 The Poughkeepsie Bridge.-We are unable to state positively whether the suc-I cess of the bridge enterprise IS assured or not, though the general opinion seems to be that it will be built. The time in which the necessary sum of money was to be raised expired last Friday. but the commit tee feel certain the contractors will extend the time for few days. The balance nec- essary to be secured is only $50, ,oOO, and will without doubt be subscribed in day or two. Hartford will subscribe it's share at once, and the other places from which funds are expected report favorably. A very few days will tell the story, and we think it safe to say the bridge will be com menced at the time specified in the con- tract.-Dutchess Farmer, AprI 25th.
