WATERBuRY,-In dry seasons like the present
the value Of water is more than usually appreci-
ated and this all the more when frequent fires IN
all directions are reported, aud especially if near
home water is the universal cry. 1t is, therefore
quite natural that our village should be talking
about water and water supply, for fire purposes.
This Is all very reasonable, and fire district MAY
lawfully, as well as reasonably, be looking out
for sufficient supply, and reason dictates that
economy and prudence in an economic and sys-
tematic storing and retention Of the water supplies
81 that when a fire occurs water may be of con-
venient access BY iudcious and well devised
plan Of arrangement :, this important object ma,
be attained without great public expense. With
that prudent management which individuals find
necessary in their expenditures for such purposes,
this village may be supplied with AN abundance
OF water for public purposes; or with extravagant
plans, in try ing to copy after city and large viii
age water-works, the inhabitants may be involved
in expenses which will be serious incumbrance
and drawback on property. At meeting of TIL,
town district, held last Friday evening in the vii
lage, committee was appointed to investigate
the sources and cost of supplying the district with
water for fire purposes. OF course the district has
law authority for taxing the people for other
purposes, under any pretense.

HANCOCK. Rev. c. t. IIewes of New York
city, delivered excellent temperance lecture at
the church May 9th, at three O'clock p. NJ,
which was listened to by a large and attentive
audience. Last Thursday night some tramps
or fellows from an adjoining town attempted to
break into the house of John b. Aldrich, about
two miles from the village; his wife and one
grown-up daughter and some small children being
alone, they very much frightened. Mrs.
Aldrch went to the window and distinctly saw
three men; she ran up stairs, raised window
and screamed for help; she aroused Charles Fisk,
and as he answered che would be there in a
minute" the desperadoes left; but Fisk not being
armed, went for John Andrus to 90 with him,
and Andrus hearing her screams, had got up and
was outdoors, and saw a man coming; he thought
it was a tramp, and hid behind the wood-pile, and
Fisk seeing him, thought him tramp, and ran
into the house fast as he could, and locked the
door after him; he thought strange Andrus didn't
get up, and Andrus thinking the tramp had
fastened him out of his own house, spnng to the
door and burst it open and struck the supposed
tramp one blow, and Fisk spoke; Andrus thought
the voice sounded natural, and lighted a match.
and behold it was Charles Fisk his nearest neigh
bor they then went to the assistance of Mrs
Aldrich, but the fellows had disappeared.

provided, formed in line again, and started for
the cemetery, about three-fourths Of a mile dis
