tion of our Mayor and Council, in regard to
this matter their letting the pumps, through
our city, 90 dry, whereby that greatest of all
blessings, pure water, is TO be procured, is Ger
tainly not calculated TO aid the temperance
cause. Some of the pumps in the eastern sec
ton of the city have now been out of repair for
months, and should the only pump which
now affords the necessary beverage 10 large
portion OF the citizens in that vicinity, get out
of repair. which is a frequent occurrence with

drink something stronger, and not SO whole
some.
