someone attempted TO get into Capt.
Parkcrs Smiths store ON Sunday night by
removing a piece from the hack door,
which was done by boaring circle of
holes in the door and then breaking out
the piece. II is presumed the party made
u miscalculation as To where the bar Of
the door was located rs no evidence Of his
having entered the building have been
discovered and the hole was considerable
distance below the bar Perhaps he was
frightened of before he had time io make
an entrance.

DIR. Dixon. of Cambridge. is more ex.
per, IN finding good frcsl, water than any
other gentleman in this section. Before
digging well the Doctor always tests
the quality of the water at the place de.
sired by boring. lie uses for this u com.
mon two.inch anger with u shank eight
or ten fee, long. With this II takes very
little time To sink a two.inch well 10 the
desired depth, making il easy to sample
the water and view the kind of earth the
proposed well will strike. In this way
much hard labor and expensive digging is
avcricd. The Doctor thinks the common
soap test of water Ms good rs any. II wa.
ter fathers and foams nicely, he says il,
rarely tails TO be first class In all respects.
Let our readers take u lessen from the
Doctors experience. -tambridye .Nen'.
