over tie canal in place Of the old one, and
the work is soon to be pat in execution,
but We regret that it is to be covered
bridge, and the same regret has been ex-
pressed by every one whom we have heard

DIR. Urbano's Exhibition Monday even
ing was we'll attended, and everyway wor-
thy of favor. The distribution Of pre-
miums to the handsomest lady and gentle
man present, afforded some amusement, and
the scattering vote, aside from the lucky
ones elected to receive the premiums,
showed that beauty was not so scarce an
articlei The audience were very much
annoyed by noisy boys, and We are sorry
to say by some who ought to be young
gentlemen. 1t is strange that neither the
pressEce OF ladies, nor the good treatment
due to stranger, nor their own seifrespect
will prevent this disorderIy conduct The
law should be applied to remedy the evil

men subject to draft. Certificates were
granted by the State Medical Board to g.

AN iMrosTEK.-Jairus Jos: elyn, Esq,
of Plymouth, writes US lengthy letter ex-
posing one +" H. Melville Fay" whom he
denominates as :" a miserable impostor"
and humbug, who pretends to be spirit
ualist, but he has been repeatedly exposed
and repudiated by the spiritualists them

count of his operations in Plymouth, they
