The Bridge.

We are happy TO he able to state that
this work is now passable for (oomen,
md in few weeks will be ready for trav
Ell, and cattle.
Proper notice. we are informed, will be
gwen through the grazing counnes of the
tine of the opening, which event, we have
no doubt, will be hailed with JOY by the
Irovers of Western Virginia and Ohio
Heretofore they have suffered much in
convenience from being obliged 10 follow
The Rail Road for some distance, frequent
Iy losing cattle, and always having more
or less trouble from the fright which takes
possession of them. the result Of which is,
rs we are informed by drovers, that their
value in the market is actually lessened.
Before closing ,his We may properly
speak of The work itself ard the CunIr4c-
ror, Mr.. Bowers. We need only state
hat the most entire satisfaction has beer
given The Board and The Stockholders.
The whole work. in its most minute par
'icuIars has been done in The most sub,
,ranlIal and durable manner. Or Mr..
Bowers himself, we can truly say that lhiS
community, anxious as they are for the
completion Of the Bridge, viii regret ii on
one account, tina, they will lose him, for
never has 4 stranger made more Iavora
hle impression upon any community than
ne upon lhis.

Congressional.

The Compromise or Adjustment Bal is
still the prominen; subjec, of discussion
in the Senate. Various amendments have
been voted upon during the past week
which, while they may not be properly
considered test votes, yet indicate pretty
clearly TO our minds, that the measure
will pass the Senate.
In the House the Bill granting land to
the officers and soldiers Of the war OF
1912, was called up, and elected much
discussion. Such number Of amend
menrS were offered that we fear they will
defeat the Bill on lis final passage.

we are to see Improvements of This kind

was very great in this case.
Here dwelt James Rumsoy. the man
who first successfully applied steam 10 the
propulsion of boats. What mighty rev

world, did the genius of Rumsey produce
We admire The reverence for such relics
as this, which we fad cvinced III some
portions of our country. In the heart oi
The city of Boston may still be seen the

in mos, dilaprdated condition, it attracts
more notice than the marble palaces OF
Beacon Street.
In Cambridge, the old Elm, known as
the Washington Elm," the Father OF

branches. first unshealhed his sword in

object of much curiosity and interest, and
of the lendrrcst care of the citizens.
