to-day that two Lighthouses are gone at
Great Falls, and that there are three
breaks on Cabin John level, and three
breaks on Log Wall level. Two locks are

John level Ia gone, and there is break
on the two-mile level above the falls.
The outlet lock below Harper's Ferry is

many places is in a decidedly worse CON-
dition than ever before.
