Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee Co., NY June 26 1868 LINDEN. The Fourth of July is to be celebrated here by Processions, Declaration, Readings, Oration, Vocal and Instrumental music, a Grove Pic Nic, a Balloon Ascension and Fire Works. W.T. BLISS Esq., of Batavia is the Orator of the day. * EAST BETHANY. A few days since A. HEATH was arrested for assault and battery on Melville HOLSEY, brought before Chas. SPRAGUE, Esq. and fined $5. * Rev. S.C. SMITH of Stafford, is temporarily filling the pulpit of our church. * ALEXANDER. The Singers of Alexander, assisted by singers from North Darien and the Putnam Settlement, under the direction of Mr. M.H. ELLIOTT, gave an "old Folks' concert" last week in the M.E. church. The Concert was given for the purpose of raising funds to finish paying for the new organ. The church was crowded. The Alexander Cornet Band discoursed sweet music. The singing was "tip top," most of the performers being members of the Genesee Musical Association. The concert closed with the tableau, "America." About $50 were realized. * ALABAMA. We learn that the superstructure for the bridge across Tonawanda creek, in the town of Alabama, has been let to PALMER, WADSWORTH, & Co., of Buffalo. It is to be almost wholly of wrought iron; the beams also of iron; the roadway double planked. The bridge is to be of but one span of 114 feet in the clear. Two bridges on the same sight have already been swept away by high water and flood wood. The Commissioners propose to raise the abutments about three feet higher than the old ones, so that the superstructure will be above high water mark and by taking away the pier in the middle, it will in all probability be beyond danger of being carried away like its ephemeral predecessors. The bridge is to be constructed on the trapezoidal plan and so constructed that in case the road way should be burned, there will be no danger of its falling, and in such case or in case the plank should be worn out they could be replaced at any time. The Commissioners have taken much pains to inform themselves in reference to bridge structures, and are satisfied that the plan they have adopted is the best plan of bridge known. * GENESEE CIRCUIT-JUNE TERM.
