The Canal Enlargement.
We are rejoiced to hear front llarrislnirg
this the proposed legislation to secure the
enlargement of our canal is Meeting with s
more favorable reception than was anticipa
ted in 5() brief a period, The Western nu-m- .
tiers, including those from Pittsburgh, are
unanimous in support of the mea:urt. l ., and
hate const,lidatet: their inthience to promote
its int , lests It is also understood tlytt the
State Administration is filen liv the pro
ject, though, of eou i re, it cannot he expected
to lend an active elllirt in aiding ifs adoption.
The only thing which the - friends of the ca
nal now look upon as likely to inteAere with
theiridan, is the ojection ur4cd by Its oppo
nents that it Conflicts with the State ronsti
dot ion. Some of our readers may remember
that a number of ycars to an aMendment
•
as adopted which prohibits, the romnion
wealth front loaning its credit to ark measure
of internal improvement. The alit ocates oI
the hill elaim that there is'nothing in it an 7,
iagonistic to tills clause, aTsqleey donut ask a
loan from the 'State, or solicit it ro endorse
their bonds, but propose tlOt it shall purchase
them muright and deposit:them alongside the
securities of other corporations in the sink
ing Fund. The question is now in the hands
of Attorney General lirgwster for a decision,
and, if he reports favorably, there seems to
be but little qubt in the minds of the friendi
of the bill that it will obtain a majority Of
the votes in bsith branches of the Legislature
and be signet! lid the Governor.
Theimportanee of the proposed enlarge
ment is attracting the attention of the Press
in all the Western counties, and that of Pitts
buret is especially zealous in behalt of the
movement. One of th"m pronounces it "the
great enterprise of the day," and predicts
that if it is accomplished, "two-thirds of the
trade Of the Ohio river will find its way to
New York, by way of Eric city, the canal
and Lake." It says "that in such an event
"Erie will double its population inside,of five
years, the Western counties 'null' a prdiper
ity equal to the fondest anticipations of their
citizens, and Pittsburgh become the great
central mart of the continent."
While on this subject we may add that last
fall the canal company were induced to adopt
steps for securing intimnation relative to the
supply ofl water for an enlarged canal, the
probable cost of enlargement, and the advant
ages that would flow from it to the people
along its route. The gentleman selected for
this purpose was W. 'Minh! . Roberts, Esq,,
- an experienced engineer, who had charge of
the work when it was originally construct
ed, and who possesses a Wide reputation as
one of the most skillful persons in his pro
fi•3siun line at present in• the country. Ile
reported that the project was entirely feasi
ble, and enters into an elaborate argument to
prove its necessity to the Western • counties
of State. He says there will be no difficult
in obtaining an adequate supply of water.
and claims that inside of a few years the
trade of the canal would render it one of the
most profitable improvements of the_ age
The entire -eost of the enlargement is set
n at tau twenty-four thousand,
one hundre.l amt s , venty-five dollars. This
wun is matte up on the basis of close vale%
rtubr:teing estimates of every possi
ble expense dot n - to the minutt st items. Mr.
Roberts thinks that the enlargement could
be :mole in two years, or that, could it be

TOM.) FOIL REFLECTION. — The good 1)eople
of Cleveland, who secure their water supply
by pumping it from the Lake,are in a state of
great tribulation in consequence of recent
discoveries made in connection therewith.
For aome time it has been noticed that the,
water had a disgusting odor and flavor of pe
troleum. An examination showed that. for
three-fouiths of a mile west of the inlet pipe,
and at least one thousand feet from the shore,
the water Has equally offensive to taste and
Further investiTition revealed the
tact that a large quantity of refuse and acid
from petroleum refineries had been recently
thrown into the river, and that large tanks
and vats, filled with • tar oil, and
impregnated- with sulphuric acid, were
emptied intro the lake. The c - Micit:Qton of
the Mlle, rs making the examination was, that
- lake water for domestic use must ho aban
doned," or the pollution stuppoel.
DEarnrcTin nat.—The large and bUilding, known ail Wayne Hall, on
Prench.sixect, opposite the Heed Hon e, was
I totally destroyed by fire on Saturday morn
ing last. The lire broke out in a small room,
used for storing coal and kindlings, in the
rear of 3foore's -hilliand room in the third
story, and was first discovered a little before
one o'clock. There was no water at• hand,
or it could easily have been extinguished,
and the fire progressed with provoking cool
ness, until the whole upper portion of the
building was enveloped in dames. from which
they descended floor by floor, to. the cellar.
'The night being mild, the fire was providen
tially confined to the interior of de building,
the thick walls and their height above the
adjoining structures - preventing them from
extending to the litter. The intense cold
had closed up most of the neighboring wells,
and the large tank constructed by the city at
the corner of Freikh and Fifth streets
ing, by some inexcusable neglect, empty of
.water, there is no telling where the fire
might have ended had there bi•en ever so
slight a breeze stirring.

