The parade of the Fire Departments at

of the most interesting sights of the day,

Seven steamers, four new hose wagons,
three hOok-aud-ladder trucks, and their
companies formed into three divisions,
designated by silk flags. gayly decorated
with flowers. bunting, and portraits of
Lee. will make up this important feature
on that great day.
The department will bring up the rear
Of necessity. in order that without confu-
sion they may go at once in response TO
any alarm sounded, and the Chief espe-
cially requests that our citizens will use
every precaution to avoid q fire, and par
tieularly needless alarm, to prevent inter-
ruption.
The most prudent care will nevertheless
be taken by private signals 10 make imme-
date response should one occur.
