A piece of malicious mischief was per-

farm buildings of Charles Edwards and
b. +. Cummings are supplied with rum
ming water from a we'll beside the road,
some three eighths of mile north OF the

Saturday morning, and investigation
showed that the well house had been
entered by wrenching out the staple of
the lock, and the water had been mud
died by some means. They think it
was done by firing some kind of explos-
i've, as the noise of an explosion was
heard by some members of both families
about half-past eight in the evening. No
damage was done to the stone work OF
the well, which is about twelve feet in
diameter, and had five or six feet of
water in it at the time. Messrs. Edwards
and Cummings offer a reward of fifty
dollars for the discovery of the miscre-
ant, and intend to hunt him down.
