NASHUA CANAL.

The inhabitants. of several towns in the
northern part of this county, believing that the
Blackstone Canal might be advantagcously cx-
tended to Fitchburg, during the last autumn
and winter took measures to procure a survey
which should determine the practcability and
the probable expense of such an enterprise. A
survey has been made by Henry Wilder, his
report OF which we now have before u.s.
Two routes were examined, extending from
the head of the Canal in this town 10 the north.
ward, on both of which the obstacles were suclf
that they were abandoned. route was Their
surveyed from Fitchburg to the head of Long
Pond. The fall, to the present surface Of Long
Pond, is 94I feet. The summit level com.
mencng at Fitchburg is kept up more than ID
miles, passing through Leominster and the
centre of Sterling. Thence the route passed
through Spruce, Sewals, and Harlows Ponds,
to Long Pond, between Worcester and Shrews-
bury. The whole length of the line is 26a
miles. The expense of Canal on the route
s(lrVeyed ia estimuted as followa.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. We stat
ed last week that the House of Represen-
tatives would this year consist of about 500
members. This was mere guess-but it
has proved to be pretty good one, as the
precise number is since ascertained to be
50l-proportioned as follows:

AS the object of the contemplated Canal is
to connect with the Blackstone, we are some
what surprized to find that the survey was not
continued to the point of intersection, which is
about - miles from the head of Long Pond,
where the present survey was terminated, in
order to determine the probable expense of the
whole work. From the outlet of Long Pond a
survey was made in 1922 by the Engineer Of
the Blackstone Canal, from which we find that
the distance from that place, to the intersec-
ton with the Blackstone Canal, is CT miles,
and the lockage fraction short Of 65 feet to
which should be added d feet for the differ
ence between the level of Long Pond at the
present time and at the time that survey was
made. From a conversation we had, at that
time, with the Engineer, we understood that
he estimated the expense of a tow path on the
banks of the pond, so constructed as to answer
for the variations in the level of the pond caus-
ed by drawing the water down in the dry sea.

In the report under notice, we find it stated
that the Blackstone Canal is Is feet wide At
the bottom, with banks slopng in the ratio of
feet horizontal to feet rise, and the estimate
OF the proposed Canal is made upon the same
principle. Here is material error. The as
sumed width of the bottom is correct, but the
slope is IN the ratio of 2 feet horizontal to l
J00t T'se, which, experience has shown, makes
the banks as steep as will answer useful pur-
pose. The correction of this mistake will
make a considerable addition to the estimated
expense of excavation, especially on that part
OF the route where deep cutting is necessary
