WIDENING THE PENNSYLVANIA CANAL
There is force of men at work on the
Pennsylvania canal below Harrisburg.
They are digging it wider and deeper. 1t
is said to be the intention of the company
to make the canal of one uniform width
from Hollidaysburg to Havre de Grace, and
six feet deep, and then place double locks
in it similar to those in the New York canal.
1t is great undertaking, and will occupy
the greater part of two years to complete
it; but with that improvement it will be
one of the best canals in the United States.

FOURTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
CINCINNATI, December 5.-The National
R,ari of Trade reassembled this morning.
Mr.. Fraley, on behalf Of the Executive
Committee, reported that the committee re-
commended Richmond as fireplace for hold
inc the next convention. The report was
adopted.
The Committee on Credentials presented
tho credentials Of Mr.. Burwell, delegate
from New Orleans, who thereupon took his
scat.
Specie Rc&,nnpt;on.-Thc president, Mr..
Fralcy, responding for the Philadelphia
board Of Trade, read several propositions
fsvoring the resumption of specie payments
after January LIST, 1870; also that no fur
thcr sales of gold shall be made under
United States authority; that legal-tender
and national bank notes shall be accepted
for duties on imports, and that after July,
$50. lcCsl-tendcr notes shall be redeema-
bic in gold. He thought that the greater
Part o! the difficulty originated ut the time
Of the adoption of the present system, but
it has been greatly aggravated by the policy
@. the Government IN respect to payment of
duties on imports in gold. Had duties been
payable in legal-tenders, gold could have
been procured for ten or twelve per centum
for ali the purposes of the Government. A
certain amount Of contraction was neces-
sary to bring about result that would
have been realized long ago under different
management.
He would not disturb the present rates Of
duties, but by receiving portion of duties
in legal-tenders and converting notes SO re-
ceived, the contraction Of currency might
be effected without serious disturbance to
business. Notes of banks should be placed
on the same footing as the legal-tender
notes of the Government. He would pro-
vide also for such gradual contraction of
the circulation of bankers as would enable
them to safely resume specie payment
without disturbing business. A basis of
onethird in specie is at all times sufficient
10 redeem the circulating notes of banks,
and would also be sufficient for the same
purpose with the Government under this
system of calling upon banks periodically
to redeem limited portion Of the circula-
ton they would be remedied Of the ne
cessity of keeping on hand ample reserves.
lie thought that on the first Monday in
Nav, 1870, there would be found in the
Treasury of the United States at least coin
10 the amount of one-third of the notes in
circulation. Should, however, this not be
the case, he proposed to provide for the sale
Of tcn-forty FIVE per cent. bonds for suffi-
Gent supply.

Marriage MaXimSf

A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing. A man Is what his wife makes
him. 1t is the mother who moulds the
character and destiny of the child
Make marriage matter OF moral judg
ment.
Marry in your own religion.
Marry into different blood and tenn
permanent from your own.
Marry into family which you have
long known.
Never talk at one another, either alone
or In company.
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud at one another, unless
the house Is Ell fire.
Never reflect on a past action. which
was done with a good motive and with
the best Judgment at the time.
Let each one strive to yield oftnest to
the wishes of the other.
Let -abnegation be the daily aim and
effort of EACH
The very nearest approach to domestic
felicity on earth is in the mutual cultiva-
ton of an absolute unselishness
Never find fault unless it is perfectly
certain that fault has been committed ;
and even then prelude it with kiss, and
lovingly.
Never taunt with past mistake.
Neglect the whole world beside, rather
than one onother
Never allow request to be repeated.
Il forgot Is not an acceptable excuse.
Never make remark at the expense
OF another; it is a meanness.
Never part for day without loving
words to think of during absence; besides,
it may be that you will not meet again in
life.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day at Democratic meeting in
jacksonville, I'll. While Gen Mcdonnell
was speaking, a circns procession, prece-
ded by music, drove around the public
square, the band playing lively tune;
whereupon ITS or $50 of the 200 persons
present left the meeting and ran to hear
the band, or to the show At this, Gen.
Mcconnell, usually so amiable, seemed to
lose his temper, and, after pausing a few
moments, said ''Feilow citizens, it is a
BAD sign, | tell you it is bad sign, TO see
the people leave Democratic meeting
and run after id monkey show. Such
conduct convinces me that you care nei-
ther for your party nor your principles. .
