It is no doubt thought by many. and n without apparent good reason, that th t it region would be a veritable hot bed for the production of "fires," but strung to say it is very seldom we are rutted by anything in the shape of an erten sive blaze. Our refineries do quite u[ get ablaze, and send forth dense velum .of elate c .lured woke, which in th daytime presents a magnificent appear ance against the light colored heavens We have two steam tire engines in tow and one hand engine, two fire halls an two companies, and judging by tb manner in which they reach the seen of a fire and subdue it, one natural) concludes that no small amount of etti ciency has been arrived at by the mem ben of our protectors' corps Besides this our refineries have applians o their own ; which on the first alarm are immediately brought into use, and i rnore thantone instance hare done good service in extinguishing what migh .otherwise have proved a very distruc tiro conflagration. On the American side, that is, in the Pennsylvania oil re- gion, much more danger from fire is in- curred, coving to their tanks for storing crude oil beiog constructed ah.ere instead of under ground, and thunder storms accompanied by lightning are often the rause of much serious lou and damage, in setting ablaze the c,tteuts of their tanks which are only ton easily ignited.
