LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Is She All Rightf

Pleasant indeed comes the letter of "Loyelty" from Cornwall Bridge. Alas, for the factsl Poor Cornwall Bridget! It has been said "Pride goeth before a fall. How wisely it could be said that pride remaineth after a fall
 It is true that they have built hall at Cornwall Bridge, and the people of the town upon their request helped them furnish it. Was Loyalty" then so loyal that he did not, like Shylock of old, exact bond for the payment of the money he advanced toward the pub lio improvement he mentioned?.
 How vividly comes to the mind of the people the golden haloyon days of the prosperity of Cornwall Bridge when her teeming furnaces darkened the air with the evidences of business activity. All now is silent and vanished forever. Cornwall Bridge, like the Auburn of Goldsmith, is deserted and forsaken. There is taught to break the stiffness of her atmosphere save the mocking echo of the raven who through the stiffness of time hurls back those prophetic words of despair with their sad ring of truth, "Never more." TRUTH.
