which is an ingenious mechanical attach

exLinguishej upon being upset or falling
from the hand or table, thereby avoiding
all danger of exploding from these fruit
tul causes.

THE MOUND.
The subject of purchasing tho "mound'
has, understand, been under consider
alton By the Board of Directors of the
to be used as base for n
for the prison water works. AS
our town is not in condition financial.
y to own this celebrated monument TO
he industry and perseverance, OF an ex-
.lnct race, 1t is certainly meet that it
should be purchased by the State, es-
peCially as it can be utilized 10 such an
evident advantage TO the interest of the
State for the purpose suggested. Its
summit being about on level with the
roof of the Wsrden's building, reservoir
placed thereon of sufficient capacity TO
supply the demands Of the prison, water
IAN be carried TO every part of the
thereby guarding not only
against danger from fire. but also, 10
great extent, from contagious diseases, as
4 far greater degree Of cleanliness will
DO thereby attained, as it Is impossible
10 carry oil the large amount of impure
lies and disease engendering ofal
incident to an institution of that
kind. From conversation with q
number of practical and intelligent
gentlemen upon the subject, am salts
led that the Board OF Directors would
but 'subserve the best interests OF the
State by at once making the purchase
and erecting, at as early day as prac-
.icase, the necessary works TO insure q
supply OF water, either from
he river or Wolf" spring, as they
IN their judgment may deem best, as
he several abortive attempts TO procure
\ supply adequate TO the increased de-
nands from wells within the enclosure
have fully demonstrated the ,falIacy Of
upon that source.

'penitentisry bird" attached to him snd
furnished with the pitiful sum of five

his far distant home. Rather discour-
aging prospect it appears to me.
