I tOmniencril ilia descent to the river, down a

The Winchester Republican, in speaking ol
these works, says, it uudcistands that although
$40,000 was appropriated fur Ihe completion
of them, il will take $ri0,000. This i» a mistake
The expense will not exceed the original txn

In fact the works themselves will be completed

Winchester itself, it seems from the ltcpubli

under the superintendence of Mr. John,

ol the pipes, there, is three quarters of a
mile, which were all laid in ten days.
Ahe expense of lhe»e works are estimated
