The Fallen Bridge at Portsmouth.

NN az
The citizens of Portsmouth have al
ready subcribed about $1,000 to rebuild
the fallen suspension bridge over the
Scioto. Twice that amount is needed:
THRILLING ADvENTURE.-As has alrea-
dy been stated, last Monday morning
about II O'Clock, the new wire suspen-
sion bridge spanning the Scioto just
above the confluence at this place with
the Ohio, was undermined and prostrated
by the force Of the Scioto current. That
morning, a. an early hour, Mr.. E. B.
Cassidy, and two other citizens or this
place, crossed the bridge in buggy, on
a hunting expedition. They were out
in the woods all day, and had not heard
of the fall of the bridge. They returned
in the evening, and arrived at the cross.
ing after dark A span Of the bridge,
reaching from the shore out overa por-
ton Of the river, still remained, as it had
been left by the structure breaking in
two. The hunters, all in fine spirits,
and unconscious Of danger, started over
the bridge. The driver noticed The horse
hestated after going some distance, and
urged the animal forward. The poor
brute advanced a step or two, and again
stopped. The driver got out, and to
his horror discovered the bridge gone
and the horses head projecting over the
