The Suspension Bridge at Niaqara Falls is
the subject Of an interesting communication in
the Lockport Courier, by Lot Clark, Esq, from
which we learn that a joint meeting, early last
month, Of the Boards Of Directors of the two
companies Incorporated in Canada and this
State for the purpose Of constructing a suspen-
sion bridge across the niagara, below the Falls,
aggregate amount Of 5000, 900 had been taken
by parties fully able to pay the installmcnts as
they should be called for.
The entire cost, it is estimated, can not, in
any event, exceed $4,000. Charles Elet, Jr.,
Of Philadelphia, who has had much experience
in works of the kind, has been appointed En-
glneer, and bound by contract to have the bridge
ready for use on or before one year from the
first day Of May next.
Mr. Clark says he has no reason to doubt the
completion of this structure by or before the
time set, any more than Of any other work be-
gun with the means and determination OF ener-
getic prosecution. The time set to complete the
work is longer than il is believed will be requir-
ed, and the public may feel well assured that
they can pass over the bridge by paving for the
luxury, by the first Of May, is4s.
The bridge is to be suspended across the river
at the narrow gorge, between the cataract and
whirlpool, in view Of both, Immediately over the
rapids, about $50 feet above tho wnter, by f6
wire eahie. about 400 feet long and ap~ard- of
~ inches in circumference each. Its strength
is to be equal to $500 tons tension strain, and
to be subjected to the most severe and conclu-
sive tests before used so as to render its safety
beyond possible contingency. The structure Is
to have a railway track through the centre 50
as TO pass locomotives and trains to accommo-
date the two railways that terminate there. No
corresponding structure in the world will equal
this in the grandeur Of its accessories, and indie
pendent ofthe facilities it will afford to the vast
tide OF travel between Canada and this State,
its fame, scarcely less than that of the sublime
cataract, will attract visitors from every part of
the world.-BgfaLo Com Ado.

EARLY PLASTING.-A gentleman farmer Of
our acquaintance tells us, that for three years he
has planted potatoes at three different periods,
viz: carly in April, late in April, and in May.
Every year the early potatoes have been sound
and firm, the middle part unsound and the late
ruined. He says it is early planting which pro-
tects the p%otatoe against the epidemic. We rec
ollect in a great many accounts Of The rot, that
the early potatoes were sound.
