild

duties incident to the high position in
the State, to which the accidents OF
war have elevated him, why did he

partisanship, and fragrant with the
odor of Radical talschood2 Ii his
