| CoRpUBCHR1ST1.-Th1S DAY Catholics every where
Observe as high Church festival, services The
isa4ass on Sunday After High Mass there will
he . procession around the exterior hfSt. Patrieks
Church. We had prepared lengthy sketch OF the
origin Of the festival and the mode in which it is
observed in different countries, but regret that our
crowded columns preclude its publication to-day.
TIE ARTEsIAN WK1l.-Our indefatgable friend,
Major WILTON, is still boring at the Artesian Well,
and though he had many difficulties to contend
with, he feels confident that the consummstion
most devoutly wished fora plentiful supply Of
water-will soon be obtained. He has been labor
ing for some time to extricate the bucket which is
lodged at the bottom Of the well, but 30 far his
efforts have been fntlle. In endeayoring to reach
the bucket, several poles have become detached,
and have also lodged in the well. Major WELToN
is now making preparations to remove these, and
he viii then be enabled to reach the bucket. The
well is now over 1200 feet and it is anticipated that
when it reaches the depth Of 1900 feet 9 flow Of
water will be obtained that will be amply sufficient
to supply both the city and private houses Major
WELToN is confident that when the bucket is once
removed, it will be comparatively an easy task to
complete the boring, and there will be then no
impedment in the way to prevent the full flow Of
the water.
A number Of bath rooms hsve been fitted up on
the we'll grounds, and pleasant baths can now be |
obtained at reasonable rates. The water is soft |
and Of an agreeable temperature, and the both |
rooms promise to be, in time, one Of the ineti.d-
tons Of Charleston At present they are decidedly
more useful than ornamental, but give promise |
Of the good things to come, and are step toward |
that perfect state to be produced by our recon-
struotion.
