THE TURNPIKE BRIDGE.

We mentioned some weeks ago, the IN
tention of the Centre Turnpike Company
and the County Commissioners to erect a
new bridge over the ''Gut" at the western
termination of this road. We said then
that the breadth between the abutment;
would be such as to permit the stream
when at its height, to pass through easily
If this was intended, it has not been accom-
plished. The mechanical work is good
and substantial, but the abutments are toe
close TO each other to permit the water, al
all times to pass freely. Some years age
the water washed away portion OF the
turnpike just east of the bridge. This has
never been filled up, and in consequence.
when ever the water rises few feet, this
unrepaired part is under water, rendering
the bridge useless, and compelling passen-
gers TO use the rail road bridge.
We are inclined to believe that this gull
ley is Intentionally left there by the Com
pany to act as waste wier to carry offthe
water that cannot pass under the bridge
The stream was rushing through it like a
torrent on Sunday. The thing is nui-
sance. How the constables, who make re-
turns of the condition of roads and bridges,
under oath, at each Court of Quarter Ses-
sions, could have conscientiously omitted TO
notice this, is rather singular.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM CUBA.

BY the kindness CT friend we have been
favored with the perusal Of letter from Gu
ba, concerning the late movements Of the
Spanish Government in that Island, &c. II is
dated, Maianzas, Isle of Cuba, Oct 15, 1860,
and says that on the evening of the 7th, and
the morning OF the Sth, Of the present month,
fifteen persons, all Cubans, were arrested by
the Government, and put in prison, charged
with being spies and revolu,onists; many,
however, made their escape from the island
The writer of the letter then goes on TO re-
capitulate the names Of those arrested. among
whom we noticed that of Don Francisco de
la o. Garcia, Don Saiurnio Hernandez, and
others of the most influential and wealthy
men of the Island. Among those who esca-
ped, was Col. Francisco Hernandez Moreohn
an officer in the National Army, and his bro.
ther Don Pedro.
| 1t is said that these men who are arrested
are some of the most wealthy and influential
persons in Cuba, and though they have been
taken up only on the mere supposition OF be-
| lHS SpleSi IHe WHOle country dIOunuj luClu-
ding even the soldiers and officers Of the ar
my itself, are dissatisfied, and dark mut.erings
are frequently heard. By the intervention
of some officer of the government, one ortwo
of the gentlemen were released, and managed
to leave the Island. The principal officers Of
the grand army, and even some of the govern.
ment emissaries, it is said, disapprove of the
course thus taken, and would, perhaps, on the
opportunity resist the government in so doing
The writer of this leter.we are informed
is person Of much influence in the Island
and is personally acquainted with the gentle
men apprehended, as well all the different
movements contemplated among the liberty
loving Cubans We should not at all wonde
it something was on foot once more to start {
new revolution for the establishment of repub
licanism in that Island Boston Mail, 90.

ASHES ARE DEoDoRIsERs, = 1t is q fac.
of which few persons are aware, that both
wood and coal ashes are disinfectants for
animal and vegetable odors, when brought
inio contact with Them. So effectual are
they for this purpose, that human feces
when buried in them, at once cease 10 give
off any offensive smell. This property
renders them of much value for city, or
even country piivies, where it is an object
TO use these rich manures.
In consequence of the presence of so
large quantity of the alkalies inpashes, a
portion. ofthe incipients for forming am
monia is driven off, and for the reason
charred fuel, as wood coal, or half burned
peat, is better. Butin the absence of these
ashes may form an economical, and in most
cases, an entirely convenient substiiute.--
