Wood, the Contractor has nearly completed
the new bridge over the Big Elk at Scott $
Mills. We learn that it will he very sub
stantial and handsome structure.
MIX OF MARK.-Thosc two famous indi-
viduals, John Smith and John Jones, met in
The Wing oiIi:e one day this week. The
ambiguous character Of the gentlemen might
have made the editor fear for his pocket book T.,
but that that depository with our fraternity is
SO notorious for being vacant, This notorie,y.
however. did not prevent OUR visitors from
making demonstration on our fananccs s.
luckily by way of addition rather than sub.
strariion. They came to pay the printer.
We commend the example of John Smith and
John Jones to the public consideration.
PLANK RoAD.-.N a recent meeting Of the
Managers of the Elkton, Andora and Lewis
vale Plank Road favorable report of Tolls
received on the Road was made by the Treas

by Stockholders, on account Of stock from
the day of payment up to the Goth January.

the business in charge, and notify the stock
holders when and where to apply FOR payment.

the S'h OF last April, and commenced opera

organization. The Plank Road is bound to
do well.

THE New STEAMBOAT AT ITAvnE-pM .GRAcr.
We crossed the Sus9uchanna one day tl S
week, for the first time on the Railroad
tomrany's new steam ferry boat 1t is a
very large, substantial and handsome boat
and adds greatly to the speed and comfort of
crossing that ferry. ItrunS directly into the
docks at each end, without the delay of winds
on this side, as with the old boat, and is 81
powerfully built as to be able to make h,r
way through very thick ice. Ii was built at
Wilmington, and tho handsome lini shing Of
the boat was done by one of "Thc UHi2',
friends and subScrbcrs-Mr. Thos Thalch-
CT, ship-joner of that city, who is so proven
Iial for his excellent work
Notwithstanding tlat the crossing Of Tie
river is more pleasant in this boat, than it
ever can be on bridge, the Company are
going rapidly ahead with their preparations
for building the latter, which we understand
they hope to complete in year and half.

copied into other journals, that Philip Qng-
ley had instituted a suit in the L. S. Circuit
Court at Baltimore, against the Phil. vii.
