The Eiremen.

MIR. EDIToR:-I hear many unjust crit
cisms upon our fire companies. By an
unavoidable accident the steamer was
delayed somewhat in firing up at the late
fire; and yet it was throwing water in
twelve minutes from the time it left the
Engine House. From that time-about
half past twelve--untiln nearly eight clock
the next morning that company remained
on the ground fighting fire with all the
skill and energy possessed by any equal
number of men in the State, without food
or drink, all through that cold Tuesday
night, their clothes frozen to their bodies,
they kept their station, keeping down the
flames and protecting citizens property
while the critics were snugly sleeping in
their warm beds at home.
The German Company also worked at
their engine for four hours in water near.
ly to their knees, while these brnue, 8 u:
xacrifcfng critics were nobly standing,
with hands in their pockets, on the dry
land, wondering why more was not done
Both companies did splendidly, and earn
ed, at least, Il cheering word. Be it re-
mcmbered that hut few of our firemen
have property of their own to protect
They labor for others.
Shame on those who have nothing but
filth to throw in the faces these self
ticing men.
But it is said they are paid for their ser.
vices. Yes, they are paid, they receive
the enormous sum of two dollars and fifty
cents per year, about enough to pay for
cleaning their clothes after elch fire. 1t
costs each fireman at least ten dollars each
year for their uniforms, dues, &c. They
must also pay the expenses of keeping up
the ordinary courtesies with their brother
firemen in neighboring towns. Twelve
times each year they must come out for
drill. At every fire they must he the first
there, and the last to leave. They must
do all while we get in a dry and safe
place, quietly smoke our cigar, look on
and find fault And for all this what do
they get-two and half dollars per year
and the abuse of the citizens, How mag
unanimous the citizen. How ungrateful
the tiremen!
