carrying the water up for their own
personal use.
At first l tried to raise the water sup

plumber who put it up was not the one
from whom l bought it, and so 1t never
worked. We then tried horsepower,
but the ground was so elevated on one

Last winter filled an icehouse in one
day with good thick ice, which shows
that we have good all the year round

This country is full Of hounds-not
the foxhound Of Chestnut Hill, Phlla-
delphia, but the plebeian hound with q
