THE FIREMEN'S PARADE. The Philadelphia Fire Department and the Companies front Abroad. BRILLIANT DISPLAY RECEPTION AND APPEARANCE OF VISIT ING FIRE]'JEW. THE APPARATUS OF THE DIFFERENT COAIPANIES Presentations of Proms, Flags, and Wreaths THE ROUTE AND THE OFFICERS SCENES AND INCIDENTS Philadelphia throw off its plain garb yesterday, and donned its " new equipments." The reserved expression of its countenance changed to the genial smile, while the usual sober voice was heard only in the moat gladsome tones. The long-talked of, the, anxiously-expected, the great parade of the Philadelphia Fire Department is over, and Mon day, October Lth, 1867, belongs to history. Per months past, the grand occurrence of yesterday was the all.absorbing and exciting theme of con versation in different circles. Around the fetidly hearthstone,' on the streets, at the theatres, and in the houses of the fire companies, this topic, day andnight, was of all others the most interesting and the mostly warmly discussed. We remember how, weeks erne, with what delight the firemen spoke Of their approaching" jubilee*, and thought of scarcely anything else than their new coats, capes, and hats, and the improvements and repairs to their treasured "machines." We at tended their conventions, where the admirable arrangements of the parade were perfected, and have soon as much interest taken in the pro ceedings, as if a candidate for , the Presidency of the United States was to be nominated, or some momentous event, on which hung the destiny of the Republic, was about be Onnsummated. The firemen were enthusiastic on the subject of their demonstration, each company tieing with the other to render the most brilliant display,-and the result of all this commendable rivalry has been the largest, best, and most attractive procession of noble-hearted firemen ever witnessed' to this or any other State of the Union. At an early hour in the morning firemen were seen repairing to their differ ent houses, while wreaths, bouquets, silver fire horns, and the numerous et, cisterns which consti tute the great adornments of all parades of this description, were carried about in great profusion. There were groat preparations in progress during Saturday to have everything prepared, and to fulfil to the letter the requirements of the programnie. Every painter and gilder In the oity, who had any claims to skill, was busy iu imparting the finishing touches to the numerous apparatus which appeared yesterday in now attire. Engines and hose trucks, spidere, and ail the paraphernalia appertaining to them, were being whisked about the streets, to ward evening, on the way to their respective places of deposit. Visiting companies from a distance were arriv ing, and being , received and welcomed. Men in flannel shirts, and pantaloons stuck down into their boots, were shaking hands with other men whose bran new equipments and neat bandbox ap pearance indicated that they were guests, who had donned their best apparel in honor of their enter tainers. Around every engine-house were collect ed groups of admiring urchins and shrewd hobble.: dehoys, peeping through the crevices Of the doors to catch a glimpse of the 'newly furnished ma chines, and eyeing with mute admiration thdir sable custodians, much as a beggar would eye the keeper of the crown jewels of - England. or as the denizens of St Giles might be supposed to look upon a millionaire. The weather yesterday was all that Gould be de sired. Rarely have we seen such a bright autum nal day. No untoward event occurred to mar the celebration, and an opportunity was, thus afforded to view the most imposing procession of its kind ever gotten up in the United States. It was at least three miles in - length, and passed over a route of eight miles in length.. No less than ten new engines and hose trucks appeared in line. With regard to horns and banners, and other accoutre ments, there never was Buda a brilliant display. Some of the companies provided horns of massive silver mounted with fine gold, and banners upon which very considerable sums of money leave been expended—sash banners as have not boon seen sines the memorable ones upon the Field of the Cloth of Gold. One of them, the Good Intent Engine Company, has boon presented with a banner of Genoa velvet, upon which an elaborate design lies been moan. wined laminate rosy seashells, With mssehi ( if bul lion and a pole of rosewood. This affair, we are awed, was purchased at is cost pErporetisonithMo hundred dollars. The Good SS ill Cioniliany has' also possessed itself of an article equally costly, and neatly all the companies displayed similar. eiitraVaganoles. Niagara Engine Compiply bad a canine member, by name Rolla. 'Rolla is a Phila delphia ,and can do anything but speak. Re attended the company on the parade, wearing a bran new silver collar and a profusion of artifi cial flowers. Thus adorned4Rolta took his °ono ' nary position, with the engine rope in his mouth, at the head of the company. In the way of silver horns, there never was such an *mamma. One was presented yesterday morning to Jno. F. Gibson, the marshal of the parade. Two of the companies have come into possession of two others through a gift book store, which offered them as premiums. In fact, there are few companies now in the city who cannot boast of massive silver horns, worth from ono to four hundred dollars, Many of them are now kept in such beautiful order, and are so beautiful in themselves, that a rustic person who had never seen one, would imagine it anything else than an article whose sphere of action is among burning walls and clouds of dust and ashes.

