    St; Patrick's Well
    A few workmen were working near St; Patrick's well. They were making tea and got the water from the well. After the water being on the fire a long time, it was noticed that there was not a stir out of it. The water was spilt out and water from a nearby stream got instead. Soon after that a cement wall was built around it and a statue of St; Patrick erected there. The people of the place are now trying to raise funds to get a new statue.
