LOCAL MATTERS.

PINE STREET BRIDGE.-It has been pro-
posed that an act Of the Legislature should be
passed, authorizing the Town Trustees to con-
struct new bridge at the foot of Pine street,
and levy special tax to pay for the same. A
bridge at that point is public necessity, as it
is the only way of getting out of town without
paying toll besides, quite a number of families
have built residences on Piety Hill, and their
property would be valueless unless the bridge is
kept up. The bridge is an advantage to the
whole town, and should be paid for bv all alike.
We are informed that substantial and dura-
BILE bridge, with stone abutments, can be con-
structed for about $4,000, and a tax of fifty
cents on the hundred dollars would be amply
sufficient to build it. The Town Trustees are
now limited in their expenditures, and have no
authority to make a contract for building the
bridge without special act of the Legislature.
THBATRICAL.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne ap-
peared at the Nevada Theater yesterday eve
ning as Julia in Knowles play of the "Hunch-
back" The Theater, of course, was crowded.
Mrs. Hayne is an actress Of whom an audience
is never tired; her representations are so varied,
and well adapted to the different characters,
that the more she is seen, the more she is ap-
preciated and admired. The personation of Ju-
lia, yesterday evening, was certainly not inferi-
or to any of her previous efforts. Mr.. Thomp-
son as Master Walter, and Mr.. Thayer as Cliff
ford, played their parts fairly, and the character
Of Helen was well played by Miss Cogswell.
The play of Lucretia Borgia is presented this
evening.

Baptist church, tomorrow, will commence at

gold rings laying round loose these times.
