The Scientific American In answer to Q
correspondent gives some facts regarding
water pipes which NAL be Of value to our
readers. 1t says:-''The safest pipes are
those of plain iron. Galvanized iron pipes
should not be used for conducting drinking
water, as the zinc dissolves and the water
c%outainirg 1t is poisonous. We have here
tofore published ceoun OF fatal results
from the use Of such galvanized iron pipes
In the vicinity of Boston, Mass. In the case
Of our correspondent perhaps the length Of
| his pump pip is so small that bad results
would not ensue, provided care is taken not
to use the water that has been standing for
any length OF time 10 the pipe"

The court expressed . willingness to do oil
In its power to furnish the road, but told tbs

done according to law, and that, therefore,
it wo uld first be necessary to have . petition
TOR q particular road, then the county could
have sucn road viewed and reported On by
the county surveyor. The committee will,
accordingly. Immediately, or - quickly u

decision Of the court. II 30 tho other de
clsion Of the court, that Mr.. Ciasett 10 d
faeto register, and Mould be respected n
such, should bear the same weight aud mss,
with the sam respect Is by the same au
thority II Mr.. Turner'S friends nnd II
hard that he should be excluded because o
the Illegally Of the October election, Mr.
Clsgett's friends esn retort that 1t would b,
just as hard on him to be displaced when b.
was really elected by the legal vot,rs Ii
June. The equities Of the case, tbs morali
" Of the case, lies In the fact OF who va
elected by lawful votes In June. This cal
only be determined now by . trial on tn
merits of the case in April. II, As 10 snssr
tngIs int,msted, there were illegal votes cas-
for Mr.. Clagett, let them be shown up
There has Usen no effort go far to prove any
thing OF the sort. However this may be
until the case is tried, as the court ha
promised to try 1t, why should there be a.,
wraDgling or contention about IT.
