Dis6ro7v, who has been employed by our
corporation for the last two weeks in boring
for water, has reached upwards of ninety
feet deep, and pcrsevcres in full confidence
of success. He has passed through great
variety of stata, sand, clay, gravel mud, sui
phatc of iron, &c. At the depth Of about
forty feet, he met with quictsand, which it
was apprchended would prove very trouble
some, MIR d. soon surmounted the difficult
ties which it threatened. Atthe distance OF
between sixty and eighty feet, the boring
implements, brought up pieces of wood such
as elm, white oak, and locust &c. some OF
which were in a perfect state of preserva-
ton, particularly the white oak and locust,
and what is very remarkable, the hull OF a
hickery nut, as sound and firm as if buried
but few weeks instead OF, no doubt, many
centuries.


Ouery-How came these varieties of wood
at such depth, mingled with sand, gravel
and large stones?


Mr.. d. has now arrived at clay the
appearance of soap stone, so very hard and
adhesive that consequently he progresses
slowly. 1t is but justice to this useful and
perscvering gentleman to state, that could
he have procured the proper description Of
iron here which is required for tubes, his
progress would unqestonably have been
much speedicr.


We hope very shortly to advise the pub
been crowned with the most complete sue
cess.
