Its Past and Present History. ee The first mention of any public ac- tion looking to precautionary measures against fire will be found in the bor- ough records under date of May 23, 1814. At a council meeting on that day J. Miles and Elisha Moore were appointed a committee to draft an ordinance for the purpose of making it the duty of the owners of dwelling houses in the Boro. ‘to furnish them with two leather fire buckets.” In January, 1815, the council instructed Richard Miles “to place a covering over the fire ladders, so as to secure them from damage from the rain.” At the council meeting in May 1815, the high constable made return of fire buckets, from which it appeared that twenty-six houses were provided with a pair of buckels each. At the council meeting in June, 1816, a paper was read, signed by a majority of the resident freeholders of the Boro. re- questing the council to lay a tax for the purpose of procuring an engine, Etc., not exceeding seven hundred dollars. In response to the petition a commit tee consisting of Messrs. Shugert, Wil- hams and Hastings wae appointed for the purpose of laying a tax as request- ed. At the council sitting in March, 1830, Mr. Burnside reported an ordi- nance for the purchase of a fire engine and the necessary hose and other ma- terials and for protecting the houses of the borough from fire, and for laying a tax to pay the expenses thereof, and for building an engine house. The engine was purchased, and in March, 1831, the council directed the trans mission to the county commissioners of a petition asking an appropriation of money to aid in paying for the en- gine. At the council sitting in May, 1833, council resolved, that “the young men of the borough of Belle fonte be invited to form themselves in- to a company of firemen in the bor- ough of Bellefonte and vicinity, to be duly organized tor that purpose.” At the same session it was resolved, that “the town council of said borough will deliver said company after their organ- zation full authority over the engine, together with the use of the frame house for said engine back of the court house, and that the council will pay for ladder, fire hooks, and neces sary repairs of the engine and engine house.” The reference to a fire com- pany herein dealt doubtless with the existence of the Bellefonte fire com- pany, organized Feb. 16, 1831, at a meeting held that day in the court house, Thomas Burnside was chair- man, and Franklin Smith secretary. The active members of the company were as follows : Engineers, John Bigler, William Cook 3 arm-men, Benjamin Bennet, Joshua C. Wil- liams, James McCord, Charles D. Trezivulny, Hyacinth Treziyulny, Josiah M. Benner, Geo. S. Armstrong, Samuel C Thomas, Thomas McKee, Henry Williams, Samuel Beatty, Wm. Moore, Robert Beatty, James P.

Callahan, William Pettit, Isaac K. Torbett, Thomas Craighead, and Peter Douglass; bell-ringers, Samuel Flack and C. F. Seligmen. Thomas Burnside was appointed president; John Rankin treasurer, and Franklin Smith secre- tary. The company had a primitive “mud- box’ machine, called the Little Belt. At fires it was kept filled by the buck- et brigade, which was usually under the command of John Lowery. LOGAN HOSE, NO. 1. Previous to 1868 the dependence for the extinguishment of fires was chiefly upon the bucket brigade. In the year named a hose carriage was purchased by the borough from the Schuylkill Hose company of Philadelphia.

C. UIGLEY, 40-23-3¢. Auditor. from the Bellefonte Patriot of 1822-26 and Centre Demo- crat of 1840. Why Democrats should vote for Gen. Andrew P. Wilson. Because he is the regularly nominated candidate of the democratic party. Because he is talented and well qualified in every re- spect to advocate the measures and policy of the democrat- ic party, Because he has always been a firm, consistent and un- wavering democratic republican, : Because, if elected he will aid in sustaining and carry- ing out the measures and policy of Mr. Van Buren Because, he 1s in favor of the Independent Treasury and opposed to the establishment of a great National Bank to control and govern the Country, Because he believes and advocates the doctrine that the will of the people should be obeyed, and that attempts to defeat that will by a resort to arms is at variance with every priucipal of republicanism. Why Democrats should not vote for James Irvin. Because he is the regularly nominated candidate of the Federal Party. Because he is in every respect unqualified to discharge the duties of the office to which he aspires, Because if elected he would be in favor a repeal of the Independent Treasury and in favor of riveting on the peo- ple a great monied institution. Because, if elected, he would oppose all the measures of the democratic party. Because in 1828 when a candidate he endeavored to have himself elected to Congress by importing 600 foreign- ers into one township in Huntingdon county to defeat the majority of resident citizens of the district. Because, he is a member of the party that by its State Committee in 1838 issued a proclamation declaring that the election “should be treated as if it had not been held’ and attempted to carryjout the declaration by a resort to arms. Because, after having been twice rejected by the people, he, beggar like, attempts to weary out their patience by forcing himself upon them. 8 REWARD.
