Within an hour after the notices had- leen inxsi tsi. a steam turesluns outnt inm alotur. and. but for the notices, would have passed over the bridge, with tiie result, doubtless, of demolishing the lrilr' ami proltably causing some loss or life. 1 his bridge 19 in very bnl condition, ami will be reliuilt at once. An approach 120 feet long, at one end of it, : will be constructed wiiilo :t 'JOWWit umiu-.i-h-Ii will Im tiiilt -it the -other end of-it. The Taylor bridge near .Mehaina was-found .in bad coiidMtiou, and hero, too. repairs were ordered. In this citse'ono of the uuiiu t fruiters of the bridge was found broken. ; and as many of the people- going to the mountains from this valley, jutss over this -bridge, it iwjss doomed Itest to make, the reitairs inimcliiately. The till in this case will be entirely re- placed, rock licing usetl in building au abnttmoiit Instead of eapth. thus making the bridge much stronger, and the tlauiaged timbers will be all replaced.

The 'two liew county courts, however, are making common cause, and promise-to place the bridge In good condition sit once, so as to remove all . danger to those of the residents of the two coim ties passing over it. These are a few samples of the bridges to be repaired in Marion county. The program is an elaborate one. and contemplates making im provements wherever nehil. The exwPse of these Improvements will not lc grtat. as the greatest care will be taken to have 110 waste.' but efforts will be made fo place the bridges and the ma.in road In better condition for travel as fast as .possible.
