There is a settlement or colony ,in Henderson county ' which has become little known, yet which is destined we think to have a marked influence on the future of that county. It is composed of Eng.ishmen, the head of seven or eiyht families, men, not of wealth, but of in dependent means, of energy, intelligence and education, with lively Interest in the land of their adoption, not obtrnsire in thrusting their viHV8 and modes upon the people amo g whom they live, adap ting themselves with practical good serse to their environments, and at the same time pursuing their own systems with energy and perseverance. The settlement is along Willow Creek; extending to the month of that stream. and up and down it , alio embracing some mountain and wooded land, altogether comprising a few' thousand acres. The arable land is oft reat beauty and fertility, and is being highly cultivated. A num. ber ot well built houses adorn the pretty knolls that spring from the valleys,"and all are made to partake of that rural beauty so prettily ant', characteristically English.' niCng fJfT'xnoinsn- i tha-.

Fortunately no damage was doue, but it was almost a miracle there was not. The wamna should at least be placed to one aid, if they cannot be otherwise removed. Th city would be responsible for any dam age which might result from such cause. The New Water-Works. Ex-Alderman Powell expresses full confidence in the success of the new water-works. He also says that over two thousand dollars of the contract price are still reserved; and the contract is such that of the machinery now ned is not sufficient that the contractor will have to supply snch as will be, at his own cost. it tne authorities would have these contracts published so the public could see them and judge of their character doiihui'very much misapprt hension now iing would be removed. The failure tythe new works to render much needed ervice this summer has piven rise to much speculation as to the nature of tbe work, or rather the larfHciencv of tho work, and no effort has !' on taken to . give the public wich lnfrj,j5;ipi aa was wanted, iutd1i3 iLiicVwiose servat-tH not bosses the " authorities are and whose money they uso, had a right to have, and have furnished in- such a way that it could reach the public - We are pleased with Mr. Powell's statement, mid pleased he felt inclined to make it. The public are not disposed to be unreasonable, but when their ser vants axs'tine to perform a duty for them, using their fund , therefor, and the results of such effort may be unsatisfactory either for delay or other causes, the ' authorities should hasten to give all the information possible, in such a way that all can see for themselves and consider for themselves. The city is full of rumors, many grave insinuations, against the management of .the water-works and the electric light matters, some of these even imnuenintr the integrity of. one or more of the authorities We have no cognizance of such, for if reason enough exists to base a charge or belief upon, the knowing ones should have the courage and the manhood to make explicit charges and lodge them directly. In justice to the parties involved the fullest examina tion should be had at once, and lhe full est information given. While the Citizk! exacts good faith on the part of all, of- heals and cuntractois. it wishes lull justice and fairness done all, and the public are likewise inclined. We have no axes to grind or enemies to punish. Let the authorities look into the macaie ment rf affairs and ascertain if there be grounds for the rumors which are openlv circulated; and above all, let them exac t such fulfilment of contracts as will Becure to tbe public the benefits of the enter prises for which their money has already been very largely expended, and the use of which they stand in immediate need Iutercstinj story of a Ring. Giles Busby, a . Toledo fishmong er was cleaning' a' whitefish last week; in the larger intestines of the fish he fouud a diamond ring. The rii'xhad . encraved upon its inner sin face "J. A. B Chicago, Joo." Busby forwarded the ring to the chief of police in that city. Last Wednesday Mr. Julia A Lennox, of i2 LennoxPlae, Chicago, ident ified and recovered thp ring. She tells an interesting story of its hose.. In 1S69 she, as Miss Bennett, be came engaged to Mr. Lennox, and he gave her this diamond ring, for which he paid $450. - Upon their bridal tri, in 187 1 Mrs. Lennox lot thi ring; while she was washing her lunula in the toilet-room of the Pullman car the ring slipped through the waste-pipe. As the train happened to be crossing the bridge over the ot. Lawrence river, lie n Montreal, just at that time, the bereaved bride had 110 hops of ri covering the ring. There are no w!i:teri.-h in the St. Lawrence. The th'.-orv is that a small fish seized iijiuii the ring, and th.tt at ome fii fur time this small fish, while crui: ing ah-.mt the lakes, fell a prey to the wbiu-jiali in which the long-lost ring was discovered- CJilea Busby, the Tuiedo fishmonger, received from Mr. Lennox a check for $10 lur his honei-ty.