two store-rooms, one of which was occupied
by McConkey & Shannon, hardware dealers,
and the other had
_been vacant for about a
month. The latter firm had a • stock valued
at $40,000, which was partly covered by in
surance. The main• portion of their goods
was removed, but they will suffer a loss of
probably not less than- $lO,OOO. The second
floor was used • for ofliceic The parties oc
cupying them removed most of their proper--

amount to considerable. From the billiard
room on the third floor, nothing df much

mates the value of his tables and fixtures at
8,000, on which lie• had an insurance of
some $3,200. There was no insurance on
the building , and it is a total loss to the
owners. •_lt has paid the legal interest oil

any further delay.
Tug Republican persists in claiming that
`loyalty" is due - to the Government and not
to the Con.titution. It was kind enough to
inform us once that the Government consist
ed of three branches, the Ptecutivi,,Judicial
and Legislative. Will it.uow explain holy it
reconciles its claims to loyalty with its sup
port of only one of these branches? It repu
diates the Executive and Judicial parts of the
- advernment—bitterly:denounces them—and
sustains the Legislative merely. Can a citi

upon the duty assigned the . rn with commend
able alacrity, and expect soon to be in pus
se,siott of information that will enable them
to inform the public what will b" necessary

heretofore, the State Society has award
ed the prisinge of having the State Fair to
the locality which offered the most liberal
inducements, and we presume it will not de
part from its * imstom this year. The selection
of this city as the point would be a matter of
considerable advantage to us, and We trust
that,w hatever_pecuniary inducements may
be tieco.sary will be obtained without diffi

Orit Congressman, Mr. Seorieldds evident
ly desirous of emulating Ashley and Logan
in securing a cheap notoriety. lie introduced
a resolution into-the Rouse last week, assert
ing that in a private conversation one of the
Judges of the Supreme Court had pronounced
the'rreconstruct ion laws unconstitutional, and l i
instructing the Judiciary Committee to " re
port whether the facts constitute such a mis
demeanor in office has requires the House to
present to the Senate articles of impeach- .
merit against" him. The person • alluded to '
is Judge Fields, of California, one of Lin
tioln'a appointees. His friends deny the truth
of the alleged remark, but admit that he is an
enemy of the Congressional plan for perpet
uating the dissolution of the Union. The
resolution•of Scofield gave rise to, consider
able debate, and - was adopted by I.:03 yeas to
57 nays, a number of Republicans voting
against it, it is looked upon as a piece of
buncombe by the press of both parties,. and
we suspect that it Scofield increases his rep
utation by its introduction, the addition will
not,be of a kind to produce mud! envy.
Tin: members of the Grand Army of the
Republic in this city strenuously insist that
it is not established as a political organiza
tion, and several of them have liven gone so
far as to say to us that if they thought it was
they would have nothing to do with it. We
have no doubt that they are sincere in their
btlief, but every circumstance goes to show
that they must be mistaken. The election of
Gens. Logan and Owen, two of the most ex
treme and offensive Radicals, as the chief
officers of the organization, is plain evidence
that the Society is to •be used for partisan
purposes, and when it is also known that the
National Convention unanimously entioised
Gen. Grant for President, tin- confirmation is
too strong to admit of further question. We
feel assured that the Grand Army is only an
other of the many schemes which- the Nadi
cats have invented to draw Democrats into
I their hiltt under non-partisan pretensions,
and afterwards get them so committed that
they will be compelled in honor to support
their candidates. The Democratic—seldiers
in this section Should demand a full knowl

