BRIDGES AND DRAws-Since the appear.
ance of the article in Fridays issue relative to
the commerce of Back Cove, and the ineonven-
lent construction of the draws in the Grand
Trunk and Tukey's bridges, our attention has
been called to the fact that the draw in
Vaughn's bridge is similar to the draw in
Tukey's bridge; that the draw in vaughan's
bridge was opened and closed 167 times in the
month of June and 10 times in one day in the
month OF July. The amount of travel over the
latter bridge is probably greater than over any
other bridge leading out Of Portland, and the
growth of the manufacturing establishments
at the westerly end of that bridge in Cape
Elizabeth is gradually increasing the travel
Two years ago the City Government contract
ed with the Portland Company for an iron
swing draw for $4,000. The City Government
last year annulled that contract and spent
$500 in repairs, and now the draw is not
much better than before. If a new draw is re-
quired anywhere, certainly it is in Vaughan
bridge

A SIM RI LAwYER.-The other day a gen.

street by another team and both equipages
were somewhat damaged. Accordingly the
man whose team had been run into applied to
lawyer for writ, to be placed in the hands
of the proper officer, to secure indemnity for his
loss. The next day an officer called at the
first gentleman's house and wanted to see him.
Upon seeing him he said, ''Sir, I have writ
against you for injuring another mans team
and was proceeding to read the writ when the
gentleman stopped him, saying, ''thats enough,
L won't pay it." Very well,'' said the officer,
"then I must attach some Of your property or
you must go to Jail" ''Read your writ then, "
said the officer. The officer was complying
when the gentleman ascertained immediatel,
that the officer was serving on him the writ
which he had ordered against the other man.

gentleman living at the North End, has
wife q 10 is fond of "Irish wine" and at time
imbibes freely. On one of these occasions (last
Tuesday,, she cooked leg of lamb with addi-
lions, which happened in this wise: She put
the leg INFO pan and set it in the oven and
turned to get some wood to increase the fire.
Qn the mean time the cat jumped into the
oven.) Putting the wood in. the woman shut
the oven door with her foot and went about
getting ready for dinner. She heard Pussys
mournful cries but could not tell where they
came from. Twelve o'clock came and so did
Patrick. By this time Budgets mind had be-
come so confused that she did not notice any
thing unusal in the pan as she took 1t Out OF
the oven and set it on the table, but lhe nus
band did. can an Bridget wher didht yer

fool. "exclaimed the astonisked and angry man.
SEEKING puss, he hurled it with all his might
at the woman's head, striking her full in the
face and capsizing her completely. His blood
being up he got hold of a stick and beat her
until she was sobered and nearly killed. Her
cries and his Irish oatbs caused the neishbors
to rush in, and go it came out what the row
was about. Com

ham Seminary There is q strong if not nearly
unanimous desire to have him remain in West.
brook another year. We trust be will yield tc
the wishes SO strongly expressed.
But we are glad to see that Gorham Semina-
ry is advancing in the cause OF Education and
increasing its Professorship. 1t is noble in
stitution and merits the largest success It's
commencement occurs this week.
There is some probability that Gorham may
be selected as the place for the Classical School
which is to be established by the Congregation
alists, and for which $4,000 is appropriated.
Its proximity to Portland and yet its quietness
the beauty of its scenery, its healthfulness, and
its general literary character, render it high
ly desirable place in which to locate such an
Institution.
