MIR. r. F. Wickham informs us that
the 80 called ''free bridge between: this

loaded wagons. 1t appears Mr.. Harris,
the toll keeper, makes the same COM
plant. AS we understand it the irons
and braces are out of place through
shrinkage of the timbers and require to-
be screwed up and frightened. If the
bridge is in the condition reported it
should be somebody's business to put it
in a safe condition.

A little friendly banter ended in a chal-
lenge which in turn resulted in contest

both .'lay down. at exactly the same
moment but Nat claims the victory, be-
cause, being stouter than Font, when
both clay down. Mates body was
higher in the air
