The MILLS AGAIN IN OPERATIoN.-This
morning the milleTs on the line of the canal re
ceiyed permission 10 run their mills as usual
until further orders. There is still a scarcity of
water in the canal, and it is not improbable that
the mills viii be compelled 10 cease operations
again to- morrow, unless there is heavy fall of
rain.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO THE CANAL.-It is
unoficially reported that the flume of Lock No.
., about seven miles above the Collectors Office,
has been carried away. There IL no official yeri-
hcation of this report but that there Is some
trouble above the Collectors Office Is evident by
the fact that no loaded boa are coming in.
MISCELLANEoUs.-Thes steamer Lady of the
Lake leaves this afternoon for Norfolk, with
Fannon, John Young and Lille Lemen have
arrived with coal for Mayfeld and Heston. The
schooner Burdett Hart has arrived with 800 bar
rels of phosphates for James O'Neil, of this city
and 200 barrels for II. H. johnson, of Washing
ingt IN.
MILL IMPRovEMENT.-Thei improvements in
the mill of Mr.. George Shoemaker, on Water
street, noted a day or two since in THE STAR,
have just been completed, and the mill is now in
of 29K feet in diameter has been replaced by one
ofLeTelfs double turbines of 90 inches in diam
eter, with a considerable gain of power. There
has also been added two pairs of burrs and much
new machinery. The tJtal cost of the new i'm
provements is about $1,000.
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. - The colored
driver, named "Sam," employed on the canal
stomach by mule yesterday, he's been taken to
Il hospital. He is supposed to be injured in
ternally, and his recovery is considered doubt
full.
MERCHANTS ExCHANGE.-There were no
offerings to-day, and consequently no sales.

find that one-half has never been told.
