which was to have been had In the Susque-
hanna and Tidewater Canal case last Monday
did not take place, owing to agreement
having been reached by the counsel for all
the parties to the case 1t is regarded as set
tied that the canal must be sold; when the sale
will take place can not yet be stated. In the
meantime it is agreed by the parties that
Messrs.George L.VanBibber, of Bel All, and S.
johnson Poe, of Baltimore, shall be appointed
receivers to take charge of and preserve the
canal properties and revenues, if any there
are.
As the canal is situated partly in Maryland
and partly in Pennsylvania. concurrent pro-
ceedings have been carried on in York coun-

arise in regard to the jurisdiction Of the Har-
ford county court.
The canal has had trouble from its very be-
ginning and has cost the State large amount
of money. The sooner it is disposed of the
better for all concerned. What will become

but it is to be hoped it will fall into the hands Of
some responsible company that will construct
and maintain a railroad in its Mace
