The Washington Steam Fire Engine, pur
chased from Messrs. Silsby & Co., Seneca Falls,
New York, lately, arrived safe at this place on
Wednesday evening of last week. The engine is
a beauty and gives general satisfaction. The
cost of the machine is f 7,200, inclui'ing 1,000
feet of hose and two hose carts. On Saturday
she was tested, aud gave satisfaction to the pur
chasing committee, composed of T. S. Shannon,
H. J. Waltz, S. S. Hendricks, W. 11. Miller and
P. M. Shiudcl. On Monday another trial was
had, when she threw water as follows:
l-l test 206 feet, inches, through 1'.,' inch
nozzle and 200 feel of hose.
.':id test 212 feet. 6 inches, through Ha inch
nozzle aud 200 feet of hose.
3d test 210 feet, two streams, through '' inch
nozzle and 200 feet of hose each.

inch nozzle aud 200 feet of liose each.
5th test l'.ts feet, one stream, through 1 inch
nozzle and 1MM feet of hose.

one stream, through 1 inch nozzle and 3iK) feet
of hose.
7lh test 4 feet over highest point of steeple,
two streams, through .' nozzle and 8 feet of
hose each.
After the trial tiu engine was accepted by the
committee, and placed in the Good Intent Fie
Company's house, on Fourth street. The engine is
not quite paid for, and the company will hate to
rely on the generosity of our citizens to patronize
their Gift Conceit to make up the amount.
With this engine. Sunbury has as complete a fire
depattuicnt as any town iu the St.itc. Every
citizen who lias not yet invested in the com

only au interest at slake in keeping up the fire
department, but also a chance to draw a hand
some amount of money.
Two Emtohs in LrcK. In our last we no
ticed that Col. Neff would kill his fat porker or.
Friday, and that considerable of an amount of
stamps had been invested in guessingthc weight
of his hogship. Little did we expect that our
two neighbors, the editors of the Ga-.ette aud the
Democrat had ever been studying higo!ogy. Hut
such is life. The editors aforesaid had invested,
though strictly opposed to gambling ; they had
seen 'through" the ways that are dark, and
each went their pile, amounting to ten cents, to
win the coveted prize. As they had never seen
the hog, they resolved '.a "go it blind," the edi
tor of the Democrat leading otf. The editor of
the Garette, believing his neighbor a better j initio
of pork than Himself, managed to lind out his
exact figure, viz : 5S1, and put dowu the same
amount, so that he mi. ht share iu the good iue ;
of his neighbor. Well, when the porker was
weighed he balanced the 5S1 lbs., and the cditoi
of the Gazette readily seized tlie piize box and
was at out to decamp, when the editor of the
Dtiitocrat reminded him of his interest, anil that
there must be a "divv." About this time tin-
butchers looked wofullychnp fallen at their own
poor gue ssing projieusity, but then the editors
denied all conspiracy. One butcher declared
that he. had n.ade a sausage forty feet long, and
that lie could not be mistaken. Various plans
were then suggested between the editors of how
lo dispose of so large an amount of money, viz:
$22.50 each, as neither had seen such an amount
at one time since they were in the printing busi
ness. For once '"they felt happy," and used
their best endeavors to make all their friends
happy. Congratulations he aped iu upon them,
particularly on the part of their cied'lois. Tlie
devils of both offices held a coiiMiitiilion. in nii-
i tieipation of their pay. The jours "smiled" a
! few, and for a dav all felt themselves us rich us
Rothschild, and all the while making months at
the butchers for not having a faculty for
ing. Joe butchers were tlie oniy individuals
that were who declared that no more
tender steak should be served to editors, a.id
that long sausages were "played out."
Wearc informed that Lot li editors intend to re
tire from the piintlng bu-iness, to stablisii a
guessing school.
The Shootino Afj-'aiu at Slumokin. The
Shamokiu lhrahl of last week gives the follow
iuf further particulars of the shooting atl'air iu
that place on Tuesday night of last week :
Tuesday night lat Joseph Levins, the keeper
of a saloon iu Coa! township, shot James Mahan,
iuflicting (it is believed at this writing Wed
nesday) mortal wounds. The shot entered the
abdomen of Mal.an. He, however, succcedud in
making his way to tlie house of a neighbor,
where he now lies. 1-e.ins came to town and
surrendered himself up to 'Squire Caldwell, who
committed him to ihe county jail. The follow
ing depositions, taken before 'Squire Caldwell,
contain the facts in the case :
JOSEPH LEVINS STATEMENT.
James Mahau and myself left M. Flaheity's
hotel about 10 o'clock p. in. He iusirted on
taking my arm and we walked that way until
we came to the bridge above the Luke Fi Hi r
breaker, when he ordered me to walk over or be
would shoot me. (1 saw no pistol.) We then
went into my house and there he commenced
quarreling with me. He jumped up and said r
"Now Jo, you and me for it," and repealed il
several times. He then made a motion as if
about to draw a pistol lroiu bis pocket, when I
li red.
JAMES MAUAN'S STATEMENT.
In the belief that I, James Mahau, may per
haps die from the tll'ects of the wounds received,
j make tlie following voluntary statement of the
! circumstances which led to the shooting and the
ac,.ouut of Iir;Ilg of llie liy Jo.-.pli
Levins ut me, on Tuesday night, the 24th day ol
Febru ry, 1ST4.
About 10 o'clock 1 was at Michael Flaheity's
hotel, in the borough ol Shamokiu, smoking my
pipe; Michavl Haley and Patrick Mahan were
also there ; I started to go out and had ho:d ot
the door knob, when Thomas Couiioeton said :
"What is jour hurry ; slop urn! take a drink be
fore you go." Mr. Levins said that he (Levins)
was not so drunk fur a long time before. Mr.
C'onnootoii said to Joseph Levins : "Jim Mah.iu
is here and will accompany you home." I had
a few words, on business, to say to Mr. Connoc
lon, and look him outside. I told Joseph Levins
"I'd be back in a few minutes." When I came
buck Levins and I started for home and walked
along peaceably until we got into Levins' house.
The best of my opinion is, he invited me iu. lie
told me to take a chair aud walked out. He
soou came back, and, holding the pistol close to
my body, said : "take that," aud fired il oil.
Levins and Mahan are brothers-in-law, hut il
apjiears there has been home ditUculty existing
between them fur a long time, and wlieii' Vcr
they got on a spree the tioubic would be brought
up. Levins has always borne the character of a
quiet, peaceable man.

amiable lady. The tables which wi re 6unound

choicest eatables that could be procured.
Bivalves were served iu profusion, and, although
no liquors were indulged in, some of the guests
became too full for utterance- The company
separated at a late hour, much pleased, and
wishing their hurt and hostess long ami happy
life and prosperity.
If our people, are in want of any legislation
this winter, they will have to be expeditious
about it. It requires thirty days' notice in at

Peruvian Gcano. We have, several time
during the past hear, called the attention of on
readers to tnc adulterution of guanos, and conj
demned th practice ns it should be. We n
bring to their notice the card of K. Balcaar
whose business we have investigated. Amaij
the best of pure guanso is that imported fnn
Peru, under the auspices of the feruvian Giv

full 2,210 pounds to the ton, directly to c-ns

wiil also ship in small or large quantities fru
the seaport nearest to the locality of the cor.s
