The two east arches of the bridge over Stony creek, east of Stoystown, in this state, gave way and fell into the water on the 5th instant. This is a very considerable loss to that company, supposed about $10,000 dollars. What is most strange, a young man of the vicinity of Stoystown was on the bridge, went down with it, and escaped unhurt.
We understand the company have taken proposals for the re-building of the bridge. A good road is made round the pile of ruins, by which wagoners and travellers can pass unobstructed.
