BRIDGES.

Look out for the bridges. The r. r.
bridge IN Connecticut which sunk under a
train last month, thereby destroying in a
fearful manner a number Of human lives,
was thought safe enough by its builder. He
guaranteed the bridge, but no one had
guaranteed his knowledge and scientific
competency as a bridge builder, and so
lives were risked on the death trap he had
bniit, till this spring, the breaking Of sin
gle mill dam, undermined the foundations OF
the bridge, with fatal result
Every one yet remembers the sad acct
dent on the New York Midland railroad

NEW POST4GE FOLLY.

The most foolish act passed by the late
Congress was the new postage law. TIE
agitators of the reform in postage, were
striking principally at Congress in the mat
ter OF the much abused franking privilege
But Congress protected itself as might have
been expected, and took over a million ana
a half from the Treasury, to make up for
the loss Of free postage in their own case
