which we can unhesitatingly ask the vote of

ed in them. Altogetherit is II strong ticket,

A BRIDGE SMASHED Last Tuesday evening
as Mr.. David Il. Michaels steam thresher was
crossing Bynum's Kun, on the Bel Air and Hick-
DRY road, the weight of the machine crushed the
bridge down into the water. The horses were
startled al the creaking of the timbers aud start
ing suddenly pulled the machine over upon the
solid ground before the bridge fell. The bridge
upon examination was sound to be very defective
and not worth repairing The County Com
mssioners have adopted the judicious course of
building only iron bridges ON much used pub
loo roads, and the same principle, we hope will
be carried out in this case The cost of an iron
bridge is little more than wooden one, while
the saving to tax payers in repairs is very great.
Iron bridges have been found to be much more
economical than wooden ones.

against this source of danger 1t is asserted
that a number of buildings are being erected
in the county in which very little precaution
is taken in plastering between the flues and
woodwork This matter should on no ac-
count be neglected. Insurance companies

Tue DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIEs.-The interest
felt in the Democratic nominations was sufli-
cient TO nring out II vote Of about 5000 in the
county. Not single disturbance of any kind
is reported, and the election was conducted
quietly and fairly. The greatest interest SEEM
ed to centre in the contest for the sherItfalty
and for County Commissioner in Dublin and
Marshalps districts. The latter had no less
than seven candidates in the field. The princi-
pal candidates for Sheriff were Messrs Hughes
and Walker, both popular men, either one Of
whom would make an acceptable candidate on
the ticket and good Sheriff when elected. -
They were SO nearly matched that only 43 votes
decided the contest in Mr.. Walkers favor. Mr..
Chenworth, the third candidate for Sheriff,
made an active canvass and received IL hatter-
ing vote.
The returns were made to the Executive Com
mlttee on Tuesday, who announce the result
elsewhere.
Some disappointment is felt, but the unsuc-
ccssfnl candidates generally take the matter
good humoredly, and some of them have ex-
pressed their determination TO pick their ints
and try it again. Every one of them, we are sure,
will have the manliness TO support the ticket
cheerfully. Such course will win for them the
respect of their party and perhaps its favor the
next time. "
