was full, ,and the upper gates standing oPen'
the large wooden gates at the lower end OF
the lock gave way, and in a short time
were swept entirely out. The Supervisor
of the Susquehanna Division, Maj. H. D.
RodearmaI, who was in the neighborhood
a, the time, was on the spot shortly after.
and within the short period Of eight hours
had new gates constructed. and placed IN
position, and boats passing thro' the Lock
as usual. This remarkable fea, speaks
volumes for Maj. Rodearmel. and proves
him to be one of the most energetic and
efficient Supervisors upon the hne of the

it was objected to him at the time OF his
appointment, that he was but young man,
and inexperienced. But having had occa-
sion to pass along this Division some
weeks since, we can attest from our own
observation, that this part Of the Canal
has never been kept in better order than
has been the case this season. We have
also the concurrent testimony Of persons
living along the line. that Maj. r. has

Pork Eating.

The Jews, Turks, Arabians, and all they
who observe the precept of avoiding blood
and swine's flesh, are infinitely more free
from disease than the Christians; more es-
pecially do they escape those opprobria of
the medical art, Serofiild, gout, consumption
and madness. The Turks eat great quanti-
ties of honey and pastry, and much sugar +;
they alo eat largely aud are indolent, yet do
not suffer from dyspepsia, as the Christians
do. The swine-fed natives of Christendom
suffer greater deyastations from a painful
tubercular disease of the bowels (dysentery)
than from any other cause. Under my own
observation, and in my own experience
those persons who abstain from swine's flesh
and blood, are infinitely more healthy and
free from humors, glandular diseases, dys-
pepsia and consumption, while in those dil-
tricts, and among those classes of men where
the pig makes the chief article of diet, tu-
bercle in all its forms of eruptions, sore legs
bad eyes and abscesses, most prevail. Ii il
remarkable in coincidence, that Prince Ed
wards Island has a climate exactly similar
to Great Britain, yet the inhabitants are mo-
consumptiye, neither is the pig there cult
