CANAL BREAK.-Last Wednesday night
a break occurred in the bank of the Canal
at Division street. and the water rushed
out with muck force. 1t passed through
cooper shop, around the corner of the Ger
man Evangelical Church, and into large
hole opposite the culvert. In its course
through the cooper establishment, it made
quite scattering amongst the timber, and
filled the large cellar of the concern.
Some citizens wenttO work and stopped the
break, else all that part of town would have
been flooded The break was occasioned by
the bank being beaten down by water carts
passing over it.
Yesterday the steam fire engine was en-
gagged in pumping the water out of tho cell
lar back into the Canal. As it was pumped
oat of the cellar it soaked in from the pond
which had been formed, and the steamer
was obliged to do considerably more work
than was calculated on.
The Evansville daily journal., 1860-02-18
Varieties.

DURING the recent cold weather, the citi-
zens of Petersburg, Va, were compelled to
replace the water in their metres by whisky.
Last Saturday a gentleman not being able
to get his gas to burn, proceeded down the
cellar to find out the cause. There he found
his servant man drunk, screw out of the
metre, and the whisky gone. The darkey
had sucked the metre dry.
A FIREMAN's ToAsT.-The ladies-their
eyes kindle the only flames we cannot ex-
tinguish, and against which there is no in
surance.
For forty years a fanatical Hindoo culti-
waited the growth of a finger nail and he
found its measure to be thirteen inches and
half
EACH of the crew of the Fox have been
presented by Lady Franklin with an elegant
silver watch, valued at fI0, bearing a suit
able inscription on the outer case, and sur
mounted by an engraving representing the
Fox under full sail.
On the 18th, the anniversary of Frank
Inns birth, colossal statue of the philos-
| opher was erected in Philadelphia, in front
of the market which bears his name. The
statue is cut from Pictou stone, weighs
about six tons, and is much admired for de-
sign and execution.
| MICHIGAN Southern and Northern Indi-
ana Rail Road Stock is quoted at &c. 1t at
one time was as high as l47 per share. That
was during the high times of 1856.
WESTERN C1TIRs.-A friend of ours who
has Just returned from Cincinnati and St
Louis, informs US that business at the former
place is remarkably brisk, while at the lat
ter there is a perfect stagnation, with very
slight prospects of improvement. He states
that there are in st. Louis over six hundred
houses and stores for rent, and that prepara-
tions are being made for a general stampede
from that city to places where better Oppor-
tunities are offered for business facilities
ST. Louis is like Dubuque was some time
since, perfectly depressed, the spirit of wild
speculation has made sad inroads upon the
commercial and business interests of thai
city, the same as it did with US in the year:
1757-58.-DubuQue Times.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON once said to ar
intimate friend: " Men gave me some credi
