their attendants go into the stores, will
result, sooner or later, in a serious accl-
dent. This morning, coach containing

store, on Union street, and some motion
of the child, probably, started the coach
down the slant of the pavement and
emptied the baby into the gutter. For

AT the poor house farm that Mercer
county recently purchased, about three
miles below this city, an artesian well has
been sunk, and on Monday last depth Of
$50 feet had been reached. The curious
formation of the earth there has been
shown by these borings. The boring Of
the first 800 feet was driven through red
shale rock, then through So feet Of dark
soft substance, then through 275 feet Of
red shale rock, then through about 20
feet of good building sand. At this point
the drill caught fast and the rope broke,
leaving the drill there. 1t is feared that
1t cannot again be recovered. tits thought
that the well win supply sufficient water
at the present depth. The cost Of the
we'll we are informed, was for the FIRST
800 feet IS per foot; after that, 50 per
foot.
We will handle full line OF Califor-
