Worthy Of Attention. We have noticed for

! spring of water, but it is very certain that some
attention should be given TO it. During the
winter season it occasions quite a dangeroue
path from the water which flows from it best
coming frozen on the pavement; and it cannot
otherwise than greatly injure the pavement at
| all seasons. In case of fire in that neighbour
hood, We presume water, for the use of en-
gines, would not be found very abundant, and
therefore suggest that pump or fre-plug be
placed there. Will the proper authorities see
! to this matter?