on Tuesday s the 4tb_inst, and the occasion
was appropriately celebrated at the residence
of his son-in-law, Capt Austin, by one .of
Hrs. A,-'a rousing good suppers; to which a
number of his especial friends had been
vited. Everything passed off as merry as a
marriage feast, and the old gentleman was in
the best of spirits, conducting himself more
like a sprightly youngster of twenty than one
who has passed the allotted years of life. He
sung several patriotic songs of the days of
'7O, told a host of racy old stories, and, was
just proposing to dance a jig, when our busi
ness duties compelled us to retire. We do
not doubt that .if he undertOok it, be per.'
formed the different evolutions fully- as well
as any stage performer could. "Grandfather"
Harris, as everybody, young and old, affec
tionately calls him, was born at Salsbury,
Litchfield county, Connecticut, on the 4th of
February, 1781. He was the inventor and .
manufacturer of the celebrated Harris 'axes
and si ytltiai. which secured so great a popu
larity that-his successors continue to use the
original stamp to .this day. - A "dyed-in -the
wool" Democrat, one of .his "tallest" boasts
is that he has never voted any' other ticket
from the day he became of age, and if he
should live to be a hundred, we question if
he ever will. The old gentleman is a great,
favorite with all our citizens, and there is not
a child or grown person in Erie; who will not
join with is in wishing that "Grandfather"
Harris may live to see many happy returns
of his birth-day.
A erntors blazing star made its appear
ance in the North-Western portion of the
sky on Sunday _night, about eight o'clock,
lasting until nine. It, seemed about three
times as large as the famous star of eight
years ago, and had a train apparently varying
from a yard to two yards in length. The star
when first seen was of a dazzling 'red appear
ance, then changed to blue, and again to
whitC, alternating the coloia * number Of times
during its course across the heavens. It
traveled with considerable rapidity for, a
while, but as it neared the horizon, appeared
to move slower. The brightness of its rays
illuminated the atmosphere for a wide dis
tance to such an extent as to eomplct••ly dim
the other stars in that portion of the sky:
About ttt o o'clock in the morning,' a similar
phenomena was witnessed, , though whether
the same star or another of similar nature,
we are compelled to leave persoris of more
scientific knowledge than ourselves to decide.
It is a singular fsct that these extraordinary
spectacles hare al wa3 a immediately preceded
bloodshed in our country. An old lady whsb
remembrance of the war of ISI2 is very die

THE Meadville Republican devotes three
and a hill columns to a report of the pro
ceedings in - the case of Dunn vs. Klump,
tried in that place last week. Klump is a
"Copperhead," and Dunn is a "trooly loll"
man, and Conneautville is their abiding place.
In a dispute, Klump said some ugly things
about Dunn's conduct. in the army, which
Dunn felt to be so base a stigma upon his
character that he demanded the verdict• of a
jut,' upon it. The trial wa's in - many of its
features a perfect fac simile of .Bardell vs.
Pickwick,and the speech ot 11. L. Richmond,
•
one of plaintiff's attorneys, resembles so
closely that of Sergeant Buzfuz, that it' we
were not assured of the opposite, we should
imagine it was a literal,copy of that celebra
ted legal effort. It is" scarcely necessary to
add that Dunn won the day, and poor Klump
was "socked" to the extent of $7OO for speak
ing di-trespectfully of his "boil" fellow citi
zen.
Tars New Castle Gazette has some welt
timed remarks on the retirement of Mr. J.
M. Kuester and his son from the proprietor
ship of the Journal in that place. Mr. Kiwi.

the Observer, many years ago. He claimed
to be a Democrat until the outbreak of the
War, when, seeing a chance to put money. in
his purse, he suddenly becaMe the most "loy
al" of the "loyal."' The son however, con
tinued to be a rampant Democrat for some
time Oct, and denounced his father severely
for turning his coat. All at once his opinions
were changed, and the Two united in print
ing the Journal, one of thefoulest Radical
sheets of this section. Theit pretensions of
"loyalty" did not pay, and being distrusted
by their new allies, they were at length fdreed
to hand the paper over to other hands. Their
example is a sad warning to' all who it onld
betray their principles for a " mess of pin
tage."

Tar;-papers of the oil region continue to
assail old .31r. Benninghotf with relentless
severity. If all they say of him and his fam

persons in that section synipathize with them
in the loss they have sustained. Their acts
of charity are represented to be, "like angers

miserly character even then.. Truly wealth
brings neither happiness nor honor, unless

