Jacksonville and sunnybrook, 10th Die
trict.-The recent heavy rains and the Hood
that accompanied them did very little damag'
in this section beyond washing the roads badly
in some places. The open wooden bridge or
the Jarrettsville pike at Kings wasswept away
and has not yet been replaced. The bridge
over the Little Gunpowder on the same-pike
near Manor Glen, is badly in need of guard
rails on the Hartford side. A lady driving ovel
this structure few days ago made Darrow
escape from what might have been a serious
accident. Her horse lunged and it was only
through her skillful handling of the reins that
the team did not go over into the water. 1t is
earnestly hoped that this matter may receive
prompt attention. A few dollars expended
now may avert an accident that might cost the
company q large sum of money.
