IT will be found upon inquiry OF represent
tative store-keepers in city and town, that
ladies no longer depend on foreign makers for
their Perfumery and Toilet Articles.
To Messrs COLGATE Il Co, the credit is
largely due for this marked departure from
the old preference.
Their Cashmere Bouquet Soap and Violet
Toilet Water is universally esteemed by the
tasteful and refined, as the most delicate and

WATER CUT OFF.
Notwithstanding the assurances received
from Superintendent Davis and other Of
ticials OF the Water Department that the
water would last until Thursday, portion
of the city-that supplied by the old reser-
vor-was cut OF last night, causing great
inconvenience and annoyance, as no prepa'
ration therefor had been made.
1t was stated last night that the pumps
would be at work by this morning. 1t is
hoped they will be. But we shall not again
undertake TO speak for the Water Depart
ment.
At12 O'Clock last night the water in the
| neiyhborhood. OF the Dispatch commenced
running again; indicating that the pumps
had been set TO work or some other arrange.
ment made to supply the mains dependent
upon the old reservoir.
THE POLICE.
The police have rendered unusually eflec'
tive service within the past three or four
days. ;.
Major Poe on Saturday morning took
great mains and trouble to notify all parties
who could be reached OF the coming OF the
flood. The information thus conveyed to
| the people was Of incalculable value.
Since the city has been without ilghts
nearly all OF the force has been on at nights,
and without relief. That accounts for the
absence OF the men from their usual beats
in the day. The losses by robberies during
the.period OF excitement, when most IL"
yorable opportunity was afforded the
thieves, were quite small, owing no doubt
to the vigilance OF the police.
| Parties who have matters to report thai
seem to have been neglected by the suspen'