The following from the Tionesta . (Forest Co.)
Press illustrates how an occurrence that may
seem very ordinary to outsiders, can stir up
the whole - locality where it takes place
"The 0 - vat local event of the week, -was
the marriage of Mr. Henry Bates and Miss
Helen May, at the residence of the bride's
father, Mr. IL H. 3lay, by Rev. Rankin,
of the Presbyterian church. The ceremony
was performed in the good old Puritan style,
and as it will be new to many of our readers
we give it. The couple presented themseliea
before the Clergyman, facing each other, w hen ,
after shaking hands, the groom addressed the
bride: 'Helen, I take you to be my wedded
wife, and I promise before God and this-Com
pany that I will love, comfort, honor and
keep you in sickness and in health so long as
we both shall live.' When the, bride said:
'Henry, I take you to be_my wedded husband,
for better or for worse, and I will love, honor
and keep you in sickness and in• health, so
long as we both shall live.' They then joined
right hands and laced the elergyinan, who
said .4 - ---'Having made these. promises before
God and these witnesses, by authority vested
in me, I pronounce you husband and wife,
, and let no one put asunder those who have
thus been joined together. Let us pray.' And
this simple, beautiful and common sense cer
emony was cloSed with a brief and appropri
ate prater.. Some two hundred guests from
different parts of the county were present, all
of whom were entertained in a style befitting
the occasion."
WE ANNOUNCE, with painful feelings, the
death Of Mr. W. L Chellis, late city coljector
for this office, :which occurred at , his father's
residence on -Tuesday morning. He had
been ill for a long period, but, being of a de.
termined disposition, continued to transact
business until thd latter part of December,
when the dread disease to which he had be.
come a subject, compelled him to take . to his
room, where he was confined almost without
intermission until the day of his death. Mr.
Chellis Was a ybung man of the
good
best
moral, character, possessed, good huSiness
qualities, and enjoyed a large acquaintance
in nearly every portion of the county. We
have never had a person in our employ Rho
strove more zealously to perforni his duties
satisfactorily, or upon whose integrity we
-relied more implicitly. His body was taken
to McKean Corners, his former residence, in
the Methodist church of which place the fun
eral services were conducted on Thursday.
He died in full fellowship with the teachings
of Christianity, and ih the confident belief:
of a better home. in the world above.
TILE series of entertainments given in Far
rar stall for the benefit of the Nonumental
Fund were deserving- of much larger audi
ences - than they received, and 'it does not
speak well for that portion of our populition
who pretend so much affection for the sol
diers that they were not better encouraged.
The poor excuse that they - were not suffi
ciently advertised is about as satisfactory as
no excuse at all, for every person of intelli
gence in the city knew that they were to be
given, the Mlle when, and the purpose in
tended. The ladies and gentlemen Who so
liberally contributed their labor and means
to offer an acceptable performance, can have
' the - consciousness at least that they rendered,
their full duty, and we hope they will not
abandon the 'work on account , of the un
profitable result of this endeavor. The en
tertainments are admitted by all who wit
nessed them to have been among the most
delightful amateur performances ever given
in the city.

Tux Meadville Journal and Meadville Re
publican have revived the Cameron acid Cur
tin controversy. The Journal thinks the
election of Cameron should be forgotten, and
the parties who were instrumental in accom
plishing it no longer held to a responsibility.
The Republican stands up forthe Curtin side
of the house, accuses the members of the-Leg
ishiture who voted for Carderon of betraying
their constituents, and asserts that they must
be "made odious." The Radical brethren in
our neighboring cndnty utterly refuse to be
"harmonized," and: unless we are vastly mis
taken, the contest among them this fall will
be more bitter than ever, ,
IT is Mien curious to notice what notions
some people have about advertising. While
not deeming it worth while to pay $5
for insertion of husinegs card in-a news
paptayto be read and scannred by thousands
of alrelasaes every day in Sht. year, they do
not hesitate to pay that sum to get the same
inserted in some ,gazetecr 'or by-place in a
hotel, with a chance of being seen by a few
who` have_ not, and t.ivtufxt to none, who
have occasion to trade with them. This folly
is repeatedly practised by men claiminT, great
sagacity in business.

WitstWrifatiA t iiitiFtF 'Et ma g.
mit Radicals are striving to induce our
members of Assembly to defeat the bill which
has passed,the Senate, permitting Esq Camp.
hausen, of the West Ward, to occupy Lis
residence on Federal Hill; and at the same
time continue to exercise the functions of his
office. It does not seem possible: to us that
those gentlemen will permit Themselves to be
influenced by such appeals. The fact of
Esq. Camphausen's residence was well
known to all the voters of the Ward, and al
though it is largely Radical, they saw pro
per to elect him over one of the most influ
ential gentlemen of the dominant party. He
had held the office one term previously, and,
during most of that period resided in South
Erie, yet. no person thought 'of interfering
with him. It was only after the parties en
gaged In this affair had been defeated, that
they attempted to deprive him of the right
to hold the office, and the mass of the peo
ple of the Ward have no sympathy • with
their efforts. Justice CamphaUsen is ac
knoa:ledeed to .be one of the most_ellicient
officers we have ever had, and when the IN a•
pie of the Ward, knowing all of the circum
stances, chose to retain him in thtdr service,
it would be a palpable act of injustice for the
Legislature to defeat their wishes.
TIIE near approach of the spring elections
induces us to say, what we have always felt,
that it is a grave mistake for any community
to drag party issues into the selection of local
officers_ The questions which enter into
National or State politics, as a general thing,
have no connection ever so—remote with
those of city, borough or township affairs,
and we have never seen the time when we
thought it good policy to decide the spring
'elections on ordinary party grounds. In the
present -critical state of Things, especially,
when nearly every locality 'has its separate
financial difficulty, it •behooves all prudent
persons to unite in the choice of the most
capable officers that can be obtained, irre
spective of their party affiliations. We hope
that whatever the- other side may do, the
Democrats of our .6ounty will not permit
themselves to be dragged . into a political
scramble over the petty pickings that are
distributed at the spring, elections. Let us
have fniun tickets in ever locality, made
up of the hest men, without party distinetion;
and let it be. the object of all citizens who
have the welfare of their sectiori at heart to
elect them, without regard to what the
ticians may say or do. .
