truct1on b. fire would have INTERRUPTED

80 much anxiety has been felt on this
account, that Mr.. 1icCaIIum, while ST.
pernteadent Of the road, always kent
material ready for throwing i %usna1-
son bridge across the chas,a, in the
event Of fire. "About two years ago. .

was commenced Oh the upper side
ms IS now complete, and trains have
been running over it for the last fort

cascade percolates readily through the
broken stone e1a5ankment, which is
therefore, safe from floods. The great
bridge IS now being taken down. It
is generally in good condition, although
some OF the tlmbers have rotcd. The
Cascade Bridge was erected in 1913,
at cost Of $4,000. It has a single

REPORTED REstGSATToN OF JUDGE
TANEY.-The New, York UeruzH has
a report that Judge fancy has resign
ed his position as Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
and says it is rumorcd that Judge
Black, at present Attorney General,
Will be appointed BY NIr. Buchanan 70
succeed him.
Some Of the New York papers con
tradict and others confirm this story.
1t It IS not yet trne, it is very likely to
come so before l[r Buchanan leaves
the White House. Mr.. Taney's in
cre2sing infirmities and advanced ace
have, two years past, almost incapaci-
tated him for the discharge Of his iu-
dicial functions; but the secret Of his
resignation at this time, is doubtless to
be found in the result of the Presiden-
tial election and the natural desire Of
Mr.. Buchanan to bestow q parting re-
ward upon his Attorney General
Black, who has borne the blunt of the
administration and broken down, po-
litlcally, under the heavy load.

NO NULLIFICATIoN AT TIE SoUTu.-
There is, says the New York Times,
one very gratifying circumstance in all
the secession movements Of the Sou5h.
The authority Of the federal govern
Inent is nowhere resisted. The Charles
ton aercury denies very Indignantly
the report that Fort MouItrie is to be
seized. Tue collector Of the port of
Charleston denies that there has been
any interruption Of the ordinary process
OF collecting federal duties, dan clear
ing vessels. The people Of Charleston
call upon the postmaster not to resign
his place. And III every particular
special care is taken not to oppose or
disregard any law OF Congress.
So long as this attitude is prescrv-
ed, there can be no necessity for the
Of the government at
Washington. The duty Of the Prcsi-
dent is simply to see that the laws are
executed. So long as they are yoIun-
tarily obeyed, there is neither occasion
nor excuse for Interference.

BoRRowiNc BLooD CT FRIEND.-To
feel ike new man" is not altogether i'm
possible. Recent experiments in "transfu-
sion of blood" show that health and strength
may be taken from one person and gwen to
another! A medical report says: "a sue
cessful case Of TRANSMISSION Of blood into the
veins Of q woman was performed lately in
KillsarnOok, Ayrshire, Scotland. The We
man although in the prime Of life, had be-
come SO weak frem the loss Of blood that
pulsation was OF times impsrceptible. The
blood Of friend was injected into the vein
in one Of her arms, and the most cheering
results were Immediately manifested. She
continued to improve rapidly, and at last
accounts was considered beyond the reach
of danger" We wonder whether "nsral

which of ths tive persons would be liable
