We are having very Indictment
weather. An unusual quantity of rain
has fal len and there is no let up. Our
streets. ARE mud holes from one end to
the other. TO add to the horror of
them, a great number of hands are at
work with plows, mattoxes, spades, etc,
digging the earth up to lay down the
pipes Of the projected water-works.
Some of the bitches are open, and the
loose dirt thrown ont of them, lies on
the streets two feet deep. The rain
falling on it makes mud of if, and the
result is horrible roads.
Much of the pipe for the water works
has been laid down, but owing % inclem-
ency of the weather. much yet remains
to be laid down.
Poles for electric light wires are
going up, and il We could have two OR
three weeks nf fair weather, all such
work might be completed. Mr.. Sauu-
