HIGH WAGRs.--We understand that the
hands at present at work on the bridge get
IS per day. This is high wages, but con-
'lderng the cold weather as well the dan.
ger, none too high. Cold as the weather
mas been, the consequent solidity Of the
ice has been great help to the builders of
'he bridge, making all the operations al
most as easy as if they We're conducted on
Terra frma. In fact the good fortune at
tending the great enterprise has been near
" uniform throughout. When low water
was desirable, the river remained for aperi-
% much longer than common at an ex-
"emeiy low stage, and if the builders had
arranged the matter themselves, it could
not be in better condition than it is now.
The construction Of the turn-table will be
commenced in short time, and it will not
DC long before we will have the pleasure
0l chronicling the passage of the locomotive
ever the first Railroad Bridge on the Mis-
sissippi.

PLFAsANr WEATHER Yesterday was
one Of those pleasantly cool, sunshiny day .
occasionally interspered to give variety to
an otherwise disagreeably cold winter. The
mercury spproximated within 10 degrees of
zero in the morning, but the warm rays Of
Old Sol, so soon as they began to come
asksnt to US from the far west. caused it to
expand into the more temperate regions OF
the thermometer.

tains View Of Davenport, and one OF the

ing descriptions were forwarded to Leslie by
J. GILLErT. Mr.. GILLETr has number of
copies on hand at his Book Store, which he
will be pleased to dispose of to those who
wish to see how Davenport looks in the
mos, popular Of the illustrated weeklies
Looking at the matter from business
rather than an artistic point of view, this
method of being still further introduced to
the people Of all parts Of the country, can
not fail Of being beneficial to our city. We
have long since passed the point when we
would have considered such expedients as
at al necessary, yet we will not repulse any
further advantages that may result from
them. Mr.. GiLLETr deserves credit for his
enterprise, and we hope that he will not
lose any thing by the operation.

corner Of Fourth and Rock Island streets.
A narrow bridge there spans deep gutter

On Tuesday evening a teamster, not aware
Of the location Of the bridge, drove into the
ditch and was obliged to leave his wagon
until Daylight enabled him to discern his
way 10 better advantage. As his load was

operated upon his vision as to have caused
him to discern second bridge, as certain

however, with our friend, who in returning
from church on last Sunday evening, drove
