IlIiuois River Bridge.

The town Of farm Ridge at her annual town
election on the 9Th inst, voted 5000 INSTEAD

ing the Illinois river bridge free. This makes
$4,000, of the needed $4,000 to purchase the
bridge. Fall River. Grand Rapids and Deer
Park, which were expected to vote $4,000 more,
took no action on the subject.
Here, we presume, the matter will sleep. OF.

needed sum to free the bridge, win probably nm.

visors could tighten the burden for Ottawa,
should she agree to assume $4,000 more, by levy
ing tax to pay the interest and create a repair
and sinking fund, on other towns, but there is
no hope Of securing any such action from that
body.
We spprehend, also, that the indifference in
Ottawa on the subject is tso great to hope for
any further earnest movement in the matter.
Yet there are reasons why Ottawa should not be
Indifferent. We are anxious to get manufacturer

CoxMrrTED.-Among the committals to the
county jail during the week was one Robert
Fields, of Henry, on a charge Of larceny.
Fields came up to La Sale on the c. R. I.xP.
n. T., and on the way he and Chicago runner
named Hoyt having cold feet, took off their
boots and hats and sat down near the stove to
warm up. When the train reached La Sale,
Hoyt being nearly asleep, Fields hastily put ON
Hoyts boots and hat, which wore new and
stylish, leaving his own which were soiled and
worn, and decamped. Hoyt walked up in time
to comprehend the situation before the train
was again in full motion, followed the thief and
had him arrested. Esqr. Forrestal demanded of
him $500 bail for his appearance before the cir.
cult court, which not being able to give, Fields,
is licked up to await his trial.

You cannot walk about Paris without being
struck with the fact taat no Parisian, man,
woman or boy, ever walks step if he or she
can ride, and this they all do at low rate, and
at q nice leisurely pace, thanks to the system
of omnibus service. You can so from any
given part Of Paris to any other point, provided
always that you do not mind constantly chang
ing conveyances, and passing the intervalbe-
tween arrival and departure with about forty
other people, in room ten feet square, and
heated BY stove 10 the temperature OF me-
Ion frame. The extent to which this system
OF locomotion is patronised is really extraordl-
nary, and will account for the following omm
bus statistics =: The company works forty y-nlne
lines, and the total distance run over by the
various vehicles daily is 20, OFT kilometres five
eighths Of mile each.) The longest journey
is from the Louvre to Courbevoie, 1850 metres,
and the shortest from tho Placo des BelIevilc,
$500. The points at which the greatest num-
Der OF omnibuses pass every day are the Place
du Chatelet, 2S72; Place de Ia Bastilo, 2622;
Palais Royal, 2559; Porte st. Martin, 1G92.
