 The artesian well at the state farm has reached depth of 17O feet and the re- quired quantity of water is not reached. Water will find its level in wells with the source from which it is supplied, and in this case a much greater depth may be necessary before supply is found. It is believed that another large appropriation will be called for from the state to meet the large expenditures at that institution. Some time the tax payers will call a halt in lavish expenditures.

Among the stories they tell O1 DluH old Gilman Marston of New Hampshire, who died Thursday. are these: He was badly wounded in the arm at Bull Run, but re- fused to have the member amputated, tho the surgeons told him his life depended upon that operation. He insisted upon being placed upon his horse, and was led to the front amid cheers from the s'boys" of his regiment He once refused to allow his troops to board an overloaded trans port because he had ssbrought those men from New Hampshire to fight, not to be drowned" The orders of . tyrannical su- perior to build guard house without so much as crack in it, !" he obeyed literally, solid logs being so much used that there was not even door to enter by. On one occasion he coolly walked along parapet, under 8 terrible fire of shot and shell, that he might inspire wavering brigade of his own reinsurance.

At meeting of the Norwich court of common council Monday evening, the po- lice commissioners reported favorably up- on .an anti h-policy ordinance. The police commissioners said that, while some so- cietles might think the law bore rather hard on them the commissioners could see no way to exclude them from it's penalties without opening wide door through which policy players could escape. They there fore recommend that the ordinance be passed as it is. Alderman Pratt explained the ordinance. He said "A good many people want to know what this ordinance hits. It hits everything in the way of lotteries. It is is the habit hereabouts if a man has an old COW he wants to get rid of, he goes to the printing office, gets tickets printed and disposes of her at so much a ticket. It puts stop to all this business. It includes all societies. None could be ex- cluded without giving the policy players a chance to dodge the law" The police commissioners report was unanimously accepted and the ordinance unanimously passed. The ordinance was framed by the board of trade.

To SHOW how essentially requisite it is
that the democratic bill now before Con-
gress to straighten the crookedness of U. 3
court officers in the South, it is only neces-
sary to mention the fact that in the U. S.
court at Richmond yesterday, it was
developed that the foreman of the grand
iury that had indicted some of the most
reputable democratic gentlemen of that
city, on trumped up charges of election
offenses, was the very identical man who as
u. s. commissioner had issued all the war
rants against the parties referred to, and
had actually sworn out one of them. Is it
any wonder that all the respect people once
had for U. S. courts, the highest courts in
the land, should have been dissipated?

THE ABsURDITY OF the republican Idea of
giving bounties to sugar planters and to ship
owners strikes the most casual observer at q
glance; for why, in free and equal country,
should the government pHy Louisiana
farmer for raising sugar, but tax Virginia
farmer for raising tobacco or why pay ship
owners but tax the owners ofrallroads? But
the bounty system is only the protective tar
if system without disguise, for by the latter
the government plumbers ninety per cent. OF
the people of the country in order to in
crease the profits of the remaining ten per
cent.
