IMPROVEMENTS OF THE FOX AND WISCONSIN
RIVERS,

RIVERS.
A canal connecting these two Rivers
is about 10 be constructed, which will
with the improvements that are also be-
ing made in the rivers, open a direct
communication between Lake Michigan
and the Mississippi. We are glad to see
this work going ahead so finely, as it will
be Of vast Importance to that section of
country, and indeed to the whole State,
to have those great waters thus connected.
The contract for the construction of
this canal has been recently let; and our
fellow townsman, Mr.. Thomas REYNOLDS.
was the successful bidder. The canal is
near one mile and half in length, and is
to be so constructed that the waters will
be A feet wide on the bottom go feet
at the top water line, and four feet deep
at ordinary stages Of water in the streams
The contract sti puIates that the work
shall be completed by the LIST Of July,
1850; but Mr.. Reynolds informs US that it
is his intention to have it completed du-
ring the coming fall: and his promptness
and perseverance in whatever he under
takes, is pretty sure guarantee that it
will be done. We are highly gratifed
that the work has fallen into so good
hands, and hope friend R. will make a
handsome profit out Of the enterprise.

Another WISCONSIN Wonder.-The Fon