He alluded briefly to the noble, daring and manly enterprise exhibited in times of danger by the Philadelphia firemen, and said that their spirit of benevolence, in Its venous manifestatione, was over entitled to public; commendation. Ile who voluntarily gives his every energy to p the cause, of humanity, and who strives earnestly to secure and protect the interests of his fellow man, deserves, at all times, the euloginm of honest hearts and the laudation of every lover of right.

He had heard the walls of that building fall, and seen the ladder dashed to the I ground And when morning came, and the ruins were cleared away, clasped in the eternal embrace of death were the charred remains of that noble hearted fireman, with nothing left to tell his name or place, save the name of the company on the belt that encircled his lifeless body. However humble the guise in which such deeds may be performed, they are akin to those which have ennobled man in every ago. Mr. Dunn referred to numerous in stances of this character, on record in the annals of the Fire Department during the last few Team, and concluded by quoting Leigh Hunt's Vision of Abon Ben Adhem : Abon Ben Adhem—may his tribe increase ! .• • • Awoko ono night from his deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight of his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold.

The Vieion raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered, < The names of those who love the Lord.' < And is mine one?' said Abon. Nay, not so,' Replied the angel.

A terrible tragedy occurred yesterday morning, in 'Upper Menton township, Montgomery so.,_ a little more thane mile west of Norristown. The murder occurred in a tenant house owned by Capt. A. Shaneline, and occupied by a man named Thomas Elilby, his wife Mary Kilby, and thtir three young children. At an early hour in the morning Ilithy wentito the house of some neighbors and aroused them, telling them that his wife had been murdered by three negroes. Ho also went himself in search; of a constable to arrest the alleged murderers The neighbors hurried to the house, and there a shook ing eight presented itself. The body of Mrs. Rilby was found lying on the bed, with the head nearly severed from the body, from a blow with an axe. Thero were two beds upon the bedstead, both of which were completely saturated with the blood of the murdered woman. Kilby declared that three negroes had come to the house, forced their way in, and had committed the dreadful deed ; but tho suspicions of the neigh bors were aroused, and, upon questioning him fur ther, he prevaricated and contradicted himself, and finally he admitted that ho himself had slain his wife, In order to prevent the negroes front doing it. There can be no doubt that the story about the negroes Is all a fiction, and that Kilby alone committed the crime. A coroner's inquest was held, and after a full examination, Kilby was ar rested and lodged in the jail at Norristown. It appears that Kilby, who is a quiet and inof fensive man when sober, has been Intemperate' in his habits, and, when in a state of Intoxication, has been very violent towards his wife. Lately he has threatened her repeatedly, and she has been frequently in fear for her life. It is pre sumed he was drunk when he committed the mur der, though ho showed but little sign of it after the crime was discovered. The axe with which the murder was committed was found on the premises, showing the marks of the blood, which had been partially wiped off by the murderer. The body of Mrs. Kilby was buried yesterday afternoon, its condition rendering this speedy in terment necessary. She was an interesting young woman, of an English family, and we believe had no blood relatives in this country, except the three young children who are more than orphaned by this horrible tragedy. The trial of Kilby will take place in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Montgomery county, which meets at Norristown on the third Monday of November. We have since learned that the murderer's uamo is not Kilby, but Bates, his middle name being Ray. It is supposed by some that he was labor ing under mama-a-potu at the time of the commis sion of the deed. ItThe murdered woman had an infant child sleep ing in her arms when she was slain. When the body was discovered the infant was still clinging to its mother's breast, its hair and clothing clotted with blood. The hair bad to be cut off' to release it. The other two children were crying for their mother. Beside the fatal wound desoribed above, there were two others, ono of which extended from the temple down the aide of the face. The body of the murdered woman was interred in the Episo.... pal burying-ground at Norristown Tho number of newspapers published'in Wisconsin is put down at 116-20 dailies, 16 genii or triweekly, and 110 weekly, NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.
