LAKE WINNIPIsIoGEE The Land and Wa :
ter Company, owning the factories at Lowell
and elsewhere on the Merrimack, purchased
few years since the right to the water of Lake
Winnipisiogee. The Lake now constitutes a
vast reservoir, for the supply of water to the Mer-
rimack, during the months that the river is at a
low ebb To obtain the command Of the water
channel has been excavated parallel TO the
old one. This enables them to command feet
of water in depth of the whole surface of the
Lake. The supply thus obtainedIs invaluable,
For some weeks past the Merrimack has been
low. that without this supply many OF the cotton
Mills could have worked but a portion of their
machinery. Some one has said that the aid thus
obtained is worth thousand dollars day to the
manufacturing companies A single inch day,
on the surface of the Lake, will usually be all
that is required and hence the teet will afford
a supply tor 96 days. 1t will be remembered that
the lake is above % miles in length, and from one
to ten in breadth, and besides this has large
number OF bays; hence by depression of a sin
gle inch on the surface, an immense quantity OF
water is drawn off. This advantage is one which
but few rivers possess in the dry season; and
gives ADDITIONAL value to the water power of the
Merrmack. Manchester Democrat

meeting passed resolutions complimentary to the
French, and welcoming them to our land. To
these resolutions Mr. CADET responded expressing
the thanks OF his people to the citizens He said
they had chosen this country as the land of the
free, aud determined to submit to its laws. II
any one should say that the society is contrary TO
the laws Of God, he would be mistaken. We are

education and indusry-on peace and respect to
