The Firemen's Parade.

Extensive Preparations for the Trip to Bridgeport by the Veterans.
 The veteran fremen of this city are alive to the interest attaching to the great fremen's parade to take place in Bridgeport on Thurs day of this week. For the past two or three weeks they have been searching garrets and lofts in this city for the told styIe'' fire hats and tin trumpets and when they appear on parade they will revive the memories of by gone days in the minds of the old settlers.
