Artesian Well in Wellington. — We observe that our enterprising townsman Mr. Edmeades is having an artesian well put down at his brewery, Tory-street, Te Aro. The bore is already down 150 feet, and an excellent sample of water has been obtained, but not in sufficient quantity to guarantee a constant supply. The pipe used is two and a half inches in diameter. — " Evening Post," July 1. Telegraph. — Alfred Sheath, Esq., Telegraphic Engineer, returned to Wellington yesterday, after a lengthened tour through this and the Province of Hawko's Bay, made with the object of extending telegraphic communication to Napier. The line from Castle Point to Napier has been surveyed, and the work of erecting poles will be commenced sometime during the next month. — " Evening Post," June 27. Unconditional Sureendee op Hat?
