TIE nurcn nAp CANAL

A correspondent of the Commercial
Advertiser, writing from City Point,
speaks of the Dutch Gap canal, three
miles above Jones Landing and situa-
ted at the head of the next bend above
Approaching Gen. Buffers ''cut OFF,
through Aken's (or Hogan's) plantation
the northern bank Of The river is found TO
grow higher and sleeper until the bend
at Dutch Gap is reached, where the e,e--
vation is probably sixty feet Iu these
banks the men at work (mostly negroes)
have made excavations OF all sizes and
depths. TO protect themselves while eat
ing and sleeping, against the cnemy's
shells
Approaching still nearer, the level and
cleared plateau is seen 10 be cut up with
lines Of rifle pits, holes made by the ex-
plosion of shells, and fnaly by strong
line Of breast. works thrown across the
isthmus at the distance Of perhaps one
hundred and fifty yards this side Of the
canal. The visitor approached a little
closer and sees that the cut is in an nd
vanced stage Of construction The lower
half has been finished and dredged out at
its entrance by one of the two machines
moored safely down stream under the
high bank The greater part of the
second section has been cut down below
water line, and the boys are working
away. Towards the upper end bank,
from five to twenty feet thick, has been
left to keep of the current.
And now for facts and figures The
canal will be five hundred feet in length,
or including dredging, in water five hun
dred and fifty feet Its breadth at the
top of the cut is one hundred and twenty
five, and at the bottom sixty five feet,
the sides having very steep slopes 1t will
have fifteen feet of water at low tides
(these being slightly felt here This short
cut will soon save a navigation of seven
miles, the Southern shore beyond that
point being high and PERCEPTIONS Brig.

CURIOUS noAxEs IN CINCINNATI.


From the Cincinnati GAsstte, Deeeaber, II
A good hoax is sometimes allowable,
and the following statement of occurren-
ces that actually transpired last evening
will do to laugh over once. but their re.
petition in any community would soon
call for some electual measures to detect
and punish the rogues.
1t was after O'Clock when one Of our
ministers-who, from bis genial and lively
disposition, is fast earning the reputation
of the Marrying Parson-returned from
his Wednesday evening meeting, and was
handed note by his wife, signed Charles
NJ. Bay, that requested him TO call at q
certain house on llth street, TO perform a
marriage ceremony. Inclosed was the
liberal fee OF ten dollars. Not to be be-
hind time, the parson hurried of to No.
Fifth street. Wheu the door was
opened, he found guy assemblage of
young folks, the gentler sex prepondera-
ting Announcing the object Of his visit,
he was surprised that no one seemed TO
understand it; and the gggle of the girls
gave him an inkling of the fact that call
from one of his profession was q novelty
to that crowd. He was assured that there
was to be no marriage there, whereupon
he beat a hasty retreat.
Thinking the figure in 5th street
might be meant ior 8, our parson hurried
off in that direction, but, although be was
treated more courteously at the cores
ponding number in that street. he found
nobody disposed to be married. Being
satisfied that he had been hoaxed, no
walked by No--Filih street, and, while
talking with couple Of policemen us to
the character OF the house, his friend, q
popular undertaken, passed him in SOL

A MAN Sn0T IN INDIANA.

The Cincinnati Gazette says: "a
sin yular affair occurred last Tuesday
evening at Franklin, Madison county,
Indiana, by which man uumed Noah
Egerson lost his life. The particulars of
the affair run thus:
"About a week ago Egerson took
quantity of wheat to the establishment of
q miller named Jordan, which he disposed
of at the market price, and departed -
About the same time a similar quantity
of wheat was stolen from neighbor in
the vicinity, and Egerson was suspected
OF being guilty of the theft. A warrant
was placed in the hands of the sheriff, who
arrested Egerson, and while on the way
to Jail called on Jordan. During con-
versation that ensued the miller was re.
quested to state whether he ever bought
any wheat from the prisoner He replied
athrmatively, whereupon he was attacked
by Egerson. Jordan drew pistol. and,
Notwithstanding his opponent was in the
hands of the sheriff, fired, the ball enter
ing the left temple OF the unfortunate man,
and causing his death almost instantly"

OPENING AND CLOSING OF FLOWERS.
The phenomenon of the opening and
closing of flowers is not a momentary
movement but a slow and continuous
process, which is continually varying in
intensity during the different hours of the
day. The complete expansion seldom
exceeds an hour in duration, most fire.
quently not so long The petals then
begin to close, at first slowly. but alter
wards more rapidly as they become folded
together, and in this closed condition tho
flower continues until the time of opening
again returns Some flowers require a
greater amount of light and heat to enable
them to open, than others, Therefore,
the hours of the day are, to u certain ex-
tent, indicated by their opening and
closing. Thus the common Morning
Glory opens at dawn, the Star of Bethe.
