Salt For Wells.

If any of our subscribers have
wells that are falling in water a I'd
will put q pint of salt in their
wells they will find an increase OF
water within twenty-four hours,
says the Green Hazel Herald.
We do not know the philosophy
of the matter, but several instances
here in town, where the experiment
has been tried, demonstrate beyond
a doubt the effiacy of exper-
iment. Dr.. Nickel, Emery James,
the editor of this paper, AID others
have used salt for this purpose and
can testify as TO the result. The
two first named found an increase
OF one foot of water in their wells
within twenty-four hours, and MIR.
James says he never knew the
remedy TO fail to produce good
results. A little salt properly
applied will convince the most
skeptical, and we hope all who are
sufsringa short supply of water
will Try it.-EX.

Property Owners Will be Compelled to
 Move Back Fences.
 The greater part of the meeting of the board of selectmen last evening was devoted to a hearing on tine Fulton street matter. In 1885 Fulton street was laid out, and since that time the property owners along the street have been encroaching on the layout by placing their fences over the street line. A movement is now on foot to have the fences moved back and the original lay out restored.
 A hearing on the matter was accord ingly held last evening and the proper ty owners who will be affected by the moving of fences appeared. The ma- jority are in favor of preserving the street line. Those who appeared in fa- vor last evening were ex-Judge Shell don, Samuel A. York, jr., and George Hitchcock. Mary A. Niles and Mrs. Mary Hughes objected to the moving of fences.
 Chairman Kelly of the committee which investigated the dispute concern ing the fence between Nos 20 and 24 Palmer street, reported that the com mittee recommended that MT. Morliss should build his share of the fence.
 Chairman Ludington presented map and plan for new curb line on Town send avenue. The hearing on the Full ton street matter was continued until next Tuesday evening.

 Neither did I say that I would not enforce the continuance of the strike for ten days, as passed by the national convention. I am not judge in this matter, no matter what my own opin- ion may be- That will be for the min CTS delegates to say when they meet in convention tomorrow"

England Preparing to Crush the Tribes
 men on the Indian Frontier.


 Simla, Sept. 14.-There are now 59,00O men and 90 guns, including Maxims, mobilzed on the frontier and in the garrisons. Everything is ready for the advance upon Shabkadr The men are In splendid condition.
 The lower Mohmands, on the border are anxious to submit to any terms, but the main body is still determined to fight It is reported that the Mullah of Hadda has failed to raise the gath ering he expected and will retire to Tirah
 Fort Gulistan is still hard pressed by the enemy. In a sortie the garrison succeeded in capturing three standards. The column of General Yeatman- Biggs was due to arrive there this morning.
 The principal difficulty which the Mohmands punitive expedition has en- countered thus far is in getting stores and transport animals to the front. The entire railway between Peshawur and Merut is practically blocked from lack of locomotives. Long lines of loaded trucks are waiting to be for warded. All the available trains are being used to hurry the troops to the front.
 Sir Pertab Hingh, Maharajah of Pa tiala, has arrived at Peshawur
 General Yeatman-Biggs, advancing along the Samana ridge to the relief of Fort Gulistan, found the enemy en- trenched in considerable force in the Gozera hills.
 The third Gurkha regiment stormed the position. One Sepoy was killed and five were wounded.
 General Yeatman-B -Biggs has relieved Sangar, one of the posts on the Sama- ma Ridge, which had been hotly at tackled. The garrison had made a sor- tie and captured the standard.
 A mounted messenger was sent on by General Yeatman-Biggs to inform the garrison at Fort Gulistan that re- lief was coming. The commander also sent instructions to the foot of the hills to make an attack.
 The severe drought greatly hampers the advance of General Yeatman- Biggs. and altogether the situation at Samana is sufficiently alarming.
