NATURAL BRIDGE In CARTER CoUN-
TY, KY.-From the letter Of gentle
man. now travelling through the
mountain countries Of our State, we
learn the following dimensions OF
one of the most celebrated natural
curiosities of the country. The
bridge spans the chasm through
which flows the Rockbridge branch
of the Canv Fork of Little Sandy
river, and is about 25 miles from
Grayson, the county seat Of Carter.
1t measures, from cliff to cliff, 195
feet; is of solid rock, without flaw.
IL feet wide, 90 feet thick at the
abutments, and is five feet thick at
the middle of The arch and l07 feet
from the water. Altogether, it is a
work of nature second only to the
Virginia Natural Bridge, and well
worthy summer visit.

that the Fugitive will be given up, and it is also
more than likely that he will be brought off safe,
spite of any mob which may attempt rescue, but
this will be about the last. 1t may fairly be ques
toned whether any slave can be brought back from

more than twice the actual value of the property
