SuESANpoAH BRIDGE CoNrASY.-
! We learn with pleasure, that at the
/ Stockholders meeting Of the Shenando-
all Bridge Company at lIarpers Ferry,
{ held on the lst OF August. a resolution
was unanimously passed authorizing
the President and Directors OF the Com
pany to ascertain the increased cost OF
rebuilding the Bridge-occasioncd by
the tlood-and report to special meet
mo of the Stockholders. This. we pre-
sumo. is with a view to further move
ments for the renewal of the Bridge
across said river-and it is a movement
in the right direction-there being nc
point on the Shenandoah river where
the construction of bridge would be
attended with greater benefit to the
community at large CT where money IN
vested in such enterprise would be more
remunerating.
