since, new establishment was opened
on Main street, between Monroe and
Union, where credulous parties, for the

&c. The thingprospered. Large crowds
stood in the store day and night. 1t

In an evil hour, to the legitimate busl-
ness, business, forbidden by the laws,
was added. Indecent pictures-photo-

DAMAGE TO THE RAILROAD BRIDGE
AT BRIDGEPoRT.-Quite conmotion
was created at Bridgeport on Sunday,
by the running out" Of Indian Wheel
ing Creek. AS the large masses Of ice
rushed out Of the mouth ofthe creek, a
large number Of anxious and excited
people gathered near to see what effect
they would have upon the new bridge
on the Clevelandand Plttsburg railroad,
which spans the creek. Nor did they
have long to waist, for soon after the
ice commenced running, two of thesup-
ports were knocked away, and floated
down the river. Two others were loos-
ened, but remained In th0ir places. The
damage done was considerable, but 1t
will soon be repaired, 1t has not been

France AND THE UNITED STATES
The Flelch Senate, in reply to the
Emperor's speech in relation to the
withdrawal of the troops from Mexico,
says to him:
Your Majesty informs us that tho
memorable expedition to Mexico ap-
proaches its termination. This is an
nouncins to satisfied France that the
protection of her commercial interest
is assured In avhst and wealthy mar
ket now restored to security. '
Gas regards the United States, if,
from misconception, tho presence Of
the French flag in America appeared
to them less oppertnnc than at a pre-
vious and most Industrious period of
their history, the tone of the commu-
nications made by yuor Majesty, s
Government has demonstrated that
naughty and menacing language will
not decide us to withdraw. France is
accustomed to move only at her own
time. but she nevertheless wishes 10
remember the ancient friendship b, :
tween herself and the United States.

United States is neutrality, and an

"The Presidents speech-in its

which will arrest the attention and
