The stone,work OH the Lacytown
bridge is now progressing rapidly On
Friday morning last, eight feet of the
abutment on the other side of the
creek were mp. The are 16 to Is men
constantly employed on the work,
which will probably be ready for the
iron this month. With their present
force, and one derrick, they can put
up 30 perches of stone in day. From
the appearance Of the work we should
think it was intended to stand for eight
or ten centuries, at least, barring
earthquakes. Mr.. West, who is well
known about here in this connection,
will put up the iron work. In the mean
time he goes to IrvinetoD to put the
iron on a bridge over Brokenstraw at
that point.
The commissioners to select site
for the proposed insane asylum, visited
our place on Friday last, and we're
show around by several Of our citizens.
The Oldtown flats we're seen and ad-
mired by the commissioners, and
should Tionesta be selected as the
place for the asylum, the flats will un
doubtedly be the site thereof. All the
supposed to- be. eligible sites In the dis
trict will be examined before the COM
missioners report, but we believe Tio.
nesta will be the place selected. There
is not healthier nor more convenient
place in the district, at any rate. AS
soon as the report is made our readers
will be informed of the fact.
The Democratic State Conven-
ton, which assembled in Wilksberre,
on Wednesday last, placed in nomina-
tion for State Treasurer, Frank M.
Hutchinson, of Allegheny, and for
Supreme Judge, James r. Ludlow, of
Philadelphia. As far as the charac-
ters of these gentlemen are concerned,
} we know nothing against them, but
the fact that they are on the wrong
side of the house to be elected. We
state the facts thus fairly, although
our candidates, Judge Gordon and
r. w. Mackey have received nothing
but abuse from almost the entire Dem.
ocratic press of the State.
1t will be seen by reference to the
announcements that we have now a
candidate for Assembly. We would
like to say good word for Mr.. ALI
son, but that might deter some other
man from coming out, which would be
money right out of our pockets, and
that's something we cannot afford
in these times of cheap lumber aud
long notes. If, however, We cannot
!. inveigle any more candidates into an.
, nouneing, we'll descant on the merit:
Of our candidate just before the pri,
maries.
Lawrence is pushing his building
up as fast as it is possible for any mar
