Rock Greek Bridge.-In the Board Of Com
mon Council, yesterday afternoon, Dr. Magruder,
from the select committee the subject, reported
a bill, which was passed. appropriating $4,000 for
the construction of a wooden bridge over Rock
creek, at the western termination Of X street
north, according TO the plan Of Messrs. Forrest
and Dove The mayor is authorized TO contract
with those gentlemen for the performance Of the
work.
The proposed bridge is TO be a single span one
hundred feet, nearly like the bridges over Jones's
Falls, Baltimore and precisely similar to that at
Lombard street, n that city, which has been stand
ing for eighteen years, and which, Dr. Magruder
said, is apparently good as when il was first
constructed. Although the committee say they
had good opinion indeed OF Mr.. Champions tn

SPRING.
By JAMES MONTGOMERY.

By JAMES MONTGOMERY.
Once more the beauteous spring spreads DER the
lawn
Its verdant vesture, gemmed with blooming fow-
ers,
That sparkling smile while yet the dewy tear,
Glittering CLOVIS and feeds the sweet perfume.
Tireless the busy butterfly performs,
His morning calls and fits from bulb 10 bulb;
on resting on a dew-enameled leaf,
To kiss some virgin bud whose modern mien,
Deigns not TO bloom before the rising sun.
High DER the hilltop peeps the god ofday,
And, brazen-faced, cops DER waking world
Admonishing the tardy milkmaids step,
That patient Brnde fingers by the way,
To pay her tribute to the yeoman's store
Sweet snowy tribute, rich with precious cream,
Dstilrd from natures heritage rich and rare.
Adown yon hillside comes the ripping brook,
Chanting its rural anthems 10 the wind,
And dancing through the rocky ravines shade,
Sinks its rude guttra to whisper in the wood.
The birds are up, and from their warbling throats
In simplest notes an orison ascends,
To tie same God who made this globose world,
And gave living life to man and beast.
Sweet minstrels OF the glen and shady grove,
on have Ilingered--listening TO thy song,
When boyhoods spirits light as ambient air,
Led my young footsteps TO some wild retreat,
To muse on natures choicest handiwork.
Ceres has spread along the sloping hill,
Her embryo store of richest treasure
Her well-armed heads Of grain are blowing low,
Before the breeze that bears upon its breath,
The precious odor Of fragrant world.
The listless plough-boy winds his laggard way,
To yoke his beasts and join his daily toll;
Forgetful of his task he cracks his whip,
And whistles nonsense TO the waking world.
OH beauteous spring. how throbs my truant
heart
When meditation turns my thoughts TO the;
How, type Of youth and besuty's joyous bloom,
| Reviews the past and mirrors in the mind,
| A thousand recoections pure ne love,
Ere worldly passions rack'd the human breast,
And made pandemonum Of heart.

horse was slowly proceeding along, when one
of tho empty barrels in the cert 10 which he was
attached rolled out, in front, striking against the
animals legs He gave il kick SO powerful as
TO send il high up in the air, severing the heads,
slaves, and hoops. He had scarcely performed
this feat when another barrel tumbled first chafng
his launches and this caused him to deal with
il as in the case OF its predecessor. Still another
jolted over, and underwent similar treatment.
The driver, with view of putting an end to such
diversions on the part OF the horse, seized him,
not by the legs, but by the head and while he
was holding on to that prominent member of the
animal, fourth barrel bounced of. The horse
again kicked against it in such furious temper
as to snap his gearing and to skin his legs consid
erably Beside, the board in front of the cart was
shvered by the violent proceedings.
twas not until the remaining barrels were read
justed 10 prevent their joling over, that the horse
was quieted, and the driver permitted to proceed
without further damage.
