until to day on account of the weather. A
number of hydrants were tried yesterday,

from the hydrant at the lower end of Water
street, near SawtelPs. and any one

92 pounds to the square inch. When the
engineer was turning off the water after try
ing this hydrant one of the hosemen con-
ceived the idea of giving neighbor good
wetting; the scheme worked like charm.

him to bath of Cobbossee water. There
was rot much head on and the hOsemen en-
loved it hugely. The wetting soon became
general. Engineer 1 i'd, who had hold of
the wrench, kept turning on the water and
there was soon full head head on. The water
flew in everv direction. A one armed soldier
Jumped into the road, seized hold of q nozzle,
and turned the stream on a fireman. The
fireman, not perceiving that he was unpro-
tected by rubber coat, returned the COM
pliment with such vigor that the soldier was
knocked down. Some fifteen or twenty of
the spectators were thoroughly drenched
with water The water was finally turned
off by Engineer Field.
