On Tuesday the N. I. Il North
ern bridge across the Techc, near
Vida, gave peculiar trouble.
Tie bridge was opened to allow a
boat TO pass through; but when
they came to close the span II was
found that the rails had expanded,
due to the heat Of the sun, and
were about one quarter of an inch
too long. This quarter Of an inch
prevented the span being closed
80 the bridge could be used. The
pouring Of water on the rails had
no apparent effect. They had to
be hammered back into place.

if ready to spring at her. Mrs.
Reed threw a small stick at him,
when the animal plunged toward
her. tearing her arm, the lady
meantime retreating into the
dwelling and slamming a door be-
tween her and the dog. The amin
al continued to make frantic en-
deavors to reach her. For over an
hour she was compelled to remain
in the room before she could attract
help by her screams from men in
the fields near by.
At last Mr. j. K Smith respond
