9a From the PainesviIle Telegraph
On Saturday last number of young
men from Ashtabula, belonging to the
Hook and Ladder Company, visited town,
having sailed from their harbor to Fair
port during the day. Their uniform Of
blue and white attracted much attention
in the streets, and many wondered what
the word f.Alert" was on their belts for,
not knowing it was the name of their COM
pany. Looking about town and having a
good time in general during the day, they
bid farewell to our town and started the
same evening for home. Sorry We could
not have given them cooler day, but we
did not know that they were coming.
