GLEN FARR Of Morgantown, n. c.,
has won renown as pole-climber.
In 1874 he climbed a sixty-foot pole at
a Henry Clay mass-meeting, and from
the top waved the banner of Harry of
the West.and twenty-four years later he
climbed Seymour pole, and took q
drink sixty feet from tae ground.
Neither of these achievements seemed
to work to the advantage of the candi-
date whose cause he espoused.

in New York state for fire premiums

loss, large number of the 1853 COM
panies doing business in New York

consequence of the impairment of
capital, to discontinue operations.

The Village Fire Engine.
[From the ThiIadeIpha Timcs.I


\ secondhand fire engine is bought at
low price from some city which Is dis
carding the old style and introducing
the steamer system. \ pleasant theory
supp0ses this machine to be as good as
new, with the exception of the somewhat
worn paint and varnish and the battered
brass work OF the ornamental parts.
When such an engine is bought it is re-
ceived with a fair degree OF enthusiasm,
and wheeled with triumph to a safe place
In the town barn or shed. There it is
locked in, and the key is so safely put
away that nobody can find it. The
presence of this engine IN town is some
thing like that of fetch among a pagan
tribe The villagers 10 not exactly fall
down and worship their new purchase.
but they retire to their beds at night
with sense Of security, because they
have a fire department. The engine
rests and rusts. Hens roost upon it,
It's cylinders become encrusted with
oxide. Its joints grow more stiff than
those of the most rheumatic patriarch in
town. Its wheels cleaye to the aXles and
rigidlv refuse to revolve. The hose is
like a sieve, and viii not carry water
No fire breaks out for five years. Then
one is suddenly discovered, and the fire
department is called. The man who has
the key is away from home. The barn
door is pried from its hinges and the old
engine is trundled out. Men and boys
man the rope and drag the thing to the
scene Of the coutiagratiOn, yelling like
untamed and untaxed Indians as they
move along. On endeavoring to put the
fire department into service its weak
points become painfully apparent The
flames have their own way, and there is
much unnecessary destruction.
