The progress of invention and the
rise of uplands appear just now to be
almost ilimitable. As the effect of the
duplication of steam power, the Irish
man was right when he declared he
should not be surprised to find himself
one morning riding out on his tea kettle
hunting! We now sail by steam,
travel by steam, fly by steam, and per-
form every mechanical operation under
heaven, except eating, by steam; and
at last it has been found out somewhere
in Ohio that canals cannot only be nav
igated, but that they can actually be dug
by steam. A machine is exhibiting in
Cincinnati, which it is asserted exca-
Yates, elevates and places the earth on
the sides Of the canal at any given dis
lance from its margin, at one operation |!
By a little further Improvement it may
unquestionably be made to dig, wall,
and lock the canal, build the boats,
load, unload and tow them, and ocoa-
sionally take them out to repair, tend the
,,locks, and perform all other services
with the accuracy of The most finished
Engineer. Perhaps, too, even surveys
of canal routes may be made by steam !;
an improvement we should hardly
relish, since it would deprive us OF the

Counterfeit tao dollar bills, of the Concord

CaHerpillars-A friend of ours informs us.
that the readiest way of destroying these mis-.
chlevous insects, is, by firing small charge
of gunpowder into their nests, between the
hours of IL and IL, at which lime they are all
in. In this way large orchard may be
cleared of them in short time, and thereby
much fruit may be preserved.
A Census has recently been taken of the
town of New-Bedford, from which it appears
that the present population is 5,276, being an
increase since 1920 of 1879. There are in
the town nine houses for public worship. :
In another column will be found an article
relative to a Canal from Boston, to intersect
the Blackstone Canal, which we have copied,
at the request of correspondent, from the
Boston Patriot. Should this plan be deemed
advisable, it would unquestionaby add to the
value of the Blackstone Canal Stock, and be
an advantage to the Public, by increasing the
facilities OF communication with different
sections of the country.

The Grand Canai.-Although the
Grand Canal is not completed, yet, it
should be known, that, with the excep-
ton of .fve miles, there is a complete
water communication from the city of
New-York to Lake Erie. The Lock
port Observer states, that the packet
boat .andreoU Jackson was raised out of
the basin below the ravine in that viii
lage, taken upon wheels and drawn
over the portage, distance of five
miles. She was drawn by oxen, and
has been safely launched in the Tone
wanta creek, where the proprietors
intend to run her for the transportation
of passengers. The Tonewanta emp
ties into the Niagara river below Black
Rock, making the water communication
from this city complete, with the ex-
ception Of the foregoing five miles.

Richard S Brady, now seaman on board the
Schooner Richmond, trading between Philadelphia
and Richmond, Virginia, being duly sworn accor-
ding to law, doth depose and say, that on the 22d
day OF May 1894 last, he was hand on board the

the Sloop was Jonathan Waddington. 1t was on

In the morning of the said 22d of May Abraham
Buys came down to obtain passage in the Sloop
as far as Newcastle, on his way to Baltimore, where
he wished, he said, to go, having been recently dis
charged from the Philadelphia Prison. Buys was
an old Oyserman and the Captain agreed to give
him passage. Shortly before the Sloop started
Charles Washington Liable, who the deponent had
never before seen, came down an acquaintance of
Abraham Buys and as such we agreed he should
have passage also. This is common on board the
Oyster Boats. The crew consented to it and the
Sloop was worked to the shares, all being part con
cerned, the owner Of the vessel John Carter Jr)
receiving one third for the use Of it. The hands
found the provisions. Both Buys and Liable brought,

Most Excellent Sir Two naions Ior-

,imately connected by relations of the Ii
berry they enjoy, by the constitutions
which govern them, and by the commu-
nifty oil interests, which in the balance OF

This great people, in throwing off their
Illuminating pupilage, directed their at
attention TO the examples of the North,

ton to the number OF the heroes who
have here erected, with their blood, the

those nations have stood forth and sns-
tanned the rights Of the new world, are
