We find the only bridges coming
within the purview OF said Resolution
4 to- us referred. are the Burch's mill
bridge, and the COMPETING bridge OH
the Attica road. Said bridges should

subsequent time of completion, and
that the Committee of superintend-
encc, w b Young and b civilians,
be instructed TO assess said damages
in both cases, if any, not to exceed
$50 dollars, the said, damages to be
deducted from the reserved payments
on said bridges.

Another remarkable event promises
before long to be revealed fully to the
public. For some time Wall street has
been much perplexed to account for the
steady and continuous demand for and
the advancing price in Tennessee State
bonds in the face of abundant reason for
a reverse movement. Most of the sales
have been by spectators selling them
short 1t is said by shrewd and we'll
informed parties, of the present manip-
ulation, that the amount of shorts is from
seven to ten millions. Brokers general
ly report that they can lend all new
Tennessee bonds they have, and con
slant borrowing demand for them; the
old bonds cannot be borrowed at all, and
many have been shipped to Europe.
Associated with the leading brokers
firms, buyers Of the Tennessee bonds,
are some foreign houses with large
means.
1t is reported that the necessary ar
engagements have been made in proper
quarters to insure the passage of the bill
in Congress to reimburse the State of
Tennessee for its losses during the war,
by the Government paying $4,000, 900
to SIS, 600, 900 in cash to the State, which
will reduce the State debt to $4,000, 600
or $40, 10000 and also relieve it from
all floating obligations. When this is
done, the State Legislature will pass
laws similar to those of South Carolina,
and pay the interest on its bonds in coin.
The profits on this gigantic transaction
will be not less than $4,000, 900, as the
bonds will rank naturally alongside Of
Missouri 6s, at 92l to SO. The consum-
nation of this scheme promises to create
tremendous Wall street sensation.
The Fenians intend to take every adj
vantage they can to obtain footing in
Canada. If the Canadian Government
makes war upon the Winnepagoes, the
Fenians will assist the rebels TO the bit
ter end, and are prepared to do it. In
case the Government withdraws its
troops to assist in quelling the Red river
trouble, then the Fenians propose to
invade Canada with large force, well
disciplined and under capable leadership.

Newspaper Standardization the
People Test their Truth.-This is not
an age when people believe or trust whatever
they see in the public journals. Fifty or sixty
years ago, when the accuracy of statement
that had appeared in one of the gazettes or
4" News Letters of the day was questioned,
it was considered a sufficient answer to all
cayil to say, 1T must be so. for read it in
the newspaper" 1t is not SO now. News
paper assertions must be verified before they
are taken for granted. and this is especially
the case as regards statements setting forth
the remedial properties Of proprietary medi-
cines. For example: 1t was not until the
tonic and Alternative properties Of Hostetter' $
Stomach Bitters had been deliberately and
thoroughly tested by thousands. and found to
be in perfect accord with the printed claims
put forth in its behalf. that it was accepted by
the public at large as a Standard Remedy. But
when mutitudes who had resorted to it as a
safeguard against malarious fevers, cure for
indigestion and biliousness, means Of
strengthening the frame. cheering the spirits
and imparting constitutional vigor, came for
ward and testified that its beneficial effects
had exceeded their most sanguine expecta-
tions, Of course the world believed. To resist
such proofs was impossible. Great care has
been taken from the beginning not to overstate
the merits of the Bitters. Exaggeration and
bombast have been the death Of many prepa-
rations that might otherwise have survived.
They were weighed in the balance and found
wanting" Hostetter's Bitters, on the con-
trary, have never been announced in grandil-
oquent language as a cure for every bodily i'll,
but simply as pure, harmless vegetable spe-
cifc, possessing remarkable invigorating, reg.
ulating, anti-hillous and antiseptic proper
