LOCAL MATTERS.

IHECk~MATEDt-lN NO Ut three WcpkS since
some four or five cnterprising citizens Of this
place conceived the brilliant idea of getting up
nm entertainment of some description on the oc-
casion Of the approaching Anniversary Of our
National Independence. For this purpose one
of their number went to San Francisco. where,
as he thought, he effected an arrangement with
Mr.. Mcclure, for the Hanlon Brothers-the
acrobats who have created such sensation in
the Bay City by their wonderful gymnastic
feats. On the return Of the agent, citizens
meeting was called and active preparations
made for the celebration Of the Fourth, and
singular enough, the names Of some Of those
interested in the show were placed on the Com
mittec of Arrangements for the celebration, ,and
we are assured by those who profess to know,
that the programme was tn be so arranged as
not to allow the patriotic demonstrations Of
our citizens to interfere with the performances
of the acrobats. In fact we were to have moth
ing like a good old-fashioned Fourth Of July
celebration, but merely give out that VIC would

ded, and instead Of hiring out his acrobats,
concluded to send them here on his own ac-
count. AS soon as this fact became known to
our enterprsing showmen, they determined to
prevent McGure's troupe from performing
here on that day, and with that view have leas.

lot in town, of sufficient size to spread the can

inform them that they have been chcck-mated.
A lot has been procured, of ample size, and in
a central palt of town. The celebration will
take place, and after we have marched in pro-

PULLED DowN.-Some time last night, the
frame which Messrs. Rich & Styles have been
putting up near the further end of the Pine
street bridge, and intended for sash factory,
was partly torn down, and the structure pretty
much destroyed. The plates were sawed off,
and the bent next to the creek was pulled over.
The structure was commencedupon theground
formerly occupied by the old bridge, which be-
longed to the city, and the Town Trustees had
protested with Messrs. Rich & Styles against
going on with the building, and finally COM
menced suit against them for obstructing the
road. The case has been sent 10 the Court of
Session; but the work on the building was con-
tinued, and last night some ono took the law
into his own hands and pulled it down. There
are several good reasons why the building
should not be put up at that place. 1t endan-
gers the bridge by fine, and obstructs the view
Of teamsters coming into town, which is ObsO-
lutey necessary as the bridge is not wide
enough for teams to pass each other. There
has been much i'll feeling on the part Of our
citizens against Messrs. Rich & Styles, fer
persisting in going on with the building and
the Trustees have also been blamed for not
getting out an injunction or adopting some
measure that would stop the work.
Since the above was in type we learn that
it was by order of the Trustees that the frame
was torn down. Having tried all mild means
To prevent the erection Of building at that
point, without effect, they adopted this course
to abate the nuisance.
BOARD OF SCPERvIsORs.-A special ses-
sion Of the Board Of Supervisors was held on
Monday, and number Of orders made, the
most Of which were of no general interest.

Peace for Bloomfield township, in place Of W.
Andrews, resigned and having filed his bond
was qualified for the discharge Of the duties of
the office. S. Slusher was appointed Road
Overseer for District No. %, and VIM. S.
Frink for District No. 3, in place of former
ppointees who had failed to qualify. Ac-
counts were allowed on the special fund,
amounting to about five hundred dollars.
