We find the following item Of canal news In
the Cumberland Civilian " Recent ormation
from dam No gives us to understand that boats
will be able to leave that place to-day to
| row. We might safely state that the canal is
now in navigable condition throug bout its entire
| length. There are no boats loading at our coal
whdrves yet. Boatmen still refuse to take on
| shipments at the reduced price, and the coal
| companies do not seem inclined to accede to the
| boatmen's demands for an increase of freights
Quite large number Of boats are tied up at this
| place, from which their owners declare they Will
not move them until fixed price is set for trans
| portation.

pains nor labor In his efforts to properly store
their minds with useful knowledge to furnish
them with sure foundation upon which TO

have several times been req uested TO call the
attention OF the pump doctor to the useless con-
dition Of the one on Second street near the Col

Tor several months, and that the neighbors are

suffer for water during the present overwhelmingly
hot weather
