stimulant that tends to render the vision dimly

light were slowly gathering about them, one of
the party signalled his companions and wildly
calling them to his station revealed the fact that
he had "dlshcoyered some wild bears: sure an
'pon IL honor" They Immediately went to work,
and guided by the discoverer, they surrounded
the game consisting of about six animals, and
after they had crippled one or two, and set the
whole drove to raising an unearthly noise, they
were prevailed upon to abandon the sport by a
wrathy farmer, who had a tedious time in trying
to make them understand that the animals were
not bears at all, but only six black hogs The
young men paid the amount claimed by the
owner ofthe porkers, and sorrowfully and sheep
ishly started for home.

WATER WORKS TRUsTEEs-The present Water
Works Trustees do their business In regular and
lawful manner-in open full Board, the minutes
are kept lettings advertised, bids for pipe, &C., So
licited the diggers paid and their receipts taken
on pay roll-in fact, everything is done on the
square, and all is open to inspection. Quite
contrast when some years ago water works mat
ters were done otherwise, when certain indi-
vidual negotiated the bonds, made the contracts,
paid the diggers, in fact, did the whole business,
even to controlling the City Council fixing the
water rates. &C. Now, all is done ditlerently-no
overbearing, selfish, domineering, devilsh spirit
controls. The Trustees now work for the best in
erests of the city-no Gadgrind among them with
his own axe to grind-and hence no secret tricky
ways and modes are resorted to- The present pipe
laying is being well and honestly done-at least
pecuniarily
