| bridge made which is now well under
| way. Two months ago the temporary
| bridge was carried out by high water, and
| after two or three weeks replaced. Last
| Tuesday afternoon 1t was taken away a
| second time, and considerable damage
| done by the high water to the temporary
| wooden structures on which the stone

again have to go around by Westminster
| or Drewsville for some time, until 1t can
| again be replaced.
