D. Clark, and James High, was appointed
to 70 cut upon the Wspsis 10 the vicinity
Of the proposed bridge and look over the
ground. with the view Of: determining The
most feasible place for locating bridge.
They started out on Tuesday, and leaving
their horses ct Stephens Ferry. crossed
over. After looking about . while they
concluded to return to this side asain but
the wapsis had made different arrange
ments-the running ice forbade anything
ofthe kind. They stopped on Tho other
side over night, and the next day being no
more favorable, they hired conveyance to
DsWitt-took the cars ior home via Clinton
and Polt Byron, getting back to town last

wapsie. They visited Stephens s, Nsrman's,
and BennstCs farms-all being within
shoat distance Of each other Mr.. Clark
made no scientific observations for reasons
