An important physiological discovery
has just been made by a young man
namely, that the pulse of young ladies

COMPLETION OF THE BROAD RIVER
BRIDGE. In company with MI. r. W.
johnson, we paid visit, yesterday, to
the substantial structure recently erected
over Broad River, through the instru-
mentality of the citizens of Columbia.
The bridge is what is termed the elm
proved lattice" and is loss feet long.
It was commenced about the middle of
June, 1869, and was actually brought
into use during the rainy spell, and con-
sequent rise in the river, during the
Christmas holideys-a feat which gives

builders. A. Y. Lee, Esq, was the archi-

river, with but single exception, being
in good condition. The "fast land piers, p"

the foundations being granite, and the
upper portion iron. The whole structure
is thoroughly pegged and we'll bolted.
The old bridge was not level-the Lex

heartily congratulate our citizens on the
satisfactory completion of this highly
important connecting link with our
neighbors of the Lexington side of the
river.
