OUR DAILY BREAD,

And his face grew grave as he trod the porch ;
And the thronging poor, untaught mass,

Then the rich man knelt, and the words he said

A SINGULAR CAsE.-An exchange paper
states that about IS years ago Mr. Halt,
of Wilton, in Fairfield co., Conn, then re-
remarkably good student in his collegiate
course, was suddenly deprived Of his reason
and memory. Under these circumstances,
his father, Rev. Mr. Hiatt, sent him to Hart
ford, but finding no relief he sent him to
Dr. Chaplain, Of Cambridge. Massachusetts.
The doctor said there was no present relief
for him. but at the age Of thirty-six or thir-
ty-seven, there would be change that the
brain was too much expanded for the crani-
um, and there would at that age be a con-
traction, which would enable it to act health
ily. His anxious father and family saw their
hope peremptorily deferred for nineteen
years. That time has recently expired. and.
to their great joy, the prophecy i fulfilled.
The man began to inquire for his books as II
he had Just laid them down, and, and re-
sumed his mathematical studies weere he
left them There was no trace on his mind
Of this long blank in his life, Of anything
which had occurred in it, and he did not
know that he was almost forty years Of age.

New Bridge over Bear River.
NOTICE TO TRAVELLERS.

THE undersigned have just completed a
u New and Splendid Lattice Bridge across
Bear River, near Anderson's Crossing. 1t is
on the Ridge Road from Sacramento city to
Nevada, via Auburn, Illinoistown, Storms
Ranch and Grass Valley.
This road can be safely and conveniently
travelled at all times, the proprietors of the
Bridge having been at great expense in put
ting the new portion of the road in complete
order, reducing the hill to and from Beer River
to a convenient grade, and is as near if not
nearer than any other road. The Bridge is
full 20 feet above high water mark, and being
supported by natural stone wall on each side,
is In no danger from drift wood, or other con-
tingencies. This bridge being on the direct
route from Sacramento to Little York, Wal.
loupa, Red Dog, Steep Hollow, and Green
Horn, gives this road many advantages over
any other.
II is also on the Direct Route
Between the NORTHERN q. SOUTHERN
MINES.
Travellers and Teamsters passing through
this region during the Winter season especial
ly, should not fail to avail themselves of the
advantages of this route, as they will thereby
not only avail themselves Of the best road, but
avoid all danger of being unable to cross this
dangerous stream. STORMS & TATE.
