Trip Through Canal.
The Clyde arrived at Delaware
City, the gates to the canal about ]
O'Clock. Owing to the steamer not
being able to proceed through the
canal, because of the locks being so
narrow. the party of business men
Idisembarked and boarded the two
large barges On these, towed by
tugs. they proceeded to st. Georges.
The barges there we're locked
through the second gates and Lore
wood Grove, about two miles away,
was soon reached.

biles from this city. La-e this m )ln-
ing it was stated that Senator Sauls-
bury and Congressman Brockson
were detained at Washington and
might not get to the Grove.
