DISCOVERY OF WATER AT THE WARREN

lAltal WILL, amauroN.

A second editiou of the Brighton Times, pub-
lished yesterday, says "The long •uught-for water has
t rat the Warren Farm Well, much to the exults-
nd delight of the persevering board of guardians.
Early this morning the Intelligence spread like wildfire
throughout the town, and it is now the universal theme of
rejoicing among the inhabitants. We despatched onr epode'
reporter to the scene thie morning to ascertain the most cor-
rect and authentic information, when it appeared that, last
night (Sunday) the men on night duty, as usual, came up for
refreshments. On going down the shaft to resume work,
they were amazed to fled that water to an akin.
dant degree had come at last. Their escape was most
Frovidential. On measuring the depth of the water, it was
ound to have risen to the height of four hundred feet.
This ham kept on increasing till, according to the last ac-
count, it has reached seven hundred feet. We are credibly
informed that the water ia still rising at the rate of one
hundred feet per hoar. The town is its 'Macy. The
weekly expenditure has been at the rate of 1004
The main depth of this celebrated well is
supposed to be 1,282 feet from the surface.
From the specimens of strata produced, at the board of
guardians last Tuesday, and which are now lying before us,
the appearance of petrified wood and clay is readily dis-
cernible, and on testing this with the, it has all the appear-
ance of a slaty substance mixed with pm or gunpowder."
