OPENING OF THE ERIE CANAL. - Sound Us.
lightning. 1t is announced that the water is
to be let into the Erie Canal to-day, and the
intelligence is instantly communicated by tee-
graph. This recalls TO mind the ceremonies of
the celebration at the time this Canal was COM
pleted, and the means resorted to, to convey as
speedily as was then POSSIBLE, from Buffalo to
the scaboard the news that the waters of Lake
Erie had been let into the canal and the first
boat had commenced its trip to New York. The
canal was completed October Goth, 1925, and
on Wednesday, at 10 A. NJ, the waters of the
lake were let in, and boat commenced its voy-
age. The announcement of this joyful event
was made to the citizens of the State by the
sound of cannon placed in continued line
along the canal and the Hudson, at intervals of
eight miles, extending from Buffalo to Sandy
Hook, distance of ga miles. The moment
the boat entered the canal at Buffalo, the firing
commenced and was continued in succession till
the intelligence reached the city, which was at
twenty minutes past eleven O'Clock, occupying
one hour and twenty minutes. The acknowl-
edgment of the receipt of this intelligence was
returned in the same manner. This velocity
averaged about half the velocity of sound, which
travels at the rate of lag feet per second. The
intelligence is to-day communicated by light
ning--instantaneously. Y. Erening Post

A Hard Case.

A poor, but jolly weaver in this city, not many
years ago, had fortune left him by distant
and wealthy relative. who went off the handle,
in England, rather Unexpectedly. When the
news came TO the poor fellow, as he sat ciicket-te-
cLlcket at his loom, he stopped stock still and
said Well suppose must spend this money
straight The fortune, some twenty odd thou
sand dollars, was duly realized and duly spent.
For two brief years did the poor weaver travel
make merry, and riot upon all the Injuries OF the
land, But two years did the job, and he return
ep to his loom as poor as church mouse, but as
merry as cricket, and worked away again for
his daily bread, perfectly satisfied with the good
time he had enjoyed while his fortune lasted.
Ills friends called him green, but he laughed at
these gibes and worked the harder.
In twelvemonts time, Off popped another
rich relative, and the news, post haste, come to
the Jolly weaver, that he was again the possessoI
OF handsome fortune. Stopping his loom, and
looking sorrowfully ut the letter, he desponding.
ly said Good Heavens! is it possible that
must so through all that again !'--Boston Ram

The Eighth and Ninth of May.

Yesterday and to-day complete the second an
mversaries of the hard-fought battles of PALo
ALTO and REsACA de la PALMA the opening
field operations in the War with Mexico.-in
which Gen TAYLOR, with but about 300 officers
and men of the Regular Army completely routed
some 5000 or 1000 Mexicans under the COM
mand of Arista. The recurrence of these an
nlversaries, if it serve to remind us of the gross
abuse OF Executive authority in President Polk
through which they have become mcmora bic,
will also perpetuate the nobest testimony TO the
signal benefits that the Military Institution at
West Point, (Which has often been the hobby
of attack by clamorous demagogues in and ont
of Congress,) has conferred and is comforting
upon the Country by rendering its defences IN
rmcibie. We believe no Army in the world
was ever equal to our own, in its morale.-in
the cultivated intelligence, the scientific skill in
Arms, the high sense of honor, and the cool in
trepidlty of its Regular Internationally his
tory furnishes no parallel to the achievements of
Taylors and SCOTS campaigns, when all the
embarrassing circumstances are properly copsi.
dered and to the influence and example Of the
West Point Officers, to much greater extern
than is generally supposed, and without de,ract-
ting jot from the Just praise due to the Vol.
unteers, are those achievements owing,

A CRASH I!

This afternoon at about half past two o'clock
while the workmen on the fine three-story brick
building which Mr. AMAsA Drew is erecting on
Water Street, opposite the Exchange Hotel,
were engaged in elevatng the ratters to their po-
sitions, one of the shores or props, which sus-
tanned the cross timbers, gave way, the front
wall fell outwards, and the whole were precipl-
tated amid falling mass of tmbers and brick to
the first floor, distance of some 35 or 40 feet
! There were eight men on the building at the
moment aud Messrs Seth and James Morse and
one or two others were IN the basement. They
all escaped unhurt, or with slight injury, except.
ing two-Edmund Powell, a mason in the en-
poy of Messrs. Morse and Mr. Vandewater. a
carpenter, who resides in Willsborongh. y. Y
Mr.. Powell was thrown outside of the building
and nearly buried beneath the brick and rubbish |;
lie was eXtrcated. however, very soon, and
though very severely cut and bruised, is not
considered TO be fatally hurt. Mr.. Nandewater
fell with the timbers plank &c. within the walls,
and was so seriously injured that he is not ex-
cepted to recover. He was carried 10 his resi-
dence. an hour after the occurrence, in state
of entire insensbity. 1t is certainly remarkable
that much greater loss of life was not occa.
stoned by this deplorable accident.
the cause of the disaster unfortunate in its
consequences to Mr. Drew, and tenfod unfor.
tunate in the probable and possible loss of IFS
that attends it, was unquestionaby that the
cross-timbers were not sufficiently shored or
propped to sustain the weight that was upon
them. single strip of ordinary plank, not
more than or inches wide, was all the prop
ping that was placed under each timber; and
the width of the building rendered additional, or
greatly stronger props, necessary as matter of
the most ordinary precaution. The lesson Of
Ia by la ,b,,; ,;t,h
followed so obvious negligence, will not, we
trust be forgotten.
