KF..MAKKS. There appearing to he a great deal of alarm wi;h regard to tho bridge I will hereto attach a few remarks which I trust will not bo considered by you as out of place. v It is perfectly safe to say that if the wires hail not been on tho bridge all of the timbers would have been safe for two years yet and tho largo majority for live,- for tho, trussing being perfectly 'braced to withstand all strain for which it.is called upon ; hence there is no oc casion to be alarmed at tho face of partial decay and throw away from two to five year's wear. This may seem strange to you after seeing how some of the timbers were decayed but then the fact is that the trussing in a true sense is not a part of the bridgo proper and to suppose that it is liable to give way without you have perfectly sound timber is erroneous, fur the trussing does not add in the least to the carrying capacity but instead detracts just its solo purpose being to stiffen it.

Tho Faster Sunday exorcises given by the Canemah Sunday school at the chapel were beyond criticism, and was attended by quite a number of people. The program consisted of music, recita tions, reading and a short talk on tho meaning ofLaster by the superintendent, liesides a good program the Siindnv school received irreat credit for its elaborate decorations. There was to be seen almost every specie of tlower that could be found. The two chief things that attracted attention was a cross artistically made of moss, and an arch of tho same material decorated witli roses, which entended over the stage.
