A NAnllRHful Care

About twelve miles from Columbia,
up the river, there are two caves, on
Rev. Mr.. ORMAN's place, separated py a
wall of seven or eight feet. There is
a creviee, however, through which the
water, with which both caves are filled,
is continually passing. In the morning
the water stream passes from west to
east, at noon short standstill is observ-
ed, and the current is reversed, and runs
from east to west. The cave is too far
above the level of the river to cause this
singular phenomenon, and the neighbors
would like to hear some learned mans
solution of it.

The Reservoir.

1t is strange how people get used to
things. Columbia has been afflicted with
uncertain water privileges, year after
year, until they have come to consider it
matter of course, one of the things to
be borne with patience, because not to
be remedied But we are not patient
snder such continued and unnecessary
Affections. If the town cannot afford to
to build new reservoir on the Knob,
then let the old one be enlarged, so that
when a small freshet comes along, in the
usual dispensation of nature and stops
the wheel. the citizens will not be made
to go witho ut water for several weeks.

Hundreds of farmers living within Is or

Columbia is inaccessible by reason of
untrayellable roads. Columbia is the
natural depot of four or five counties,
which would make her rich and pros
porous, if she would only avail herself of
her privileges. 1t is singular that our
citizens do not take more interest N de-

bestowed.
