A Few THEORY OF WATER SUPPLY FOB
THE CITY.

An effort is being made to divide public |
sentiment on the hest method Of supplying
tbs city with water, BY circulating paper
for signatures, asking the City Council to
appropriate $1,000 for the purpose of sink
ing-not the twelve hundred-but an arte-
sian we'll, BY way Of experiment, to demon
strase whether or not the city can be sup.
piled with pure, fresh water, by such wells,
IN different parts Of the city. Desiring to
represent the theories of all parties, SO that
the city may secure the best, We give the
argument of the signers of this petition, as
follows: "At q cost of twelve hundred dol.
lars well can be bored three or four hun
bred feet, thus going below the depth of the
various wells of this kind in the city, from
which only . sulphur water, and the very
poorest for all household purposes is ob
tanned, and to the sandstone formation, from
which, experiments in Joliet have demon
ssrssed, perfectly pure and soft water can
be obtained, and also pressure sufficient to
raise the water forty feet, which is the aver
age limit of all flowing wells. We being in
the lowest dip of the Mississippi valley.
might make . difference in the depth TO
which the wells would have to be bored, or
difference in the flow of the well, and posi-
bly, raise the water sixty feet, which is the
case with one well at Joliet, we believe.
Two very important things would have to be
demonstrateG-canw water in sufficient GUAM
tity be found and raised a number of fee,
above the surface, and to the top of the
bluffs; and will the water be desirable when
so found and obtained ?" Twelve hundred
dollars is not much, if the city is in an ex
perimentng way. but there sets Mayor Car
ter, Sphinx-like. His only words are
Where is the money to come from ?"-oaly
this and nothing more.
This We do know-a large we'll sunk neaI
the river, will give Us an ample supply o
Uttered river water, softensd and freed from
all vegetable matter, By its passage through
the soil and sand, and the Holly pumps
worked either by stem or water power, viii
force it to every part of the city, to sny de
sirabls heigth, and in ample quantity. Anc
at g cost that is not unreasonable, when al
the various advantages are considered.

Rock ISLAND FISHING CLUB.-This club

find that there were fish ir the river, and
that they would be abe to bring into our
city convincing proofs of the same; but
were wholly unpre pared for the result Of the

bank 1t became evident to bystanders that
something had happened of mark in the

MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAILROAD

MEMPHIS, RALEIGH, JACKSON AND
LEXINGTON RAILROAD.-The people
of Henderson county, in this State,
are resolved to have railroad to jack
son, Tenn, from Lexington. General
Alex. w. Campbellmade an excellent
speech, and now that the process Of
constructing neighbOrhOOd railroads
is thus inaugUrated, we hope that
measures will be adopted for the ex-
tension of the uarrOW-gaUge Raleigh
road from Memphis to Jackson, and
thence to Henderson. No money need
be borrowed, and no Indebtedness
created. The road will cost no more
than a Middle Tennessee turnpike.
It viii fill all the Offices Of an ordinary
railway that costs $4,000 per mile.
THE earnings Of the st. Louis and
Iron Mountain road for the month of
January, 1871, were Sl26, 2l7; Janu-
airy, 1870, $50, Isl 81; increase, $34,-
l36 As. Work on the southern extern
sion is being pushed as fast as the
weather will permit. Seventy men
are t~raCklaying, advancing q mile per
day. Twenty five miles below Pilot
Knob are ready for the rails, which
have been laid for five or six miles.
The contracts have been let tor TWEEN
ty miles more. Some definite period
should be fixed for the completion of
the Memphis and Morley (St. Louise
road. A correspondent asks 4" when
the task will be done and what are
the prospects" There IS much talk
occasionally about the execution of
contracts which insure the i'm
mediate construction OF this levee
railway; but what has been done has
not reached the public.

reason. The weather at this season has a de.
pressing effect upon the vital organs and the
animal spirits, and they have no vitality or
mental animation to spare. The aged and
infrm, in whom the dame Of life is waxing
dim. are always unpleasanty affected by the
temperature Of winter, and should fortiiy
heir Systems against it. The extra vigor and
resistant power which the enfeebIed system
requires TO enable it to meet with safety the
assaults Of cold and damp, may soon be ac-
quired by The regular use Of Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters. b tonic effect Of this
wonderful medicine is soon apparent, in an
increased apostle, a more active digestion,
