The Water Works.

While the mass of citizens Of Westminster
subscribed for water and were anxious for its
introduction, few were Indifferent and did
not believe the works would be built. The
latter must have their doubts removed now,
for not only have operations been commenced,
but have far advanced, and about the hrst OF
next month water will be turned on IN the city.
On the piece of ground purchased of Thos.
Turtle, a pool 100 feet in diameter and from
three to four feet deep has been built with a
capacity of about 100000 gallons. Water
from five or six springs are piped to the pool;
The arrangements are such the water is turned
into a small WELL and if it is clear it is then
turned into another well, from thence 1t is
conducted to the pool. If not clear, 1t IS
turned into a stream that runs into the mill
dam below. Col. Taylor, however, does not
expect to have any muddy water when all the
work at and near the pool is completed.
Screens now prevent impurities from entering
the pipes. The water was turned INTO the
pool this week, and was filled in y hours.
The pool holds a weeks supply for the city.
Some DELAY has been occasioned by lack of
labor and in getting pipe. This has now
been overcome. The engine and boiler will
be put up at once, and hands will be put to
work to understanding and clearing up the
grounds. The sides of the pool will be RIP
raped, the banks will be grass covered, and
a fence will be erected on the top. Seats, in
time, will DE put in the shade surrounding,
and it will be a pleasant resort.
Trenches are being dug, and on Monday
pipe laying will be commenced. The force
will be greatly increased next week, and the
work pushed along rapidly.
The reservoir will be placed upon piece
of land purchased of Mr.. Charles L. ReltsnI-
der, which is nearly as high as Mitten's hill,
and the natural fall, it is claimed, will force
the water as high as the roof of Western Ma
ryland College.

A Gala Day.
[Reported for the Democratic Advocate !

/ theported tor the Democratic Advocate
Uniontown has for some six or eight months
boosted of a society of young Ladies', who
gave themselves the odd name of Ladies of
the Square Table. They meet once week,
each Lady doing any fancy or plain work
while one entertains, and a great deal has
been accomplished in this way. The Ladies
edit small paper called The Table Dfd,Dey.
Some time ago they announced to their
friends they were going to give Garden
Party, and eighty five invitations issued brought
seventy-fve guests. 1t was held on the lawn
OF Mr.. Ed. Christ, near Unontown, on the
evening and night of June 30th The Ladies'
were prcttily dressed and wore appropriate
badges. At o clock the guests were invited
to surround square table that accommodated
fifty persons, to partake of all that was richly
and bountifully spread. After the offering of
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Cochel, DIR. Weaver
extended an address of welcome for the La
dies. He not only called their attention to
the table the Ladies had furnished for the
guests, but to the Table who had not thought
all OF adjoining themselves in fine apparel and
costly jewels, but had endeavorcd to attain
something higher; of storing the mind with
knowledge and the hands with useful work.
He spoke of them fitting themselves to grace
| the homes OF the young men in q beautiful
way. He then invited them in the name of
the Ladies to heartily partake of all before
them.
After the supper the scene was one of I'M
usual brightness, the lawn was lighted up with
fancy colored lanterns that contrasted beauti-
fully with the white and graceful figures of
young girls on the arms Of their gentleman
friends.
The Uniontown Cornet Band kindly favored
the Ladies with their good music and enliven-
/ ed the whole entertainment A bouquet was
given to Mrs. Christ and DIR. Weaver. Moth
ing occurred to mar the pleasure of the eve
ming and at 1O4 clock the guests departed
and the lawn was stripped of its brightness.
Of the three prettiest ladies, one was Lady
of the Table. Every one enjoyed it and pro-
nounced it grand success. The Ladies were
highly commended.

The Result of Prohibition in Maine

From the Brunswick Telegraph:
ANYBODY who knows anything about the
drinking habits of the people Of Maine to-day
knows that liquor is drunk in parlors, in OF,
fees of law and medicine, and to limited
extent in the studies of the clergy, in kitchens
and workshops, in the cars, on steamboats,,
and, if one wishes to observe, he will lind
that travellers by every means of conveyance
in the State take the poison with them. The
express companies bring tinto the State upon
every arrival for private consumption, and
considerable which escapes detection goes into
sale in some smaller country towns. In many
of the cities and some of the larger towns the
sale is free in bars and saloons, not IN open
defiance of law, for that statute which public
opinion does not support is no law at all, and
cannot aud never will be entored. he soon
err this fact is recognized the better 1T Will be
for the cause of temperance, which IS advo-
Gated upon sensible grounds only by the bet
ter representatives of the reform clubs.
1t is no pleasure to US to report such a state
of things, but SO far as our observation eX-
tends we know our statements to be true. We
detest deception, let it come in where it may
and Neal Dow is so committed to prohlblnon
that he wouldn't tell the truth if he could, and
he couldn't if he would, upon the subject OF
enforcement in this State We don't assert
that some strictly temperance communities
cannot be found in Maine, but we do assert
that rum is in far too general use all over the
State, and we know that some OF the pest
temperance men here regretfully admit TINS
statement.
