CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL. The fo-
loving from the Cumberland Times would seem
to verify the predictions that have been made
abau, the C.& 0 Canal - effort was made
last Wednesday to let off the water on this end
of the Cumberland level of the canal in order
to make repairs The effort was failure
however, on account of the eaky condition Of
the lock and feeder, the water running in about
as fast as it could be made to run out In con-
sequence the work Of cleaning out proceeds
rather slowly, rubber suits aod sort of diving
apparatus having been brought into requsition
to remove the coal aud sediment from under
the different wharves OF course there are ex-
ccIIent reasons why this cleaning out was not
commenced sooucr, or the leaky condition of
the feeder discovered before. lt is not expect
Cd that Mr.. German eau attend to too many
things at ouce, aud making appointments for
Aygauy County (iu which be met with indif
tcreut >uccesS) had to take precedence of his
own official business. HIS responsibilities are
srcat aud it cannot be expected that all of bis
valuable time will be devoted to the duties of
,hn office OF canal president at only $4,000 per
year, and ten per CT. on the cash paid iu iqui-

DEATH OF COL. IL. sZYMANSKI.

To the large circle of friends of the late

4:30 o'clock, aftsra short illness, he breathed
his last passing away quietly as the ap-
preaching twilight stole on.
Col Szymanski was a native Of Poland,
from which codntry he was driven by reason
Of his political opinions, and at an early age
emigrated to this country. Not long after his
arrival here his great experiences with the
sword won for him the professorship of arms
