A CoLD DoDGE-On Friday morning last,
while one Of the denizens of Tunnel Town
was quietly enjoying the Potomac breezes
from the brink Of the classic Ice House Hill,
he was, without due warning, approached
by two city policemen, who produced war
rant for his arrest, and requested his imme.
diate appearance at the Mayors office. Tun-
mel Town, Of course, was startled, but not
confused whether from familiarity with the
proceedings, or not, We are unable to say
for, without n moments hesitation, be
requested one Of the officers to step aside
for an instant, Is he had private COM
munication 10 make tG the other, and when
the officer had complied with his request, he
suddenly sprang down the bank and rushed
into the water. arm-pit deep. As there was
no boat on the beach, and as the officers had
arrived 1t the rheumatic period of life, they
were evidently in "A bad fix, and would have
remained so for some time--for Tunnel Town
was used to the watcr--had they not have
been extricated by the submerged individual
himself, who, after q parley, in which he sta
ted his objections to being seen in the COM
pany of police officers, declared his willing
ness to meet them at 3 clock that evening,
at the Mayors office. At the appointed
,ime of course he was there?

receive the water, with the exception of that
part at Cabinjohn Bridge, which cannot be
done till sometime in the year 1861. The
work at the Rock Greek Bridge is proceed

they will have completed the abutments be-

TnE CASAL--The Williamsport Ledger,
of the 9th, says :--''rae:e is an unusual brisk
trade passing on the Canal. Boats are now
running to and fro with their three-mule
nower engine without interruption or cessa-
ton. We are glad to perceive growing
confidence in this concern. We hope this
confidence may still increase; it will be we'll
for the canal and we'll for our farmers. The
Hagerstown Mail says:-We understand
that the Canal Board have paid off debts to
the amount Of so, 300, contracted by the late
board"

mcnt of this Rcpablic up into the hands OF
Slavery without dispute or resistance, to re
ceive from it such grants and indulgcnccs
for Freedom as may suit its despotic caprice
or interest whilst the term sectionals as APP
piled to Republicans, has no relevancy, as
Republicanism is not sectional, but national
not for national Slavery, but for national
Freedom, and if Slavery must exist let it not
subject the federal government to its pur-
poses and control, but find its protection I'M
der the laws of the State which may be SO
unfortunate as to have within its bosom this
dangerous element. QUERY.
