what the Cour,rx Moods

Mr.. HENRY ZELLNER, O this county,
has been known for many years, first, as
bridge builder, and lately as an inyen-.
tor of various industrial machines. One
or two years ago he became very sick,
and 10 recuperate he went off on tour
TO the Virginia mountains, etc. ofcourse
he took notice of the various bridges he
saw ON his route, and his mind set to
work to conceive a model that would
prevent great cost i'm construction Hnd
secure safety and longevity In design.
His health returned, and the re-
suit of his thought aud labor is model
for new bridge, an Improve nent on
the Howe Trestle, in simplicity, dura-
bility and cost. The double trestie, ana
the immense mass of iron rods, charac-
teristic of the Howe, are left out, and a
plain, simple trestle, meeting in the
middle of the span, supports the Bridge,
while wedges prevent wear from yibra-
ton, one of the most potent causes of
decay in bridges. Mr.. u. has applied
for a patent, and we doubt not his

out the length and breadth of the land,
as was the Howe patent in times past.
The first impression of the mind on be-
holding this model, is that the inventors
main idea has been TO secure the greatest
amount of strength with given quaint
ty of wood or weight, and that he has
succeeded. His bridge has two other
advantages over the Howe patcnt, to
wit: It is about twice as cheap, and can
be covered. Tho-Committee appointed
10 build bridge at Willianlsport have
had this model before item, hut they
have made public as yet no report on il.

We have received communication
from young man, advocating the claims
of soldiers, etc., to office. 1t is well and
forcibly written, but all such things
are i'm bad taste. The gallant men he
mentions fought for principle, not office.
We again repeat what we have so often
said, that anonymous communications

heath of Mrs. Mary Guest.

Last Sunday night, about 8 O'Clock,
Mrs. MARY GUEST, died in this city.
For fifty years she has been severely
afflicted, and though she was more than
"A years old when she died, her life was
one of pain and anguish. She was a
member of the Methodist Church in this
place for As years, and never cha nged
her membership during that time.

The Athenaum is setting out i'll its

Seven persons united themselves TO
the Methodist Church last Sabbath in
this place. The meeting which ccm-
menced i'm the NJ. K. Church last week,
continues in progress. The Pastor was
assisted bv the Cumberland and Presby-
terrain ministers, and the preaching lis
tened to by large and earnest congrega-
tions.
We recently had the pleasure of in
speeding the immense hardware estab-
lishment of ANDREWS, MAYEs, STREET

Immediately in the rear of the old one,
forming one complete store room OF
more than a hundred feet. In perfec-
ton, neatLess and thoughtfulness of
arrangement, it is superior to any es-
tablishment of the kind we have seen.
The basement, which is large, well
lighted and well aired apartment, con-
tains the finest production of mans
brain and skill i'm agricultural mechan-
