u At Henderson, Kentucky an
Artesian well has been. bored to the
depth of Seven hundred and fifty feet
without Obtaining water. The work
on the New Orleans well, will be re-
sumed in September, and the impress
sion now is, that a greater depth will
be required there, than at any other
place where such works have been un-
dertaken. May we ask when labor
will be resumed on the one commenced
in North Boulevard street some time
ago? Or was that work merely un-
dertaken to ascertain how far the sum
Of two hundred and fifty dollars would
go? $3.50 will do much on the sur
face, among men, and it is protested
by some Of our christian sects, that it
will do much towards acce]erating an
upward flight towards Heaven, when
judiciously expended in wholesome
prayers; but $3.50 will not do much
towards making a hole through the
earth-Nnless it be in soft place
where there is nothing but mud to
penetrate. We believe our city coun.
Gil have satisfied themselves on this
subject
