-ALonaon newspaper calls attention toan
Ingenious fraud lately perpetrated int1at city.
It appears that q canard had been put into cir
culation to the effect that the penny pieces Of
1854, issued by the British mint, by some mis-.
take contained large quantity Of gold. The
authors of this statement seemed to have COM
rnenced operations by going about TO the news
paper boys and flower girls and Offering them
two pence or three pence for pennies OF the
above date. The news spread, and these boys
and girls, out of their scanty earnings, began
buying Instead of selling, and the authors of
the deception gradually raised the price, and
succeeded In disp0sihg Of q large n@r, n@",aer NJ
pennies which they had been for some time
accommodating, at prices ranging from six pence
TO shilling,
The bridge now In process OF erection
across the Mississippi at st. Louis Is one OF tne
wonders of the age. 1t is to be tuouiar'
cast steel, arch bridge, supported oy the aout-
ment, and two piers; the latter are 6l5 feet
apart, and 4ss feet each from the nearest aout'
ment, making those spans of about 600 ieet
each. Its greatest span Is the same as that oil
the KuIlenberg bridge over the LecS, an arm
of the Rhine, in Holland. Telford's suspen-
sion bridge across the Menai Straits has span
of $40 feet. The Victoria tubular iron bridge
of Montreal exceeds this greatly In length,
being $500 feet, Zone and quarter miles,) but It
rests upon twenty -four piers, and Its spans are
mainly only 275 feet. The suspension bridge
at Niagara spans s2l ieet, and Is 245 feet
above the water. The East River bridge will
span 1000 feet, at height midway OF l3o feet.

In Havana, many courtesies from Madame
Oyiedo. the heroine of the diamond wedding
In New York, in 1858. The Rev. J. b. Bryant

rich old Cuban. / remember there was great
noise about it Ct she time in the New York
papers. and the vast sums Of money that were
spent at the wedding. Mr.. Oviedo did not
live long, aud his young widow now lives In
his spacious and splendid palace, in all the
luxury Of a princess. We called upon her
Sunday night, 10 thank her for kind attentions
and found her alone with another widow, a
