BoARD or SUPERVISE next regu-
lar session ofthe Board will commence on
Monday, the Sd Of June.
We desire 70 urge upon the attention Of
the Board the necessity for the construction
Of substantial bridge over Otter Creek, ct
Otterville. The up-river road il extensively
used By four townships, and the bridge Ct
Otterville is Of far moge importance to the
people than some others already authorized.
But they are all important. 1t ought to be
remembered that the Ottervillc bridge has
never received county aid, but has been sew.
eral times rebuilt by private subscription.
The very next food will carry il away.
We would also urge the necessity for .
new, decent and servicable jail. Every des-
peratc criminal manages to break ont ofthe
miserable hen coop used for Jail, and il is
a standing subject Of ridiculc for strangers.

TaE new city pound has been we'll patron.
lied during the past week. One Of the ag.
grieved gentlemen whose porkers had been
in the habit Of poking their probosces into
the gardens and front yards of the neighbors
without fear Of City Marshal or hot water,
but whose recklessness finally led to their
incarceration, late one night removed por.
ton Of the pound fence and drove out bis
hogs in triumph. The triumph, however.
Was Of short duration, for on the very next
day he Vas compelled to pay the cost Of re-
pairs rs well as the regular poundage. Il
doesn't pay TO attempt defiance Of law in In
dependence.
Liberty i sweet, and worth swimming for.
So thought eight Of the "pound" porkers
who took TO the river from their enclosure
and swan the pond on Tuesday. They re.
ceived the cheers Of crowd Of lockers on,
but their adventure ended less promisingly
than il began, and where il began-in the
pound.

TnE impression is abroad that the propo.
sed military company is for service on the
plains. If so, it will doubtless go out under
Nasty for the purpose Of concilating the
lordly monarchs who amuse Themselves by
scalping women and children and killing OF
stnge drivers.
The design is simply to organize a con.
pany Of honorably discharged soldiers for
the pleasure Of drill and soldierly intercourse.
A good military company is always a credit
TO any town-indicaies that life and energy
which gives character TO western towns es.
pecially. The expenses inciden. to the or
ganiza,ion will be light. Arms and equip
ments viii be furnished by the State.
