ENLARGEMENT or rns ERIx CANAL.--Pro-
vision has been made by the New York Leg
islature for the speedy completion Of the en-
largsnens Of the Erie Canal.
The news Of the passage Of the bill was
received with the utmost enthusiasm all
along the line, and bon6res, Examinations,
public meetings, and speeches were the or
der Of the day, and night too.
The cost Of enlargement is to be betrayed
by direct taxation.
The completion Of this great work 10 .
matter of no little importance to the West,
~ it will increase the facilities Of transpor-
tation, and may reduce the price by means
Of the kesner competition which will arise
between the railroad and canal lines.

At : meeting Of the congregation Of the
First Presbyterian Church, Of Keokak, the
following resolutions we're adopted:
Whereas, the failing health Of the Rev. De-
Long renders it expedient, in his estimation,
under sdvice Of his Physicians, that he should
discontinue his ministerial lgbors among ~,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the members and congre-
gatisa OF the First Presbyterian Church, ten
der him their grateful acknowlsdgmsn for
the devotion and ability with which he has
discharged his arduous duties - Pastor Of
said church, during the year past, and for
the beneficial effects OF his ministry under
Providence upon the congregation, during
his brief term Of labor in our midst.
Resolved, That ws deeply deplore the ne
cessity which demands the suspension Of his
labors, and feelingly sympashise with him in
the adjective dispensation which demands the
cessation Of his labors, and his withdrawal
from the position in which he has secured
the profound respect Of the community, and
the kindest regards and esteem Of the con-
gregation.
Resolved, That the prayers Of the church
attend our brother in his retirement, and
that We indulge the most sincere desires and
confident hopes that the God, whom he %
faithfully serves, will spare his life and
speedily restore to him health and grant him
many years Of abundant usefulness to the
| church and the world.

most voluminous style; and having on rich
silk Of greenish hue, looked like lovely bust
on tho summit Of new-mown hay stack.
Butter6eld was appalled, for moment bat
hearing her CRY sAmosr he answered hystsri-
oally, My Amandsr!' and rushed on. He ran
three times round Mrs. ButtcrAeld, but !,

to climb her, but the hoops gave way and

ever Witnessed. Finally, Mrs. Buttsr6sld
sat down, and Amos got behind her chair
and kissed her, until their little offspring,
BY bowling and biting the oaf Of his log,
created diversion. They were very happy,

appeared delighted; and small boy, yeai
