In the construction of bridges, culverts and viaducts,!

this variety of pine, excluding tha alburnum or sappy!

Mr. Hoffman in the debate on defalcation*, eemmente
on some unsatisfactory accounts of the Secretary of the;
Treasury in 183.J. Air. Cushman excused the Secretary
o i the ground that the accounts alluded to were destroyed;
when the Treasury building wax burnt down. “When! .
a-ked some member. “ In 1835, answered Mr. Cushman.
“The treasury building was burnt in 1833. and not
1335,” was the knock-down rejoinder. This burning
