BENEyoLENcE.-We notice the exhibition of
a very commendable spirit of benevolence by
the citizens of Jefferson, in every now and then
giving donation party to some one or another
of their worthy but moderately circumstanced
citizens While they make glad the heart by
their thoughtfulness and presence, they minis
ter to the comforts ofthe less favored and for
tunate. This is certainly very pleasant way
of doing good. The Sentinel of this week con-
tains a notice of gathering of this kind for the
benefit of SoLoMEN WRIGHT and family Ifthe
exercise of benevolence and the peeuniary and
social remembrance of those whom the Savior
said we have always with us-ift the sweet vir-
tue Of charity is ranked above all in the apostles
catalogue of virtues, then thereissome reason to
believe that blessing is in reserve for our JEFF
ferson friends.

We would call public attention TO the
Notice in lO-day's paper, submitting the
question to the people whether or mol
they will authorize the creation Of a fund
Of $4,000 for the building Of good and
substantial Bridges wherever needed
throughout the county. and. for the pur.
pose Of purchasing any toll bridge hat
may now exist.
This is undoubtedly one Of he most
important propositions ever submitted to
the people Of Nemaha County. The
main feature that makes this one Of the
finest agricultural and manufacturing
counties IN the west is its several large
streams, aaording good mill sites, fine
timber, rich bottom lands and good stock
water. Yet the attendant drawback is
The difficulty Of crossing them, which
can alone be overcome by good bridges;
which, placed along at diGeren. points
where they are demanded by travel, Wall
give US all the advantages without the
drawbacks.
The manner Of raising this amOun is
to be BY borrowing the money on the
credit Of the county, and iauing bonds
payable in from one 10 Ave or seven
years, with interest. This will give US
much needed improvements much
earlier than otherwise. will enhance the
Of property sufficient TO pay The
and induce settlement in the
rOunty which win then help Pay for the
Improvements.
