We published the other day an &C
count OF trial between the Clapp n
Jones and Silsby engines at Danville,
Illinois, Below we print letter from
Virginia City giving the Clapp Jones
engine the preference over the several
engines of other manufactures in that
city. The letter wOs written in answer
to letter from Mr., w. +. Moses Of
Woodland, Cal. Mr.. Moses wrote at
the lnstlgatlon Of DR.. G. w. Gray Of
this city, President of Linn Engine
Company No .. The letter will be
read with interest.
VIRGINIA CITY, April "a, 1875,
w, f MosEs, ESQ,
Dear Sir:---I am in receipt OF yours Of
the DIST inst, requesting me to give you
my opinion OF Monumental No. @
steam fire engine of this city. COM
ply with your request with pleasure,
especially as can truthfully commend
her as being in every respect very
superior steam fire engine; better l
think, than either Of the other four.in
the Gold Hill and Virginia Fire Depart
ments. We have here in Gold Hill
and Virginia five steamers OF different
makers. The one in Gold Hill is BY
Genreys Of the four In Virginia, one
is by the Silsby Manufacturing Co,
(rotaryl, one by the Amoskeag Manu-
featuring Co., one by Button, and the
one you refer TO is by the Clapp d Jones
Manufacturing Company Of Hudson,
n. Y. You will see that we have n
very good opportunity Of comparing
the merits Of engines built by tho most
prominent builders Of steam fire en-
giAes in the United States The prin-
clpal points Of fexcellenco tho Clapp d
jones' engine are
lst. The boiler is a very rapid gen
orator Of steam, making steam faster
than any boiler know of and | have
had considerable experience with
steam boilers,
"a. Simplicity Of construction Of en-
gines and pumps every part OF them
being easily got at for cleaning, pack
ing, repairs etc.
Sd. The superior material, workman
ship and finish found in this engine,
4th. Great capacity as compared to
weight Of engine. In short, as an
effective and serviceable steam fire
engine, think the Clapp < Jones the
| best
For fancy playing, No. G's boys say
they are ready to put up coin that they
can get away with any steam fire en-
gne now on the Pacific Coast. No, G

THE HEALING Passion, As Judge
Thornton would say, the editor of
the Salem Statesman is inclined to be
facitious, While meandering along
Commercial street the other evening,
he fell and struck his nose against
barber pole, and on being raised
from the ground by Seth, he glowled
out; "What'd thunder Eat (hic)
woman wi striped stock'ns on got
(hic) agin me-"

IL THE LAST DITcH. The last ditch
heard from is one imagined by a
yinous statistic'rn who says that
"the wine crop VI Franco this year
would fill ditch three and one-half
feet wide, three and one half feet deep
and 4 600 miles long" And the brave
editor OF the Statesman rushes val
iantly into the arena and hastens to
declare his readiness to die in the
last ditch, only regretting that he
can't die the whole length of it.
