The filtenng medium, consisting of re-
charcoal and gravel, is arranged
according to strictly scientific principles,
and an experience of years in the business.
The upper pan retains all the grosser par
ticles of foreign matter contained IN the
water, and can he easily cleaned from
time to time. From the upper pan the
water flows through the perfOrations into
filtering medium, through which it slowly
filters INTO the reservoir beneath. If. after
a few years, the fltering medium becomes
unfit for use, a small expense replaces IT

Sarry.
Mr.. Editor:
In the last AMERICAN the Surry cores
pendent SAYS "At the annual town meet
ing voted to give 800 TO the horse that
backed of the bridge. Orders are emboss-
ed with Treasury empty and $4,000 worth
outstanding"
We presume the vote referred to was the
one taken and recorded by the clerk as fol-
lows: Voted 500 to Josiah Cunningham
for damages caused TO himself, wife and
team by accident. at Morgan's bay bridge"
bu, in town where you have men that call
themselves sensible, that can't tell the diff
ference between ammonia and whiskey,
would it have been ANYTHING strange if they
had voted TO pay the horse instead of the
man?
In regard to the orders, by the auditors
report, made at the last annual meeting, We
had about $1,000 in outstanding orders. AT
the same time we had assets in the shape Of
uncolected taxes, tax deeds, money due
from towns and $3.50 cash in the treasury.
Enough, or nearly so. to pay them. But we
were not aware that the orders referred to
were sembossed," if so we would inquire if
the orders drawn number of years ago to
paw the r. Trundy note were embossed, and
how, and If the duplicate orders we're en-
bossed the same as the original? We make
this inquiry as we never saw the orders but
