s. The earliest artesian wells bored in
Providence We're bored in July to octo-
ber lS2S The first one was bored on
the land where the Franklin Brothers
stable now stands just opposite the Mar
jamin and Charles Dyer filled In all the
land below Richmond street. and on this
particular piece which bad been long
known by the name Muddy Dock.they had
built stable, which was rented TO the
Citizens Coach TO. Water for the horses
was required and well ~ feet deep was
came, and the boring which was not
quite as deep as at first intended was
abandoned. Stephen Horton, mason
here, then and long afterwards did the
Ia N ad Rp at
the stable of this well.
Work was commenced at once upon the
second well which was bored at the
company's wharf. hundreds of yards"
az the old chronicler says, from the
original land. which means that point
was far out into the salt water. The
story is so extraordinary that we shall
let the old chronicer tell IL chiefly I'm
his own way. After having bored through
the made land, perhaps IL feet, Mr.. Hor-
ton bored through 20 feet. of blue dock
mud: he then went through a peat bog
meadow feet and then he does not say
how many feet of fine white sand, mixed
with grayish pebbles. and quartz gravel:
at this point water rushed forth with
great elasticity" But the water was
ne nGs s%a wS cSpperss s and sr
senic." so the boring went on until "a
point was reached some feet below the
quartz gravel, when the borer entered
grape vineyard apparently. for much
grape vine came up and much grape
seed as well az leaves, and other vegeta-
bile matter. There also came acorns
hazel nuts pine burrs and quantities OF
seeds OF some unknown fruits; and just
then n vein of pure and excellent water
gushed forth; over the spot the tide had
ebbed and flowed for ages. new lands
had been formed and the place where
these strange things lay was buried near
ly 40 feet below the present land level.
This well was on the extreme end OF the
brick building where ne Providence Coal
company now land their coal. IL is now
gone, but until within few years water
was pumped there.

The query in last Saturdays News
concerning artesian wells has brought an
answer which must certainly be of the
greatest interest to all students of the
geological foundations which lie beneath
the cay of Providence. There can be but
one explanation, and that Is glacial ac-
ton. The glacier split on Mount Pleas
ant, one side made the valley of the
woonasquatucket; the other ploughed out
the Cove struck the rock ribbed hill
along which Benefit street runs and was
turned eastward as We now see-Smith' $
Hill. Christian Hill, Fields Point Hill,
were all eddies OF sand thrown up by this
glacier in pursuing it's way into the sea.

Mr.. William p. Cross. the genial and
gentlemanly clerk of the L. $. circuit
court, begs us to announce that he is
