A Fair Proposision.

Water, good water, pure, clenr water,
is what the people of Columbia have
been used to and what they intend to
have; and now to convince all who are
so blind as to try and persuade them
will not supply the city with water, be-
cause they have failed. or that we use
more water than formerly, q most absurd
suppositiop, make this proposition to
Colonel Pearce, which will test the mat
ter in controversy: That Colouel Pearce
give up the attire control of the Water
Works to the Mayor for one month; con.
tract to be drawn SO as not to prejudice
hid claim in the suit now pending; nor
will he (the Mayor use his works at the
canal or his river water, THAT il his ex-
clusively; to vary our diet, giving us
alternately bull.frog hash ono week aud
tap-pole soup the next,) and if the
Mayor does not furnish us with plenty
Of good water before lhe month Is out,
then we will tnke frog soup. hashed tad
poles, or anything else we can get. This
will bring the thing down to practical
results and prove that this model manu-.
featuring company know nothing about
their business. The springs are there
and will yield the water, if properly ma
naged. 1t is not our business to suggest
to them how to do it. He is paid SIC
600 year to find that ous. There is no
doubt that more water is drawn from the
reservoir than formerly Why? The
reason is obvious One goes TO lila
spout; begins to draw water; it is
muddy; otter smells bad; in old times,
under such circumstances, all lie had t.,
do was to let it run for few minutes,
and the water soou ran clear and pure;
but now, the longer it runs, frequently
the worse it gets; and, AS it is not ii for
use, it is left running and wasted That
is the secret Of the waste. Il il was
good, there would he no disposition to
waste it.

DOMESTIC SoENE IN DANBURY. III a
Hash OF light could have been shot. over
Danbury just as the rain commenced to
descend on Sunday night, it would have
revealed the most astounding sight ever
witnessed here. It Is estimated that 800
bare'legged men and boys and about 200
inadequately clothed women were at one
time struggling across wet stoops and
through impenetrablo darkness, with a
most astonishing variety of tuos, boil
ers, pals and barrels, to catch the rain
water. Everything that could be en-
ployed for that purpose was brought out,
and as there had been no rein in six
weeks, and the stoops were slippery. and
there was no time to lose, the natural
confusion OF legs, language and utensils
was. something remarkable. One man
on franklin street, who was dashing out
doors with two tubs aud boiler, lost
his foot-hold, and, sliding across the
stoop, went OF into al open hatchwuy,
down q stairway, aud half way across his
cellar. the tubs and boilers arriving
abant the same time. It was some
twenty minutes before he could converse
a heshy gentleman, named Hayes, lost
his balance while on II chnir 10 fix the

IN Parls: Some years ago, surgeon

he was not MARKEDLY "but if you can
find any ono else to make you his wife
and adopt the child as his own, will
leave him all my fortune" But hus-
band could not be found to accept these
conditions. However, among tho girls
friends was school companion of hers,
whose brother had just died abroad, and
she proposed to take her brothers name
and attire, and to marry her friend, to
saye her from disgrace. This was done,
and they duly married and lived before
tho world as man and wife. The doctor
died IN course of time, and. according to
lis word, left his whole fortune to the
child. The soi oisan! husband also
died, and the secret was discovered.
Hearing this, the relations of the doctor
have brought M action against tho Child
to recover the fortune. Ths money,
they say, was left to the child of Mons.
and Nine. A. bnt as there WAS no Mon4

the child could not be theirs. Tho suit

Temperance Legislation.

The following IS the abstract
of bill which i,as passed its Sec
ond reading in enc branch Of the
Legislature, in regard to selling
liquor in this State:
1T requires an election an the
ward or civil district in which.
any one desires to open tipping
house-saloon is the more mod
ern rendering. If the people
vote to have license issued, then
the saloon can opened.~ The ap-
plicant is required to pay all costs
incident to the holding of an cleo
ton. 1t is alsn required that
when the time for which such Ii.
cense was issued shall expire, any
person or persons desiring to re-
new said license shall present his
petition, and an election be held
as before. Druggists are forbid
den to sell any liquor except for
medicinal purposes, and then only
upon the certificate of practic-
ing physician, that it is essential
to the health of the person desiring
to purchase, or some one OF his
! family. And the selling of al
bitters and nostrums that might
be used as a beverage to intoXica
ton is also made a violation Of
the act. Section eleven declares
it shall not be lawful for any per
sons engaged in mercantile pur
suits, TO give to any person or per
sons any spirituous or vinous liq.
uor to be drank upon the preml
ses where sold or given, and any
person or persons violating this
section shall be liable to all th'
pains and penalties of the act
which are $50 fine for the frs
ofense, 500 for the second, ant
for each additional offense the fn'
shall be, Imprisonment in the coun
ty Jail until the same is paid or Sc
cured, for a period of not les
than thirty days. The last sec
ton provides that the provision
of the act shall not affect an,
person having an unexpired Ii
cense."

an assortment of type from one
&C the most celebrated foundries
IN tile Gorid. that of Higgins,
london, England, which they
aiH sell st 20 per cent. discount
from the American scale, when
ordered in fonts of 100 pounds
and upwards. They also offer
to import large fonts OIL special
orders at a greater discount
from the American scale, and
profess to be able to fill the lar
gest order in eight weeks from
date of its receipt in New Y ork.
They supply sorts in large OF
small quantities from their stock
on hand in New York at the
American scale rate. They as
sert that if the present duty on
type shall be removed, the price
of the article, both of home anG
foreign manufacture, will i'm
mediately fall 40 per cent. be-
low the present scale. Messrs
Geo. p. Rowell & Co, are
known as conducting the largest
advertising business ever Sc.
cured by one house, and are al
so extensive dealers in printing
material. They are compelled t.
import foreign goods because
American founders, governed
