GONE Our "Jeems' has left us and retired
10 the shades OF his farm near Plymouth. We
were sorry to part with him, because he Is the
best ''type-sticker'' that has stuck ''close
around here" for many u day. But he prefers
farm life. He has passion for cabbages, tur-
nips and sich like things, and has hankering
for horned beasts. We hope he may be blessed
with heavy crops and prosperous herds, and
that he may grow "phat.' We also hope to
hear from him often. Farewell, Jeems. The
boys sigh for thee. They say there amt much
fun without Jim Lambdin. Items, Jim, items.

WORM SYRUP

The presence of worms in the intestInes is in
dictated by variety of symptoms; pains in the
stomach, swelling of the abdomen, picking of
the nose and ears, bad breath, variable appe-
tite, etc. If the worms are allowed to remain,
which is too often the case, death is frequently
the result. Use Mothers Worm Syrup. 1t is
far superior to al other preparations as a worm
destroyer. Being composed entirely of vege-
table ingredients, and free from all nauseous
taste that vermifuge contains, it is q pleasant
syrup that children will readily take, or it can
be eaten with bread.
All worm CONNECTIONS and worm candy con-
tain terra alba, deadly poison, which is used
to keep the corrections and candy from running
together in warm weather. Beware of their
use, and take only Mothers Worm Syrup.

GEORGETOWN, D. g., December 81, 1867
Dear Sir [ have the honor to acknowl-

the manner in which the Long Bridge is beint

state that have examined the plan adopted
by the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com
pany for the rebuilding of the Long Bridge
and | am familiar with the plan of the old
structure. having in the course Of my Official
duties made plans, estimates and reports il
reference thereto.
A comparison Of the two plans shows that
the one adopted (if carried out) will present
less obstruction to the flow of the water than
the cd plan. Beginning at the Virginia shore,
the first four spans will te Of wood each l3l

These SIX spans will bridge the Georgetown
channel from the Virginia shore to the begin

bridge seats. The old bridge over the same
channel consisted of series OF wooden spans
from 10 to l24 feet in the clear, resting on
wooden cribs Is feet in width,)

A reference to the laws of Congress will
show that the act transferring the Long bridge
to the railroad company authorizes them to
build this bridge, provided they construct
suitable draws, SO as not to Interfere with the
free navigation OF the river. In my opinion
the present plan, ifca1ried out, meets all the
