Wire Suspension Bridge.

MR.. HARPER In my official relation,
as President OF ''The North and South Branches
turnpike Ecmpelr, ny attention has ae-n al :
rectly addressed 70 the consideration Of the re-
construction OF The Wire Suspension Bridge"
over the South Branch IN this County This
Bridge was owned ia part by private StOclhold-
ers, aud two-hlhs by The State, whose interest
has been relinquished BIZ act OF legislature 10
The comfy lt originally cost about -, 200, and
Just preceding the war during which il was de-
s,royed' II WIS paving the Stockholders about 8
per cent annually, derivable from its tolls The
towers OF the Bridge, some OF the de5riS and
small sum Of money remain and IL Is The opinion
OK MS worthy President that It's rebuilding viii
fall within FIVE thousand dollars. ! am Of opin-
ION that the completion Of our Turupike from
Cumberland 10 MooreGeld is destined greatly TO
increase the revenue OF this Bridge and If the ex-
perience Of the county in the analogous case Of
the North Western Turnpike Company is Of
worth, II is certain that no more profitable iu-
yesiment Of County Bonds is likely to be offered,
than in rebuilding Of this Bridge u will be re-
membeIed that during the Presidency over the Su-
peryisors, OF my friend A. =. WHITE Esq, he
obtained the passage of AN act Of the Legislature
to authorize the issue Of Twenty Thousand dol
lars OF County Bonds, to be applied and dedica-
ted TO repair and reconstruction Of public works

A DREADFUL PICTURE The letters Of
correspondents from the war in France are
filed with dreadful pictures Of suffering -
One writer says:
"Pont- a Mousson is one vast charncl.housc;
the number Of wounded amount to the e.
normous sum of 5000 in this one town, and
since Sedan CHASTITY trains, filed with from
800 to 1000, come into the town every
evening, some Of these, of course, to get
better, acme to become cripples, some alas
many to die. One hospital (rEgliso Sem
inairc) had an interior which would requitc
an acadcmician should lie paint something
wonderful picturesque but terrible in the cx-
treme. The vast interior has been denu-
ded Of shrinos aud pews and on tho straw,
round tho pillars, on the altar stones round
the altar, lie the wounded Bavarians and
French, the latter three times as numerous
as the former. All the uniforms, blended
with straw as background made most
thrilling scene.
