The state institution for the Deaf and

this is not over ne-tenth the entire number
in the state. The annual session begins
with October, when all pupils should be ad-

at no expense except for clothing; and in
case of Indulgence, certified to by the county
Judge, the child is furnished with clothing at
the expanse of the county from which it

Mr.. Gillett is anxious that all deaf and

be sent to the institution, and be sent at the

THE LATE STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT AT THE
RAILROAD BRIDGE.-The accident to the
steamer Dubuque, at the railroad bridge on
Saturday morning, draws forth the following
from the Davenport Gazette:
"The very serious accident to the fine
steamboat Dubuque, on Saturday, as narrat-
ed in another part of this issue, will anew
direct public attention to a necessity for the
removal of the existing railroad bridge at
this point, at the earliest practicable period.
1t cannot be denied that the present location
of the bridge is an exceedingly unfortunate
one, especially for high stages of water. 1t
is only by the exercise of the greatest skill
of the pilot-a skill resulting only from long
practice-that even boats of medium size
can be safely navigated through the bridge
piers at high water. When larger boats are
| used, as they ought to be when the channel
| is deep enough to allow their passage at 9th
er points, the difficulty is very greatly in
| creased. Indeed, such accidents as that to
the Dubuque will happen as long as the
present bridge remains. Fortunately, no
lives were lost in this instance, but the es-
cape from fatal results was so narrowly had,
that it can only be contemplated with awe.
What if the hull of the Dubuque had been
broken into by the conclusion with the pier,
and a score or more of lives had been lost ?''
Well, what if they had? Scores of lives
have already been lost there; numerous
steamers wrecked and utterly lost; hundreds
of RATS broken up; the river strewn with
merchandise, grain, furniture, the debris of
steamboats,, and dead bodies, and, for ten or
dozen years we have been warning the
public against this dangerous obstruction.
ALI this time the Gazette has insisted that it
was no obstruction at all.
We are glad, even at this late day, that
the Gazette has changed its course and now
exhibits some sense on the subject, ICON
templating" the dangerous obstruction with
| save" The bridge is and always was a
dangerous and unnecessary obstruction to
navigation, and most stupid piece of en-
gineering, and it ought to be removed.
The Gazette closes it's article as follows
'In view of this accident and its dread
| possibilities, we have fresh reason for con-
graduation in the action of congress in vot-
| ing the recent appropriations for the removal
of the present bridge, and the building of a
| new structure in a locality where no impede
| ments to navigation can result. 1t only now
remains for the railroad and bridge compan-
| les to heartily and promptly accept the terms
| prescribed by congress, and at once enter
ON the building of the new bridge. The
| saving to the bridge company in the matter
of law suits for damages to boats will, in it.
