The travelling public last week were
put to great deal of inconvenience by
the removal of the stone dam bridge, to
repair the dam that was carried away in
the spring by the neglect of parties lum-
bering in that region. 1t appears that
the town of Bloomfield pay Perkins, John
son Co., (the owners of the dam,) for
the right Of way over their dam and we
are of the opinion, such being the case,
that when repairs are being made on said
dam, that way should be provided to cross
the stream. Notices should be put up at
Island Pond and Bloomfield village, of the
bridge being up, which will save travel
and expense. In the absence of such no.
tice, little civility would go great way.
We understand parties have been put to
some trouble and expense by said bridge
being up and think of looking to those
concerned for damages.
There has been great deal Of specula-
tion since the survey for the contemplated
railroad through this part of the country,
as to which side of the Connecticut river
it will be built. Bloomfield means to go
ahead in railroading and starch making,
and not feeling inclined to wait for the
grading of the proposed road, caused a
locomotive to be drawn into town Sept.
18th by 32exen. There was some difficult
ty in getting up steam, which impeded
somewhat the progress of the train, but
Notwithstanding the roughness of the
road and mishaps by the way, it made
good time, and in five hours (without loss
of life OF limb,) completed the entire
route of two and one-half miles. The To-
connective had patent wooden wheels,
maze expressly LOT Tile Journey, puC INC
selectmen of the town seem to, be of the
opinion that before the like takes place
again it would be well to have track
laid, as it took two or three days to re-
pair the roads. The locomotives resting
for time in our starch factory, but soon
will awake from It's slumber, when its
shrill whistle will greet the cars of the
BaoomGeldites.

in my own case:
The last spring was soro afflicted with Sciatic
Rheumatism, suffering night after night and all

They never are idle. Their great
numbers already regulate the wages
in California, both in the kitchen

troll cigar. making, boots and shoes,

vast improvement on the Caucasian

There may DO seen daily, on Chest

even Liebis knew it better. His
occupation is the mixing and the
adulteration of liquors. Give him a
dozen casks of ~deoderized alcohol,

represent the name of a genuine

Sense in Shoes.
from scribner for september.l

Everybody has heard the old story
of how Canova chose five hundred
beautiful women from whom to
model his Venus, and among them
all could not find a decent set of
toes. If he lived nowadays, what
luck would be have under the dainty
little laced bootees, with their high
pointed heels? As 500 as the help
less baby can put its foot to the
ground, and before 1t a complain
in words, shoes r put on it, by
which the width of the toes is con-
tracted fully half an inch, and u.s.
ually a stiff counter is ordered in
the heel with some vague idea of
STRENGTHENING the ankle" From
that time, no matter how watchful
or sensible its parents may be in
other regards, this instrument of
torture always constitutes part of its
dress ; the toes are forced into y mar.
rover space year by year "to give a
good shape to the toot," until they
overlap and knot, and knob them
selves yer with incipient corns and
bunions ; then the heel is lifted from
the ground by artificial mean ; thus
the action of the calfmuscles ia
hindered and the elastic cartilage of
the whole foot stiffened at their ear
Hest tender period of growth. The
results are a total lack of elasticity
in the step and carriage (American
women are noted for their mincing,
cramped walk), and q foot inevitably
distorted and diseased. We need
not go to the statues of ancient
Greece to find of what beauty the
foot is susceptible when left to its
natural development; our own Indian
can show us. We have seen the fout
of an old chief, who had tramped
over the mountains for sixty years,
which for delicacy of outline and
elasticity could shame that of the
fairest belle. Southern children are
more fortunate in this matter than
those in the North,a 10 it is customary,
even in the w%ealthiest classes, to al
low their feet to remain bare until
the age of SIX. If shoes of the pro.
per shape were insisted upon by GUS
toners, the dealers would speedily
furnish them. Nothing is more
prompt than the reply of trade to
any hint of O new want or fashion.
A shoemaker in one of the inland
cities made a fortune by advertising
shoes of the shape of a chiId's foot.
He counted on the intelligence and
good sense of the mothers, and was
not disappointed.
