No further damage by the bursting of tie great
reservoir that supplied the City of Worcester, Mass,
with water is reported except that perhaps two or
three more bridges and dams are gone than thus far
mentioned. The loss cannot be accurately COM
puted but will not probably exceed a million. The
Boston and Albany Railroad will sue the City of
Worcester for damages. Other property-owners will
do the same if the road is successful.

water, and not from the reservoir. 1t IS not
thought that there will be water famine in the
city on account of the disaster. The measures to
prevent it will be pushed rapidly. The City OF
Providence has sent two ire-steamers here for use
at fires until the water supply is restored.

lBr TELEGRAPH TO THR TRIBUNE.
WORCESTER, Mass, March 31.-One question Of
most serious import TO the city. and which has I'M
pressed itself on the minds of the taxpayers
is the extent of the ctys responsibility for the work
of last night. The mill-owners have only one mind
They say that the city had warning. They knew
that there was leak under the dam at the gate, and
the gauge which had been put in showed that its
capacity was variable Then, too, ml-owners had
warned the city that they did not think tho embank-
ment secure. They now expect that the Boston and
Albany Railroad Company, as the greatest loser
will begin suit and they will jon so that all suits
may follow the issue of the first. One of the manu-
facturers said IN defense of his opinion that the dam
was unsafe that two years ago the water IN the
reservoir was even higher than at any time during
tins season, and that. too. without any heavy rain
or freshet. 1t is reported that writ has already
been served on the city but the officials are retlcent

A SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT The handsome and commodious new store house of Mr. J. l.. Shinu on the corner of Main and River is now almost ready for use, and IS indeed a substantial improve ment to the town. The building is constructed of brick, with tin roof, and is fifty by ninety. The proprietor will occupy the two store rooms on the ground floor, which he will fill with a tremen- dous stock of goods in a short time; he will also use the second floor of one room for clothing, furnishing goods, notions, &c. The second story over the corner room is divided into offices, of which there are six, as nice, well ventilated and light as can be found in the State.

Our County Financial Report.

As a matter of considerable inn portance, and one in which every taxpayer feels a lively interest, we call attention to the fact that the last legislature changed sec. 623 of Gantt's Digest so as to re- quire the county courts after each regular or special term there of to make out and publish a statement of all sums of money allowed and for what purpose. This publication is to he made by the clerk posting the same on the court house door. The same act also requires detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures for the past year to be made out and published between the third Monday in January and the third Monday in February Of each each year. To this statement is to be attached n complete detailed report of the indebtedness and financial condition of the county. And recognizing the fact that such a financial showing as this, would not only be very interest ing and desirable to tax payers, hut also a great check upon the county courts, the legislature wisely provided that the same should be printed in the county paper of each county, if so ordered by the court. We see that most ofour exchanges from other coun ties are publishing such yearly statements by order of their coun- ty courts. and in consideration of the fact that the newspaper Is universally conceded to be the best and most suitable medium of givmg publicity to such mat ters, we see no reason why our county court should not order the financial statement of Pope coun- ty published in the DEMOCRAT and thus afford the tax xpayers an opportunity to see how we stand.

 The Arabian Sugar Cane was brought to this country during the Worlds Fair at Vienna in 1873. It has been raised in this country for the last two years and does not injure the lands in the least.

Itmakes finer syrup than any other kind ever raised in America, and also fine sugar can be made from it. The seeds are all fresh, last falls production.
