Four iniles were traveled, till we came to the clearing where the celebrated Rowland-Cowles duel was fought with mortal results forty years ago, in which the Judge was killed and the Colonel maimed for life.

Notwithatanding its welght, it would have heen a strong, durable bridge had the mialn braces been sufliciently strong. They were not made as large as de- signed, and It was hisintention that they should be strengthened, but his connection with the Company was severed on account of a diference that arose hatween himself and Mr. Stone con- cerning this bridge. He thought that the main braces were the only defective part of the bridge. This was the unly defect that he wns aware of except Its uunecessary weight. fle thiuks it would bave been un exceedingly strong structure had it not been for these de- fecte. Mr. Colline had nothing to do in any way with the bridge to his knowledge. The bridge was calculated to carry & moving lond of from two to three tons to the lucel fvot, He was dictated to fn making his plana for this bridge by Mr. Btone. If the fron had all been good and wronght according to the patterns, and placed In their proper positions, bie thinks the Lridge would have boen perfectly safe. In (e original plan, made by Mr. Tomlinson, the main braces were calenfated to bear a pressure ol four tons to the square fnch.
