The Fire »e*«rtmrnl Parade.
Saturday waa a gala day in our city-the
occasion of the seuii-annuai parade of oar
excellent Fire Department. The street*
were lined with people, and the halooniea,
door-way* and Torandah* were occupied
lty fair tpeotator*. The variou* Companies
pretented a fine appearanoe, the engine*
and reels being decorated in the moat taste
ful manner, showing that the gallant fire
fighter* are held in kind remembrance by
the hotter portion of our population—the
girl* and ladies fair.
By aotaml count, the Companies “turned
out” a* follow* :
Pioneer Hook and Ladder 32
Washington. No. 1 46
Clinch, No. 2 28
Vigilant, No. 340
Fillmore, No. 4 50
Augusta, No. 5 26
Biennerhassett, No. 6 41
Richmond, No. 7 33
Citizen, No. 8 41
Goorgia (Independent) 52
Mechanic, “ 38
At Ihe close of the review, a contest of
muscle came off, on Broad street, between
Georgia, Vigilant, and Mechanic compa
nies—a proposition to see which Company
oould throw the farthest distance by means
of Georgia’s engine. Prize — a magnificent
stannum trumpet (three feet long). It was
also agreed that the Company throwing
the least distance should donate a barrel ot
lager-beer. The result of thin spirited trial
was : Georgia—l7o feet, 10 inches ; Vigi
lant, 176 feet, 8 inches; Mechanic, 181
feet, 2 inches. The presentation to the
winning Company was made by Mr. Ros
well Kino, and accepted on the part of
Mechanic by Mr. A. R. Wright— both
speeches reflecting much credit on the
speakers.
But the feature of the day occurred in
front of the Augusta Hotel—the presenta
tion and christening of the new and beauti
ful Hose Reel ordered for the efficient band
of Firemen known as Fillmore No. 4. In
the presence of several hundred ladies and
gentlemen this interresting ceremony oc
curred. Alderman Levy, chairman of the
Engine Committee, formally presented the
Reel; Captain Edwin F. Blodgett, in a
neat little speech, accepted the same in be.
half of his Company, and then introduced
the master of the christening ceremony,
Hon. Henry Hilliard, who enchained
the large auditory for thirty minutes in
one of his happiest efforts, concluding by
breaking the generons wine and pronounc
ing the name of “Annie Lee,” in honor of
the daughter of the renowued Chieftain of
that illustrious name. We shall not at
tempt a sketch of Mr. Hilliard’s eloquent
remarks, hoping to present the speeches
entire in our next issue.
At eight o’clock in the evening, over one
hundred invited guests were received by
the Fillmoreans at their Hall, to partake
of good cheer. After another inspection
of the “Annie Lee ” Reel, which had been
decorated with beautiful wreaths, artisti
cally trimmed by the skilful hands of fair
admirers, the company were ushered up
stairs—to find long tables bountifully
spread with substantial and delicate ap
petizers of the Inner man, anil to which
ample justice was rendered. After which,
with the proper vinous accompaniment,
was inaugurated “ the feast ot reason and
the flow of soul.”
At the late hour of adjournment, it was
impossible to give anything like a fair re
port of the many appropriate sentiments
and responses inspired by the occasion.
Suffice it to say that “the'day we celebrate,’
Millard Fillmore, Georgia, the City Council
of Augusta, “Annie Lee,” the Judiciary, the
Press, Woman, the Bar, etc., were duly
toasted, and acknowledged by gentlemen
present. We were compelled to retire be
fore the musical part of the entertainment,
vocal and instrumental, came off.
All in all, this reunion of brother firemen
and citizens, at Fillmore Hall, was a most
pleasant affair, and will long be remembered
by the gratified participants.
Tlie Weather.
Yesterday was a delightful day. The
sun shone pleasantly, and our Firemen
could not have been favored with better
weather for their grand display.
Th* gallant boys doubtless felt highly
complimented by the large turn-out of
handsome ladies to witness the parade.
Orchards.
When the ground occupied by an orchard
is uneven and not drained, the trees on the
dry knolls will be larger and healthier, and
will yield more abundant crops than those
in the wet hollows, and this in spite of the
fact that the soil in the hollows is deeper
and richer. Orchards should always be
drained.
In selecting a site for an orchard, choose
a hillside in preference to a valley, divided
by a small stream. Warm, low intervals
of land are more subject to untimely frosts
than the neighboring elevations. As the
night air becomes chilled, its density
increases, and it rolls down the hillside and
settles on the flats, whore the prevailing
stillness favors the process of freezing.
During the mild and sunny.days of winter,
fruit trees are more liable to be swelled
prematurely on low bottoms. One who is
in the habit of riding over a broken piece of
country in cold, still nights, will not need
to be told that the lowest temperature will
be found in the lowest localities. Fruit
trees will be less likely to suffer from cold
weather when the ground they stand upon
is thoroughly drained. The fruit grower
who suffers his trees to stand all winter in
puddles of water or in fetters of icc, has no
right to complain if his garden is over
stocked with grateful pea brush.

Cough and Bronchitis,
A young man, twenty-two years of age,
had a cough and hoarseness for fifteen
months. During cold weather his voice was
lost so as only to speak in whispers, pain
induced on coughing, cough dry, or raising
only a trifle in the morning, quite feeble
and emaciated. Had taken several medi
cines, with but little or no benefit. He
commenced with Humphrey’s Cough Pills,
no 7—one pill three times a day, and soon
found himself improving—his cough milder
and softer, hoarseness passed olf, strength
and appetite improved, and in a tew weeks
was entirely well, having taken no other

The Great Walker, Bates.
Meiudias, Miss., February s^-Bates, the
ex-Federal Sergeant, who is to' walk alone
aud unattendcdjfrom Vicksburg to Washing
ton by the Ist of June, carrying a United
States flag, reached here to-day. He was
cold, wet and thirsty, and said he would like
to take a drink.
Ho was escorted to a saloon by au enthus
iastic crowd of ex rebels, who treated him
with distinguished consideration, and the
whole party took sugar and whiskey. Bates
pronounced it good, and the wh de party
took another taste all round. Bates still
approved of the mixture, and wanted to
stand treat himself, but it could not be
thought of.
A delegation of citizens, headed by the
Mayor, called on Bates, and oysters were
ordered. Bates took a dozen raw and a
dozen fried, with butter and pepper.
The Mayor presented his guest with the
freedom ot the city. The bar-keeper now
treated. They all took whiskey and sugar.
Bates and the Mayor adjourned to the bil
liard room and played a friendly game, at
intervals taking whiskey aud sugar. After
which, on account of the weather, they took
a little whiskey and sugar.
Bates now left the city, on the Selma
road, but after going about a half mile, es
corted by a delegation of citizens, headed by
the Mayor, he returned and took some whis
key and sugar. The landlord gave Bates a
bottle of whiskey, and an enterprising gro
cery merchant gave him two pounds of sugar,
which he put in his pockets.
After this, Bates left on the road for Selma.
