The newspapers OF this section have
been publishing a report that the CheSa-
peake & Ohio canal would be kept open
all winter, i'll order to fill contracts for the
delivery of coal, but we understand that
there is no truth in the statement. The
tact is, navigation has been practically
suspended already by the heavy snow
storm Of this week, and many of the boats
have tied up for the winter. The water
will be drawn off the canal as soon as the
boats that are now storm bound along
the line can reach their home ports.
