The editor Of tie democratic weekly pub
lishe6 in this city, a short time since fur
nished the startling news that there are
springs which produce 5000, 900 gallons OF
water per day on the farm Of farmer in
the town of Starksboro, and he asked :
Nlx,,, hi. ,it y 10 r.,
are that the half dozen ,prngs and the
brook on the farm, taken together, yield on
an average about Sl5, 600 gallons OF water
every "a hours--qulte different thing
from G. 900, 900 gallons. That the springs
are large ia conceded, but 1000, 600 gallons
per day are required to supply the city
with water for general purposes and furnish
adequate protection in case OF fire. 1t is
hoped that the democratic editor will not
spring any more such exaggerated state
nlents upon tho public.
