Our School Difficulties.

EE As the Supreme Court of the
State has decided the School Law uncon-
stitutional, thereby declaring all elections
held under it null and void, the question
has arisen, in many minds, whether con-
tracts made by these illegally elected off
GERS are binding upon the people of their
several districts, and whether all monies
expended have not been spent unlawfully.
Ii is rather complicated question, and
its discussion will be general and most
probably unproductive. II. however,
there is a difference of opinion among our
citizens as to the propriety of such ex-
penditure, there is none as to either the
expediency or the propriety of every ex-
penditure made at the counter of HE'LL
MAN, in the purchase of his cheap and
excellent Dry Goods, Groceries, Cloth
ing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, DC.
The money saved by every purchaser
in go doing. demonstrates the correctness
Of every such outlay.

Another Bridge.

Eg We are pleased TO learn, through
our friend, LEWIS HovEY, of Littleton,
that the citizens of that place and vicin-
ity have moved in earnest for the con-
structon Of bridge over the Wapslpin-
icon River, at that point Through the
energetic exertions of Mr.. MERRILL, a
sufficient amount Of labor and materials
has been subscribed to erect a good sub
stantial bridge, $50 feet long and Is feet
wide, at an elevation of go feet above the
bed of the river. The mud slls, we un-
derstand, are mostly prepared, and a
good deal of the timber now on the
ground The intention is to have the
structure finished by the first of April
We are glad to see such evidences of
energy and enterprise among our citi-
zens. Notwithstanding this has been a
year Of the greatest discouragements, a
liberal public spirit has yet been mani
tested, and the summing up of public
improvements will show greater ag-
gregate this. over any former year. Two
first class bridges have been erected, one
at Quasqueton, the other over the Otter.
Less pretentious ones have also been
thrown over Pine and Buffalo Creeks.
A large amount of work has also been
done upon our roads, and travelling
in almost every part of the county, is
perceptibly easier and pleasanter than
heretofore. These kinds of Improvements
are especially gratifying, inasmuch as
they evidence a population permanently
identified with the county's future pro-
gress. They also demonstrate how easy
it is to surmount difficulties, and supply
necessities and conveniences, when uni
,y of effort can be procured in any com
munity. By laying aside personal pref
crences and prejudices, and CO. operating
heartily one with another. many incon-
veniences, of a public nature, under
which many new communities suffer for
years. might be quickly and readily re-
moved. The experiences of this year
prove conclusively, that if any section of
our county hereafter suffers from the
want of bridges, it is the fault of the peo-
Pile of chat section-inasmuch as the abil-
ity to make such improvements has been
fully demonstrated by the action taken in
the cases spoken of above.
