MEssRs. EDIToRs see by your valuable
little Journal that you are pledged to sustain
that great movement of reform, temperance, in
all its bearing. A Journal of this description
was certainly much wanted in this city Of
magnificent distances. ! would therefore take
the liberty Of calling your attention to the ac-
ton Of our Mayor and Councils in regard 10
this matter. Their letting the pumps through
our city go 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
section of the city have now been out of repair
for months, and should the only pump which
now affords the necessary beveridge to a large
portion Of the cilizens in that vicinity get out
Of repair, which is a frequen. occurrence with
it, there is no other alternative for them, but
to drink something stronger, and not SO whole
some


You would be conferring a favor on the
community by calling the attention Of our wor-
thy Mayor, through the temperance cause, to
this matter. d. w. G.
