The B. i b. RAILROAD BRIDGE
Work on the superstrncture of the new
bridge of the Bucksport q Bangor rail-
road, which is TO cross the Penobscot be-
tween this city and Brewer, has begun in
good earnest. The Z. n. A. Railroad
Company have 'lent" their master bridge
builder, Mr.. Alexander Ross, TO Mr.. Eaton,
the experimenting engineer. and. after re-
ceiving his instructions. MIR. Ross has Or
ganized crew OF picked workmen. part of
whom are employees of the +. & N A. rail-
way. aud others who have been working
with Mr.: Ross on other important bridge
Jobs. The large level field below Oakes &
Sons shipyard in Brewer is the receiving
point for all timber designed for the
bridge, and already a large part OF the
hard-pine and spruce is lying there ready
10 be framed. The four chords of the first
span from the Brewer side are laid out and
progressing favorably. They are l35 feet
long. The next span, LIS feet long, is TO
be of more substantial timber. followed by
a 20O-fOot span OF very heavy timber. The
next span. 1G0 feet long. leads to the draw,
which will set on an iron spider. now un-
der construction in Portland. The draw
is TO be ia feet long. and is followed by
some more spans OF trestlc and open truss,
crossing the T.. & n. A. Railway at a
height of some Is or 20 feet above the road
bed. The carefulness with which Mr.. Ea-
ton inspects every stick Of timber and SUI
perintends the smallest details of the con-
struction and the extensive experience and
ability OF Mr.. Ross in the business, un-
doubtedly warrant the erection of a thor.
Oughly substantial and safe bridge
Wing.

PUNCTCALITY.-We wish managers of
concerts. lectures, and public gatherings
generally would go to Barnum's Hippo
drome and take lessons in punctuality.
Instead Of keeping the audience waiting
for ten minutes to half an hour for the en-
tertainments to commence, the very in
slant the clock points to the hour adyer-
tised for the commencement. the Z ltes are
swung open aud the band starts ON its pill
grimage to salute the flags of the nations
as they are hoisted round the ring. From
that time until the close of the performance
not a moment is lost. One set Of perform.
ers is hardly out Of the ring before an
other is in and the interest is kept up to
the highest point. If the conundrum was
to be asked, ''who b the most punctual
man? = the correct answer would be 'sBar-
num-" and doubtless to this trait he owes
very much Of his great success.-lJournal.
