Much complaint is heard because il Is SO much
higher than the one formerly on the spot-a steep
grade on either side being made by this difference
in height.
The bridge is yet to be covered and sided up
with Notwithstanding, which, however, win not
occupy the builders long.
Tine LATE RAISs--The numerous parks and
public grounds OF our city already exhibit the revi
yifying effects Of the late rains The grass Is
springing up finely, and in few days we may ex-
pect 70 behold the trees revealing In luxuriant foil
age. The season thus far Is about month later
than It was last year. But year ago to-day, a
snow storm OF great severity ragged, followed by a
hard Frost which inflicted serious injury upon the
fruit trees, in consequence of their advanced con-
dition From similar injury they are this year for
tunately free-as thus far the weather has been
too cold to promote the termination Of their buds.
INCREASE or ADvERrisSG.-The rapid increase
OF advertising patronage during the present month
speaks well for the business Of the city, and the
enterprise of its merchants and mechanics. BY
reference to our columns, the citizen or stranger
may obtain all that they require in any department
OF trade or manufacture, promptly and economi-
cally.
The Tax SALE.-There was large attendance
OF land spectators in and about the City Hall this
forenoon to witness the sale of lots and improve
ments for taxes in arrears. A very few payments
were made on Saturday--quite small In compare
son with previous years.
Mr.. Roche, the collector, acted as auctoneer,
and the sale was progressing rapidly when we left
the chamber Of the Board Of Aldermen, where the
sale was being had.
DULNEss IN REAL EsTATE.--James @. Mcclure,
the auctonecr, offered for sale on Friday last, at
auction, one of the houses in Uttermuhle's Row,
between | street and Massachusetts, avenue, on 7th
street The house is three-story brick, and in a
prominent situation, and the highest bid which
could be obtained was $4,000.
The owner not caring about selling property at
such a sacrifice, Withdrew the offer for sale.
The alarm of fire on Saturday about noon was
false. The Perseverance Company dragged their
machine towards the First Ward, from which they
supposed the alarm came, but stopped at 18th
street, and returned home again.
PAvIkG.--Workmen are now engaged in paving
tenth street from the avenue up to the north side
of street, and this Improvement will do much
towards relieving that neghborhood of the vast
quantities Of dust which usually accumulate in
and about that spot.
A WNDFALL.--Sergean Peter Clark, of the Uni
ted States Marine Corps, and late Orderly Sergeant
of the Marine Guard at Pensacola, has become
