The city hole on the corner of the pub
lie square is 1S9 feet deep, but there Is no
water in It. except that which flows In
from near the surface of the ground. The
cost to the city thus far is $428.50.
Whether the new Council will continue
the work Of drilling or not is yet unde.
termined, but it is probable that they will,
although there may be some delay. 1t is
very desirable that there should be sup.
ply of water for public purposes, and we
think the feeling is decidedly favorable to
= prosecution of the enterprise. Our peo'
pie have recovered somewhat from the
excitement ausd by the fires which occur
red rone three months ago, and hence are
less anxious about protection than they
were, but we shall soon have another re-
hinder, no doubt, that we need fire
engine and supply Of water with which
te make it available in time of need. The
longer we defer making preparation fol
defense against fires the greater will oul
losses be, but that knowledge as rule
which costs most is the most valuable,
and when our people once learn that they
must protect themselves against the raw.
ages Of fire, the knowledge will be valua'
BILE to them.

Those persons who have attended the
fairs held in this city within the last two
years have noticed that some very tiuc
young colts were On exhibition, and upon
inquiry It was asccrtalned that they were
in most instances descendants from the
fine Clyde Percheron horse owned by II.
W. Lightly, Of the Town Of Austin.
Whether the horse will he used off the
farm of its owner this year or not we con-
not say, but it is certain that his services
are almost invaluable to the farmers OF
this community. His weight is sufficient
to assure good slzeL colts, while he is
active enough for all purposes except that
of the track. Hon. S. j. Sanborn, of Racine
Township, has five year old horse, one
OF the finest that we ever saw, which vas
sired by Mr.. Lightly's horse before he
was brought to this Stale. For beauty Of
color, symmetry of form, strength and
grace Of action, VIC doubt whether he has
any superior in the State. The horse is a
great favoIite in its own vicinity, and We
predict for him Il career of great useful
ness and profit to his owner. Farmers
should take pains to examine these horses
before deciding to employ the service:
Of others which are in all respects inferior.
