a native Of this city, took passage on

no other books than bible, q common

The blackstone River, a principal branch Of
which rises IL the town of Worcester, takes its
course to the tide-waters at Providence, by a
route much less circuitous than is common
with streams OF no greater magnitude. In its
progress it receives numerous accessions, and
will furnish an abundant supply of water for a
Canal to be opened on its banks; and where
any deficiency might be apprehendad, there
happily exist reservoirs, the copiousness of
which must remove all anxiety on this ac-
count. The stream itself in its natural chan.
mel is not navigable for any considerable dis
lance, nor can it be made so: it cannot, there
fore, be useful for the purposes of navigation,
unless by the aid of an artificial water-course.
1t is for the purpose Of opening Canal up
on the route we have above described. that we
ask for those corporate powers which are nee
essaFy to carry into operation an enterprize so
Immediately beneficial to ourselves, and. as
we believe, so important to the Commonwealth
at large. That our scheme is practicable, we
have not the smallest doubt aud we are for
tilted in our belief, not only by the opinion of
those who are good judges of the feasibleness
of the undertaking, but by the result Of an
actual survey, which was taken many years
since with much care and accuracy. As long
ago as the year. 1896 the advantages which
would attend the establishment Of a Canal
from Worcester 20 Providence seem to have
been properly estimated; and the project was
not only commenced under favourable auspices,
but we doubt not, would long since have been
conducted to a prosperous termination. but for
the untimely death Of the afluent and pub-
llck-spirited citizen upon whom the manage
ment of the business principallydevolyed. AT
. that time, the citizens in the western part of
the Commonwealth appeared to feel strong
interest in the subject; and it is certain that
many circumstances besides the natural growth
OF the country must now contribute to in
/. crease that interest in very great degree. A
survey was then made by skilful engineer,
from, whose report it appeared that the pro.
posed Canal was perfectly practicable An
Act of incorporation was subsequently, granted
by the Legislature of the State of Rhoae-Isl-
and to company OF gentlemen in that State,
giving to them all the necessary powers and
privileges for constructing a Canal 10 the
boundary line Of the State. This Act, we UNI
derstand, is still in force, and NAV be carried
into effect, whenever the Legislature Of Mas
sachusetts shall see fit to grant similar powers
to those of its own citizens who are DESTROYS of
extending the Caual from the State line 10 the
centre Of the County of Worcester.

the dormant energies of the country, and has
opened to us new views Of our present powers
and our future destiny. Several similarnnder-
takings have already been commenced: and
at a recent session of the Legislature of Con-
nectlcut, company was incorporated for the
purposes of opening Canal on the banks of
one of their principal streams. Indeed expe

who are friendly to this branch of publicl1 inn
