A GREAT ENrERPEIsE.-Th Rutland
Railroad Company have recently entered
upon an undertaking which when com
pleted will be one Of the greatest i'm
ever made in our city and
will be Of incalculable advantage to its
business interests We refer to the Ter,
canals and basin now under process OF
construction about fifteen rods south OF
the passenger depot, and which are all to
be finished by autumn. The plan is to
convert the old and unsightly cove, which
has simply served as a hive to frogs, cells
and pickerel in the summer months and
skating park in the winter, iuto a vast
lumber yard, with piers, canals, docks,
&c., which may be continued east and
south al mtinihtm. A canal 30 feet wide
and of sufficient depth for ordinary vessels
will be made from the cove into the lake
about 800 feet south of the "old culvert,"
with draw where it crosses the railIoad
track. This canal connects with a SPLEEN
did basin 800 feet square and 3 feet deep
at low water. On the grounds skirting
this dock, Lawrence Barnes & Co. who
own large amount of real estate in this
locality, intend erecting large planning
MILL besides having spacious yards for
lumber and other articles of freight and
merchandise From this basin this en-
terprising firm also propose extending
canal southwark and parallel with the
railroad track, along which docks and
piers can easily be made as the necessities
of their business may require The dis
lance from this canal to the track is l05
feet.
A breakwater to protect the shipping is
now being built by the contractor, Mr..
Luther Whitney of Port Douglas, n Y.
1t will be 600 feet long, with pier ex-
tending from its southern end to the
south side of the canal and draw The
condition of the ice is such this winter
