Worms In the Water.

MEssRs. EDITORS Perhaps you may
not, as we'll as some of your readers, be
aware of the fact that there exists in our
city water pipes great number Of worms,
some of them an eighth of an inch,
and many of half to three.quarters Of an
inch in length. They are of light brown
color, and look like the common house
centipede or Thousand legs" they are
very lively too, and disgusting to look at
as they wriggle around in the water.
For the past week or more We have had
cloth tied over the mouth of the spiggot,
and when removed every evening We find
from one dozen to three dozen of this
vermin.
Perhaps some of your numerous readers
would like TO know the above facts, as

die.
John Schmitt, a German aged "a years,
attempted to commit suicide by jumping
from the top of Winners bridge into the
Conestoga creek, this morning between
and 10 o'clock. He jumped from the
top Of the wall, at point nearest to the
west end and where it is between 80 aud
40 feet above the water. He landed in
about two feet of water and then crawled
to the shore, where he was found. He was
unable to walk as he had no use whatever
of his legs. He was hauled to the county
hospital where DIR. G.. II. Welchans attend.
cd him, upon examination it was found that
the man had his back and legs injured,
although no bones were broken. When
our reporter saw him he was lying at the
hospital and although he was enduring
some pain he seemed to be comfortable.
Schmitt landed in this country in 1871,
and of late he has been tramping around
the country. Fifteen days ago be was
committed to prison, probably for drunk
eness, although he says he had himself sent
out to get out of the cold. This morning
he walked out to the bridge and
he says, as he has been greatly troubled of
late, he concluded TO put an end to his life
by jumping over the bridge. When he
touched the water, however, he quickly
'pullei for the shorc' and did not give
himself much time to pass away from this
sunny cline. When Schmitt was asked
how high it was at the place where he
jumped, he said "Well found when l
landed that it was higher than supposed
it was when started from the top" The
man told several persons that he was tired
Of living and he no doubt thought he could
die easily in that way. When he found that
the water was not deep and that he had
received a wetting, he probably came to
his senses and thought better of this
world
