WE find in the Toledo Commercial
of the 14th inst, a report of the Coro-
ner's inquest over the remains of
Henry q. Day, whose sudden death
we briefly noticed last week. Both of
the physicians who were examined,
gave it as their opinion that the de-
ceased came to his death from COM
preston of the brain, caused by an
effusion of blood from ruptured blood
vessels of the brain, which ruptures
proceeded from causes for which they
were unable to account, and the ver-
dict of the jury was in conformity
with that evidence. The physicians
made report of their post naorten'
examin in which they say that ssThe
lungs, liver and kidneys were slightly
congested. Aside from this, they
were in normal condition. The
heart and its appendages were free
from disease" DR.. Aris, who ana.
lyzed the contents of a phial found
upon the person of the deceased, found
it to contain nothing but turpentine

MAYo's NEW BRIDGE.-The work on the
iron structure to supply the place of the
bridge which was washed away by the
great fresh Of September and October last
is being rapidly pushed forward. Two
weeks ago the first blow was struck, and
by tonight it will be open for travel to the
island. Seven spans and great deal of
work on the eighth had been done up to
last night.
MIR. George N. Read, the energetic super
intendent, certainly knows how to build Il
bridge, and he is doing his work we'll.
The spans on this side the island vary in
distances from y to s. feet. This space
is spanned by a skeleton of iron, and
filed in with lumber of the following di-
mensions: tloor-beams, u by IA inches, of
best heart pine, 6 feet apart; the joists are
a by 8 inches, also Of heart pine and feet
apart the floor is of Pinch oak and of the
best quality. This lumber is mostly brought
from North Carolina, but good deal is
being cut at the mill Of the Messrs. Mayo,
Ton the island. The iron used in the con-
struction of the bridge is all wrought, and
the bolts refined, every pound of it being
fully tested before it is brought here.
The iron will weigh about 10000 pounds
per span, and the wood 10000 pounds
more, making the weight of 10 tons per
span. The height Of the bridge above or
dinary high water is about 25 feet.
There are twelve spans on the Manchcs-
ter side OF the island, which Mr.. Read says
he can put up in three weeks, if not him
dered in his work.

The CANAL.-The James River and Kama
wha canal has been repaired as far as the
Iron Works, four miles above Lynchburg,
and boats are now running to that point.
Produce is coming in pretty freely. Travel
on the canal was only suspended ten days
during the recent cold snap, and this, we
are told, is about the average number OF
days in which the boats are stopped during
the winter. Repairs beyond Lynchburg
are being pushed forward as energeticaily
as the nature of the work will allow, and
before great while we may expect to see
boats running its entire length again.
