The Bridge.

Ey General complaint is constantly
being made as to the condition of the
Bridge-and justly. 1t is certainly in a
disgraceful, il not a dangerous condition.
Occasionally a patch is put on, some
rough slab being nailed down over a
hole, making the causeway as rough as
a corduroy road. The railing at the side
is Stacking, and the space beneath it so
great. that the other day colt backed
off under it, and fell distance Of twenty
feet into the water beneath. 1t waded
out, however, apparently without dam
age. There is certainly enough Road
and Poll tax paid in this Township to
keep the roads in repair and leave enough
to keep our bridge in good condition.
The difficulty is, however, as we learn
from our Supervisors, that but little
money comes into their hands. Many,
who do not work their tax out them
selves, pay some one else for working it
out for them. In this way it happens
that our Road Supervisors get but little
money wherewith to buy lumber. If
those who do not work their own tax out,
would, instead of hiring others to do it,
pay their tax into the hands of the Su-
peryisors, he would have the means To
procure the necessary lumber for the re.
pairs of the bridge, and all cause Of
complaint would be done away with, for
we are assured that the only reason why
the bridge is kept in such condition is
because the Supervisors do not get the
means to purchase the lumber. We sub
nit that the reason offered is good one
why those who eau, should pay their tax
i'll money.

Building.

EH- We notice great deal of i'm.
provement in the shape Of fences, add.
lions to buildings, and new buildings,
going on about our town. Dir. TABOR is
building large dwelling house near the
Court House, and Mr.. BALDWIN has just
completed a neat residence on one of the
streets leading to the depot. JAMES
Wharf is putting up new Wagons Shop
back Of the office Of LEE & LEAvITr, and
the Store Of Messrs Cook 81 Poor is be
ing greatly enlarged in depth. The town
seems to be extending towards the depot,
and within the past year or two large
number of residences have been put up
in that direction. Our town seems to be
as well filled up as at almost any previ-
Gus period. and we believe there is
scarcely an empty tenement in IT, This
looks we'll for the times.

Crops.

EE The weather has been admirable
for grain and grass, and the appearance
of both is all that could be desired. The
few days CT cold weather, last week, was
unfavorable for corn, and we learn that
some Of It will have to be replanted, the
seed rotting. There is sufficient time,
however, for this, and the farmers are
generally feelingin the best of humor.
The luxuriance of vegetation in this
country and the rapidity with which it
comes forward, is every year source Of
surprise and of wonder, and makes am
pie amend for the usual dlatoriness of
Spring.
