Bridge Collapses-

Last Wednesday, Henry Dickinson started to drive a large number of his cattle and horses to one of his pastures, and while crossing a bridge near the Poulson place, the structure suddenly gave way, filling the ditch, which was ten or twelve feet deep, with cattle. The animals were got out without broken bones, and Mr. Dickinson considers himself lucky that it was the cattle, not the horses, that went down.
