Yesterday morning, about half past six
constructed by the Portland Ken. Railroad
Company over the river in this city, was
carried away. The logs were running quite
freely all the afternoon Thursday, and crew
of men was detailed who labored ali the af
ternoon and throughout the night, to keep the
logs from doing any damage to the temporary
structure, but the logs accumulated in such
large numbers and pressed against the frail
supports of the bridge with such force that
the second span was carried away. The lum-
Der comprising the span was saved and towed
up the river by the steamer Clinton. Two
spans of the temporary bridge had been con-
structed for the purpose of transporting stone
to the piers and upon which to rest the new
iron bridge while placing it in position. The
breakage will be Immediately filed and means
taken to prevent any further damage to the
bridge.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.


Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series Of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs AS a pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
crabc, still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders Of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
toraI they subsde and disappear
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy car
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat OF
lungs, take the same course.
For WhoopinO Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
raj on hand to protect them, in case of attack,
irom the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
FISK, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep in your houses
may be saved by 1t.
90 generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here, or do more
tan assure the public that the best Qualities IL eve,
| possessed are strictly maintained.
