DISMAL SWAMP CANAL.

We understand that in a few days
there will be an official announce
ment that the Old Dismal Swamp
Canal will be open to navigation for
steamers and other vessels carrying
not over 10 feet draft, and that the
shoals and other distractions in our
sounds and navigable water courses
will be dredged out by the Govern
ment to that depth. We think the
principal benefciaries Of this great
work Of internal impr rvement will be
Baltimore, in Maryland, and Eliza beth
City, in North Carolina. These two
places will be the main points at the
northern and southern terminal of
the trade passing from the Carolina
sounds.-Elizabeth City On. c. Econ

A QUEER WAR INCIDENT.

Speaking Of these short Tushes for
ward a queer thing happened at Gui-
guinto, where perhaps half Of the SOL
diers in one regiment found hens. Be-
fore there was time TO kill the fowl
orders came to go forward. A little
farther out the regiment lay down I'M
der fire for some Einutes Then the
order came to charge. Up and forward
with a yell rushed the soldiers, but
over the cheering rose another sound.
Three or four hundred hens, objecting
to being carried head down with feet
tied to the strap of a haversack, set up
a frantic squawking, such as was prob
ably never heard along line Of charg-
ing military before.-Manila Core

PROSPECT EXCELLENT.
BlackstoneV alley Road Will
Enter Whitinsville
This Season.

Whitinsville, April 22-The electric
road question which has figured so
much lately in town affairs and which
for a time past seems to have been DOR
mant, is again before the public. The
delay gave a number Of people the i'm
preston that perhaps the road would
never come this way. There was rea-
son for this, however. The engineer for
the electric road people was absent in
the south on vacation and this was
the cause OF delay He arrived home
lately and is now making plans.
The chief engineer and two assistants
are busy at the present time in River
dale laying out the proposed route. The
greatest obstruction they meet is in
crossing the railroad tracks Of the N.
Y, N. II. & H. road. They have been
working for some time on a plan to
get over the tracks and have it salts
factory to all concerned. 1t was
thought at first that an addition would
be built to the highway bridge cross
ing the Blackstone river, but this is
about abandoned as 1t would necessi-
tate q great amount Of work on the
bank on the opposite side of the tracks,
and a good grade could not be procured
without a great expenditure Of money,
and also If that was accomplished there
is the possibility that the work would
have to be undone when the grade
crossing at that place is abolished,
which II is likely will be done within a
| few years.
The most feasible and probably the
one that will be presented to the Sc
| lectmen viii call for the route to con-
tinue along the river bank from the
bridge to a point nearly opposite the
house of Michael Scully at the south
side OF the crossing. A bridge win be
built across the river at that point and
cross the tracks at a straight angle.
The roadway will probably be a trestle
bridge over the tracks and continue
along the highway as already stated in
The Spy. The electric cars viii be run
ming in this town this season. This is
an assured fact.

Spencer, April 22.-The board Of Sc
lectment are again puzzled by the an
nouncement that Edward Bryant. who
was appointed night Waterman, would
not serve. Bryant would like the po-
sition, but he will not give up his job
on the electric cars for 20 cents an
hour which the watchnaen will receive.
At 20 cents an hour, they will receive
$3.50 a year, out Of which about 1925
will have to be paid for uniforms.
Bryant does not think that the sum
left after deducting expenses will pay
him for the hard work that he would
have to do and the chances Of not be-
ing reappointed next year.
When told Of his appointment, he
showed considerable surprise, not even
knowing that his name was on the list.
Peter Graveline will accept the posi-
ton and viii soon give up his position
in the Isaac T.. Prouty Boot and Shoe
shop. He Is satisfied with the salary,
and stated that he thought IL would
be easier than the shop. This is the
last try that the French people will
make for officers this year, having
elected every man they had up. Joy
was in their hearts today when learn
ing that Graveline would be on the
force, and questioned by the Spy man
about the offices, they replied that
they were perfectly satisfied with ev-
erything. The question now is who
viii take Bryant's place. The people
are afraid to mention any names on
account Of the surprises sprung by the
seIectmen. The new appointment may
be one Of the regular officers, or he
may be a man that the people viii not
be thinking Of.
