The day book. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 1857-1867, 1865-07-29

Property owners in Berkshire Co., Mass,
are somewhat alarmed as to the validity of
their titles, because the Stockbridge Indians
have recently made claims to lands embracing
the whole of the town of Egremont and parts
of Sheffield and Afford Though leased fot a
number ofyears, no extinguishment of their
title to these lands has as yet been found, ex
cept to some f,rty acres These Indians weot
from Western Mas .achusetts more than eighty
years ago to Western New York, and forty
years ago went thence to Wise nsio, where
they now number three hundred ard fifty in
dividuals, aud are in destitute condition
Their claim is now before the Massachusetts
Legislature.

MEXICO.

At time like this we would studious.
ly avoid anything like sensation, but
the movements now going on in Texas
clearly indicate, to our mind, the danger
of a collision and consequent war be-
tween this country. Mexico and France.
In further confirmation Of this view, we
would refer to various speeches recently
made by leading persons in this country,
who are supposed to be in the con6den ce
Of the administration. Not only this,
but the Republican press north of US, in
many cases, seem to look upon it as a
fixed fact, that Macmillan is to be driven
out of Mexico. IF we are drifting" into
war with Mexico and France, it would
be we'll for the admins tration to inform
our men Of business of the fact, that they
may prepare for the coming storm.
A young and successful general, at the
head Of large army, and distantly re-
moved from his immediate superior, is
very apt, should occasion offer, to "try
conclusions" on his own account, particu-
larly if he receives aaid and comfort
from the people and press at home.
We look with much concern for fur

an old and important rule fthe Press, to

instances, interesting communications

a SUPPLY OF WATER.

We again call attention of the proper
authorities to the erection of pumps on
the streets. Water! Water ! is the cry,
the people must have Water! two thirds
ofthe houses in this city are without cis-
terms, and, in most cases, those houses
are occupied by that class of persons who
can lily afford to employ help. There are
but about dozen street pumps in the
corporate limits, and it is safe to suppose
that one third of those are always out Of
order; nor is it unreasonable so to
suppose, when we remember the consta ut
use to which they are subjected. The
poorer portion of the community, are the
sufferers from this lack of water, and no
one will undertake to deny, that the
poorer classes are the people to whom
proper legislation is due. God knows that
the usual ills and inconveniances of pow.
erty, are great enough, without adding to
those ills and Inconvenience by ordi-
nances or non.legislation.
Never since the Borough of Norfolk
was established has there been proper
supply of water in town; the people have
suffered long enough, and now they must
have supply. AS they cannot expect
that supply through the medium of pipes
from distance, they expect the
council to give tito them through
pumps. The convenience, the health,
the comfort and general well being of the

water at all. The councils meet in few
days, and 1t Is expected, and confidently
expected, that they will take some steps
to supply this great and because of incrsas-

WATER. In the meantime we invite the
attention of those oouncilmen, if any there
be, who are not fully convinced on this
subject, to The crowd usually found around
the cisterns at the Presbyterian and
Christ churches. Almost every minute
in the day can dozens of persons of all
sizes, colors, and conditions, be seen

pavement, dipping the water from the re-
