convinced, is in accordance with the expecta-
tons and will of the Assembly, which, when il

power; bat the law Of November 20 must be

tearing Of its engagements. Let it permit me
TO pressiDgly remind it OF the claims for the
fulfllment of that engagement. The country
demands the organization of public powers,
and questions which have been reserved must
be settled. Furthers delays will depress trade
and hamper the prosperity OF the country. |

fulfill Its obligations. L adjure Ii in the name
Of the highest interests Of the country to DELHI

WATER WORKS. Messrs. BuZan
Il Maginnis have, during the past
week, been engaged ia extending
their water pipes to the lower end
of Main street, for the convenience
of several families in that section.
These gentlemen are doing all in
their power to supply oar town with
this requisite, yet they are enabled
only partially to supply the demand.
They are willing to sell oNt to the
Virginia and Gold Hill Waterworks,
at nominal figure, in order that a
greater supply may be had, as they
are unable to secure sufficient sup
ply in this neighborhood. Several
OF our business men have offered a
bonus to the Virginia and Gold Hill
Company, provided they would ex-
tend their mains to our limits, and
at one time it was supposed they
were about to accept the liberal
offer, but for some cause it fell
through. Messrs. Buzan d Magiu
mis- deserve the thanks of the com
munity for their efforts to supply
the great deficiency, and we trust
they will yet be able to get feeder
sufficient to supply all demands of
the town.
