leadership of Capt. Bill Dunbar, working with n
creditable zeal in The good caHse. One OF the taes
Fillmore poles in the city raised thursday
ing the hill between Main and Locust and Second
and Third streets Pretty we'll up towards the apis rests
the image of sanity Shanghai looking Eastwardly
though watching the Council fires of the big wig
at W ashngton. sort of Union Jack floats from
the masthead, and just under the feet of his Shanghai
Majesty, hangs long slreamer with ''Filmore and
Donesou' emblazoned thereon The flag itself though
very handsome one rather small for the siz of the
pole.
Capt. Dunbar is exerting himself TO have the big gun
ready by the I5lh for the Henderson Bari ecue and is
to pe hoped that contributors will aid and encourage
hn by orking over, without delay the amount of their
subscription. at least sufficient amount to enable hun
to make the second payment. which is now due.

building substantial arched bridge deep
slough at the upper end of town, above Mr.. Nurre's

he of resisting the strongest current tht will be
brought to bear against it.

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Kratz is progressing
with his little craf with fine prospects ahead. She has
beautiful model, sits the water like duck; her
guards the graceful eurvenear sweep of the North
River steamers and altogether far at pre-.
sent judge will perfect fairy craft The Com
modore proposes to have her skimmng the waters
in week, probably in time to do good business oh
the day Of the Henderson Barbecue.
OF course everybody's going to the Barbecue, and
the cheapest and most pleasant modes of

barbeeuel besides the additional inducement of all the
great men of the nation We hope the "Sportsman''
and the ferry will both do fine business on that
day.
