that bridge til! our people; " or some other

that bridge? You cannot offer any reason
able excuse.

buque, evidently with happy hearts and
peaceful consciences.

doubt, the finest sales room in town. Our
friends, BISHOP & BENJAMIN, EXPECT to occu-
py it by the middle of next week. Won't
they shine.

thing in the apple business. He says he has
500 barrels here and on the road He calculates

WORTH has orr best wishes.
Map Of Nrgiaia,-We have another map
from j. L. LLoYD--a map OF the State OF NIr-
ginia. This, being an official map, consequent
ly perfectly reliable, is indeed a very desirable
possession. For the purpose Of ineligible
reading of the news we contend that it is i'm
possible to do without good tfap, and we
know of no other map publications as reliable
as j. T. LLoYD's. We say, send to LLOYD
4or your maps.

name it bears. In his will, Gen. LYON, be-
queathed his entire fortune, 100000, to the
