has nearly ceased for the season, and
Consequently all business of the "Divi.

with the close of the fiscal wear of
the Canal Co.. the receipts will doubt.
less exceed those OF any other wear since
the opening of the canal; and by Spring
the works of the company will have IN

lord greater facilities TO the rapidly IN.
cEeasing trade.
The project OF another canal is b..

Last night another brilliant marriage
rte came off at the hotel Of Mr.. Bou-
.chell. Mr.. William Pnrdy and Mrs.
Mary Nandergrift were the happy pair
The calattumpinnS were out as usual to
the disgrace OF themselves and the ipop-
Hdy of life and limb Of others. How
regardless of self respect ami how little
Of the rights OF Others to the enjoyment
OF comfort or pleasure is evinced bv
soH'e persons, on all such occasions,
The result of last night, proceedings,
will, it is hoped, be a warming in the
future. Among the other things used
tOannoy and mar the festivities, an old
broken cannon was brought in front of
the hotel, charged with two pounds of
powder, to which a slow match was at
tachrd. The result was the bursting of
'tne piece, and but for the Intervening of
,scoumn supporting thereof OF tho porch
In 'front.' of the building, the breach of
the gun would have gone directly into
The parlor window. where some forty or
fifty persons were at the time: a large
part OF whom were females. The es-
cape was a most mira cuous one; scarce
Iva whole window pane is left in the
lower part of the building, the roof in
one place is completely lifted from its
bed, while several portions of the front
.pmch is much shattered and tom. The
damage done to the house vii cost some
Iity or sixty dollars to repair it. Of
course those who did It look upon the
matter as piece of sport, willie the pro-
tHletor ofthe building pays the cost.
Faithfully yours, AcuArGs.
