The Wabash and Fie Canal from Terre Haute to Toledo, has been leased to responsible parties for the term of ten .years, and is now being put in permanent repair, and on the first of April will be in as good a coudition as it has ever been. The company are building several new boats, and many individuals are also building boats, which shows that canal navigation is to be a permanent thing from this time for thc next ten years at least.

A daily line of canal boats will commence running from Terre Haute to Toledo on thc first of April, and H. B. Smith, of our city, is fully authorized to contract freight to and from New Yoik by thc Erie canal and lake, at about one-half thc present railroad freight. This is an important movement, and will, we hope, be encouraged and sustained by our citizens.:—T. II. Krpress.
