' The En.juirer thus describes the manner in which a fire is managed in Cin cinnati, , . . The alarm is saoeded ad the locality of the fire indicated, , Immediately the hor ses are hitched by well-paid and trustwor. thy men who never sleep at their posts,and the seven huge smoking lumbering but easily managed machines, .tear through our streets creating like comets, steam as they go, and marking their courses by a fiery steam. Arrived at the scene of the.fire the engines are posted probably several squares off exactly over the huge cisterns constructed at the corner of all the streets, and with one or two men to watch the en gine;and keep up the fires the great hose are attached and dragged .off to the fire where they are managed And the water played by two or three men. - A striking peculiarity at a Cincinnati fire is that the power which propels the waU er is inriutjethe engines being some dis tance off, aadfthe pipe-holders nerer crow ded or impeded ia their operation.' Thus it is that no less than seven respectable ri vulets are brought to bear at one time up'" on a blase, and it must be a terrible one, and very far gone indeed, if it can stand up under such a cataract. There is no tumult, disorder, confusion uproar or even excitement of any sort d uring this ojertion which is usually a brief one, I The Power of CajitaL , The Creole.on the power of capital ia the State remark; Rotcbscbild eould seare(y be said to belong io any cation.

We find that during that time seven ty Murders hare been1 oommitled; fifteen infantefde; twenty six suicides' and one hundred deaths hare been caused; by ins temperance. .This is rather an appalling statement indeed,and should cause our phi knibropic citizens to pause and eon&ider whither we are tending, and to eodeavor to devise some means to anaeliorat the con dition of their felow-men,nd put a stop to crime. One huodied persons are put down as having died froai iutemperance alone; but, then, were not foufrfifths of the mur ders, the suicides, and . even of the infant cides, the result of the same-cause?
