o. We did not intend to add any thing on
the subject of the projected Canal. Having
been favoured, however, with the perusal of a
letter addressed to the Canal Committee,
from a gentleman in New-B raintree, in an
swer to Circular issued by them, we are in
duced to make some extracts from it. 1t is
interesting, inasmuch as it presents, in clear
light, facts which go 10 show the very great
advantages to be derived by the people of this
County, even in towns exclusively agricultu-
raj, from Canal Navigation. The letters be-
ing the first answer received to the inquiries of
the Committee, was an additienal reason for
asking permission to give our readers some
extracts from it.

COMMUNICATION.
Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor,
As have the misfortune to be sorelv aflict-
ed with nervous Elections, darling child.
winch occupies seat nearme at meeting, has
been the source of great vexation, from which
wish you would point out some plan 10 re-
i'eVe me. Perhaps mere publication Of nv
case may be sufficient.
The practice of carrying children to meet.
ing on the Sabbath, so soon as they can be re-
strained from play and noise, is worthy of
praise; but parents ought to recollect. that the
meeting-house is not a proper place for confin-
ing children fer the purpose of keeping them
out Of mischief, and avoiding the trouble of
taxing care OF them at home. However little
disturbance children may cause to mothers
and grand-mothers by whispering, tumbling
over the leaves of books, and upsetting crick-
ets-yet they are no small interruption to the
devot'ons OF those, who are seated in their i'm
mediate vicinity, and more especially to your
nervous COMPLAINANT.

Alta meeting holden at Worcester, on
The 10th inst. a committee was appoint
ed to obtain information concerning the
practicabllity of constructing a Canal
from that town TO Providence, sc. We
know not what is the prospect that such
an undertaking may be executed at a rea-
sonable expense. 1.-THE work can be un-
dertakcn with prospect of remunera-
ton to the proprietors, it will undouht-
eddy be work of pu6lick utility, in the
success Of 5Ohich every pert Of the Common
zreaM must feel an interest. We have
not the least apprehension that the o.
peninJ of new means of communication
between any part of the State and
neighbourng ports will be injurious to
the trade of this town.

Upper Stone, is squared on the Spindle. and
serves as a Driver. On the under side are
grooves exactly fitting the rims of the Under
