One not familiar with our town might suppose,
from our frequent references to bridges, that the
town. like Venice, was sea-girt islani" sort Of
city on a sea. Indeed we are bless ed, or cursed

Of bridges. We also have a-goodly supply Of terra
md-as the faces feet ami hands of scores of our
healthy dirt-reveling young America wall testify
not to digress from bridges to dirty faces Mr. Perry

The Canal Bridges
Which for some months pas have been in such
condition to furnish suIjeet for bitter and
times unreasonable complaints, are now being put in
such condition as will oblige all croakers on canal
bridges to hunt up another theme on which they may
gratify their morbid, cmplaining propensites.
Three entirely new bridges of good width, built in
the very best manner, ana Of the very best material
now being put up,
With all persons familiar with the facts in rela =
ton 10 the bridges, the company less deserving
Of censure for what may have appeared to some, an
unexcusabe neglect than these chroni; complainers
will allow. we shall prob bly, advert to this b"ct
at some future time in order to show that there has
been but little reason for the censurs which has been
so freely bestowed upon the company While it is a
fact that many cf citizens and business have
suffered much Inconvenience for want Of the lower
bridge il also is fact that they maie less plant
than some of those busy bodies who were actually
benefited by having trade aud travel diverted to-
ward their basiness places.
Thanks.
We are under many obligations to several friends
in different parts of the County who have recently
taken an interest in the success Of the Democrat
which they have mantle sted in pactical business
like by calling the attention of the ir friends
and neghbors the Importance of subscribing for
By the aid of these true friends and by own eff
forts to make paper necessity in every house
hold in the county, we have greatly increased it:
circulation and consequent usefulness since August
last.
Let the good work go on With little effort on
the part of one two persons in each township ou
circulation could be in.reasod at least one third
We would then be enabled to make the paper, il
possible one third better than it is. Democrat
should bear in mind that the success Of our prnci
pies depends upon the knoRiedge the masses posses
of them. This is best attained through live Dem
ocratic local paper we propose to print.
Leaves Have Their Time to Fall, sc.
A few evenings since CHANGED to observe dev
oree of bacchus. who, apparently, had imbibed to'
freely of the " anti-prOhbiory ercitement," whiet
endea voring to hold up lamp post that he wa
graspng in ring embrace, ut in spite Of his effort
be would come to the ground the ground woul,
come to him-he could hardly decide which. Th,
scene was eminenty suggestive, and called 20 our
mind the following stanza, said to have originated
with poet in one Of his bacchanalian reveries. Th
sentiment rather than the poetry is suggestive -
Leaves have their time TO fall. SO have
But the difference 'twixt the leaves AMI mo
Is, that falls harder and more frequently"
