SEBAGo WATER.-The flow of water at the
drinking fountain in front of the Postoffice is
controlled by the authorities in that bulding
and not by the officers of the water company.
There is an ample supply of water at the Lake.
and all the cities of New England could easily
be supplied from that copious reservoir.
There is no possibility of recurrence of the
difficulties of last winter.
The flow at the fountain above mentioned
was stopped because the waste water ran on
to the side walk, the escape for it IN the foun-
tain not being sufficient to carry it Oft.

picioD of having committed the larceny. Alter

WE have received from Messrs. Geo. Stin-

copy of their beautiful steel engraving, Just is
sued by them entitled "Only Little Brook"
The picture is printed on heavy plate paper,
size 21x27 inches, and is equal in every respect
to any in the market. 1t was engraved for
them by j. G. Butte of New York, after the
design of the talented Boston artist, Mss A
r. Sawyer. The picture represents mother
by the side of her dying child. As the story
goes the child was afraid to cross the river of
death, but with her last breath exclaimed as
she saw the angels coming, "The river of death
is only little brook, after ALL" The scene is
admirably portrayed. and life-like in every re-
spect. Mr. Israel Clifford is now canvassIng
the city for the picture. Samples may be seen
