Born with Teeth.

Some time since Mrs Carl Kimble,
ofNo. A Kinael avenue, gave birth
to twins. The doctors who were in
attendance ut the birth of the babes
noticed that they were exceptionally
large and well developed. Greatly
to their surprise. upon examining
one of the twins it was discovered
that it possessed two large lower
front teeth, which are at least an
eight of an inch in length and per-
tectly formed. The teeth are of a
pearly whiteness, and look as natu-
raj as those OF child or 8 years
old. This is q rare occurrence. and
asimilar one has never been recorded
before. There have been cases where
there was one tooth when single
child was born, but never before when
there were twins.-Cincinnati Enquip-

ANOTHER BRIDGE
CONNECTING BELLAlRE WITH WHEELING THE
LATEST MOVE on FOOT.
Surveyors Selecting Suitable L3caiion-A New
Manufacturing Industry Looking for
Site In Wheeling.

IL seems that the bridge mania is on
in Wheeling. aud the West Virginia
metropolis will soon bee so intimately
connected by bridges with the Ohio
side of the river that we may decide 10
adjOin the little State over the river TO
the coming State of the Union. as faras
progress and prosperity is concerned.
The latest report, and the report
seems 10 be well grounded, is that an
other bridge is contemplated across the
beautiful Ohio river, leading 10 Bellairc.
A reporter while wandering through
the southern precincts of the city a day
or 50 ago ran across several surveyors
working along the river bank.
OF course they had no business except
their own aud they knew nothing about
what they were doing. but little quiet
inquiry developed the fact that they
were surveying for a suitable location
for bridge across the river at that
point. 1t is understood that this idea
was suggested by the immense travel
that is done between Bellairc and
Wheeling. and the great disadvantages
experienced In reaching the two cities
either from the one or the other.
The idea is that a bridge across the
Ohio river at the upper point of Bogg',
Island. landing ON Gravel Hin in Bell
aire would be vast benefit TO Bellaire
rs well as Wheeling. and that the
scheme would be a paying investment.
Wheeling merchants have been in
tcryicwcd on the question. and they
have unanimously declared that such
a bridge is just what they want, and
Bcllairc people say they want IT,.
Wheeling merchants have announced
that they will take stock in the new
enterprise If it is puton foot, and the
gentlemen who are al the head of the
matter sec that such q bridge would Dee
q paving Investment. as well as result
IN untold advantage both 20 Wheeling
and Bcllairc. Ii is probable that the
Bcllairc bridge will not be- a thing Of
