The Old Easton Bridge.

The Trenton Gazette furnishes US with
some interesting "reminiscences OF the
Bridge over the Delaware at Easton.-
This bridge was completed in 1907, at a
total cost of SCI ,s54.67. 1t was erected
under the supervision of Cyrus Palmer,
the same architect who erected the perma-
nent bridge over the Scbuylkil, at Mar
ket st Philadelf hia. It's construction Is
com biuation of the arch and truss priD-
eiple, it is about six hundred feet in length
between the abutments, and consists OF
three arches, nearly two hubdTed feet
span each. With the exception Of the
TreDton bridge, this at Eastcn was the
cnly bridge that withstood the great
freshct of ls4l. The brid ge. although
not entirely completed until 1907, was
opened for travel 1906. The tolls for the
six years following its completion. were
devoted to the payment Of debt OF
nearly $4,000 incurred for its coustruc-
tion. This was cleared off. and the
bridge now pays a dividend of twenty
four per cent. annually, and has besides
contingent fund in reserve sufficleDt to
rebuild the bridge whenever it may be
necessary.

The Calf with three legs.

On last Friday We called at Mr.. Reu
ben Huuseckers, Lehighton, to see that
three legged calf mentioned in tho Ca
zette a few weeks ago. 1t is really Gu
riosity, having only one leg in front and
two behind, but in every other respect it
is perfect, fat, healthy and remarkably
lively, aud now nearly 3 months old. Mr.
Hunseeker generally keeps him (he is a
he) in stable, and to give as fair a
chance to see him, he let his calfsbip out
in the barn yard, where be commenced
running, jumping, kicking ana such feats,
as if he fully appreciated the great i'm
portance of that one leg in front. Indeed
We don't think We ever saw calf SO full
of life and vigor as this ore.
Mr. Hunsecker intends to give the good
people of Carbon County chance to see
the animal at tho next County Fair

Settlement of Dacotah Territory

This new Territory is now open for
settlement, although the tine allowed the
indians in which to remove to their Re-
seryation has not yet expired. But Agent
Red dGeld is now in the Territory, having
recently taken up large amount OF an
nuity goods for the Yanktons. The In
dians have all left Strike the R.es and
Smutty Bears eamps-which were the
principal points held hy them-and have
gone to their Reservation.
+. There is not the least danger of being
annoyed by the savages. and as con-
sequence quite number Of persons have
left this place within the last few days,
with the intention of making claims in the
Territory. We are informed that there
is quite settlement in the vicinity Of
Strlke-tbe Rees late camp, at which point
it is proposed to lay ont town. There
is large amount of beautiful farming
land in Dacotah. aud We doubt not much
of it will be taken up during the next
year by hardy pioneers, as from all quar-
ters We hear of parties forming for the new
leEIilOI y ue greatest uid"boNN W
the country is a scarcity of timber; but
it has been demonstrated that much
less amount Of tim Der than is at first sup
posed 10 be necessary can be got along
with, A genial and productive soil and
healthy clmate 60 far in outweig Ching the
many little inconveniences and wants met
with in new prairie country.
We would say to all those who have
their eyes directed towards Dacotab, to
get ready and start. You will meet With
no difficulties. Since the arrival of the
Agent with goods, the Indians have sig
ni6ed their willingness that the whites
should 60 in and occupy their old homes.
So come on; start for Sioux City from
which point you can make for any locali-
t7 desired 10 the Dew Territory, and near
which place are two good ferries across
the Big Sioux River, the dividing line
tetwecn Iowa and Daootah.

notion to "rake down" Here is his sub.
lime picture of Bennett, of the New York
Herald:
"Bennett's portrait is terrific. Such
thing ought never to be printed or da
gurrreot.pei. 1t ought to be considered
a penal offence to make anything so re-
voting TO all our ideas of propriety. No
man has right to monopolize so much
usiness. Ii Benefits ugliness could be
distributed over thousand faces, it would
make each of them intensely, hatefully

A Railroad Train Attacked by a Bull.

An accident of very singular and Sc
rious nature occurred on the Allegh gheny
Valley Railroad, on Wednesday evening.
It appears that, as the Express train was
passing point near White Rock Station,
about nine miles this side of Kittanning,
it was charged upon By bull belonging
to a gentleman named Klingensmith, re-
siding in the neighborhood, and said to
to be an amin al of unusual strength and
ferocity. In the collision which followed,
his bovine majesty was crushed almost to
Jelly. and bis defunct remains carried
some distance along the track. The af-
fair, however, did not stop here. The
caroase proved an impassable obstruction
to the train, and the locomotive, tender
and four freight cars were thrown of tho
track. The went over an embankmens
some thirty feet in height, and were re-
duced almost to a complete wreck. The
passenger car, the last in the train, re-
mained on the track, else the coDsequen-
ces would have been far more serious
The locomotive was good deal used up,
and The track damaged for some forty
feet, but beyond this, nothing serious re-
sulted from the strange occurrence

gings" says:--
"One Of the natives is said to have gone
stark mad at the sudden increase, and
one very ancient gentleman of color has
taken out a lump, $4,000 worth at one
fell swoop." These "huaeas'' extend O.
yer wide area, are regularly and CON-
pactly arranged, and thousands upon
thousands remain to be uncovered. The
dead Indians were buried in a sitting po-
sition, with all their yellow drops inclosed
with them for company. and almost eve
ry "huaca" is supposed to contain more
or less gold. Besides it is conceived that
in this locality -Chiriqui-ma rich
mines, now lost, will be rediscorered, the

those Indians was FIRST obtained. a nun.

be set down as almost certain. The CHR
