Tue farmers of New Brunswick seem to be alive t. the importance of the Catile Trade wit): Great Britain. The Sackville Transcript says :—

‘* Severs) of our farmers have recently sent cattle direct to the English market. While the proiits of their venture were moderate and not so larg» as te warrant a general rush into the business, still the re- sults were sufliciently encouraging to in- duce Mr. Humphrey, who accompanied his first let, t» take an interest in another ship- ment, and he is now getting together cattle to be forwarded by way of Rimouski next week. ‘TI be available for this market, the beef must te of better quality than, the average that runs in our pastures in summer and fills our barns in winter. Convinced of this and »f the importance of being in @ position ti supply the article demanded by the market, Mr. Humphry, Mr. Wood and others sre negotiating for the purchase

of breeding stuck in the old country Mr. H. was very favorably impre with the

Aberdeenshire or Angus poll cattle; and from his r¢ports in regard to them, and from what we have learned ef them from other sources, we hope soon to see seme of them intreduced here.”

New |drunswick is fortunate in having farmers of the stamp of and Mr. Wood.

Mr. Humphrey

evidences Fah

Tue utility of even a few brick buildings, here and tiere in a block, was sufficiently demenstrated at the last fire; and the folly of permitting the erection of wooden struc- tures in the centre of the town, is evident. We hope the City Council will lose no time in passing an ordinance prohibiting new wooden erections around or about (Queen Square, or on Queen Street. The man who cannot afford te put up a brick build- ing should not build at ail. There are plenty of vacant wooden tenancies to be had; an rent is low.

The Water Question. HALES, ESQ THB SUPPLY AND HOW IT MAY BE

LETTER FROM F. W. AT. QUIRK’S PUMP, UTILIZED.

To the Editor of the BHvraminer.

S1x,—I am glad to netice that the Scarciry or Water at the late fire is again arousing the City Fathers to a sense of the insecurity of our wooden town; aud, moreover, that some of them are more disposed than formerly to recognize the value of the supply Nature has put under our feet. Ihave long been of the opinion that we have there all we need of nure water; and wrote some letters to the papers on that subject immediately after the city of Brooklyn had shown the possibility of obtaining large quantities of water from the ordinary springs. This was shown by the large well reservoirs in Prospect Park, whence, from what was énce only an erdinary well, now some half a millien gallons are taken daily.

lt is well known that the pump near Quirk’s Bakery, alongside of English Church fence, has hitherto been the chief reliance of our firemen, and so far, I believe, has never failed them.

Now, Sir, if the same plan were adopted with this well as has been done at Brooklyn, viz.: an exeavation made, say 30 feet in diameter, down to the seam through which the water runs, which, at Quirk’s, is said to be of gravel, with compact rock below, which conditions I have found to be the same im the case of the Steam Navigation Co.’s weil on their wharf, a reservoir might be built in the rock at a small expense, which would always be kept full from the large surface of water seam which would drain intoit. Then, by applying the Holly system, as used in Truro, N\. 8., as well as in numbers of western citieS where water from high ground cannet be obtained, we might have all the advantages ef abundant water, and save the expense of miles ef mains in from the country, as well as cest of land and water privileges, and expense of making and keeping up a large dam to act as a reservoir. Supposing Winter River to be chosen, | much doubt if there is height eneugh there to bring the water in and give head enough to supply the town, so that pumping, in all probability, would have to-be resorted to afterwards.

Councillor Morris’ plan of bringing in water from Spring Park, has the merit of compara- tive economy, as compared with Winter River, and a purer article. But I fear that surface spring, as itis, the quantity would be found deticient. Experiments might be made to prove this, however, at small cost, but they might prove misleading, as surface springs have often been known to decrease in quantity.

Taking it altogether | think Quirk’s pump offers the most promising outlook.

I have written to a gentleman in Truro ask- ing full particulars cf their water system, its extent and cest, and in a few days hepe to have the pleasure of laying their experience before your readers, Yours truly,

Frep. W. Hares,

Ch’town, Sep. 3, 1880.
