Stone ; are so abundant & so easy wrought, that in ; some instances four or five men will quarry from 75 to 100 perches in a day, most of .them fit for laying into front walls of a lock. AH who have viewed the route from the Portage summit northwardly, and who are experienced in canalling, concur in stating that they have never known a canal line so conveniently and abundantly supplied with all the materials necessary for the works required to be erected on the Canal. One or two of the locks, and several of the sections, will probably be finished this fall. Although the contracts were generally taken at prices below the estimates of the

r.ngmeers,xpenence proves that the workcan be performed at the contract prices, at a reasonable profit to the contractors. Almost every kind of work has already :been subjected to the test of experiment. The successful prosecution of this noble work, seems to he "railuullv alia vino- thn

As Mr. Ruteh's Spelling Book, adapted to Walker's principles of English orthography' and pronunciation, is now esteemed superior to any other in the Western Crtuntry, or perhaps in the United States, an excellent set of Stf reotype plates has I een procured for the printing of it, and its future editions will therefore be uniform as well as correct. Among the recommendations already given to this work, the following may be sufficient to lay before the public. . Fro.n the Rev. Horace Ilollcy, L. L. D President, of Tranylvaniari University. (Directed to the author.) Dear Sir, I have examined votir "New Ameri
