TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
After reading your article In the HERALD of the 18th
inst. wonder no mention is made of the four large
lakes, mostly fed by pure springs, that lie In the
town OF Northcastle, Westminster county, within
few miles OF the county seat of Westminster county
viz, White Plains-and which could be united and
taken to the Oroton through pipes at small expense,
comparatively speaking. Some effort, Judge, was
made in that direction last spring, but fell through.
Perhaps II was not job enough to grease the palms
OF our hungry officials; but this do know, that In
these lakes there is large supply Of water pure
mountain brook, which could be largely increased
and the expense of obtaining it would be small in
proportion to the value to the CITY, That 1t will be
done some time hence Is certain; but why not at
once Is the question Of yours, DC, r. Is.

II is proposed to call National Convention OF the
amateur oarsmen OF the United States composed OF

troled by no section, and will be requested to trans
act with other business the following:-
!. To establish a national definition Of an anna
teur
2. To elect Judiciary Committee to decide all
disputed cases.

4. To revise the laws OF boat racing.
Mr.. Curtis states that every rowing club In the
United States win receive an official invitation to
participate in the meeting and cooperate In franz
Ing the laws for future government; and, II they
should not send delegates, he desires to learn
whether the absent clubs will accept the action Of

What Ought To BE Done.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Tread pretty frequently in your valuable journal
articles on the Croton water. Now, live on
the banks OF the lake, am casual observer, and
watched with interest the appearance of the water
during the summer months, particularly In July
and August, 1871. l took boat and rOwed up to
KatOnah The surface of the water during these
months Is covered with green and slippery SUBJ
stance, dfsagreeable to look at and sickening to
smell. But how could it be otherwise There are
thousands aye millions, OF tons OF dccaying vegeta-
BILE matters In the lake. The fact is, all the leaves
and fifth run down the hills all along and get de-
posted In the lake, there TO remain In stratas
much worse than the stratas I'm the low and filthy
your intelligent generals up in summer and let the
public know what they drink : The fact is, as you
know, even poor farmer when he digs well
builds stone wall around it and until you, the
great people OF New York, remove or cut all the
scrub trees and bushes around the CrOton Lake and
build strong stone wall against It's side high
enough to keep out all the rubbish, &C. carried
down the hills by heavy rains, you need
not expect pure water. There would be
need of any scarcity OF water If this
was done and then the millions Of tons OF rotten
wood and substance along its banks removed. The
CrOton corporation owns all the land below the
road and by raising the dam eight TO ten feet it
would supply double the present population OF New
York, aud this can be done at small cost. The
water now is foul and will continue so until the
lake is dredged and this foul substance removed.
will expect you to propose this, and you Will find
the public will support you. All New Workers with
whom have spoken say this Is the only true way
to do. WILLIAM RICH.

DR.. Meredith Clayton, n learned and
accomplished physician, has published
n little work on this disease, which is
prevailing to Il considerable extent in
Mississippi. An exchange says of the
work:
He gives Il complete and very inter
eating summary of the clinical history
and pathology of tho disease, with an
abstract of all the opidenics of tho dis
order which have happened in this
country and Europe. The author be-
lieves that 1t is not 'a simple Or idio-
pathic Inflammation Of the membranes

phus fever, nor of pernicious paludal
fever, but Il substantive disorder con-
sistent with itself in all ineterial points,

described and regarded as IL distinct
