Drilling to some purpose Mr. Holt, of New York, 

 who has for a long time kept a steam Engine employed 

 in boring for water, has at length accomplished his ob- 

 ject. His drill, having passed through 510 feet of rock, 

 the surface of which was 130 feet below the ground, ma- 

 king a total depth of G40 ieet, sunk suddenly into a depth 

 of two feet of water, and it is believed that he will ob- 

 tain not only enough for his own establishment, but for 

 all the lower part of the city. 



The treasurer of Charles River bridge has paid to the 

 President of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic As- 

 sociation $G!)6 44, in aid of the Bunker Hill Monument 

 fund the same being one half of the nett amount of tolls 

 received at the Bridge during the month of June. This 

 would seem to indicate that the public do not feel much 

 interest in the Bunker Hill Monument, so long as they 

 remain uninformed as to the debts of the association, and 

 the application to be made of the money. 



Remarkable Willows. A friend assures us that there 

 are now growing at East Boston two willow trees of the 

 following extraordinary dimensions. One at six feet 

 from the ground in the smallest place measures 13 feet 8 

 inches ; at 2 feet from the ground 15 feet 4 inches. The 

 other, at six feet from the ground, measures 12 feet G 

 inches.
