Several spans of the long bridge over the
Notioway river, in Dinwiddie county, fell
10 the ground last Friday. Four wagons,
loaded with goods from Petersburg, were
on the bridge at the time, one or two OF
which went down with the falling timbers.
The fall was so gradual and easy, however,
that none OF the animals, drivers, or wagons
were injured. The bridge is over 500 feet
long, and forms an important crossing for
the farmers OF Brunswick, Meckleuburg,
aud Dinwiddie counties. Its importance is
such that 1t will have to be rebuilt at once.
