Messrs. Steve Hawkes. and John Perry
recently dug we'll on the RECORD home-
stead, northeast of town. At depth Of
sixty nine feet flow was struck, and
within 40 minutes there were 8 feet of water
in the WE'LL Several hours work failed
to lower it. As it was desired to curb
the we'll with stone, and the water was too
deep to begin at the bottom, two oil bar
rels and half of another barrel, minus
heads, were nailed together by pieces of
scantling and sunk in the middle of the
we'll. Then "nlgger-heads'' were drop
ped IN and tamped around the barrels
with piece of timber, to within two feet
of the surface of the water. Walling was
begun from that foundation, aud, now
being finished, it appears as solid and subs
.stantial as though built in the usual
manner. This experience is given with
the hope that it may in future help some
other chap cut of similar dilemma.
