WELL WATER IN VILLAGES.

I notice in the Spectator mention of any probable ill-effects to consumers of water from wells situated near a place of burial. In this village there is a well in the churchyard which flows over continuously and which is supplied from a spring on the side of a hill on which the church is built. During the recent severe frosts the water from this well was used for household purposes without any ill results.—Holywell, St. Ives, Hunts.
