Wheeling bridge, structure of great impor.
taace TO the interests of Virginia, is likely TO
remain unmolested. The action of Congress
on this subject has been wise and Judlcious.--
Notwithstanding the decision OF the Supreme
Court, which would have resulted, it carried
out in the destruction of the Bridge, the House
of Representative short time since passed a
bill declaring it a post road, and the Senate on
Saturday, added the same TO the post office
bill and thus passed it. We presume il will
be re.passed in that form by the House.

York Herald Of Saturday we find recorded the

wo man named Rosanna Brady, native of

named Carl Heltzman was scalded to death by
tn e steam and burning liquor. German was
very badly injured in the same manner at ano-

SUICIDE IN ALABAMA.-The Troy Palla-
dunn gives detailed account of the suicide Of
Patrick Bartlett, in Pike county, Alabama
He was found in the woods, suspended to a
tree by a stinup leather, after having been
missed for several days. The cause assigned
for The fatal act was an unhappy marriage,
consummated short time previous. The
remainder Of the story savors of romance, and
we copy it.
He had been in love with young lady, blu,
was prevented, by some means, from marry ing
her. Soon after his marriage, he carried his
wife TO see his parents, and there met the
young lady, his former love, TO whom he ap.
peared TO have been devotedly attached
Their feelings, upon meeting, overcame their
sense ofproprieiy, and they rushed into each
others arms, embraced, and were melted to
tears. This seems TO have revived in a ten
fold degree, his love for her; and after carry
ing his wife back TO her pare nts, said that he
would go to Troy and mail letter, which he
had written; but itappears he came TO the de-
termination on the way to destroy himself;
WHICH he did, in the manner above described,
according 10 the Coroner's Inquest.
