DEATH OF HOPE BUTLER.-Inf ormation
has been received in this city OF the death
of Hope Butler, an old (colored) citizen OF
Richmond. which occurred at Buffalo, n.
Y, on the 9th instant. He was quite a
character in his way, and was respected by
all who knew him. He was born in Vir-
einia shortly after the Revolutionary war,
and when he reached his majority his mas
ter gave him his time, and he soon bought
his freedom, and subsequently that OF his
wife and three daughters. lie began life as
a rider and trainer OF race-horses for Col
onel William r. Johnson, the "Napoleon
OF the turf" in those days, and many in
teresting accounts he often gave OF the men
and horses OF that time. He was an owner
of real estate on Seventeenth street at one
time, which he sold when he went to But.
falo. His life there was not q successful
venture, and lie died without means to
give him other than pauper's grave.
About thirty years ago he went to Butfalo,
making that city his home from that time
down. Hope was an always genial old man,
even in his old age, seeming young in spirit,
and he will no doubt be remembered plea
sanity by very many of the citizens OF Rich
mond us we'll as Buffalo.

Meeting of Water Committee-R Report OF
the City Engineer.-The Committee on
Water met Mt the Manchester Mills on Sat
urday evening for the purpose Of hearing q
report from the City Engineer on the ad-
vantages OF the water-power belonging to
the city, and to hear suggestions from that
officer as to the best plans to be adopted rs to
utilization of this power.
The Engineer in his report to the commit
tee recommends that the crate dam filling
up the break in the stone dam be removed,
and the opening filled up with masonry (;
and that the present gates at the head OF the
canal, which are wooden ones, be subStl-
tuted by iron ones-or, at any rate, that
the masonry in which these gates are set be
made Of sufficient strength to admit of iron
being put in at some future day.
Mr.. Johnson still further suggests that all
improvements and repairs that shall be
made by the city to this water-line shall be
made with view of increasing the demand
that will likely be made upon it by the new
factories that are likely to be put up on this
water-courSe. He also suggested that the
committee should recommend in their re-
port to the City Council the importance OF
publishing pamphlet, with a map attach
ed, giving all the information in regard to
this water-power that would be desired by
those thinking OF settling with view OF
establishing manufactures.
The committee adopted Mr.. Johnson's
suggestions, and postponed the further con-
sideration OF the report in detail until its
meeting next Thursday evening.

Notwithstanding the present muddy condi:

stances that are injurious to health have
not increased. The sedementat!on~ Of, the
water in the reservoir is sufficiently perfect
to take away large portion OF its injurious y !
features. It must not be supposed, how
ever, that the muddy water Of the river (be-
fore going into the reservoir) is wholesome !;
on the contrary, it has been found decidedly
impure with dangerous matter. But after
getting into the reservoir filtration takes
place, and the water is rendered pure, as the
analysis has shown. ...r.ii i.
