has been taking us to examine the
piers and abutments, which are very
nearly finished, and we find them very
fine in their appearance, as well as cub
stantial in their structure. Such solid
and exact masonry, with such hand
some and regular stone, reflect great
credit on the contractors and builders,
and will be quite an ornament to our
city. The timber for the bridge Is now
