—After our first cremation six years ago, our town board purchased a small lever engine, which for a while, was kept closely housed and carefully dusted and used by our graceless young men to baptize each other, Sunday afternoons. It was held in high esteem for this, but unluckily some of the machinery got out of repair, when it was kicked out in the cold. Since that time it has lain in back alleys, until about a month ago, when the city council appointed B. F. Hill to put it in repairs. Lust Wednesday it was brought out again with 150 feet of new hose, and all the machinery in going o*dcr. It will now be put in our engine house ancl hereafter receive the care its value entitles it to.
