\ meeting Of the legal voters of ti1s city has
bcen duly called, to assemble at City Hall, on
Thursday next, July 10th, to take into considera-
ton the expediency of providing the city with
water for the extngushmcnt of fires and such
other purposes may be deemed advisable. 1t
is believed by those who have investigated the
subject, that water may be obtained in abundance
by cxcayating and buildiog reservoir dam
in the vicinity of the residence of Capt j. 5.
kmball, head of Chestnut street, and by a sys-
TEN of hydrants distributed throughout Water,
Second and Middle streets, at comparatively tri-
fling expense, considering the great benefits to be
derived. This subject Of bringing water from
the hill has been advocated for many years ard
had the suggestions received due consideration
twenty wears ago we might have continually en-
joyod the fruits OF legitimate enterprise, and
saved many useless expenditures III the line Of
building reservoirs, &C., &c. Should the city
deem it unadyisable to prosecute the work under
municipal supervision, private Paltles may well
consider the feasibility of following the example
of capitalists in other cities, by inaugurating and
carrying forward the enterprise 10 a successful
issue.

who can eXaggerate their eXcellencies!
We learn that Rev. II. V. Emmons will preach
in the Congregational church in this city to-mor-
forenoon, at tue usual hour of service. Rev

Rev III. Sawyer, late Of Dexter in this State

ews church in this city. He comes amongst us

arship.
1t is expected that Rev. Dir. Smith, Professor of
