Telegraphic Matter.

Our latest correspondence, May 16, 1888,
brings to us the narrative of Henry B. Ingram,
the general superintendent of the District Mes
senger Company of New Haven, Conn. Mr..
Ingram says: For many months had been
sorely troubled with a weak and tired feeling
across the lolns, almost invariably accompanied
with headache. I had noticed also that at
stated periods following these pains my urine
would be highly colOred, and leave q heavy

couraged to an alarming degree. Nothing helped

A bihous-looking pamphlet of some hun
bred or more pages is at hand, bearing the
title 'Dio Lewis's Monthly" The unhealthy
color of the cover is in measure antidoted
by coarse oatmeal type in the body of the
magazine. it having much the appearance of
the nursery department of some Juvenile
publication. The few cuts used as illustra
tons of the text are such as might be chop

There is nothing in this MAGAZINE that will
harm the reader beyond making him awful

The August Wide Awake, that charming
magazine for the young folks, is bright with
numerous handsome illustrations. The
principal attractions are an illustrated ac-
count of the lights of Paris, "A Castle in

handsomely. The number is unusually good,

There has been some excitement among
farmers of this and adjoining counties in re-

manded of them recently on account of
their use of a certain tube in the ground
called driven we'll" A number OF
farmers had this kind of well
driven on their premises some years ago,
but within a month or two agents have
notified them all that this method of getting
water from the ground is an infringement of
the patent obtained by Nelson Green in 1866.
Some farmers are inclined to pay the royalty
demanded, while others are disposed to allow
the matter to be settled by the courts. There
are several hundreds of these wells in Greene.

patent, they have doubtless done so under some
other patent. There are, as understand, quite
a number of patents, and have no idea that
