Kipfit IN tho Use OF Water.

Tho Legal Adviser gives to its read
ers somc information respecting water
rights, which has been source OF great
trouble and much litigation. 1t Is a
generous principle, says tho writer, that
every owner of land upon a natural
stream Of water has right to use tho
water for any reasonable purpose not in
consistent with similar right in the
owners Of the land above, below and
opposite to him. 1Io may take the
water to supply his dwelling, TO irri-
gate his land, or to quench the thirst
of his cattle; to use it for manufactur-
ing purposes, such as tho supplying oil
steam boilers or the running Of water
wheels or other hydraulic works, so long
as such uso does not sensibly and in
juriously affect its volume. But this is
mere privilege running with the land,
not property in the water itself.
Where tie stream il small, and docs
not supply water moro than sufficient to
answer the wants Of the different pro-
prictors living on the stream, none OF
tho proprietors ca1 use tho water for
either irrigation or manufactur-
ing, but for domestic purposes and
watering stock oac proprietor will be
justified in consuming all the water.
Twenty years use adverse to the
right of another will give the person so
using the stream the right to continue
tho use, regardless of tho others
rights
And as to the division of water,
every one who owns land situ-
ated upon q stream has the following
rights:
1. To the natural flow of the stream.
Q. That it shall continue to run in its
accustomed channels.
8. That it shall flow upon his land
in its usual quantity, natural place and
usual height.
4. That it shall flow off his land
upon the land of his neighbor be-
low, in accustomed place and at the
usual level.
These rights he has as an incident to
the property in his land, and he cannot
DO deprived of it by grant or descrip-
tion. ....
In any one shall mako any change in
the natural flow of a stream, to the ma
terial in jury OF any owner situated upon
it, or by any interference shall prevent
the stream from flowing as it was wont
to flow, he is res sponsible for the dam
age he may occasion. These rights are
subject to the privilege OF each one to
mako reasonable use of the water upon
his own, land while il is passing along
the same. 1t matters not what the
source Of tho water may be, whether il
be back water or tn, fowage OF the
same, or the water of another stream.
Still, tho division of stream may bt
made by any one, if it be returned te
its natural channel before it leaves the
premises.

been earned SO pleasantly and that would
open to her new way to earn an honest
living.

On Tuesday evening last the large
Court House Hall was crowded to
its utmost capacity, and it was our
pleasure to be one of the large NUN
Der who had assembled there to
enjoy the entertainment given by the
Edenton Graded School
At $50 o'clock the curtain rose and
the first glance at the many pupils as
they stood on the rostrum, SO neatly
and tastefully dressed, and faces
beaming with smiles, convinced one
of the efficient and faithful work of
the trainers Of these youthful minds.
The exercises consisted of music,
declarations, &c, and it seems that
all were pleased beyond their expec
tations. Some of our Oldest citizens
say that it was the best of the kind
they have ever seen in Edenton.
The boys, of whom there was very
large number; did so we'll that we

quartette the exercises closed, and
the universal verdict was that it was
a highly creditable affair.

The funds for building this Hall to

reason to congratulate themselves

The large attendance upon the recent
closing exercises and entertainments
of both schools and the creditable
wav in which the pupils acquitted
themselves attest the appreciation Of
the public and the efficient work that
is being done. A most commendable
feature connected with the entertain
ment given by the Graded School on
Tuesday evening last, was the fact
that the entire net proceeds are to be
used for repairing and improving
the Academy building. This matter
ought especially to impress itself
upon the people of our town, and
may we not hope that it will Impress
them to such an extent as tha5 the
sentiment expressed by Mr.. Williams
to build Music Hall shall end only
in reality.
