CAMBRIDGE. April 28, 1876.
To He or not to W ith»t«w the question. Whether it is nobler in the mmii d£ the Government to bear the slings anil arrows of an incftiiaeii and oatra^fli people, or to at once rebuild the Canibridge bridge'! Alas! poor'deluded settlers^ what care the Government for all your puny slings and arrows! Ye must c'en rest 'contented with your pant, till the sun of another summer -shall -shine 'upon you! 'But there! 'I don't see any'difference if you be not content, its all the-same. It is an everlasting* pity that (there nre not ft few more like " Black Turf," I think the bridge Would have been long 'replaced if there had 'been, 'for though the individual in question wants the bridge 'for fe very trivial purpose, viz, for -sending of-el* whiskey to " Molly ;" still, like the spider who spins his web over the vine and unintentionally protects the grapes, we would all be benefited. What an opening there is for some brave -spirit! 'Is there in 'the -whole universe h move persecuted correspondent than If 2&y letters are called " weatherg'ra.ms " bee-insa, forsooth, T chanced to tell yon once ol* twice that the I'ftin -was U nuisance 'If I dale say a word about the bridge beinij re-erected at Cambridge, the ipuko'-imU. people are " down " upon mo at onue ! 9! dread to think of What I would fluff »r if'l wore to advocate 'the construction of the brilige ut the latter place. I am sure Raying alivo would be thought too gond. 'for nn. I see only one clear couive op?n 'to me, that is to udvertiso 'that on n certain day I ivill bo at liberty to receive hint* anil-susjaesfcions for mv Contributions. 'I .ira truly a;i object for pity, there >W so liftln iimvv Look at tlv< Almc-nidm corresp>ndt*nt with Lis nevpr fatlmfr fitock of " ii.itivn news." Wh if obloquy woviUl 'I not bring upon juv devoted bcaJ Were I to talk «of the dain^s of ths Tftmahern, lUatumatft anil Mangatutitarc nativ-esi and yot tlievo are plenty of them no doubt, .md th«y nre vpry sinular to 'the dthers. Thon lioW much is the scribe ftf To Xwamtitu above, mo, with hifs grand agl'icul"tural district t« talk ef, and I live in the poor barren district of Cambridge. £am reluctantly of opinion th.it my effusions will come to be called" Grumhle^rams."

WKATIIfcRdRAftS. Since Monday we have had very 'heavy rain, vritb shott intermissions, and the roads are in oonsequence in a very muddy state. T(vday'Bhe sky has a kindlier look, though we may expect frost.—-Owx Co*RESPONDEIrt.
