lowest pont of navigation for these vessels, the Con-
ewago Fall preventing their further descent. The
Grain was ground into -four at Frys mill, or stored
up and sold to the millers Of Lancaster county.
In l7o4 or e5 the first vessel in the shape of an
ark hut very small in its dimensions, arrived at Har-
risburph from Huntingdon, on the Juniata, and the
Conewago Falls were run by it with safety. About
the time of the invention of the ark, the Conewa-
90 canal at York Haven, was commenced, and on
its completion in 1897, or 1898. keel boats were
enabled to pass through it. and down the river to
Columbia The river trade at Middetown was by
this almost at once DESTROYED. and Columbia having
become the lowest point Of navigation increasing
with astonishing rapidity. The period was short
after the arks passed the Conewayo Falls, until
these vessels attempted the dangerous rapids below
Columbia and reached tide water This we think
must have been about the year l79o.
1t was not until the trade of the Susquehanna had
thus reached the tide water, that 1T became an OBJ
iect Of soctude to the merchants of Baltimore, and
as its importance became every year more evident,
they engaged in the construction of the Maryland
canal, which was designed to overcome as much OF
the RAPIDS between Columbia and tide as 1t were IN
the state of MARYLAND. And although frequent ap-
preparations were made by Pennsylvania, to Improve
the navigation of the Susquehanna and its branches,
above Columbia no appropriation was made Tor the
improvement Of the river below that point until the
year 1925. Then commission, consisting OF M
Meens, Hyde SWilson, was appointed by the leglsa-
ture, to cooperate with the Maryland commissioners,
in improving the navigation from Columbia to tide,
and liberal appropriation, made for this purpose.
Previous to this the navigation between Columbia was
extremely hazardous, and heavy losses were yearly
sustained and now the rlsque OF running an ark
between these points is considered next to noml-
nal.
The York Haven canal was originally Philadel-
pha concern, but in 1919 it was, disposed OF to
Baltimore company, by which it is now held
| The Baltimoreans had become alive to the impor-
tance of the river trade, and paid an enormous sum
for the canal aud grist mill that yet stands at York
Haven. They erected besides large stone MILL
(5urnt down three years since,) store houses, &c.
They purchased great proportion of the wheat
brought down the Susquehanna in keel boats, and
these boats we're supplied from their storehouses
with salt. fish and plaster for the consumption of
the susquehauna and Juniata untry.-Harrisbug

Senate, December s.

Mr.. Johnson Of Kentucky, gave notice, that he
should on tomorrow, or some subsequent day, move
for leave to introduce bill entitled" A bill for
The preservation and repair Of the Cumberland
Road" He said the subject had called for and re-
ceved the attention of Congress, for the last twenty
wears. that LOO 900 dollars had been expended on
the road: and that at this time, the road from Cum
berland to Wheeling, was going rapidly to destruc.
ton. He had, at former time, introduced mo-
ton, which passed both houses, providing for the
erection of togaes upon this road, which had after
wards been defeated upon constitutional principles.
The State of Maryland, he believed, and the State
of Pennsylvania had authorised the erection of toll
gates within their limits. Virginia, alone, now retain
ed any authority over the road and it was not neces
sary to obtain her consent, because gate was mol
required within her limits.
Mr.. Noble gave notice, that he should, Tomorrow
