The old Neptune fire company. No. os this week fifty years ago tried out lneir new engine putting it to the test In Franklin square by first send ing stream up onto the tower of the unfvefsalist church. which then stood where the Chelsea Savings bank build ing now is Then the fire laddies tried for stream that would top the city flag staff on the sduare. They didn't quite reach the top, but con- cfuded the test well satisfed that the new engine would fill the bill when called on for actual service.
 In the war news the chief event was the replacement of General Burnside
 Joe Hooker Fighting Joe as he was called, in the command of the Army of the Potomac. General Burn side had been the subject of much un- favorable criticism for the disastrous battle of Fredericksburg, but an edi- toria1 of the New York Times of that period came to Burnsides defence with the open charge that it was dis affection and Iukewarmness on the part of some of his generals that was accountable for this repulse of the Federal forces, and gave irT support of that an analysis of the plan of battle. In this 1t was shown General Burn sides plan to turn one wing of the enemy was begun with complete suc- cess with all attack by the troops of General Meade, but that the heavy support which General Franklin was to have sent up to drive home the advantage was ordered forward so tardi1y that the rebels were given time to rally and regain all that they had lost.

While Norwich people are picking pansies in January and finding bIuets in the woods four months ahead of time, the south is also noting some unusual winter experiences. A reader of The Bulletin sends the following from Savannah paper:
 Fine, large strawberries at 20 cents a quart in the month of January is the remarkable record which this spring like weather has brought in the price of living.
 They are the Florida crop, of course, but the native stock is not far behind. Farmers report that berry vines and fruit trees are in full bloom all through the country districts, and unless the dreaded frost comes there will be an early season of abundance.
 Native cabbage and lettuce are be- coming more abundant every day, and The season of high prices for green vegetables seems to be definitely over"
