which he was compelled to suceumb. He
now returns to retrieve his losses, If posi-,

the encouragement and patronage of his
old friends. The new house is extensively
stocked with new and fashionable clothing

"Mr. John Kelly, the w~ell-known mu-

gave an entertainment for the benefit Of
Mr.. Bennett, whose shocking accident

Tribune some time ago. The boys turned
out well at the benefit. and the generous,
whole-soaled Kelly brought sunshine to
unfortunate Bennett and his family, by
handing him the total amount taken in at

Such action is eminently characteristic Of

ceipts have not accumulated, but melted
like snow in the genial sun of good fellow

Major Mccoy has undertaken an inn
psrtant work looking to an increAse Of Dur
water supply. The fat above the OH circus
ring Is at all times we'll saturated with
water; also the fat upon which the town
Of Eureka stands is capable Of furnishing
~ inexhaustible supply at a depth Of fifteen
or twenty feet. This is demonstrated by
q number Of wells in various parts Of the
town. 1t is highly probable that the sub
t~erranean streams underlying the town
come from the marshy fiat above. Acting
upon this theory of the case, the Major has
conceived the idea Of sinking a shaft to q
depth Of thirty feet. just above the circus
ground, with the view Of prosecuting the

aaresdy . current has been developed which
il too strong for the workmen. 1t was
found TO be impossible to keep the shaft

has been called into requisition. It is be-
heyed that when the shaft shall have been

Esarke 4 Lacy 10 the Front.
The Richmond Consolidated Mining

nation the Richmond Company gave Parke

duplicate Of that now used by the Eureka
Consolidated Mining Company, and will
weigh about twenty-four tons. Messrs.
Parke 4 Lacy are also supplying the ma
chinery for the Hoosac, also the machinery
for the pumps Of the Phenix. Thinking
that our mining Superintendents may be

there are any defects in those parts Of the

to the piston; for instance, whether the
