WISCONSIN BRIDGE.

AS orr citizens have a $4,000 interest
IN the Wisconsin Bridge, we give them a
few items raating to the same. The town
Of Prairie du Chen loaned its credit to a
Company to aid in the construction Of said
Bridge--the Bridge was built, but the said
Company could not pay the expense Of
building, and placed it il the hands Of the
Contractor, S. w. Hall, 70 pay himselffrom
the tolls; with the understanding that he
should make stated reports of the amount
received therefrom, and when a sufficient
sum had been realized, that the Bridge
should revert to the Company. The Com
pany have brought suit in Circuit Court
against Mr.. Hall for the violation Of con-
tract, as alleged by the Company, in failing
to account for moneys received by him, and
petitioned to have the contract annulled,
the Bridge placed in the hands Of Receiv-
er, and Mr.. HsIl made to account for all
moneys received by him. The Court has
placed the Bridge in the hands Of Receiy-
er, who is under $4,000 bonds for the
faithful performance Of his duties, and the
suit is now pending Crawford County
Courier.

WHARF.-The Wisconsin, estimates the
wheat crop Of this State at thirty millions,
or thirty seven bushels for each inhabitant.
In England the yield is but five bushels to
the person. In 1850 the production Of the
U. S. was one hundred million. la 1860
it is one hundred and eighty million, or six
bushels to the person. The home con
sumption is four and d half bushels per
month; leaving only about forty-fye mil
lions for seed and export. Seeding will
consume twenty millions. OF the twenty
FIVE millions surplus, Wisconsin will proba-
bly, furnish four ffths, or twenty millions.
illinois will spare fifteen million. 1t is be-
iicyed that the States will have more to
spare this year than ever before, and that
the demand for this "royal grain" will be
as great as ever, except perhaps, the fam
inc years Of Europe. Wheat is found grow
ing wild in India, California, Oregon and a
few other places on the globe, but the ex-
act place Gifts nativity is not known. Like
many plants and fruits of the earth, it is
doubtless native Of many countries.
