Water.

No reference to the waters of the food
caused by the heavy rain of Friday night
last, reader, but the introduction of wa
ter, cool, sparling, and pure, into our bo-
rough. The movement is again in mo-
ton, and this time in such shape, as to
make it matter altogether for the people
themselves to decide, whether VIC shall
depend on our present aqueous resources,
or whether We will enlist the aid of the
beautiful, pure and gushing springs Of
our ncishboring hills in securing a sup
ply. The corporators named in the char
ter have already secured the right to
these, and it now remains but for our cit
izens to say the word, which is destined
to set the ball in motion and secure US Il
bountiful supply of water of the best quail.
ity ere the lrosts Of winter set in. At a
meeting Of the corporators held on Mon
day last, Jacob i. Wyckof, Jerome S.
Williams, and III. S. Wagner were ap-
pointed a committee to await upon our
citizens and secure subscriptions to the
capital stock of the company. The COM
mittec will attend to the duties of their
appointment on Saturday and Monday
next, and it is hoped that their advances
will be met with a most liberal response
from all on whom they call. There is,
certainly, nothing so important to town
as good supply of pure water, aud it ap
pears to sthat better time than now to
secure it will never reach us.

The President JudgeshiD.

1t looks " muchly," now, much as they

this 22d Judicial District, would soon be
compelled to cast about for a successor to

or two ago, the resignation Of Judge
Lynn, Of the Clcarfeld District, and
then stated our impression, as to what
might grow out of that resignation. Ma

and the Clinton Democracy for Charles

" Journal" he will, the district being

banks, fences, grain, &c.

We regret to learn that Michael Supcrs
iocscs heavily in grain and hay washed
away; and that John Huston lost nearly
bis whole potato patch, and large lot
of wheat and rye in the shcaf. Others
residing along this creek also suffered
more or less damage, but their names
have not reached us. A private bridge
over the McMichaePs, about mile above
town, was also partially destroyed. Two
calves, belonging to Peter III. Robson,
pasturing opposite the borough, got into
the water and were carried over the dam,
at the new covered bridge, and strange to
relate, escaped injury. We give in another

what would be the result in case submis-

morally certain.
John Morrisey, who, with all his

boltcd Seymour and is going for Grant.
Seymour's duplicity has disgusted him.
