It la tlouhtful Indeed that the work lifts tKHfii Injured at all. The , jtfoprrtv damao done iu and about Mw city by the Hood la almost limited to tite embankment of the Cutwapcake ami the Ohio canal, which are om Vletcly wrecked In many places. Tito uuml will be abandoned, aa the repair would cost neveral million dbliara oioro than the company Is worth. The old lbd will prolmbly share the (ate of the , 1'ennnylvaulan canal way, whleh waa filled In and utilized for arailroad. The liulthuore and Ohio railway will make an attempt to obtain nomdMlon. Tho canal ha chiefly been wacd fhr the past twenty ywra In the shipment f eual, and Its abandoment is a great blow to tho bulnw of the sleepy old city of (kwKetown. The caual was , neortheotuetininoeouniry. vucn Washington wan Presldont he conceiv ed the scheme of a canal following the general direction that was afterwords adopted, Hiul it beoame a liobby with him. Public Interest was not easily excltwl in favor of the project however and it was not until John Adams was president that tho first ground was Lroken. President Adams went out to tieorgitowu through tiic villainous toad of tuoc daya, with a brass Ivand and a crowd of several thousand people and a spade. With -all the jieople looking on and the band severely lae vratiiijr the air, Mr. Adams tried to stk'k the spade in the earth. It struck a root, but' the Presidents blood being up, lie Humr aside his coat and struck jurain and ouain until he had success fully lauded in a wheel-barrow a pile f earth. Thereupon the jx'oplu cheer ed wildly and the President went home and wrote the whole story, Including h synopsis of his speech, in his diary. The pe)ple of Washington were sorely disappointed that the caual did not go through the city and it was predicted that Washington would forever remain puny village, while (leorgetwn would go onto greater and greater glories, time without end. Alexandria was h proud commercial city at iliut time. To-ilay the commerce of both towns is a meagre farce and only crazy ghosts of great store-houses stand, -mint and deserted along tite river fronts for crones to point out and be wall the past. Tite local subscription to the Johns town sutterers fund pour In from all classes of jeoplc. Politicians and mer chants vie with each other in giving. Amid all this graceful and grateful evidence of human sympathy, there are however instances of pretty mean ness and "niggardliness that arc surpris ing. I saw a subscription list yester day that had been through the Pension Jiurcnu. There were two endowments tlw.a. 4Vi.it ttrnf. In utrilrtnfr nntitruut t'lHIVl Itilf. HVIU ... n - ..... WTV, the f irmer being for a contribution of twertyfive cents, and the latter for live dollars. I happen to know about liotli. The man who subscribed U innts hits been ten years at the pnic lic crib, draws SlflOOa year salary for work that would (linjiraeo a rchool boy and has a pension of $S0 per month. Jle is accredited curious to record, to the hiate of Pennsylvania. The wo man who gave f.00 is a bright, cheer ful little widow who is struggling along on fCO, per month with two chil dren to BUpimrt, one a cripple. I saw' on the Kinie lint dozens of Z cents sub. jHtripiion from men whose salary should make tho .-nim tite merest trifle to them The inoet miserly class of jieoplti f know art. ni' iiii Government clerk.

A ttriit is too large a coin for them to give away. Many wagons are going alwwt town collecting clothing and other supplies forthedovasted region of Pennsylvania Wednesday night a train of thirteen freight ears left this city with orders torim toJohnstown on passenger time. The cars were packed with supplies from tliis place, mltimoro, and Phila delphia. - A second train of nine cars left Thursday night. This train load was made up entirely here. Tho President had a busy time Wcd resday yesterday lietween the ofllec S'kers and the ti'ccdsof the Johnstown M'trererd. All day long the War de partments officials were consulting 'him as to wnat actions to take and he was In constant wire communication with General Beaver.
