Capt. Charles Spear, who. for the past five
years, has been connected with the Eastern
Railroad, has resigned his position on that road
to become the st. John general agent of the
Provincial and New England all rail line. He
is an active business man, we'll acquainted

win act as his assistant. Mr.. w. was once
clerk of one of the Sanford steamers. The
agency will be established in the central part

dwelling on the impurities of the Kennebec,
Mr.. Shorey is entirely oblivious to the pres
ence of the frogs and toads, worms and lizards,
muskrats and minks, and other vermin which
inhabit the grounds and ponds from which the
present supply of water for the institution is
the comparative purity of the water drained
from the two sources? And yet it is not upon
the quality of the water I would lay stress as
upon the utter lack of water during portion
of the year.
Mr.. Shorey admits that at least 20, 900 gal
Ions of water is demanded daily, for the
healthful running of the institution. "For
lavatory purposes, cooking, and especially for
the thorough cleansing of the vast la byrinth of
pipes employed for carrying off the sewage of
the building" he says fully this amount is
needed. Without it ''the proper ventilation
of the halls would be found to be impossible, .
to the truth of which we are ready to bear un.
equivocal testimony; and yet those who are ac-
quainted with the facts at the institution will
inform him that during several weeks of the
dry season in 1878 not tenth part of this
amount of water could be had, while for two
months during the summer and fall of 1886
none at all could be had even for lavatory and
bathing purposes, only what was carried into
the institution in pals by the help. Mr.. Sho'
rey says he regards the hospital water works
as mo failure, but a grand success" Is the
For days and weeks the bathing of the pa
tients was almost entirely suspended, while
the iron, arising from the impurities of the
labyrinth OF pipes," Of which Mr.. S. speaks
was anything but agreeable or healthful.
Those of the patients whose condition abso
lutely demanded ablution were bathed, but
only with water furnished in the manner de-
scribed above. From twelve to fifteen female
attendants, and perhaps larger number Of
male attendants, carried water up into the sec
ond and third halls for the above purposes
L rom three to six times a day. One girl, and
not very strong girl either, kept an account
OF the number of pals she carried into the
third story after the 25th of August, and they
amounted to fue hundred. Mr.. Shorey aided
in the erection of the present method of sup
plying water for the use of our hospital Does
he regard the above ''as no failure, but grand
uccess?'
But Mr.. Shorey says that last year was al
unusually dry season, and hence, the failure o.
the water So may next year, or the next, bt
even worse and more disastrous terms in thi.
respect. Hence the wisdom, as we say above
Of utilizing the Kennebec as soon as circum
stances may permit, which win end all trouble
for water and extinguish nearly all dread o
fire.
