In Susquehanna county recently the commissioners asked the Dauphin County Courts to appoint viewers for a bridge over the Susquehanna river between Circat Bend and Hal stead. The viewers were appointed and waited several weeks for the county commissioners to fix a time | when they should he on the spot 1 and view the site for the new bridge. The commissioners, however, aban-j dontd their intention to have the state erect a bridge, and have decid ed to patch up an old bridge which has been doing business for almost half a century. An effort will be; made by the* the next Legislature to amend the act compelling the ! State to bear the entire cost of re structing bridges swept away by high water and to put half the cost | of erection on the county. Every town has among its people: ' A liar. A sponger.
