Mary's says: It is reported that Gen. Weitzel will recommend to congress the propriety of constructing new locks on the north side of the old ones, 800 feet long and 70 feet wide, with gates in the middle to be used or not, as the business requires. A lock this length would allow a tow to run in and lock with harály more trouble than shortening their tow lines. There is no doubt that in a few years the increase of business will be such that it will requir the services of three large locks. Gen Weitzel sees that this necessity is only a very short distance in the future, and the sooner congress sees it also the better it will be for the commerce of the great lakes. De.

"Brud der," said one of his friends at the closo of tbc meeting, "you ain't got de hang ob dat ar word. It's besettin', not upsettin'." "Brudder," replied the other, "if dat's so it's so. But I was prayin' de Lord to save us from de sin of 'toxication, an' ef dat ain't an unsettin' sin I duno what am."

When the eggs are kept in a liquid they lose no moisture by evaporation, but when kept dry they lose some of their water, and their nuality I s thereby deteriorated. '
