a VEro MESSAGE. The Vice Prcsi-
dent laid before the Senate, on the % in
slant, q message from the President of
the United States, which was read, Civ
ing his reasons for retaining the bill max
ing an appropriation to deepen the chan
mel Of the St. Clair Flats, in the State of
Michigan. The President deemed it a
sufficient reason for retaining it that it
was not presented to him until the last
day Of a former session. suggesting that
harbor improvements could be readily eff
fecied by moderate tonnage duties. The
President appears to entertain no doubt
Of the power Of Congress to construct
such internal improvements as may be
essentially necessary to secure protection
against foreign foe, but does not recog-
Mise the present bill as being within that
class Of measures.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL
The canal board, at their meeting last
week, contracted with Messrs. Hassctt
and Herr to repair the breach at dam
No. 5, created by the late frcshet. The
Hagerstown Herald says;
We learn that there is no doubt but
that the canal will be in good order as
soon as the water becomes low enough
to enable the work to be done. The
contractor for the work at No. 4 was or
dered to complete it with the greatest
possible dispatch The New York Coal
Companies refused to give the least aid
unless the canal board would authorize
their agent to let the work and permit
him to give $3.50, 600 for the repairs at
both dams. The board refused to trans
fer their powers to the agent Of the coal
companies, prefcting to Let the work to
our own citizens, especially as they have
agreed to do it for one half the amount
asked by the New Workers.

Good fruit is 50 desirable, and SO rel

be, is yet far 100 small. Especially is
there Il want of attention Us to the quail

apple trees bear fruit lit only for hogs,
and should be grown in the woods IN

down and plant out good fruit trees,
and let every farmer consider that un'
