For fully two months past there has been Q very
annoying scarcity Of water in tho lower wards OF the
city, extending, in many instances, 10 a ccmplsts
stoppagc from seven A. ". 10 about six p. NJ Tbs
apparent occasion for this dearth of water was 40
counted for by tho declaration that tho authorit,os
were laying additional mains in Nassau street and IN
New Church street. But the manufacturers and mer.
chants who have been suffering from deprivation OF
water during the usual business hours the day fail

WILLrsToN. Of those rich intellect
ual treats, of which it is pleasure to par
take and blessing to remember, was given
to such as were present at the lecture Of
Prof G. Ii. Perkins. of Burlington. in the
Williston lecture course. delivered Wednes-
day evening, the 10th. His subiect-Modern
Scientific Theories-was treated in such
manner as to make it one of the most en-
tertaining and instructive lectures OF the
course /; and in saying this, when every
lecture has won for its author the COM
mendatiOns of his audience. is saying all
that the best friends Of the Professor could
desire, yet no more than he merits. 1t
would be the presumption CT Ant is
best, perhaps. not to say what, to attempt
in a short notice to do justice to the lecture;
and that too-often much abused but. never
theless, expressive and convenient phrase.
" 1t must be heard to be appreciated. y
may best convey the idea Of its excellence
In this particular instance. however. were
it printed, its reading would be an intel
lectual feast. and Of such an appetitive
quality as to make the reader think OF
Oliver and ask for more.
The lecture course will close with must
cal entertainment under the direction OF

tbs BARRE BANK ROBBERY The strong
est evidence agains: Miles is expected to be
the testimony Of Peter Curley, alas Peter
Alphonsns, who was arrested for the rob-
berry before Miles. What induced Curley to
turn State'> evidence against his comrades
IN crime, is said to have been the unjust
and unequal division OF the spoils. OF the
81, 800 o: unsigned bills taken from the
Barre bank, CurleY's wife was turned away
with only So. and this was at time when
he vas confined in jail and his family sick
and destitute OF means. Curley will try to
get of on writ of habeas corpus. Messrs
George Z. Arnold and L. p. SomeryilIe of
New York, counsel for Miles, have applied
to Judge Barrett for change of venue in
his case. TheS want the prisoner tried in
Bennington county. and allege that he can
not have an impartial trial in Washington
county.
The freeman says Mr. SomeryilIe saws
he was told that if ten angels from heaven
appeared and swore to an abb it wouldn't
have any effect. We supposed that Mr..
Beach was to be the center of attraction.
but surmise it will not be thus when Clerk
Smile asks the ten to hold up their right
bands and left wings. That, we believe. is
the practice in the New York courts when
this kind Of evidence is introduced.
