The Water Company.

Workmen at Deering have been busy the
past week in finishing laying the water pipe.
They encountered a hard ledge just at the
turn of the corner and were unable to quite
finish the job on Saturday night, but only a
few hours work remain to be done. The pipe
is laid to the head of Ocean street, which is as
far as it is intended to carry it this fall. AL
ready three of the citizens of the place have
had supply pipes put in, and doubtless more
will soon follow. The new main from the Lake
will be completed into Portland this week.

self and its numerous and drapidly-increasin
patrons. The managers of THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN were gratfled with the success
of their double-sheet enterprise, and its
patrons seemed equally pleased with the
effort, and hence, we were credulous enough
to believe that everything was lovely and
serene. But, alas we find we were mis-
taken. The Sunday Chronicle swoops down
upon all double-sheet enterprises in
this city with eagle ferceness but harm
less impotence. Indeed, it fairly froths and
slops over with eflervescing spite and
unkind words, aimed at the enterprise
of its neighbors. This is pretty bad but
we are Mt loss to see what our Sunday
cotemporory is TO do about 1t, except to in-
dulge in its unfragrant growls, which must

occurs under the strange freaks in the pecu-

dispositions. Some people must be envious,
spiteful and mean. They can no more help
that than they can the color of their skin,
eyes and hair. So we suppose these in
firmities of disposition must be borne as we
bear the rheumatism or endure any other
OF the ills flesh is heir to. The deformities
of character or form are always uncomely
to the sight and taste, but of needs in this
world offenses must come, and they
usually excite wonder that the ways of
the Creator are so inscrutible in the crea-
tion of the human kind.
We are ut loss to understand why the
Sunday Chronicle, which is so uniformity
stamped with a marked frugality Of ability,
enterprise and success, should be so opulent
in that which is contemplate and despic-
able, and which renders it n sort of barnaclc
on the character of journalism. If our Sun
day cotemporary will evince some enterprise
within its own management, secure some
telegrnphic news TO enliven its dreary col
ums, and cultivate some of the graces which
adorn journalism, it may possibly elevate
itself to plane above that which brings il

useless life. 1t will not be missed or wept
