i Messrs. Editors,-The Bridge nea
|, Pamela has for several weeks past pre-
sented subject of amin aied discussion
both privately and publicly. The effor
which has been made to deprive the cit
liens of their right to exemption from
toll, from and after the 18th Of Dec.
last, according to contract, has caused
a great deal ST warm feeling, and with
a few, little warm action; at least sc
far as to remove Instructions which
threatened 10 stop them on the high
way.
With regard to cutting or breaking
down the gate by citizens oil the county
when il has been locked against them
no one except the owner Of The bridge,
can, in the face Of the contract, deny
their RICH, TO do so. The contract is
plain in every feature, and especially
that part Of it which says the citizens of
the county shall be exempt frorn toll af-
ter the time above named. And the
citizens not only have the right TO re-
move distractions, but they have a
right to sue for, and recover damages
from the author Of those Instructions,
for placing them on the highway.
We understand the proprietor has re-
Gently drawn up a petition to the Po-
lice Court, praying them TO buy his
bridge. Extraordinary as this meas
ure is, we are informe q that he has OBJ
tanned several signatures to the petition
The fact that he cannot compel the peo-
pie to give up their rights fer his own
emolument, we suppose is the founda-
ton Of this new scheme.
1t is highly probable that those who
have subscribed to the petition have
never once thought Of the manner in
which the amount would have TO be
made 'up~--that oar heavy burden OF
tax would aavefo be considerably In

construction.
Let those who wish 10 purchase the
turnpike do so; and if they wish to give
foe thousand dollars (ar it, we consid-
.er II their privilege as individu ais, TO
dos so. But we 90 not believe that the
county either should, or will give half
the amount, or even purchase
atany price.
II has been rumored that the owner
of the bridge intends TO prosecute those
gentlemen who had the aerye and mus-
Gle to break and cut down his gate when
IT was unlawlully locked against them.
but we think this is false rumor. az
least we hove no donbt it rnisrepresents
his real Intentions; for we have ioo
high conception Of his Judgment to be.
iieve, for moment, that he will ever
hazard the consequences Of such suit.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-lt is stated in
a late foreign Magazine, that there is now
living in tho Isle of France, man endow-
ed with such remarkable power of sight
that he perceives vessels several hundred
miles at sea. He IS pensioned by the
British government, and every morning
reports 10 the government house what
vessels are in the oliing, and when they
may be expected, and it is rema rkable
that he was never known to fail. When
the first steamer was sent from England
to the East, he saw her at n distance OF
some hundred miles, but was surprised at
observing she had four masls, one of them
smoking! When he reported this strange
appearance (no steamer being expected,
or known TO be on its way it was sup
posed he had lost bis extraordinary pow
er OF vision, but the result verified his sto.

GIVE YOUR CHILDREN A NEWSPAPER.
A child beginning TO read becomes de-
lighted with newspaper, because he reads
of names anG things which are familiar,
and he will make progress accordingly. a
newspaper IN one year is worth quar-.
ter's schooling TO child, and every ia
Their must consider that substantial inform.
alton is connected with advancement. The
mother of a family being one of its heads,
and having more immediate charge OF
children, should herself be instructed. A
mind occupied becomes fortified against
the ills of life. Children amused by rea-
ding or study, are of course more consid-
crate and more easily governed. How
many thoughtless young men have spent
their earnings in a tavern or grog shop
who ought to have been reading! How
many parents, who may have not spent
twenty dollars for books for their families,
have given thousands 10 reclaim son or
daughter who had ignorently and thought
lessly fallen into temptation!

A CHARCOAL ROAD.

The process OF making such n road II
described by writer in the Cleveland
Herald ss follows:
Timber from six to eighteen inches
through, is cut twen,y-iour feet long, and
| piled up lengthwise in the centre of the
road about five feet high; being nine feet
wide at the bottom and two at the top,
and then covered with straw and earth in
the manner Of coalplts. The earth re-
CURED to cover the pile. taken from either
side, leaves two good sized bitches, and
the timber although not split, is easily
charred, and when charred, the earth is
removed to the side Of the bitches, the
coal raked down, to width of fifteen feet,
leaving it two feet thick at the centre and
oEe at the sides, and the road is compile
ted"
A road OF this kind is now being made
in the Cotton Wood swamp near Bliss
field in Michigan. From the writer
above quoted we learn that about seven
ty rods are completed, twenty Of which
have been used for the last seven months,
and the balance for three months; and as
it IS on the great ihoroughfare West, and
as, in addition, on an average, sixteen
heavy loaded teams, to and from m ashe-
ry, pass over it daily, it has been very
well tried during the winter and spring,
and yet there is now no appearance Of
ruts, but it presents an even, hard sur
face.
The company making the road pay the
contractors at the rate Of $500 mile
The road is said to become very compact
and to BIO free from mud or dust. Hon.
ELISHA WHIrTELsEY, and Mr.. NEWTON,
an engineer who inspected the Blissfield
road above mentioned, state that they
passed over it the morning after rain.
CAT each end Of the different sections
Of the coal road, the mud on the cause
way was belly deep, where there was that
depth of earth; and nearly or quite halt
axlstree deep where the logs we're broken;
when on the coal road, there was not the
least water standing, and the impress Of
the feet OF horse passing rapidly over il
was like that made on hard washed sand,
as the surf recedes on the shore oil the
lake. The water is not drained from the
bitches, and yet there are no ru,s or me
qualities in the surface Of the coal road
except what is produced by more compact
packing on the line of travel. We think
it is probable that coal will fully compen-
safe for the deficiency Of lime stone and
gravel in many sections Of the West
and where a road is to be constructed
tbro' iores. land that coal may be used at
fourth oS the expense Of the lime stone"
