AccpE,r 20 THE Lone BRDGE. The
Washington Star of yesterday says This
morning. as a large schooner was being towed
through the draw on the Virginia side OF the
long Bridge, the draw was struck by the yes
sci and from - to 30 feet OF the structure
carried away. Gen. Michler was Immediately
notified. and shortly after had large force OF
workmen engaged in repairing the damage,
which will occasion suspension OF travel for a
few days Those in charge Of the Bridge state
that this accident vas clused by the vessel
striking against the piles being driven from
thc railroad bridge aud rebounding against the
draw, aud that very frequently since the piles
have been driven there has the draw been in
danger from this cause.

We again call the attention OF the farmers {
Maryland and Virginia to our
EXCELSIOR,

composed of 100 pounds Ct No. l Peruvian Gu
sno, and 1900 pounds Of Soluble Phosphate OF
Lime. lbones dissolved in sulphuric acid y pot
ash and sods forming tho most concentrated,
universal and durable fertilizer ever offered t.
the farmer combining all the, stimulating
properties of Peruvian Gasno, and the ever du-
rab!e fertilizing properties of Ground Bones.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied IN any
quantity per acre, however small and it Is the
opinion of many close calculating farmers, after
ELEVEN years experience in testing it side
application of lCO pounds of Excelsior is equal
to 2O0 to 80 pounds of any other fertilizer or
guano offered for sale. therefore is fully lc0 to
to 200 per cent cheaper
ED-T THE VERY BEST EVIDENCE WE CAN OF
FEg OF THE VALUE OF OUR EXCELSIOR AS A
CROP GROWER AND FERTILIZER Is THE FACT OF
ITS BEING INITIATED AND CoUNTEHFEITED IN
THIS AND OTHER CITIES.

A Balloon Voyage to Europe.

The notion of an aerial voyage to
Europe has been revived by NJ. Cheva-
ier, celebrated French aeronsut, who
has just arrived in New York. He pro-
poses starting from New York next April
or May. M Chevalier, we are told, once
made the journey from Paris to the Rus
sian frontier, distance of over 700 miles,
iu less than FIVE hours. Upon another
occasion he crossed ST. Georges Channel
from Dublin, and has accomplished,
without injury, several ascensions in
France and Euglsnd The air ship in
which the experiment is to be attempted
is called LEsperanes. Its hight is 95
feet, its diameter l50 feet, and it requires
l2O 900 cubic feet of gas to initiate it.
Attached to the ship is an inclosed car
capable of carrying about fifty persons,
with provisions for ten days voyage.
NJ. Chevalier contemplates extending in-
vitations to several members of the press

Tunnel Under the English Channel.

The tunnel which is proposed under the
English channel at Dover, il is asserted,
will have to be bored through q chalk
formation, and though the actual perfo-
ration will be easy, yet the pressure of the
sea upon the yielding rock will be i'm
mense. In building the Thames tunnel,
the water burst through the roof several
times, and Brunei, the engineer, nearly
lost his life during one of these irruptions
Of the river. 10 the event of violent
storm the danger of break would be
imminent, and the workmen, having to
run several miles to obtain a refuge,
would have but poor opportunity to es-
cape. The difficulty of ventilating such
9 tunnel must prove to be very great.
But, Notwithstanding these serious OBJ
jections, three eminent English engineers
have pronounced the plan 10 be feasible,
and the estimated csst, forty-6ye million
dollars, to be reasonable.

A Pretty White Girl and sooty Negro
on their Bridal Tour.
From the Cleveland (0hio) Plaindealer, jan

From the Cleveland (ohio) Plaindsaler. jan
A strange couple arrived at Cleveland
from Erie, on the Lake Shore road, on
Saturday evening, exciting the disgust
and intense curiosity of every passenger
on the car. It comprised sooty, greasy
negro, and pretty white girl, whom he
had married the day before at Erie. The
girl evidently felt great deal of shame
at her situation, for she kept herself
doubly vailed, and looked out of the car
oil the time Her "Othello, however, was
all passionate tenderness and attention.
We have learned the antecedents of the
pair, which we lay before our readers On
Thursday a tall, gaunt, very black negro,
about forty years old, registered at the
Morton House, Erie. as William Lind
sey and wife, Ohio" He requested the
landlord to give him the best room in the
house, as his wife would arrive on the
next train and join him. His "wife T" not
putting 10 an appearance by the next
morning, he went to Oberln after her.
1t happened that the girl-Carrie Brown
by name-however, was en- route for
Erie, to join her lover, and the train that
he was On passed hers. Arriving at Erie,
and learning the state of affairs, Carrie
remained at the depot till evening, when
Lindsey returned from Oberlin.
They went to the hotel and asked to be
shown to his room. The landlord asked
the negro if the lady with him was his
wife. He answered in the affirmative.
The landlord then interrogated the lady,
who was a beautiful young Irish girl
She said they were not yet married.
The two we're then told that they must
produce certificate of marriage before
they could occupy room together,
whereupon they called upon the Rev. Mr..
NuttiDg, of Erie, and were married. The
girl said she came from Boston, Massa-
chus0tts, and that she had been living in
the family of Prof Allen, of Oberlin, and
attending school; that she there met this
man, her present husband, William De-
Lancey, alias William Lindsey. He says
he is Wesleyan Methodist preacher
Prot. Allen knew of her leaving to marry
the negro, and was in favor of her mar
risge. They left Erie on Saturday
morning for Oberlin. The bride is a
very pretty girl, and was we'll dressed.
She says her parents live in Boston. She
has been in Oberlin since October last.
The girl is about eighteen or nineteen
years of age. Delaney wore tall
hat, and carried cotton um.
