\ NEW steam eanal-boat was put on her trial trip
last week, between Lafayette Indiana, and Toledo
distance Of 220 miles. She made the round
"trip in about five days having another boat in tow
on her return, The gain in time over the old
horsepower" arrangement, was something over
two days, while the saving in expense WAS Sl6.23
the cost formerly being about sSooo. The Ioe-
do Commercial in noticing this experimental trip
says Considering the saving Of expense, the greater
speed attained and the fact that ii necessary, one
or two common boats can be taken in tow, We may
regard this experiment as, in every respect sue
cesslul. We think that without doubt great
revolution will be accomplished in Canal nayiga'
iion aud we are pleased that one Of the most sue
cessiul trials Of this nature has been made upon
our own canals. The opinion Of all our business
men, and those intorestedn canal matters that the
experiment is in every respect successful.

LOCAL MRTT AND PREJU pic.

WE are apt to place too much valuo upon our
local interests for our own good and those around
us. The living principles Of Truth are not conln.
ed to any particular church denomination, or any
one place upon earth, and the great object of pro-
claiming gospel light is to raise the souls of men
out Of the fog and miasma of local ana sectional
prejudice, that they may bask In the sunshine of
true appreciation, that they may value merit
wherever it is found, whether in the humble cot
lage, or stately mansion. Too much good is daily
lost, by fostering spirit of contention, and the
beauties Of tle kingdom of grace seen by the single
eye, Of faith, are marred 10y the appeals made to
The physical eye by world of show and sense.
The man of true worth is often passed by because
he wears rough, course cCa;, and vainly sought
for beneath thc tnscl and lncry of the world.
