CRo1oN WHARF.-THE Water Committee ought
to advertise the streets in which the pipes are
laid. Many persons who wish to have the water
are not aware that they can have 1t immediately,
but suppose they will have to wait some months
for the pipes. You are right about the pipes ussd
in Philadelphia. There the volume OF water Is
sufficiently large to produce some effect, but the
half inch pipe in this city will be of no klad OF
use in washing pavements or streets. otlii' II
there is great scarcity of water, perhaps it would
be best to keep it at the smallest size which will
answer for the uses of the family. If, however,
the supply is as abundant as in Philadelphia there
seems to be no good reason why New Workers
should be deprived of the privilege of keeping clean
their sidewalks and cutters MORE WATER.

was terrific thunderstorm in New Bedford and
vicinity yesterday morning. At Fairhayen, the
lightning struck the house of Mr.. Buttrick, but
fortunate. y lives were lost. The electric fluid
descended from the chimney, and extended to
nearly every part of the house. One of the rafters
was entirely removed, and one of the large up
right posts in the frame was shivered to spiutcrs,
the windows were broken, and the doors un-
hinged. A bed in corner of the room was
taken entirely across the apartment. The sink
and stove in the kitchen were removed some dis.
