Almost all of it is second or , third growth of timber, and contains a groat i many thrifty saplings from five to Ion years old, that, if cut, will only put back the sub- j sequent crop of wood to many years. Silas Ilrown, oneof the best fanners in Massachn- I setts, says in a recent communication in the New England Farmer, that he has boon in ( iho habit of cutting wood for maitvi-l for forty years as one of the most profitable ; productions of liis farm, and that he has ! paid cmicni attention to tnc succeding | growth. "At the time of removing the old growth, young whito pines had sprung up, 1 and had advanced in nil sizes, from one foot | up to some twenty feel in height on some i of my lo!s ; 011 other lots there was was no nppearancc of young progeny. We were very careful to save all the young trees possible, instead of indisotiminale haVoC. The advantage of saving the saplings will ho readily discerned by every practical wood- 1 grower ; tjio young trees, enrefullv preserv ; ca irorn injury while cutting ott the old growth, will soon take a start and ho in ad- j vnnce of the forest, which is to spiing from ; tfie seed, some five to fifteen or twenty , y^ars. This advance in the growth is no small item in the farmer's income. On lots i where none of these young saplings had taken root, 1 hnve been careful to select suitable seed-trees of the Vrtiieties I wished to promulgate, and spared one or more on every acre I wished lo replenish with a future giowlh.

This is valuable testimony from an intelli- ; gent farmer, who has scon the working of , both methods on his own wood lands,? ' Tho care of our forests, so rapidly wnning j in nil tho older States, is a matter that can receive nucnuon none too soon. Tho time is not distant when they will he far more 1 valuable than they no<v are for timber, if , not for fuel. Fuel we may indeed find else- 1 wbero, but nothing can ever supply the place of wood in many of our manufneter js. The farmers of the present day should consider the wants of posterity in this respect, and should hand down (heir f^rms to their j neirs as wen wooucu as incv received (hem ; from their fathers.

The* fall was doubtless I owing to the heavy weight of snow imposed , upon the flooring and cables of the bridge, j As vou approach tho site of the bridge i from Ku?le street nothing can bo seen but the sign warning persons ngninst crossing the bridge Castor than n walk ; nsingularly useful precaution at this time. The iron towers ?ire broken and shattered, and hardly one section remains upon another, and the wrock of matter is as perfect as it possibly ? n l\ft On tho west bank the south cable has given way at the flnohorage; on tho eaftt Vjnk tho north cable ban cjiven way at the nnchornga, KhcIi set of cables consists of one main cable, stiriounded by nix smalfer ones.

The "long rods" bave nt ibeir ends "dead eves," ibrougb which rods passed lo transmit the pressure to tHo masonry. In each of ihe five remaining cables theseroils bnve given \tny .leaving the "dead eyes" unb'oki o. The masonry appear* but Utile disturbed, though it may have yielded even hill slightly under mound, nnd thus i have been lhp real cause of the tumble. The iron, however', docs not appear to have been ! of proper strength. The floor of the bridge, tioin either part to the towers, lies at length upon the ground, every suspension rod hnv- j ing given way. Ketwccn, the lowers the 1 flo'QiiiJg and cnbk'H are cr.ush'x] between the t he .batiks, the wood b??ving Honied on, and tIjt* iron probably is awnltiog a suhni\iino djver. ll is eveiy way n total and entire loss, and the $'28,00?> altondy expended are lot ever "gone up." Tim (ienesee Suspension Ihidgc was j .commenced in 1S35, and finished last sum . j ivter. Mr. His>ell was the engineer and the iUossro. Uolyjnnd* the contractors. Tho'l "bridge was consti ucted between iron towers s'.nnding on the banks. The towers .ire built of cast iron cylinders, bolted together, and standing one above I he ether.

Our opinion is thai i!'e iron structure was defective and insufficu"' It has failed of its j)Urposo most miserably. The entire weight on the bridge, calling it TOO feet long and '20 btoad, and making an area of 11,000 square feet, could not have been, supposing ' the snow was one foot deep and veighgd 25 pounds to the cubic foot, over 175 tons. The bridge was calculated to sustain a ! weight of 2000 tons, and it was claimed that the iron wires were capable of sustaining such a mass. But they have cracked and broken under a twentieth of the weight, and the whole concern has gone to utter ruin.
