THE PROPOSED NEW BRTDGE.-We observe
! that subscription books have been opened fol
subscription Of stock to this enterprise. We re-
rrct however that the location of the bridge il
designated and fixed at Packer street in Cakes
addition, which must necessarily prevent sub
scriptiOns from the town proper. The river at
that point may, perhaps, be two hundred feet
narrower, but if it were 500 feet il would not be
a sufficient consideration to locate the bridge out
of town. If the bridge is located at that point
the towage of boats will not, of course, be ex-
pectcd, as the boats loaded at our coal wharves
would necessarily have to he towed up TO tho
bridge, which would cost just as much in time
and expense as to take them at once across the
river. The revenue from this one branch alone
would be over two thousand dollars, and would
pay eight per cent on the half Of the estimated
cost of the bridge More than that the bridge
would be only short distance from the North
umbcrland bridge, and what is woracnwould land
passengers and teams in the middle of the mar
rows on the other side. These are only a few OF
the objections that might be urged against fixing
the location at such point.

4 Lesson Misunderstanding from TIauis-
burg to Altoona, says well-llnown physician,
recently, we happened to occupy the next seat
to a lady and gentleman who carried with them
on their Journey what was evidently their first
baby 1t is but fair to the gentleman to say that
he took upon him Il reasonable share of the
trouble of minding the little one. After short
sleep in the fathers arms, it awoke up hungry
and noisy. The baby cried and screeched, it
knew well for what. The mother dandled it,
chirped TO It, showed it the window and how to
look out Of IT, but failed to pacify baby OF course.
At length the father, panied and mortified
enough, turned to Inc and said, 'I'm sure, sir,
baby must annoy you" | replied, ''No; the
child does not annoy me in the least the crying
and screeching, and useless efforts TO pacify the
infant, do annoy me very much. They are all
due not 10 the child, but to the mocH-modesty
Of the infants mother and, suppose, of your
self The child | sincerely pity. II is hungry.
Its mother knows that. And she is so modest,
forsooth, that she cannot nurse her own babe in
a railroad carriage Take my advice, ms a fami-
ly man, and il is this Tell your wife TO nurse
her hungry infant, and get rid Of this silly hum
bug of mothers who are SO modest as 10 starve
their own children rather than let II be known
that they could nurse their babes"
This vas said loud enough to be heard all
around. OF course, the mother listened TO every
word. After 4 few further frutless efforts to
quiet baby by drumming on the window and
few significant winks from the husband, the
roaring young fellow was supplied by his mother
with what he had made all the noise about. He
taught that father and mother a lesson that day
which we expect they will never forgct.--iltoo''d
