WORCESTER:
WEDNESDAY, OCT. "a, 1877.

BLAoKsToNE CANAL. Highly exaggerated
accounts of the damage done to the canal by
the rains this fail, have been put in circulation
We understand that the highest estimate made
OF 1t, by the engineer, is 81 500, and it is sup
posed, it may be made good for considerably
less The work goes on as rapidly as could
be expected, under existing circumstances
The heavy and repeated rains, and the failure
OF two contractors, have retarded the excava-
ton, and will probably prevent its completion
the present season. The contractors are now
engaged in building the last locks, the greater
part OF them being already finished. The ex-
perience OF the present season HIS fully demon
strated the capacity of the reservoirs, to afford
an abundant supply of water, oven more dura-
bic than was anticipated, thus improving, in
stead of injuring the water privileges on the
route.

POLITICAL In yNcto Jersey the annual cleo
ton OF members of the Legislature has recent
~ taken place. 1t has resulted in an increase
OF ten to the majority in favor of the National
Administration. Two counties, which gave
jackson maJorties at the congressional elec-
ton, have elected the Adams ticket.
In Pennsylvania the Presidential question
was not brought into view in but a few of the
counties, but wherever it was, the STRENGTH
displayed en- the side of the Administration
appears to have created equal surprize in the
minds of both parties, neither of them suppos-
ing it so great as it has proved to be. In eve
ry case, the contest was close, and, in MANY
OF the counties, the Administration ticket pre-
vailed. The Jackson papers, as an offset for
this unexpected state of things, claim all the
members where there was no contest. There
is no way to ascertain, at present, how they
are divided, but, at the proper time, it is be-
heVed fair proportion of them will be found
ON the side of the Administration.
In plrgsnto, public meetings have been call
ed IN many counties, and, in several, have
been held to appoint delegates to general
convention, to be held at Richmond, in Janu-
ary, for nominating an Adams electoral ticket.
The strength displayed, and the spirit mani
tested, IN the counties where meetings have
been held, give good grounds for a reasonable
expectation, that Virginia may yet be found on
the side of the Administration.

THE SLEEPER CURED. Some time since, a
writer in the Lowell Journal, after adyertinp to
the new invented cure of intemperance, ex-
pressed desire that some one would next dis
cover remedy for sleeping in meeting. This
would certainly be desderatum, and we have
heard OF nothing approaching nearer TO it than
the method detailed in the following story.
A few years since, an aged clergyman in the
western part of this county speaking of the So
lemnlty attached to the ministerial Office. said
that during the whole term of forty or fifty
years that he had officiated therein, his gravity
had never but once boon disturbed in tho pull
pit. On that occasion, while engaged in his
discourse, he noticed man, directly in front
of him, leaning over the railing of the gallery.
with something in his hand, which he soon dis
covered to be huge guild of tobacco lust talk
en- from his mouth. Directly below, sat a man.
VINO was In the constant habit of sleeping at
meeting, with his head leaned back, and his
mouth wide open. The man in the gallery was
intently engaged, raising and lowering his hand,
and taklngan exact observation, till, at length.
having got it right he let fall the quid oftobacco,
and it fell, plump into he mouth ofthe sleeper
below The whole scene was so ndescribablv
ludicrous, that, for the first and the last time
In the pulpit, an involuntary smile forced itself
upon the countenance of the preacher. The
unexpected intrusion of so unpaIatable mouth
full, awoke the sleeper, and he was never known
to indulge in that practice afterwards.

In the winter of 1890, two gentlemen
came from Lord Sekirk establishment on the
Red River, to Prairie du Chen on the Missis-
sippi. distance of several hundred miles, each
drawn in train by two or three dogs The
party returned to Red River in the spring in
boats and most of the dogs were consequently
left behind. As soon as they saw that they
we're abandoned by those old masters, each dog
selected house in the village, and by an OBJ
stinate maintenance of his post, and faithful
guardianship of the premises, compelled the
occupant to adopt him as part of the cstab-
