 The work of digging the mains, and laying the pipe, commenced Wednesday morning of last week. The first main opened was on Main street, in front of Geo. G. Durant's shop, rnnning up to Capt. Fred Seeley's house. at this pres ent writing. The amount of work actu- ally accomplished, and the quantity of rock blasted through, shows very plain- + that Mr. Ciappell and his men are equal to the task, and that the work will be done speedily, and satisfactory to the borough authorities. A main has been commenced on Centre street. near D. T. HEbbell's house. It is thought that the ledge of rocks near Mir. c. Ben edict's house will be more difficult to get through than that on Main street. At the point where the dam and reser- voir will be built there is a number of men at work. under the direction of aIr. W. L. Wilcox, while those on the mains in the streets are under the care of Col. C. E. himan.

From Europe.

VENICE, ITALY, July 18th, 1878.
 My last letter t0 you, l think, was from Munich. Since then we have
 crossed the Alps into Italy. This form
 eel Il very interesting part of oir trip.
 and ono that we much enjoyed Having soon the remarkable piece of cnginccr- ing, that of crossing the Sierra Ncvadas tof California, l was somewhat prepared to see good railroad work, and here we found it. The skill displayed in w"md- ing around mountains was beautiful all our party were delighted. We spent night ill the mountains at Innsbruck and next day proceeded on our journey to this place; and here we were greatly in tcrcstcd, not so much in the city as in the manner of locomOtion, all the husi- ness, nearly, being done by gOndolas We took moonlight sail out on the Gulf of Venice, and through the various canals. Ii is remarkable with what dcX- tcritv these gOnd0las are handled, and beautiful picture is presented to the eye as one sits on the hotel piazza and watches them fit by. WG%took guide and visited the various objects of inter- est, among them St. Marks Cathedral,
 DoScs palarcs Bridge of Sighs, dun geons of the prisons, and the various objects of interest, which took us back to the 11lth century, for many of these buildings date back of even that time. I cannot say that l should long liko to live in Venice, for most of the canals arc marrow and filthy; and we were glad, af- ter stay of three days, to move on. There arc l4G canals, and over these 3O6 bridges. Among these bridges is the famous RialtO which was built of mar ble in 1591. It is one span of S9 feet. We could not see the merit that has been given to it. One would not like long to reside here; it is inc novelty only that gratiiics and pIeascs. We were glad when, yesterday morning, we started for Milan-Whcre we now are. Here is the great cathedral called the "DuomO.' It is 490 feet long; breadth, 1S0 feet; height, 354 feet; length of transcept, 2S4 it.. height of the nave,
 152 it. There are several thousand statues. IL astOnishcs and enchants the beholder. It is impossible to describe tho beautiful building. It is built of 1rhie marble in the form of Latin cross. It is quite different from other cathcdrals, the interior not being much broken by the lofty pillars, which are 90 feet ill height, but only feet in diame- ter. The whole is very imposing, and q sight is thus presented that one will not forget in q lifetime.--It was our inten- tion, when we left home, to visit Rome and Naples; but the weather admonish- es us that it would be imprudent, and this afternoon we shall turn our faces to the north and make tour of the Italian lakes, and then recrOsS the Alps, and spend Sunday next (21st at Geneva, in Switzerland, where we expect to spend about two weeks, and arrive at Paris about the 5th of August. We are having 8 good time, and all arc well.
