Der Co, which was recently hung from
the second pier of the railroad bridge
from the eastern bank to point OPP

broken, Saturday, by the strain
brought upon it. 1t parted just below
the road bridge, merely swinging
around, however the end being Sc
cured at the saw MILL The food is
disappointing to the steamboat people
here, especially to Captain Partridge
its agent, who has recently had tenn
porary structure on the pier started
Work had been fast getting on, when
the overflow came, and not only
stopped work on the wharf, but, the
captain says, will make it very doubt
full if the boat will run here by Tues
day, as scheduled.
The river has fallen considerably
and nothing is feared, unless a great
rainfall and thaw should follow.
