PATAGONlA'S NEW PARKS.

A feature of the work on the two new parks for Patagonia, which Col. R. R. Richardson is having laid out, an account of which was given in last weeks Patagonian, is the thorough manner in which the wells are being put down. Before any work of planting is taken up for the beautifica ation of the parks, wells must be sunk, of course. for irrigation. In digging these wells concrete casing is put in place and sunk as the digging proceeds. So far as known this is new idea here, and one we'll worth studying by home owners and those thinking of building a home in this community. The concrete casing may cost a little more at first than other methods of timbering a well, but it should far outlast any other method, !, and is the only way to secure pure, clean water. -Patagonian.

 On the afternoon of the collision, when between Boston and Providence, he was delayed by distant signal set against him, but between Providence and Bradford every signal was set at clear, as at Kingston, Shamrock and Wood River. All signals were set at high speed rate. When distant signal is set at clear the high speed rule pre- vails, and all other signals in the block are supposed to be at clear.
