tends 200 feet, with stone wall on each
side and causway. 1t is built on piles
driven into the bed of the river. very
strongly braced, and secured with spur,

From its substantial appearance. we
entertain no doubt of its RESISTING the

this place.
This Bridge was constructed bv Mr.
Andrew Bartle, of Alexandra. TO whom
zach credit is due for his industry and
perseverance-having commenced the
work but a little more than four months
ago. The timber was brought 25 miles by
water TO this place, and contains 2lO. $40

We understand the Proprietors have Il.
berally instructed the Gate-Keeper not TO

who lead sedentary lives, more freduently
to ENJOY the healthful exercise of walking.

Notwithstanding these difficulties, II is pretty
