of only one sixteenth of an inch. In planning
the bridge provision was made for a strain of
1872 tons, which is equal the engineer informed

NEW LEGAL WoRKs.-We learn that Hon.
VIM. w. Bolster Of Dlxfeld, ex-President Of
tht State Senate, has written a work on the
law of Taxation which will be valuable to mem.
beers of the legal profession, town officers land
even to the general reader. The volume EN-.
braces digest Of the laws relating to taxes in
this aud other States, together with all the
leading judicial decisions with reference to The
same subject. The law of tax titles, on which
Mr.. Bolster is an authority of considerable To-
cal celebrity is treated with great fullness, and
appropriate forms are appended. An appen-
dix containing legal forms will add much to
the value Of the volume, which will soon be
published by the enterprising firm of Dresser
b Aver. We should add that the appendix
will contain detailed description of the du-
ties of town officers, county commissioners and
other public officers and that this part of the

THE GREAT FIRE AT CALAIs.-In his an
nual communication to the City Council of
Calais, Mayor Wentworth thus alluded to the
donations for the relief of the sufferers:
The distress caused to those who had little
or no means left, was greatly aleviated by the
generous donations OF the citizens of Port
land and other communities in and out of
this State. They contributed with an open
hand in the hour of our greatest need. Before
the smoke OF that ever memorable fire of the
9th of August ceased to rise, the citizens of
Portland, through our former wel-known and
most respected fellow citizens, F. K. Swan,
Esq, placed several thousand dollars in mon
ey, subject to your Mayors draft, as well as
large quantities of clothiDg for the relief of
our sufferers. The Telegraph Co. passed mes
sages free, and the International Steamship
Co. brought donations in the same manner.
/ wish them to know that the money and
clothing sent US, by them, went far towards
the relief OF the sufferers. whose prayers they
have. And ], today as chief executive officer
OF this city, and in behalf of my fellow. citi-
zens, thank them for these noble acts of be
nevolence-I trust they will meet with their
reward both here and hereafter.

We think the Boston Journal misappre-
hended the point made by the correspondent
of the Worcester Spy, in respect to the CHIEF
source of President Grants alleged unpopu.
larity at Washington. If we understand the
correspondent, it is not in the want of amia-
bility or Of affable manners on the part of the
President himself, but the airs of the mem
principally among officers-around him. And
If the testimony OF nine out of ten of the firm
friends of Gen. Grant, which comes to us, is
to be relied upon, there is msre than a grain
OF truth in the statement of the Spy contribu-
tor. Nothing would help President Grant
more among the people than a charge to some
