quire the said executor to give additional
bond, with security in penalty sufficient
TO secure the interests Of all the distribu
tees or legatees entitled to take as aforesaid,
and conditioned accordingly; and on his
failure TO give bond or bonds as aforesaid,

When the contractors arc paid for all work
done on the new aqueduct tunnel, work on
which was suspended jan 81, there will be
81 500 available cash remaining. This money
will be used to pump water from the tunnel to
keep II from filling. as this would be very dis.
astrOus ut the present state of the work. If
Congress does not appropriate money within q
month the available cash will be exhausted,
and there will be no means to keep the tunnel
from tilling up. The only question seems to
be whether the present contractors should go
on with the work or the bids should be again
called for. a great many men are thrown out
