Rev. DIR. Griffin, President Of Williams

Northampton and Hadley TO the amount Of
$1,000. The object is to endow a pro-

Mr.sCLAT, in his remarks at the dinner in
Lewisburg, says of his political slandercrs rs,
*driven from every other hold, they have
seized ON the only plank left within their grasp
that Ofmy acceptance ofthe Office of Secretary
Of Stae, which has been asserted to be the
contamination of a previous corrupt arrange
ment. What can oppose to such an asser-
ton, hut positive, perempt0ry and unqualif-,
ed denial, and repetition of the de mand for
proof?" So long as this proof is withheld
and vague insihuafions are resOrted to, can
any well regulated mind doubt the entire in
nOcence of the object Of such dastardly at
tacks, and will they require him to prove a
Negative upon such an issue before the public
Must man, whose reputation is assailed in
general terms, produce aflidavits to show he
was never guilty of an improper act in his life,
and is not his unqualified denial as much en-
titled to credit as the accusations against him,
resting on the unsupported insinuations of a
political or personal rival and enemy r! 70
Judge otherwise would leave the reputation OF
the most elevated man in the community at
the mercy of every anonymous caluminator.

Boring for, Watcr.-T Those enterprising
men, Boyd s. M'sCulloch, are still en-
gagged in boring for water at their brewery
in Ferry street, in the south part of this city,
They have arrived at the depth of 204 feet
but have not come to Sufficient supply of
water. When only 25 feet below the
surface, they struck on slate rock, and
have ever since been drilling through it's
1t is worthy of remark, thatswhen at the
depth of $50 feet, the borers Struck ON a
vein Of sulphurested hydrogen gas, and
when. candle isapplied to the tube ut the
surface, brilliant flame is emitted. Should
there be failure in obtaining water, B. &
NC. will probably be able to light their
establishment by means of this gas.
