authority that so many of the wells in the town are
contaminated with sewage matter, we are not out of
pliant if we suggest to our reader, the advisability, now

purposes. The reservoir water is of excellent purity, and

during the whole of this summer, but in that we re=
to say , we are disappointed, es • victim to drinkingwater is now the sole occupant of that lonesome-look-
ing edifice.
