By the time this flood subsided there was two feet water in the new channel, which was continually enlarging. When the "Lake Serpent" returned from her cruise, she found the new harbor capacious enough to admit her keel without difficulty. The old channel, through which water no longer passed, was soon sealed up with sand, In the spring of 1828, the eastern pier was com menced, beginning at the water s edge. The work has progressed steadily until 1840, at a cost of $77, - 550. The western pier ...was soon connected with the dam, and the eastern continued in a southerly direc tion across the neck to the river. Both have been carried outward into the lake, making twelve hundred feet in length. About four hundred feet of the east ern pier, having partially decayed, has been replaced by heavy cut stone masonry, having a foundation up on the original work, the piles and stone removed be low the surface of low water in the lake. It is pro posed to renew the whole in this manner, which will leave it in an imperishable state, a monument of the liberality, grandeur, and utility of the national Union when, perhaps, that institution itself shall be known only in the history of things that were.
