WALPoLE, N. II.
Work Advanced on the Bridge.

The part of the work in building the
new bridge between Walpole and West
Minister which the town of Walpole was
to do, is now completed with the excep-
ton of the so-called header" and guard
rails, which cannot be built until the
steel is in place.
Both old abutments were removed until
a solid foundation was reached Forms
were erected and filled with concrete
the new abutment being made severai
feet wider than the old. The two piers
were found to be practically intact. need
ing only pointing and topping. This was
done with reinforced cement and the
tops were further strengthened by iron
rods. The false work is all in place
ready Cor the steel superstructure. 1t is
expected that considerable progress will
be made this week in the erection of the
steel work. 1t is not possible at this
time to state definitely when the bridge
VIII be ready for use, but some time
must still elapse ere thar ionged for day
arrives. The ferry has proved a great
convenience and has been picturesque
addition to Walpole's attractions. Only
for the ferry, business relations between
the two towns must have ceased during
the interim between the burning of the
old bridge and erection of the new
bridge.

Time as the great leveler and oblitera-
tor is called to mind strikingly again in
the suggestion emanatng from the COM
mander-in- chief OF the Grand Army of
the Republic that henceforth there should
be one annual national encampment for
all the veterans of the Civil, war, Union
and Confederate. This suggestion is in ac-
cord with the spirit of the times, and
there should be no question of its adop-
ton. Next year will mark the semi
centennial of the outbreak of the war. In
endorsing the plan for complete union
the New York World well says: THE
men who fought its great battles in blue
or gray are now bent with years. How
better can they celebrate the anniversary
and to what better use can they put their
remaining brief span Of life than by fra
ternizing with their old foes around the
same campfire? The old issues that
drenched the land in blood are part Of a
great past in which all have their share
The country long ago decided to let by
cones be bygones. 1t is now the oppor-
tunity Of the veterans to put final seal
of completeness on the new Union which
knows no sectional lines"
