Frank Morgan, foreman of the J. K. G. engine, is one of our most faithful fireman, and goes for a blaze when he sees it. Like the rest of us, however, he is liable to be fooled; and he was the other night on the occasion of the last alarm. As he struck out with his engine, he saw the Northern Lights flaming up in grand style, and yelled excitedly to the boys: “By h-ll but she’s getting big! Hurry up there with your horses.” It is needless to remark in this case, the flames were not extinguished.
