FLOWING WELL OF WHISKY IN THE MA

Notwithstanding the secresy maintained ny
the custom house officials on the other sue,
POSSIBLY with the design that others may oe
Unframed 1t appears that the attention OF
the revenue authorities of Uncle sam was
first directed to the operations OF l9"o

This concern seem TO have been heavy without

naiurally the officials conceived the door OF u

il was discovered that their stock was pro-
cured from the private dwelling OF farmer,
about one mile and half inland from the
Niagara river, opposite the head Oh Giaii.'
Island The transportation was usually Ut
night but even on this discovery the cohhec-
tons of the Lockport establishment were
inexplicabe, Us the economy OF the aforesaid
orriculturst presented none OF the requisites
for distillery. The whisky supplied was
unmis takably tinctured with the ilaFor VI
Canadian barley, but the shrewd detectives
almost despaired of entrapping the importers,
AS constant watching failed TO detect the boid
| smugglers, and still the stoek IN the FARMER
| establishment seemed ineXhausuDie. Durlhs

and the enterprise seems TO have resulted III

vein, and, quite singularly, found that lead

carried in horizontal direction mSteau OF
penetrating the bowels of the earth. In iact,
the tube was followed up TO another establish
ment, situated on the banks OF the NltSali
river which proved 10 be the real receiving
reservoir of the deposit; and here the ofleiais
found a subterraneous apartment, htted up
with = tank and force pump but still the
locality of the we'll did not appear Follow

was found to lead directly out into the Niagara
river The inquistiveness OF the ofhcers
resulted in hauling in about two hundred
wards of lead pipe, and it is believed that TINS
precipitate action has been the means OF losing
forever the lead of this invaluable deposit,
supposed TO exist somewhere in the depths OF
NIAGARA river The proprietors of this well
are grieyously discounted by the interruption,
as their plans were admirably managed ior
