At a depth of 112 feet a eubterranean reservoir was struck 'jrhich sentforthastreamentirely filling tbe two-inch pipe, and it is estimated that ully 2,000 bárrele of water daily pour forth. As this is about 1,990 barrels more than is needed on the place, Mr. Smith who lives on the place, will doubtless have water to spare. The serious feature of the affair is that this fountain has to a great extent cut off the snpply of several others in the vicinity. It were ever thus. What's one man'e gain is another's loss.
