AFAILURE.

suspended, all hope of getting flowing
water having been abandoned The
depth reached was 75l feet. Granite
was struck at 4 depth Of 725 feet.

and disappointment to the people Of
this village. that after the expenditure
Of SO much money there was failure

are not advised to what will be done
with the well, but presume a wind
mill pump or some other machinery
will be put in to utilize the water. -
