as ye, from the Legislative councils of our
country. The Presidents message has

on Friday last. John A. SnouaN & Co.,
of hi. city, entered into a written con-
tract, with surety, for the building Of a
Government dam across the Potomac riv

The dam is 10 be Of substantial masonry.
about feet high according TO specifra-
lions, to be built by the perch, and is es-
tima,ed to cost some $4,000. The par
agraph copied from the Baltimore Sun,
stating that this contract was awarded to
Nessrs. Il. Moore & Co., Of Buffalo, it
will be seen from the above, was errone-

dam will materially benefit the &. d O..
