Mr.. j. W. Smith, of New York, who
is general agent for South Carolina for
Green's patent American Driven Well,
i'll order to show the utility of it, COM
menced boring well, yesterday morn
ing, on Assembly street, at its intersec-
ton with Lady. The boring was COM
menceu at n. M, and by p. M. a depth
of forty feet had been reached, without
however, striking stream of water of
the size desired Should this we'll prove
success, it will be great convenience
to those in the ncighborhood, but more
especially to our country fricnds-a large
number of whom are generally congre-

Smith, at the place where the work is
going on. or at Mr.. Hendricks store.
