Pm CoNrEA.-Ion A. T.. Judeyne Of Hard
wick and ten others, who accompanied the Rev
II Herrick in his recent visit to and examination
Of the outlet at Greensboro Pond, publish an ar
ticle in the last Neicsdeaicr, giving an entirely
different statement Of facts as the result Of that
examination. They say" There was no solid
rock found By any one about the pond to our
knowledge except lot of loose stones that have
quite recently been thrown in about the pond
where its waters had commenced Outlying on the
southerly side of the dam or bulShead For
many rods each side Of the same there was moth
ing but soft dirt and roots to be seen on the sur
face, and when the bar was run down some three
10 four feet it appeared to strike on grayel-no
ssoand Of solid rock to be heard which would
make it some seven feet from the top of the wa
Der to the grayel--and, in our opinion, no one
that made the visit alluded to came away satisfied
that the dam or bulkhead was safe, Except the
Eder) but on the contrary, it was considered a
Perfectly unsafe institution with water high
O. it has been for two or three weeks past In
stead Of our being satisfied as the Elder suggests
Nc came away fully convinced that something
ought to be done to compel the mill owners 10
make it safe, as it can be done without q very
large expense. Mr., lerrck says the mill owners
are drawing of the water as fast possible
That is not believed by those who know best, to
be so,--for the Greensboro brook for the past
week has not been above its natural current"
