HE New STEAMER.-The steamer
which was ordered some time ago by
the Young America Fire Engine
Company Of our town from the Silsby
Manufacturing Company, of Seneca
Falls, New York, arrived on Tues
day night last, and was brought from
the depot Wednesday morning by a
detachment Of men from the compa-
ny. On Wednesday afternoon the
engine was submitted, by the cngi-
nccr in charge, to severe test trial
before the entire fire department un-
der Chief Dibble, and the citizens of
the town, to see whether she would
come fully up TO the guarantee of the
manufacturers; and we but record the
univerally acknowledged fact when
we say that the engine accomplished
literally everything claimed for her.
After all the arrangements were
made, fire was kindled in the furnace
at twenty-five o minutes past o'clock.
In four minutes ten pounds of steam
was generated and the whistle blown {;
in five minutes, twenty pounds of
steam was registered ; in six minutes
water was thrown, and with seventy
pounds of steam q strcom was thrown
considerably higher than the steeple
of the Baptist Church, 1870 feet high,
through $50 feet of hose. After this
eight hundred feet of hose were un-
reeled, reaching to Mr.. Scoville's
residence on Russell-street, and
throagh n nozzle one inch in diane
ter a stream was thrown 18O feet.
The engine was then moved to the
cistern near Messrs. Strauss ~ Co.'S
mill, and two lines Of hose attached
400 feet each and through Sd inch
nozzlcs two streams were thrown sim
ultaneously ITO feet; two other Sec
tions were then attached and four
streams were then thrown uphill
simultaneously 1876 feet. These be-
ing removed line Of hose 100 feet
long was attached and stream OF
water was thrown 2O3 feet through n
l inch nozzle, and then 191 feet
through q l ii nozzle both uphill
and against the wind. At one time
during the test five stl lcams Of water
were playing at one and the same
time, one at the engine and four ut /
distance of 400 feet away. AS far as
we could learn the test was perfectly
satisfactory in every particular and
proved the engine to be one Of great
power, and fully up to the standard
guaranteed. The engine is a fifth
Class Silsby with rotary motion, nick
el plated and excellent workmanship,
indeed thing Of beauty as we'll as
power and VIC congratulate the Young
Americas upon their good fortune In
securing an engine that is destined TO
be not only the pride Of the company
but of the town. We trust, that of.
ter this, there will be no trouble in
raising the necessary amount OF
money TO pay the entire Indebtedness
OF the comdany, ard TO enable the
Elliotts TO procure their new and i'm.
proved truck. Then Orangcburg will
be rs secure against fire as town its
size possibly can be.

he heard that the bishop was in the

A PLEASING Romance

Loring, the Boston bookseller, tells
very romantic story as follows: cat
one time | had prepared boxes of fancy
paper with fancy initi"l or boss name
embossed in it, and put this up at 81
box and advertised it widely One
day | had an order from California from
Miss Susie -. The box was done
up, addressed to her and lay about here.
when young Enghshman came in and
wanted to write a letter. ] gave him
the materials and place, when his eyes
caught the address on this box
Have you the order that came for
that box of paper?" he asked.
." Yes, | replied, It's about some
where
Would you mind sending it up to
my hotel? If it Is what l think, | shall
leave for California tonight.
&c found it and sent it around and
heard no more about it for perhaps three
months, when one day the young man,
with a lady on his arm, walked in.
Mr.. Loring, | want to introduce you
to my wife, he said I'VE could not
leave the country till we had thanked
you for your part III bringing us to-
gether. The denOuement was quite a
romance. The young man was the son
of an arlstOcratIc family and the girl the
daughter of the gardener. But love
levels all distinctions, and the young
man felt this girl to be the chosen com
panion of his life. To break off this at
tachment his father had sent him to
the continent and despatched the
gardener and his pretty daughter to
America, where the young man had fol
lowed them, ignorant of their address,
and at last finding it through the chance
of the box Of paner.

From the Popular Science Monthly.J
There are well authenticated instances
of persons who suddenly found that
they could not remember their own
names. An ambassador at st. Peters
burg was once In this case, when calling
at a house where he was not known by
the servants, and he had to apply to his
companion for the necessary informa-
ton. The names of common things are
sometimes strangely forgotten. The
wife of an eminent iurist who consulted
DR.. Trousseau, of Paris, told him that
her husband would say to her, "Give
me -my-dear me! my-you know, .
and he would point to his head. "Your
hat?" Z" Yes, my hat" Sometimes,
again, he would ring the bell before GO
ing out and say to the servant, "Give
me my m-umbrel-umbiel oh, dear"
"Your umbrella ." "Oh, yes, my UNI
brella." And yet at the very time his
conversation was as sensible as ever.
He wrote or read of or discussed most
difficult points of law A patient will
often use a form of circumlocution to
express his meaning; thus, one man who
could not remember scissors would say.

a sort of normal dress by which he claims

clothing has two essential properties:
