TUESDAY MORNING, MAY1, 1855
FALL OF A SUSPENSION BRIDGE.-During a tire
mendous storm which occurred on the Uppe
! Mississippi on the night of the 23d of March
three-fourths of the new suspension bridge, ye
unfinished, at St. Paul's. was destroyed.-Ban
gor Whig.
-"It's far cry, to Lochawe," says Scott
Legend of Montrose; and tits a long distanc,
to carry news to Bangor, judging from its leak
age on the route. There was not and is not
suspension bridge at st. Paul; but there is al
st. Anthony, and it was good deal shattered
by storm awhile ago. Nor is there any suct
place as St. Pau's, in Minnesota. The apostle
don't own anything in these parts, unless he
may have sort of lien on the primitive log
chapel of the Catholics, which gave name orig.
inally to the place. Neither is our city in the
possessive case, though We possess considera.
BILE in the way Of town lots, enterprise and sell
possession. st, Paul is the proper appellation
of the capital of this territory. In spelling it,
when you come to the a." bite it short Off
and eschewall terminal apostrophes and s-es.
While our hand is in. it may be as we'll to
give notice likewise, that St. Paul is in MIN
ne-sota, and not in Nine sofa. Some editors
and not few people, are guilty of this barbar-
ism. which Sioux Indians would be ashamed of.
By the way, the following scrap loquent-
ly shows the Importance of letter in a
word:
Jackson Waffle forged an order for $40 in
Rochester, but it was hard to prove it.. The
justice, however, asked him to write few words
when he betrayed himself by spelling the word
"have," ha I've as he had also done in the forg-
| ed order. The ''l'' sent the fellow to JAIL
GooD Music ExPECrED.-Those who love good
music expect to be gratifed with choice "con-
cord of sweet sounds" at the concert of "La
Petite Ole Bull" advertised in our columns to
take place at the City Hall tomorrow evening.
The testimonials of the superior capacity of
Master Goodall, and his father, are such as to
warrant our recommending those who desire
to hear good music, to patronize this Con-
cert
@ Keep neat and clean about your dwell
lings; for cleanliness, you know, is the hand
maid OF health, and distant cousin of wealth.
Substitute steamboats, for the word "dwel-
lings," and they couldn't get better motto
the Royal Arch particularly!
! rs Our hotels are reaping harvest at pres
| ent. On Sunday 200 guests sat down to din
ner at the American, and two-thirds as many
at the Winslow. Every house in town that takes
transient boarders is crowded in proportion.
BOARD OF TRADE.-The attention of the Di-
rectors is called to the regular meeting this
evening over Marshall & Co.'S Store. The
monthly meeting of the full Board is to-mor-
row evening at same place. A full attendance
is requested.
| &a- Crime in Vermont is on the decrease.
Three of the jails are empty, two have one in
mate each, two ethers have four each, one has
six and another seven.
How much of this is due to the prohibitory
liquor law, might be an interesting subject for
investigation.
The ELECTION IN KANsAs.-Pending the dis
cussion of the Nebraska bill in Congress- the
Louisville Journal and other anti-Nebraska
Southern papers ridiculed the idea that the
passage of the bill could be of any advantage
to the South. They insisted that there was no
ther Nebraska or Kansas, and that therefore
the South was contending for mere abstrac-
tion. The recent election in Kansas, resulting
in an overwhelming pro-slarery triumph, is but
the usual commentary upon Whig predictions.
The passage of the Nebraska bill was not only
triumph of principle, but is also fraught with
direct and positive benefits to the Southern
States. 1t has secured to them a large and
fertile tract of territory eminently adapted to
slave labor, which will eventually become one
of the most populOus and wealthy of the slaue
States-L0uisuille Times.
| What the Democratic papers South think
of the recent fraud in Kanzas, is shown by the
above extract. The triumph of Democracy and
the triumph of Slavery, are becoming syno-
nyms in this republic. Should not all true
Republicans organize together: without re-
gard to former party connections, and make
its triumphs 'few and far between? Democ-
racy only another name for human bondage
Surely it is time to raise the cry "to your tents
o Israel" For behold the gods ye have wor-
SHIPPED are but gods of clay and brass and your
leaders are of the house of Moloch and Dagon.
