- There is great apprehension existing in
PHILADELPHIA of a water famine prevailing there. II
seems that the beds of the Schuylkill and Delaware
have nearly run dry, and that the inhabitants OF
that city are suffering in consequence. Many OF
the large factories have ceased to work, and an
attempt to obtain water by opening the old wells
of the city has proved feilure. During the lass
thirty days 1,5OO,ooo,ooo gallons of 1Fatst were
pumped from the rivers for use in the city, AND
vet the CRY is "what are we to do for water'

THE GOOSE CASE.

A negro man, Thomas Ringold and n ne
gro woman, Caroline Weston, were tried be-
fore squire Bross, yesterday, on n charge Of
stealing six geese, the property Of John
Roach. Tho defendants were acquitted, be-
cause it was shown that they appropriated the
fowls under the delusion that they were their
j'ong lost ones found" Butler, for the de-
Tense, was eloquent and pathetic, pointing out
the absurdity Oft supposition tina, Rngold
and n Weston could give their characters the
hue Of their skin, by stealing geese, six stupid
geese that never "hung high" in all their
day. Mr.. D. then heaped volume Of his
sing yitupcration upon the geese, and derided
the historical Interference Of such grass-nip-
ping IDIOT. in the salvation of Rome. He

radical paternity, aud then sat down with

describing g0ose-egg, He followed the pro-
Tess Of incubation, but broke down on the gos-

pose to Feather his nest" by this suit, and re-
marked that in fixing the status of the goose

IIlI WiIAgG CASH.

We have heretofore informed our readers
that the supreme court Of the state has dccid.
ed the wharf case of this city in favor of the
trustees Of the Cairo City Property. Al
though many citizens Of Cairo were in
Springfield when the decision was made none
Of the number saw proper to give TO their
neighbors any information about the subject,
and inquiry did no, succeed in obtaining from
either Of them a lucid statement of the ma
ture Of the decision. From what we can
learn the courr decided the question on its
mcyit, and laid dow, gs law the doctrine
that the owner % land bordering on naviga-
be streams own at least to low water mark
that from the fact of a stream being naviga-
bic, does not follow the right Of all to use the
banks for purposes incident to navigation;
and that, therefore, owners ofthe banks may
erect wharvcs between low and high water
mark, and charge reasonable tariff for landing
Of vessels.
We are OF opinion this decision is u death
blow to mischcf-makcra, who, In the expec-
tation OF filling their pockets with the peoples
money, have sought to keep open the wharf
question, and thus to stir up strife between
the trustees of the Property and the citizens
Of Cairo. We are glad this wharf matter
has been laid upon The shelf; and are now
anxious to know what the agitators who live
by money made on; of the ordinary and To-
gtimatc path Of business, win bring to tho
surface next and oudoavor 10 impose upon n |
public which i. too apt TO listen to foolish
