AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.

Not many days since, we were witness to
scene which bore beautiful evidence of the undy-
ing nature of a mothers love. Ten or eleven
years ago. a jonrneyman printer, employed in this
office died in our village, and was buried in Trim
ity Church Yard. His mother, poor widow,
lived in Baltimore. The death of her only child
left her alone in the wOrd-no one remained TO
smooth her pathway TO the grave. AssOon as
she become able, she marked her loved sons res
ting place with a neat marble slab, bearing suit
able Inscription. Any heart but mothers would
have been satisfied with this but hers yearned
for COmpanionship with hInl, even IN DEATH
BY unweared exertions she succeeded in amas-
sing money enough to purchase quiet nook in
Greenmount Cemetry5 where she wished that
the ashes of her son might lay beside her own,
when her lone pilgrimage on earth might be en-
ded. Accordingly, she came TO our village,
few days since to disinter the remains Of her son,
and transport them to the place she lad prepared
tor them.
Thisincident would be uninterestipg underdis-
similar circumstances, but in this case they are
fraught with peculiar interest This fond mother
devoted the last ten years her life to such labor
as shecould perform ill tles0le 6bieut Of being
near her son in death. Had she been wealthy,
The act would have been Of small interest but for
ten weary yeaas has this been the darling and
only object of her desire. With what pleasure
she must have looked forward 10 this time -
Her frame is bowed down with age and having
satisfied the prOmptings of her heart, she awaits
the summons of death with calmues3.

The bridge over the ChagFes river, from Bar
bacores to San Pablo, [opposite) is forest on fine
stone abutments, similar to granite, got out on
the line of the railroad there. The stone is eight
feet long, two feet thick, four wide. From San
Pablo 10 Gorgona is six miles by the river, about
three miles by the road; and when the bridge
and the three miles Of road are finished sleam
will take passengers from Navy Bay to GorgOna.
The road to Gorgoua will be open this season,
probably by March. Work is going on from
Gorgona to Cruces, (six mtles,) and this is to be
done the next rainy season, which ends IN De-
Cember year. From Cruces to Panama is 20
miles ythe mule route-the road will be about 10
miles and the intention is TO. have this done

This will be the rOughesC but not the worst part
of the road, through rocks, the cordilleras, and
