Tanks would have been of this fire. The engine has paid for itself several times over. The Messrs. McKechnie have been very seriouslosers by fire, and loss to them has meant loss to many employees. The town and country too, will be pleased to learn that this loss is largely covered by insurance. and that it is theiruttent.ion to at once put every- thing in shape to resume work.
