The CITY Bridges.

We are Informed that the city bridges
leading to Milan are in very dilapidated
condition. Holes are covered with loose
planks which are liable to be pushed aside;
broken or nearly worn out planks are numer,

bad state of repair. They ought to be at

expended all its funds and got in debt by
its time orders, has no money to repair
them. What is to be done?

Senator Chandler has one consolation
in his defeat. He can lay aside that old
war speech he has been making every now

have to take it out again forever. The
citizens of the state will miss it in the
next campaign, but they will be glad its
author can have rest. There is prob
ably more noise and more ancient history
in it than any other speech ever written.
