To the Police Jury:
The undersigned, special committee ap-
pointed January 20, 1881 to inquire into the
probable cost OF putting down a banquette
around the Court House square have inves-
tigated the matter and believe that the
Schillenger patent pavement would be the
proper kind OF banquette to lay.
Such benque, te would cost about $1,000.
brick cIrbihg with top course of Lake or
fire brick laid III cement would cost about
S35O.O0; the sard tor lcveling and other i'll
cidentals would be about $4,000.

ample for the work as above proposed.

LIFE on THE CANAL.

Mr.. Geo. II. Mock; who has been
sent out by the Maryland Sunday school
Union to organize Union Sunday schools
at different places along the Chesapeake
& Ohio canal, gives an interesting ac-
count of his labors in a series Of letters
to the Baltimore Truth. He reports
that Williamsport and Hancock are
both dull just dow in every branch of
business, owing 10 the depressed coE-
dition of affairs on the canal. At Clear
spring he met gentleman by the name
OF Gossard who las been the father OF
2l children, 10 of whom are still living.
Speaking OF the morality OF tie boat
men on the canal he says:
81 have often heard of immorsllty on
the canal, but have failed 10 End any
more among the boatmen ihae ordinari-
" in our towns aud cities. have trav-
eled considerable up and down the Ca
nal, and have in every instance been
treated with the utmost respect, and
with one or two exceptions have heard
no swearing; and in no instance have
heard the least yulgarily. Some OF
these boatmen have their wives and
children aboard. II is nervous sight
TO see the little ones running about the
peck, expecting every moment 10 see
them fall overheard, while the parents
look on with perfect indifference. Very
few children have been drowned in tho
canal, out many have fallen overheard,
and were speedily rescued by the boat
men. love TO talk 10 these bostmcn;
many of them have noble hearts, aud
they even try TO appreciate Your inter
est in their welfare. 81 don't want TO
run on Sunday, and wish the law would
stop it altogether, but if one boat stops
the others pass, aud the boat has 10
wait several days longer 10 be unloaded,
for the first one enters is the first nn-
loaded" These men and women do not
hear the Gospels sound, and the fact
that boats run on Sunday keeps business
in motion during the Lords day all
along the canal. ! asked boy at one
of the locks if he attends Sunday School.
''No, sir" he replied. 81 haven't time,
j have TO stay IN the store on SUNDAY.
On inquiry ] found that the stores are
not only kept open on Sunday, but it is
thoir busiest day, and considered 10y
them the most profitable.
In conversation with lady the wifo
of one of he boatmen; discovered that
"The Saturday Night" is the standard
canal literature, especially for the wo-
men. presented her with number
Of tracts which she said she would read,
and conversed with her about the.
wesghty matters of life. She listened
attentively, and talked freely. After n
while she retired to the cabin, aud I
heard her singing in no disdorcant
tone, "There is rest beyond the river, y
Let us hope her thoughts had been
turned TO that home where the humblest
of earth can have mansion and ieast
upon the riches aud light and glory Of
Divine love. There is rest. Would
that the oppressed and weary masses
OF earth would seek that rect.
