During the bitter cold weather of Tues.

ed liz front Of Borton & Andrews drug

without blanket or covering of any kind.
Indignation at the cruel treatment of a
faithful animal was so aroused within him
that be at once endeavored to find the
owner of the team, making inquiries in
several places, but to no avail, and finally
ordered the animal housed in the hotel
sheds. As the hostler approached to take
charge of the team, the owner, a young
man living near Woodstown, who had
probably been told of the occurrence, came
up, hurriedly unhitched and drove off, but
MOI before the citizen had impressed on his
mind in most forcible language his opinion
of any one who would needlessly leave a
horse exposed to the weather in such a
manner. A man must be devoid of all
humane Instincts to so ~ill-treat the. faithful
animals under his care, and the S. p. G. A.
agent should make an example of such.

The workmen are still operating on the
we'll. They are down from $50
to 400 feet and are hopeful of a liberal sup
ply Of good water. Ii it don't flow on its
owl accord it is said that a pump can be
used to bring it up, as is used in many
places. When they had bored down about
$40 feet or more they struck what seemed
to be a wood pile, and knowing they were
in strange land thought it possible they
may have come in contact with the kim
ding wood which the operator of Old
Nick's'' dominion had stacked away for
use when his fires run low. The opera tors
halted in fear for a time, not knowing how
soon they might get into the heart OF the
city Of fire and birthstone. Hearing OF
this we inwardly hoped they might strike
the ceiling of the aforesaid settlement, in
undate it with water, put out the fires,
and force the corporation into bankruptcy
and out of business. We suggested this
hope to Mayor Richman, but he said he
wished they might get through without
interference and possibly save an expen-
sive lawsuit which might be brought for
damages, but most of all he thought the
place ought to be kept in operation for the
benefit of Wocdstown, if for no other
purpose.
