August 2d. a telegram, directed to the Mayor and Chief Engineer of tlie Fire Department ot this city, from His Honor, Mayor Failing, of Portland, was received, containing the information that Port laud was In flames, and asking tlie as sistance of Albany Fire Department at once. A lew taps of our tire bell, in a very tew minutes after tlie recep tion of the telegram, aroused our citi zens troui their peaceful morning avo cations, ami a ru-di for tlie engine house was made from every direction. Tlas news of !he terrihle fire which was then desolating Portland wa made known, and volunteers called for logo down to Portland ami help man our fire engine tliere. The announcement of Portland's peril created tlie wildest excitement, and we. suppose that one half our population, old and young, wouki have gone, had it been neces. ary, to lielp our broil wr tliere in their hour of neen. Business stopied. houses were closed, ami tlie owners thereof, equipped for work, stood ready to go down to PnrtlaiHl and labor to save and the greatest anxiety was mani fested to get tliere quick. A telegram was sent to Mayor Failing by tlie Mayor and Chief bt tlie Fire Depart ment of this city, iuformiiig liim that Albany lire engine and Company were in readiness at the depot, at eight o'elock. awaiting transportation to Portland. Also ;i dispatch was sent to Supt. Hildretli. asking for immediate transportation for Albany engine and Company to Portland, "in the mean time the down freight train came in and the conductor was besieged to drop hi freight cars, load on our engine ami tin) boys and strike out for Port land on the double-quick. Another telegram was sent to Mayor Failing informing him that we were ready, tliat a freight train was lying at tlw depot, ana the Conductor thereof was only too anxious to receive orders to leave his freight ami take us down. During all this time tlie excitement was growing more intense, as tlie news mint flashing over the wires tliat the tire was gaining headway that tliere was no water that men had been caught In the act of firing buildings, and thrown info the seething ftamcsor hung to convenient lamp-in f thai tlie fire liad cleaned out Fourth street to Fifteenth street, and that Mnrnty. three blocks r.n Front ami Fir street were in ruins! No news cot" lie re ceived from Portland as to iieaw of conveyance, and although rfidufC wY,'.i impatience, our Vfiys were jom pelled to await the tfinaiirance n tlie noon train. At tGeven o'clock a.Ws sage was received from Mayor Failing, directed to Mayor Van Cleve. an nouncing that the lire was under con trol, am) returning a thousand thanks tor the readiness manifested by our citizens toaid Portland in Lerdire dis tress, it was a great relief to all to know tliat Portland was out of danger, and tliat our aid was not needed; yet all day long the telegraph office was besieged by anxious inquirers after -any more news?" Had (t heen pos sible to have chartered a train. Albany Engine Company and machine, head ed by Chief Webber, would have been in Portland as soon as steam could liave got them there, and wlien there, would have aided with all tlteir power in staying the further destruction of property by fire. In concluding this article, we should not do our whole duty did we fail to mention a little incident of Satunlav mnriiiinr another proof of tlie big-heartediiess and kindly forethought of the gentler sex neu u was ascertained that our boys could not leave for Portland until the train from Rosebmgcainein. and supposing even if the train came in an bouraliead of time, there wonld be no stopping tor dinner on tlie road, and tearing there could nothing lie ob tained in Portland to eat even if lime would fermit. Miss Mb. Qr.t and Mrs. Purdotn filled several baskets with entieiiig edibles, and, impressing a number oflittle bovs into their ser vice, loaded them with the aforesaid baskets and started them tor the depot. I'iiis was done without any suggestion from any one out of tlie bigness of their own liearts. They thoturht of the toll and probable danger the boys were about toenf muter to save the prnrtv and lives of others, expecting no other reward than the consciousness of hav ing done tlieir duty, and these two noble women determined to do what they could to nerve tlie anna and cheer the liearts of men who were thus ready to forget -self ami self interest and speed to the help of suffering human ity. And although the refreshments were nn'mtclwd because not needed, yet the kind intent was there, and tlie roemliers of Albany Engine Company will ever remember with the highest respect the thoughtful kindness of these two ladies.
