Public Notice.
IS hereby given that the navigation through the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, from the head of the Harper’s Ferry Falls to the Shenandoah Lock, will be opened for the passage of boats, rafts, &c. on the first day of October next.
By this arrangement, the navigation of the Potomac, which has been for some time interrupted at this point, will be transferred to the Canal, and boats will be enabled to pass the Harper’s Ferry Falls, and resume the river navigation above and below them as formerly.
It is confidently expected that in less than two weeks after the admission of the water, as above noticed, the whole extent of the navigation from Harper’s Ferry to the Basin between Georgetown and Washington City, will be opened to the public; of which timely notice will be given.
ALFRED CRUGER, Engineer.
