WATER WoRKs.-The water works Of Han
over were put in operation on Saturday last,
and its citizens viii, we suppose, turn up their
noses at its sister towns. They deserve great
credit for their enterprise. A correspondent
writes:
After over a year discussion, of the feast
bility Of introducing supply Of soft water
from GIFTS Spring, in the Pigeon Hills, three
miles away, a company was formed in August,
1872, with o capital Of $4,000. This was
soon secured, and in February last the spring
and eight acres adjoining were bought for
$3.50. In April the works were laid out by
X. X. Martin, Water Engineer Of Baltimore.
The distance of the reservoir site from the
centre Of the town is II, 300 feet, and the fall
nearly 200 feet. Ground was broken in May,
and several weeks ago the work was finished.
The reservoir being filled, the water was adj
mitted to the pipes on Wednesday, but the
bursting Of pipe delayed the real opening Of
tuC pipto W ctThlCC uuLft tD-uHy. 10 OUT

tiful fountain in the centre of our square. 1t

Forney, A. w. Eichelberger, Cyrus Diller and

contribution from the authorities, but to finish
the whole work by private subscription. To

$40 or more to the fund for the improvement
of the grounds about the fountain. The fol-

LISwooD IrENs.--The roads here have been
unusually muddy during the past two weeks,
but are now improving. The recent fine
weather has greatly improved the appearance
OF the growing grains. Those who were pre-
vented from finishing up corn-husking and
fall blowing in consequence of the Indictment
weather Of last month, have been making
good use of the recent pleasant days, and are
now better prepared for winter.
Due attention has been given to the hog.
killing business, and most Of the fine porkers
have already been dispatched.
