Water.
Ue the City
Within the last month or two several
of our citizens have had the city water
piped into their houses. It is very
clear and is good for all purposes ex
cept cooking and drinking.
During the continued dry weather,
those who have the use of the water
are in a position to appreciate the ad
vantages of a waterworks system.
Our business men should have it
piped in their stores and .more of our
citizens should use it.
The village bears all expense of pip
ing to the curbing or edge of the side
walk, the balance of the expense ..e
user pays, which will vary according
to his needs. The cost of the water
per 1,000 gallons is low and the extra
cost of putting in connections, etc., is
offset by the advantage of having an
unlimited amount of water to draw
from.
The following is a list of all those
who are now using the water:
G, D. Foote, hotel and barn,
Wm. Viiclier, residence,
O. P. Chapman, residence and barn.

Late yesterday afternoon while a
workman was tearing down an old
work shop on the premises of Mr. G.
II. Palmer, a cloth sack was found
which contained $200 in gold. The
building in which it was discovered
was formerly the property of Wm.
Smith, now deceased, and the money
is supposed to have been placed there
by him some time ago. It was only a
few months ago that a like find was
made on the same premises, of a tin
can with greenbacks amounting to
$300. Both of the above finds were
turned over to Mrs. Smith.

Elijah's Perpetual Motion Machine,
Elijah T. Banning was the son of
Benjamin Banning, one of the first
settlers of Huntington. He was
bright active young man and an excel
lent singer, lending the singers at the
rtligious meetings held in the neigh,
bur hood. A school house was built
in the woods near the township line
between Huntington and Sullivan and
was jointly used by the young people
of both places. Elijah was prevailed
upon to open a singing school at thi
point. A certain young lady, Miss
Patience Nart was one of his scholars
and a favorite of the teacher. At the
close of the exercises they usually
sang "Dundee", the words being:
"Let not despair or full revenge
Be to my bosom known,
O give me tears for others woe,
And "Patience for my own"
Whether he got the tears we are un
able to say, but he surely got "Pati
ence for his own."
These early times furnished but lit,
tie work to do except chopping and
clearing land, which occupation he
faithfully followed. One job he done
was two. hundred acres out of which
he saved a farm for himself and Pat
ience. Following this and other oc.
cupations until his health began to
fail, he conceived the idea that a mo.
tor could be made that would run per
petually until worn out. He spent
much time and money in various ex
periments with that end in view
His means becoming short he compos,
ed a song and tune that portrayed his
most likely plan and traveled from
,)lace to place singing this song and
gathering up whatever money his list
ners saw fit to bestow. His mind be,
gan to fail and his friends thought
best to place him in the insane asy
him, where he remained for some
time, receiving no benefit but grow.
ing worse. His friends were advised
to take him away, as death was near,
He died in Rochester about 1850.
The following is the song sung by
Elijah described his "petual motion'
Perpetual motion baa been sought

And when the powers were all combined.
