ELOUSAS, PARISH OF ST. LA, SEPTEMBER 1885,
Our Artesian Well.

But for, the unusual rains we have
had we Ger not know what we could
have dofg for water. Luckily for us
we had no coptlagrations. The els
terms have been kept constantly sup
piled with rain water and therefore we
have not suffered. The artesian we'll
seems to have been abandoned, not a
lick has been struck on it for several
months and We see no indication of in
tentlon to renew the work. We know
not why this is so and are sorry it is so.
We need the well. If the original con
tract for boring it has fallen through,
why don't the authorities make new
oneg The water is a necessity for
man and beast, and should n fire ever
break out in the heart of the town
when there is any wind to watt it
about, our people will wish they had
given more attention to the water sup
ply. Of what avail is steam fire en-
gine with no water? Aside from this
we need the water for drinking pur-
poses. We may and possibly will
have cholera among us, and every one
knows it is communicated through the
water we drink, as much, if not more
than by other means. Hence it is that
physicians advise us to drink boiled
water, and that in small quantities
only. We think that water bubbling
up from thousand feet in the earth,
might be more certainly free from the
injecting germ of Cholera. than even
water boiled We may be permitted
to suggest to our Police Jury that if the
old body deemed an artesian we'll ad-
visable, it should with force of reason
regard it as a necessity now. Let us
have the we'll.

and had given to her four interesting little
children. Mrs Boyd was SO years of age. She

Church, having for years been engaged in
teaching in the Sunday School. She was also
engaged in various benevolent enterprises,
being for two years President of the Woman's
Relief Corps OF Custer Post, No. 6, G. A: R.
She stood deservedly high among her friends
for her great kindness of heart and the sweet
ness and amability of her general demeanor.
The funeral services were conducted at Union
Square NJ. f. Church, Saturday morning at ] 1
o'clock, by her Pastor, Rev. NJ. F. b. Rice, who
spoke beautifully and feelingly of the pure
character and true worth of the deceased. She
has gone to her reward and her work has the
approval of the Great Judge of all The pail
bearers were Samuel NJ. Webb, brother III. S.
Huff, William and Archie Henderson, brothers

MICHAEIsvILLE, May 10.-Our farmers are
beginning to plant corn and if nothing inter
feres will have large acreage.
Mr.. Cornelius Cole has two wheat fields,
which although not sown until after the 18th
of October, cannot be eXcelled. He plants
the red and the Fultz, the former ON the low
and the latter on the high land to prevent
either from falling down when grown very
rank. Mr.. Cole is an industrious farmer and
Gamer. Should the farmers club run in on
him unexpectedly they will not find him I'M
prepared.
MIR. Charles W. Baker has on his Level
stock farm some fine trotters, and his herd of
yearlings is as fine any in the county. Mr..
George Sheares is his manager.
Mr.. Marion Malcolm is engaged in mcnding
his section of the public road from the Cor
ner House to Garrettson's church and better
travelling may be expected in the future.
Messrs. C.. w. Friedman, John DitZel and
James Wilmer are among the farmers who
are planting corn. The early bird catches the
worm. JIM SANK.

sultation, agreed to comply with the request
of the petitioners, provided those interested

priated, which was $50 for each section

LAPIDUM, May 7.-On Thursday last 30 or
40 ladies and gentlemen from the neighbor-
hood of Level drove to Lapidum, where the
little steamer Benigna, Capt. Holm, was in
waiting to receive them, and were conveyed
to the fishing float of Spencer Bros, where the
day was spent i'll a pleasant manner. The
operation of hauling the seine was observed
and the party had a shad-balle on board the
float Arrangements for the affair were made
by Messrs. E. II. Foard, George Walker, +. A.
Baldwin and George l.. Delaney.
On the Friday previous number of Old
Town, Baltimore, business men under the
guidance of Mcssrs. E. H., J.. W. and A. X.
Foard spent the day on Mr. Jarrett Spencer's
float The party was met at Port Deposit by
the steamer Benigna and taken to the float,
where they enjoyed Mr.. Spencer's hearty hos
pitality and spent one of the pleasantest days
of their lives. The process of hauling the
seine was a novel one to most of the visitors,
and the shad-bake, with accompaniment
provided by themselves, was pronounced
superior to Delmonico or Rennert. The part
consisted of Messrs Charles Wambach, Louis
Kleinheim, j. +. Bassler, E. B. Harris, w. I.
Sagle, August Stemen, A. r. Foard, Louis,

INJURED WHILE PLAYING WITH GUNPow-
DER.-Last winter men were employed near
Union school house, Dublin district, in blast
ing logs apart with powder. One of the blasts,
probably from being tightly tamped, blew a
hole through the under side of large log,
leaving the tamping in its place. On Mon
day of last week some school boys removed
the tamping from the hole, which they filled
with gunpowder. One of them, Outerbridge
Huff, aged ~ years, son of Mr.. A 4. Huff, of
Prospect, lighted match and dropped itupon
the gunpowder. An explosion took place and
the powder flashed in the lads face, injuring
him severely. DR.. Silas Scarboro attended to
his injuries and it is feared he will lose his eye
sight
