We opine that the experience Of the presen
year will have tendency to do away will
much of that feeling of Indifference with which
the people of Cincinnati have regarded thu
completion of the Miami Canal, north of Day
ton. In the light Of this year, they can Sc,
how much the business Of their city mag de
pend upon their having at all times a nayiga
BILE channel to the lakes in this direction. VIII
they and the citizens of Dayton look to it, AM
become, with us, IN this section, jealous advo
Gates for the completion Of this great and i'm
portant work.

may miss the confounded disase that has pla.

enjoy his whisky, though he always takes care
in such cases to double the quantity.

him, sitting in his little seven by nine shantee,
neither chinked nor mudded, with the door star
ing wide open at his back, and the paneless
window breezng away at the side of his
head. Hiss regular case, brought on by too
strong devo for field sports to wit--coon-

fire ofold wood, his upper extremlties thrown
forward towards the chimney, and the inferior
parts well thrown back ,toIpreserve the center of

Wah--- didn't hurt me none."
But the chills come thicker and faster, and
lown goes the whiskey to grope in the dark
or the seat of the dlsease--his hands grow
