Mr.. Editor As you are one of the euar.
dians of the public veal would call your at
tention to the feebleness Of the venerable
pump on the corner of Twelfth street ard
New York avenue. For many months past
the arm of this useful object of our neighbor-
hood has been powerless, upable to produce
its wonted contributions of the pure aqua for
the relief of thirsty souls. The officers of the
city have called ENTHUSIASTICALLY upon the
patient, grasped it kindly by the arm ; but
that arm, which once served in cooling the
fevered tongue, now hangs paralyzed. They
have examined it's nose and body, and have
pronounced its affection neither the catarrh
or dropsy. We would recommend that it be
taken to water-cure establishment, and q
moro efficient body substituted in its place.
