Reception by the Firemen.


The Cushnoc steam fire engine company, No. l.
and the Pacific engine company. No 4, having
completed their halls in the new eng inc house on
Bridge street, opened their doors yesterday after
noon and evening, and invited their friends to
come in and inspect their new and exceedingly at
,ractiye quarters. The halls are of equal size and
style of finishing ing seve nty yards of carpet
ing each.
The Cushnoos carpetej their hall and purchased
a centre and business table with the proceeds Of
their recent ball. On the pspered walls hang pic
lures purchased by the company and the gift Of
friends who hold the fremen in kindly remem-
brance. Brackets s,e arranged around the hall
bearing vases and ornaments of various kinds and
beautiful designs. There are memorial pictures
and the motto OF the company stands out promi-
nently, "Our Duty is Oar Pride" An elegant
Bible, the gift of Mayor Nash, rests upon the
centre table, and a silver trumpet stands upon a
table specially designed for it. The room is very
beautifully furnished, and is highly priced by the
fremcn.
The Pacific. hall, in the west side Of the build
ing is of eqlal size with the Cushnocs, and fur
nished somewhat similarly. The tasty carpet and
centre table were purchased from the funds derived
from the recent ball Messrs. Vickery, kimball
Starbrd and others have contributed pictures TO
adorn the walls. A Bible similar to that present
ed to the Cushnocs, the gift of Mayor Nash, rests
upon the centre table. The gidtd esgle and the
freman's hat that have followed the Paciics
through many a fiery conflict, and the silver
trumpets won in spirited contests, occupy lonor.
~. w.
and furnishings, the hall presents very fine ap.
pearance.
Both halls were well lighted last evening by the
gas chandeliers and were visited by large num-
bers Of ladies and gentlemen, who were hand
somcly received by the fremen, and freely ex-
pressed their qualification with their visit and in
spection. The fremen now have a home 10
which they need not be ashamed to in,ite theft
