it steals a gentle thrill at others joy.
The Christmas season carries with it to
the life of after years, the happiest recol-
lections of early joys, and associations Of
the dearest character, and gives lasting
affection for those scenes of early enter

"a The Committee on Bridges" in the
City Council, have advertised forproposals,
TO be received ut the City Clerks Office, un-
til August "a, 1866, "for building an iron
bridge of one hundred an fifty feet span
eighteen feet roadway, and two five feet
foot walks, with railing. Bids to be made
separate for filing and masonry, and for
the superstructure. The plans and specifi-
cations for the superstructure to be fur
nished by the bidders. Tho bids for ma
sonry and earthwork to be by the perch
and yard"
This is the Bridge which has been ordered
to be built on Third street, between the
levee and the bridge over the Miami. We
give the above information for the benefit
of such Democrats as may wish to offer
proposals for the work. 1t has been usual,
heretofore, to publish all advertisements of
this kind in both the daily papers of the
city. We learn from the City Clerk that he
was directed by the "Committce on Bridges"
to publish it in the Journal and German
paper only. We suppose the Committee
on Bridges" have a purpose to fulfil by this
proscriptive way of doing business. All
right.
