JENNINGS BRIDGR.-The work of cree ting
\ new structure on the site of Benning' s
Gen. Michler, Superintendent Of Public Build
ings, is progressing finely, and 1t is expected
that by the last of this month it can be us ed by
travellers. The bridge may be said 10 bs an
entirely new structure, and from the manner
IN which the work has been done, under the
supervision OF MAJOR Lubey, the structure
Will doubtless last many years. The old piles,
which on examination were found to be per-
tectly sound, We're sawed off below low water
mark and morticed for the stringer from
which the trussle work rises
Since the old bridge has been removed, par.
ties have crossed and recrossed by boat run
by one OF the hands, who was left IN charge,
but last week parties crossed by walking over
s piece of timber. 1t is alleged that on Satur.
day with bis boat, this man dropped the
stringer, compelling the public to patronize
his boat. The case has been reported to Gen
Michler, and it is likely the man will be dis
charged.
