The gallant lads of Phoenix Fire Com
pany took their new steamer to Mr.. Jos.
Terriers well last Saturday evening aud
to the riverside Sunday evening to test
her water-throwins power, and both
trials proved quite satisfactory, consider
ing the inferior quality Of the hose. The
steamer has been put in good order by
that first class machinist, Chris. Welker,
Esq, Foreman of Phoenix, and when a
sufficient length of good hose is obtained
the apparatus will be in proper trim for
effective service. The next things to
be provided by the fire company, the au-
thorities and citizens Of the town, are
proper facilities for drawing the engine
speedily to fires, in bad weather as we'll
as good, and the digging of wells which
will afford the steamer All ample supply
Of water in all portions Of the town. Tn
til these necessary adjuncts are secured,
the town will not be assured Of the full
benefits and protection which the appa-
ratus is capable Of atfording. We should
not omit to say that to the public spirit
of that respected gentleman, Mr.. Jacob
Lcnlann, the fire company and the town
are indebted for this Improvement i'll
their facilities for extingnishing fires, as
Mr.. Lemann is the owner of the engine,
and has granted the use Of it to Phoenix
Fire Company as long as they may de-
sire without any charge whatsoever
Such generosity merits the warmest ap
probation On the part Of the Phoenix
boys and the people of ponaldsouville
generally.
