Benevolent Bremen.

The active members of the fire department or delegates from the different companies held meeting in rooms 10 and Il City Hall last evening for the purpose of considering the by laws for the Firemen's Mutual Aid as- sociation. There was 8 great difference of opinion and great deal of loud talk in re- gard to the matter, and the question seemed to be whether the initiation fee should be $5 or $2. The main part of the bylaws were finally adopted, but it was hard to tell who was in favor or who against the same, as there were so many on the floor and all talk ing at the same time. The bylaws as whole were finally adopted with the exception of section 3, which fixes the price of initiation. The object of the association is to pay 8 stipulated sum in case of sickness, and in case of death to pay to the nearest relative 8 sum equal and in proportion to one dollar for each member.

Electric Lights.

fBoston Advertiser April 23.l
 There are about ninety cities and towns in New England now dependent entirely upon gas. The American Electric and Illuminating Company of Boston has already procured charters, and it is intended to establish sub companies throughout the New England States as rapidly as possible and to extend the business as fast as machines and lamps can be turned out at the factory. There is, indeed, every indication that the shareholders will very soon receive increased dividends and they are certainly to be congratulated upon the progress which has been made up to the present time. Within the past two months separate ''plants'' have been estab- lished at Lowell and Fitchburg, Mass, and Hartford, Conn, and, generally speaking, business is in the most prosperous condition. Wherever the lights have been used they have invariably given entire satisfaction; i; they are considered the safest, steadiest and best now offered, and the company has won recognized place among the established 1n- stitutions of New England. This has been due, In great measure, to the sagacity and indefatigable perseverance of President Golf, who has boldly surmounted obstacles that would have turned aside many men, and has won and justified the fullest degree of public confidence in this enterprise.
