The latter great work commences on the Conemaugh, at Johnstown, and follows that stream and its continuation, the Kiskiminitas to the Alleghany, which it crosses and following the right bank to the mouth, re-crosses, and passing through Pittsburg, enters the Monongahela by Lukes run. A rail road has been designed to continue from the latter canal line at Johnstown, and crossing the main ridge of the Alleghany mountains, terminates at Frankstown on the Juniatta, from whence the chain of canal recommences, and continues by the basins of the Susquehanna and Schuylkill to the city of Philadelphia.-See Ohio basin.
