■ Falling op a Bridge.— An appalling 1 ca

Bridge on Mill street, the main.tboroughfare,-
with'betwepri 400 and 500 people of all ages,'
sizes arid sexes, upon it,’fell suddenly down
with a crash; being broken by the heavy weight
of bumanty upou it, precipitating, the whole,
mass down into the, canal among the broken,
tiriibers. The crowd upon’ the bridge was.
caused by one James Carr, who had been wal- ;
king across the canal from one house-top to
another on,a slender wire, and was about to
perform some grand and lofty, tumbling on the
bridge for an afterpiece. A few resolute men
at once procured ropes‘and ladders arid assis
ted in picking, up the children, while some do
zen or so of stout and courageous,men, who had:
fallen down .with,thejCrowd, kept the smaller
children' and women above water ,by holding
them up. Orie of therii, Mr. John Boss; had
some thrCe or four boys-hariging around his
nock, at one,time, and kept them from falling.!
into, the water, and being, drowned. ,In the
course of about half (in hour every one had been
.taken out by dint of hard work and well di-j
