THE WATER SUPpLY.-Just as much water
comes into the city in twenty-four hours now
as at any time in the summer. Nevertheless
the higher portions of the city have scanty
supply or none at ALL All waste of water
should be stopped. The Water Company have
made earnest efforts to get the new main, now
in process Of construction down to Wards Hill,
in season to meet the extraordinary demands
of the cold weather, but the severe cold of the
past two weeks has greatly retarded the work.
There is, however, an ample volume of water
coming into the city for all parts of the city,
provided proper precautions are taken to pro.
tect service pipes from freezing without letting
the water run to waste Cities do not supply
water to be wasted and there is no reason why
the Water Company should be expected to do
SO. 1t is in the power of almost every person
to SO protect his pipes, in exposed places that
they will not freeze. The company seem to be
doing everything in their power to supply wa.
ter, and water takers ought to cooperate with
them in shutting off the waste which cannot
fairly be considered as a legitimate use of the
water.

RED TAPE.-Yesterday morning the cutter
Dallas went out to Richmond Island and took
charge of the men who were so badly frozen
on Watts Ledge. They were in very critical
condition, and it was thought they could not
recover. They told a number of different sto-
ries in regard to themselves, but were too much
exhausted to talk mnch. The ore who was
frozen the most is sailor who was discharged
from a vessel in this harbor but short time
since. He gives his name as John Randall,
and says he was born in Gorham. His COM
panion gives his name as Charles Bartar, and
halls from fremont. Marshal Parker recog g.
nized them both as harbor thieves, and both of
them have been in the station several times.
After 1.-The Dallas brought them here the
United States authorities refused to have any,
thing further to do with them as they were not
sailors. They were taken to the barge office
from the cutter and cared for while the dispute
was settled. Marshal Parker was notified of
their condition, and at once sent word to the
Overseers of the Poor The Oyerseers did not
consider it their duty to take the men as they
fell in distress in the town of Cape Elizabeth,
and they argued tina t if the United States au-
thorites did not intend to take care of them
they had no right to bring them from another
town. In the meanwhile it was proved that
Randall was sailor, and after some parley
permit was obtained and Randall was taken to
the Marine Hospital. While the Overseers
were deciding what was to be done with Bar
tar, Deputy Bridges notified Mayor Richardson
of the state of affairs, and the Mayor at once
ordered the men taken to the Greeley Hospital.
By this time the Overseers had decided to issue
permit, and both parties arrived at the same
time, determined to take the men in charge
They both had hack, and it looked at one
time as though the man would be obliged to
remain where he was still longer, but the Dep
uty Marshal got the man into his hack and he
was taken to the hospital for treatment
They confessed stealing the boat from Mr..
Poland, at Falmouth Foreside. Mr.. Poland
went out to Watts Ledge and recognized the
boat as the one stolen from him. In it was
found compass which was stolen from the
schooner Octavia Dow at the time the boat was
taken. Also barrel Of apples and several ar
ticles of provisions. One of them wore coat
which he stole from the schooner

A LIBEL DECISION. the suit of Repre-
sentative Kasson of Iowa against the state
Register for libel, the court, in instructng the
jury, held that the publication being by
newspaper in the Congressional district con-
corning candidate was privileged; that an
elector had the right to acquaint his fellow
electors with anything which he knew, or had
reason to belive to be true concerning candi-
date unfit for the position he sought, which is
both very sensible and wise view of the law
of libel, as applied to public criticism of canii-
dates for official position.

tone to the entire system Indeed it is no ordinary
discovery in medical science to have invented rem

the results produced by etofore free use of Gallo
mel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and ac-
knowedged to be destructive in the extreme to the
human system. That the properties of certain vege-
tables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its
injurious tendencies, is now an admitted fact, rem
dered indisputable by scientific researches; and
those who the Mandrake Pills will be fully salts

nature in the herbs and roots of the fields
These pills open the bowels and correct all bilious
arrangements without salvation any of the ipju
