ties, and the last of family Of FIVE,
three brothers and two sisters, who
have all died within the past FIVE years
and whose average age exceeded
eighty-ive. Stephen Nettles, the faith
er of this family, and the grandfather

After the heavy rain yesterday we
noticed a quantity of water standing
on the sidewalk and ont in the street,
between the premises of DR.. Richard
son and Mrs. Burgess. 1t was impos-
sible to pass this place without wad~
ing in water over ankle deep, and we
think the town council might devise
some means to carry this water of,
even if they are compelled to dig a
ditch through private property. BY
going to the expense Of buying terra
Gotta piping the water could be carri-
en- off and no ditch would be exposed.
Gentlemen of the council, give this
matter your attention; it is much
needed.
