A Beacrirvy DispLar.—The Northern Lib- erties Fire Company passed the Star office, yesterday afternoon, just after we went to press, with their machine, in procession, eaded by Prosperi’s brass band. We have to say that no superior turn cut of the kind was ever witnessed in an American city. They numbered some fifty strong, and were in their appropriate gala uniform, the fireman’s blue hat, red woolen shirt, black pantaloons, patent leather belt, and white gloves. The well manned ropes were extended 80 as to lea space of ten feet between the double line of firemen. and their beautiful engine was appropriately decorated with our country’s flag, the ensign of the company be- ing carried in front of the line by Mr. jamal P. Robinson, as standard besrer, with an aid on either side. This very fine procession justly attracted universal attention on the avenue, and was accordingly accompanied by a large crowd of respectable citizens. “It was handsomely got up in preparation for the open- ing of their delightful ball, which came off last evening at Odd Fellows’ Hall. The Union, the Franklin, the Perseverance, and the Co- lumbia, all rung aoe bells on the procession jing their engine houses, in heart: respect Fike Nariers Liberties Company “ The Columbia, on Capitol Hull, prepared a fine collation and as the festive company were passing. invited them in to partake of it, and the invitation being sccepted in the most friendly manner, they went to work on the fea things before them with right good will. ow they did that work, the bones left behind tellathe story. Vice Presidents Brown and Prenat had charge of the entertained, and discharged their duty well, reflecting the brotherly sentiments uf the Columbia to the Northern Liberties. Prosperi’s excellent band smong other inspiriting airs, Played “The Fiag of our Union” in splendid style. At night the grand ball came off at Odd Fellows’ Hall. This was a magnificent Firemens en- tertainment, joined in by representations of all the companies in the city, the ladies at- tending in large numbers, and various com- plexions of beauty. Boquets were presented by the ladies to Middleton Birkhead, Presi dent of the Northern Liberties, and tothe Vigi- lant Fire Company, of Georgetown. TheSun Fire Company, of Alexandria, was handsomel. represented. The companies were all in uni- form, giving much life to the festivity. During the evening a fine collation was provided for the visiting Firemen, under the direction of the President of the Northern Liberties, who was indefatigable in his attention to the guests. Altogether the ball was largely attended, and most pleasantly enjoyed by participants. ARREST For SELLINe Liquor.—Mr. Chas.

BUBROW’S ELIXIR VITA. Extracts from an editorial notice in the Portsmouth, Va., Globe, July 13, 1854. The Editor says: In this community this medicine scarce- ly requires « notice, it has been so often tested and its vir tues so well known from the uumerous cases of its success- ful use, that it is sold now just as readily without prescrip- tion or recommendation for the diseases for which it is re commended, as quinine is for chilis. In the local column of the Norfuik Daily Courter, the Ed!- tor in 6 of this preparation says: It is certainly a great etwas id within our own kuowledge has restored those who were considered beyond afl human ald.
