An Important Find.

At meeting OF the Board of Visitors of
the Western State Hospital last Frday, the
question OF sufficient water supply was be-
ing agitated, as the institution has been late
ly in sore want. 1t became known that
there was spring in the premises which
had been covered up by a secret drain and
discharged its current into the sewer, but
its existence was partially forgotten This
was examined and the flow found to be suf-
ficient to fill four inch pipe, which will
be laid to the power house, and the water
will be lifted by steam pump into the
reservoir. This renders the Asylum indie
pendent.
