The work OH the Ohio Canal is nov pro-
crossing with great spirit and success. Most
of the line which was put under contract in
June, between this place and the Portage
summit, is already grubbed and cleared.
The excavation is going on briskly and
some sections are nearly finished. Large
quantities of stone have been quarried, and
several THOUSAND feet are cut, ready for
building the walls of the locks. Water
limestone, for about 80, COO bushels of water
cenent has been quarricd, and klns are
building for burning and mill for grinding
I it. This quarry Of water limestone is direct
! ly on the canal ling, about midway of the
greatest fight Of locks on the line between
the Portage Summit and valley ofthe Cuya-
hoga. durable stream with sufficient wa
ter and fall 10 drive mill for grinding the
lime, passes Immediately over the quarry:
and it seems as if nature had PREPARED til:
whole for the express purpose to which it is
now appropriated.


All who have viewed the route from the
/ Portage summit noithwardly, and who are
experienced III canaling, concur in stating
that they have never known canal line Sc

all the materials necessary for the works re-

two Of the locks, and several of the sections,
will probably be finished this fall.


Alt ough the contracts were generally ta-
ken at prices below the estimates of the En-
gineers, experience proves that the work
can be performed at the contract prices, at
a reasonable profit to the contractors. Al
mostevery kind of work has already beer
subjected to the test of experiment.
