ture factory on the corner of Fourteenth

it blocked the pavement. Some had

recently repaired at Seneca Falls for the
fire department of this city reached the
Fayette street depot at an early hour
last night The engine was taken from
the car aud placed in the Hydraulion
engine house this morning, and when
it was noised around that the apparatus
was in the house numbers wendell their
way thither to inspect it. The engine
has been made up-to-date in every
particular. The front running gear has
been altered and fitted with equalizing
springs, and a patent device has been
placed on the punty valve which keeps
water from running into the street when
it is cut off from the pipe and causes
it to settle back into the pump. Sew
eral new appliances have been placed
on the boiler and the engine is provided
with a patent brake. All who have
examined the apparatus are profuse in

that of either of the other Alexandria
engines. Mr.. VESSEL, from the Seneca
