The Trent RTyEE RAILROAD BRIDGE.--
We are gratitied III being able to state that
the trains, both passenger and freight have
been regularly running over the new struc
tnre since its completion, and have not af-
fected it IN the slightest degree. Indeed,
experienced railroad men say it is the firm
est bridge Of the kind they have ever cross
ed. Apropos of the cost OF this bridge
We stated in noticing its completion that
the entire cost would not exceed fifteen
thousand dollars. On enIuiry we now find
that the actual entire cost. for labor, tools
and material is SO, ;Jt9 %. This for an
entirely new bridge, ST. feet long. And
as Il set OFF to II portion of this cost, the
tools, flats and surplus of timber of an
aggregate value OF nearly 81 600 should
colle off. We venture to say that Mr.
JoSrph j. Robersom has, in this instance,
erected the cheapest substantial bridge ever
iuiit. -Nc,rb. TOnlmerciaL

SMALL Pox.-We are surprised to learn
that some alarm is felt in the country about
the Small PoN in Charlotte. Some six or
clGht cases have occurred in the city among
the freedmen, four or five being in one
family, but there is no danger of its spead-
ing, as the city authorities have adopted
stringent measures to prevent it. and they
now remove all cases beyond the corporate
limits. No white person has had the dis
ease, and there is no apprehension felt in
ihe community about it. There is. not the
slightest Danger in visiting the city
Charlotte Democrat
Superior Court of this County will be held
by Judge Ship, to commence on Monday
The 18th instant. 1t will be entirely for the
trial OF cases of tort only.
Greensboro Register.
HAY.-It is said that hay, which is selling
III Greensboro at 80 cents per 100 pounds
Is bringing i'll Wilmington 81 rs. This is
one Of the many things which shows the
need OF more direct communication with
thAt port Greensboro Register.
