has asserted It's powers ct dsTas

we have much TO Us thankful for
that it was 20 worse, and just
here, let US pause with grateful
hearts to commend and laud the
heroic efforts of our gallant fire.

ompense or pay except in the mem
Dry of their grateful faitow-mea,
were so unseiflehly and courage,

Our magnificent system of water
works Supplied abundance of wa
ter, aud in a short time The differ
ent hose companies under the di,
rec.ion of their efficient leaders
treated Nj. Fire to gu elegant
bath.
Let Us hope that the Insurance
Companies will recognize the fact
that Alexandria is fully equipped
to cope with fire, TO matter how
greatly the odds are against her
and will accordingly give US lower
rates Of Insurance in tins future.
While the loss to her citizens has
been great, yet QUE good effect OF
the fire will tc to tesch us that fra n1e

that brick stores will soon appear
upon the blackenea ruins.
