White Wafer Canal.

The Board of Directors of the White Water Valley
Canal, met in this place Monday last for the trans
action of the general business of the Company. and
for the purpose of disposng of the stock of such
Stockholders as had not paid IN their assessments.
Among the orders of the Board was one authorizing
the engineer Of the Company to direct the contractor
of the Laurel aqueduct to proceed with the work
the same so soon as the citizens of Cambridge City
and vicinity raise $1,000 the citizens of thistown
and vicinity $1,000, and the citizens of Laurel and
vicinity $500, to be appropriated to repairing said
auueduct and that onehaf the tolls at the Offices at
Cambridge and Laurel be pledged until the construc-
ton of said aqueduct be fully paid for and also that
the tolls be pledged after the LIST day of January next
until the advances of said citizens be paid
Tuesday being the day set for selling delinquent
stock for failure to pay the assessment, the Board
proceeded to the sale, when upwards of 700 shares
were sold. We believe it was all purchased by Mr..
A. B. Conwel of this place. The Stockholders have
leave to redeem the stock sold, by paying the amount
of with per cent damage on the same,
providing is paid within sixty days from the day of
sale.
About 1913. 900 of the assessed-tax was paid on
Monday and Tuesday; and the first estimate upon the
contracts recently let by the Company, is to be paid
some time this week.
Geo. Holland Esq, who was elected a member OF
the Board at its last meeting, declined to serve, and
James Rariden, Of Cambridge, was chosen to fill the
vacancy.
We congratulate the members of the Board and the
friends of the Canal throughout the country, at the
cheering prospect there this time that the Canal
will be speedily repaired and navigation opened. The
majority of the Stockholders have up nobly and
paid their assessments and confidently expect that
much of the stock sold will be redeemed before the
expiration Of the sixty days.
Nothing is now wanting but more hands to do the
work. The contractors will push the work with re-
newed vigor under the that the estimates
will be regularly paid.-Connersriu Telegraph.

For the Sentinel
Gen. TayIor's Letter TO his BrOther-in'
law, Capt. Allison, dated April
Q2d. I64S.

The Editor of the Journal says this "must silence
forever all doubts and all cavis in regard to his Potl-
cal opinions" He takes upon himself It IS true, the
name of a tchig-'I ann says he "a whig." But
what the principles which, in his opinion, attach
to the name! He says upon the subject OF the
tariff, the currency, the improvement of great
highways rivers, lakes and hsrbors the will of the
people expressed through their representatives III
Congress ought be respected and carried out by the
Executive" The President, then, in order to be a
whig must 90 with the majority If the people are
in favor of high Protective Tariff National Bank,
system of internal improvements, the President
must carry out these principles But if 'the will of
the people" should oppose these measures should ia
vor revenue tariff, subtreasury, and all the doc
trlnes of the Democratic party-then-what then !
Why this ,ohig considers himself bound, PRESIDENT,
to CARRY OUT the principles Of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY
This, then, is Gen. Taylors whiggery Satisfactory,
no doubt, to the Editor of the Journal!
Gen. Tayler says 81 am not sufficiently familiar
with all the minute details of political legislation to
give solemn pledges to exert my influence, If l WERE
PRESIDENT, to carry out this defeat tbs rdsure,
thus acknowledging he has principles of his own
and therefore, IN absence of other rules, although
WING, he GOES WITH THE MAJORITY Crude impress
sions," says the Gen. ''on matters of policy which
may be right to-day and wrong tomorrow, are not
perl APPS the best test of fitness for Office. One who
cannot be trusted without pledges cannot be conhded
in merely on account of them" Those grave ques-
tons, then, questions which separate the two great
political parties, far the East from the West,
-PRINcIPLEs,-one set of which have ever been con-
sidered by the "oracles'' of the Wing party and
great expounders of the Constitution" Of vital i'm
portance to the webeing of the country, essen

PRUNING FRUIT TREEs.-We may not be able to
give satisfactory for preerring May to March
for trimming apple trees. Most Farmers, however,
agree that the the wound is healed the BETTER
and that it Is of service to draw forth much sap
at the wound. Now, it is certain that wound never
begins to heal till the tree has put forth its leaf Ii
has no means to form new wood until it has leaves,
for the sap that forms wood passes through the
leaf From the time of trimming then, to the FORM
ing of the leaf, the wound is exposed to the weather,
and the process of healing has not commenced.
There is a critical time in July, between the first
and second growth of the season when the sap will
from the wound and discolor the bark for foot
or more below II; we notice this in pruning nursery
trees, and we think trimming in July not udicious
As to the comparative waste of sap in March and
May, call the attention of our readers to practice
of tapping the maple for the purpose of gathering
sap. All know that sap can be gathered in
May, and not much in April in latitude. Sap
runs most freely in March, For this reason we never
trim grape vines in March. But after the leaf is
formed the vine will not bleed.

THE TELEGRAPH.-On Friday afternoon of last
week, the battery at this place put in operation
BY the superintendent, Mr. DeanO, and the first COM
municaton had with Richmond. Owing to some
disanangement in the wire, nothing was done east of
that point
As soon as we had chance, for the crowd was
"some,' we forwarded the following:
''The Old Cocks compliment to the Jeffersonian,
and Palladium. Would say more if the crowd was
not so great
In few minutes, received the following;
'.RIcHmoND, May IL, 1913, 8 D. m
G. A. CHAPMAN: D. P. Holloway presents his COM
plments 10 the odd Cock and hopes when he CON-
mences The operation of skInnng coons, he may find
the flor to shake to have the same effect"
The aIlusion to the floor is probably mention that
made other communication,-which was
the fact in the Office, caused by the crowd.
On Saturday morning. waited for the Richmond
Office to reply to our battery. in hopes to learn some
thing from the east. As in operation, we
sent the following: chapman wishes to know why
you DO no: rise earlier in Richmond And where is
the Jeffersonan :"
To which received the following: "We are
very early rsers here and the editor Of the Jeerso-
man has gene to Baltimore TO the Convention"
The whole time elapsed in sending and receiving
the foregoing, and half minutes!
Some idea may thus be formed of the facilities Of
intercourse by this woodworking instrument. The
information is conveyed all the union, when
the wires are in order; and hence the people of the
west will discover that can be far in advance of
eastern papers in regard to news And if they wish
to encourage their own papers, as well the Tele-
graph itself. they must literally patronze the former
that they may be enabled to meet the increased out
lay. We hope they will take due notice and govern
themselves accordingly.

STEAM PASSAGE TO UPPER CALFoRN1A.-Itis stated
in the New York Journal of Commerce that Messrs.
Rowland and Aspinwall, in furtherance of their al
ready extensive operations the shores of the Pa
cic, having obtained the government mail contract
are constructing three steamers which are to ply
monthly between Panama and Oregon, touching at
the prominent ports of California. These steamers
are to commence running winter, in connection
with one from New York to Chagrcs at the Isthmus.
When these arrangements shall have taken effect,
the passage from New York to San Francisco in Up
per California can be made in thirty days. 1t occu
pies about four months. The time consumed in
ing the Isthmus seldom exceeds thirty hours.
