Carriages are now passing over It's bridges,

The great bridge OF the Illinois Central,

however, will not run over it before Octo-

Lumber Seizures.

by men calling themselves U. States Tim

they are springing up in every town on tht
borders of our river. They show no ere
Idsntlals OF their authority, but simply seize
upon the RATS quietly floating down the big

! Last week one Of these sharks, possibly
self-acercdited, levied upon raft at RocA
/ Island in the name Of the Government oI
the I. States, but upon the proprietor Of the
lumber paying him one hundred dollars, we
are informed, he released him from further
moiestation. That raftsman was decidedly
serdant for ever paying lin single dime,
as the acceptance Of the proposition proved
the agent" scamp.
Tens Of thousands Of dollars have thus
been Etched from thcs- raftsinen, who are
