Should be Remedied. While passing along North Water
street yesterday afternoon the Daily
Iprald representative learned that
Mr. Robert Alexander had successfully bored for good water and a good sup
ply in his yard, until he found it, at a
depth about equal to the Hunter-Bar-
nett, Wheat aud Wallace well, on the
same street. .... .
Now this water is pure and in abun
dant supply. It is far below the sur-
ace where impurities ot any descrip
tion would be. at all be likely to reach it, and the flow seems to be abundant, and spontaneous for all' purposes a pump can supply.
During the whole summer, Mr.
High has used this well in front of Messrs. Hunter and Barhett, for the
purpose of sprinkling the streets of
Franklin, filling bis water tank nearly everv half hour, and the supply did
not decrease; the well was equal to
all the demands made upon it, and in
act too greater the demand the purer
the water seemed to ibe uircneu tongue of the weary wayfarer, during
the oppresMve.days when the thermom
eter recistered beyond ;1UU degreBs.or
during many days when it stood in tho
nineties. '
Now we are led to these remarks by
a visit to the public school building
and contrasting the shallow, putrid water brought forth by the pumps in the yard, of that institution with tho water found iri the well of
Messrs. Alexander, at.d the other gentlemen we have named.
The wells in the school bouse yard
should not be tolerated a day. No tax-payer who visits that place, looks
in the wills, and tastes of the. water.

go to any and ail expense to procure . Jn an( can at
