! dent Of this city, who has been in lin.
gering illness Of about two years. dura
ton, died in this city on Thursday. He

sumption. He was coIored citizen,

THE CoSGARRE BRIDaE.-We are
pleased to state that Lexington and
Richland arc again connected at the site
of the Congaree Bridge. The accom-
plishment of this scheme ia due to the
worthy enterprise of DR.. J. L. Neagle,
and the mechanical execution OF Mr.. E.
W. Mercer, Agent of the Watson Manu-
featuring Company. The bridge is not
sufficiently advanced for the accommoda-
ton OF travel, but the trestle-work ad-
joins the other shore, and we have every
reason for believing that the entire work
will be finished in short time. While
speaking on this subject, we would sug-
gest to the Doctor that he have the sides
of the superstructure 30 improved that
there could be no danger of the precipi-
tation Of either man or beast into the
river. To leave the sides open, as is con-
templated in the plan, would. expose
both pedestrians and eq1estrians to the
danger that we have referred to.
