Mr.. BMnum had chosen TO circulate subscription

$500 each rather than permit the enterprise to

The Census.

The law of the United States for taking the census went into operation on the lst June. The Deputy Marshals will soon commence their arduous duties--one has to call at everyhouse in the United States to as- certain the name, age, sex, color, profession, trade, and birthplace of each individual in the family on the lst June, 1850; also wheth- CT any is deaf, dumb, blind, insane, idiotic, a pauper or convict, with the number married within the year, the number attending school within the year, the number over 20 years old unable to read and write, and the value of the real estate owned.
 It will save great deal of time to house. holders as well as officers if each family will make out the list, and have it ready to hand to the officer when he calls, and it will also ensure greater accuracy. We ask the heads of families to give this matter early atten- tion.-Cincinndti Gazette.

RemingtOn's Bridge.

The bridge which MT. Remington has been building in this city, and which has ex- cited much curiosity and speculation, was completed on Saturday and the scaffolding knocked away, under the direction of Rem- ington, in the presence of large concourse of people, and among them many doubting Thomases. The result was most triumph ant for the inventor.
 The beautiful structure, apparently too fragile to sustain its own weight, prov ed all that has been claimed for it. It was immediately put 10 the severest test. Hundreds of people passed over it, and it was conceded by the most sceptlcal that 1t would stand and answer all practical pur- poses. The bridge, which at little dis tance, resembles a slight ribbon or shaving of wood extended over a ravIne beneath, four or five hundred feet in length, though looking as though it would not bear the pressure of a bird, is found to bear immense weight, in fact, it appears, all that can be conveniently placed upon it. II is without hand rails, 436feet span, 10 feet wide. The blanks, which are the abutments about six inches thick, fine away at each end and to- wards the centre, to about one inch or an inch and half, and are firmly joined by impervious cement, the invention oi Mr. Remington. The principle is regarded as eminently successful, and in sections where lumber is matter of moment, must prove ot incalculabIe value.-Alabdma Journal :. .~-0-~~4~~~~-o-~~~~O~>~

IcEBERcs IN THE ATLANTIc.-Intellie

IcEBERcs IN THE ATLANTIc.-Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's from New Foundland, of an enormous field ot ice, up- wards of one hundred and fifty miles in length; floating in the Atlantic, about the latitude of 46o. Several vessels were beset and tits strongly feared that, as the ice lies in the direct track of vessels crossing the At lantic, some serious disaster will be caused This early drifting of ice from the Polar seas is considered extremely favorable to the expedition in search of Sir John Frank lin and his companions.

It lacks one dwt. of the true weight, is of the same circumference, ard of but little greater thickness than the original.

PIONEER ASSOCIATION FOR BURNING THE DEAD.-On Monday evening, the annual meeting of this Society was held at the Me- chanic's Institute, Gould Square, MT. Mich oll's in the chair He said that the objects of this association were to protect the living from the pestferous exhaations of the dead, by decomposing the body by fire. It pro- poses to construct an edifce for funeral pyre in the immediate vicinity of London, upon principles that will insure combna- ton of the greatest efficiency that science could devise. In connection with the fu- neral pyre, the society intended to establish garden for the reception of urns, tab lets, and other funeral monuments; and for the erection of public tombs, in which to deposite the ashes of those who shall not be provided with urns for that purpose. Resolutions in accordance with the objects of the meeting were adopted.
