1t would hardly do for any one nowadays
to have the temerity to question the excellence
of DIR. j. Hostctter's Celebrated Stomach
- Bitters' for all disease of the Stomach. In
cases of Dyspepsia, Bodily Weakness, Costive-
ness, Dysentery, and general arrangement of
the digestive organs, their many virtues have
long since been made plainly apparent. They
purge from the system the morbid humors
which retard their natural functions, and which
bring palencss to the cheek, and suffering to
the brow. They Danish those clogs upon
pleasure, restore the system to high health,
and necessarily prove a valuable adjunct to the
digestive organs. A trial is all that is needed
to establish them in the confidence of the
skeptic. ..E

ANOTHER BRIDGE ACROSS THE MIssIs-
sIPPI.-We learn from the St. Paul
Times that the Minneapolis and Cedar
Valley Railroad Company contemplate
the erection of a bridge across the
Mississippi, at Fort Smelling, which,
when finished, will be one of the long
est and finest structures on the Ameri-
al continent and probably in the
world. 1t will be three thousand sew
en- hundred and cighty-six feet in
length, with a span of one hundred
and eighty feet from centre to centre
of the piers, and ninety-scvcn feet
above high water mark, and will have
an elevation of grade twelve feet
higher at m end than at the other.
The piers OH which this structure will
rest arc to be built of stone obtained
from the quarries near at hand, aud
will be walls Of solid SO
firm and enduring that no rise in the
river below will ever disturb the i'm.
mense structure Which rests above.
1t will be a truss bridge, with a double
track passing over the top for the
cars, while in the truss trunk will be
a wagon road connecting Fort Smell
ling and Mendoza. The estimated cost
of this leviathan structure is near
half a million of dollars, and we have
every eason to believe the work will
be commenced early next spring, and
pushed vigorously through until com.
pleted.
