The Illinois River Bridge Company reduced
the toll from % to 20 cents on Monday last. If
the company feel rs the people do that the bill
now before the legislature to make the bridge
free will become law in few days, their action
in reducing the tolls at this time is extraordna-
ry but if, on the contrary, they have inferma-
ton satisfying them that the bill will not be-
come a law, then'is their action timely and we'll
taken. As the bill is to be submitted to the peo-
pie for their approval or disapproval, there is
reason why our representatives should not have
the bill enacted. The reduction of the tolls on
the bridge at this time has significance, but
whether it is for or against making the bridge
free, time alonecan determine The people, how
ever, had better make q note of the matter for
future reference. J..
We cut the above from Thursdays Republican,
in which it appears rs Communication, and
commend it to the attention of the members Of
the Legislature from this senatorial and repressn-
tative district. The movement to make the Hi
nois river bridge free is very earnest one on
the part Of those engaged in it, and they know
that oar senator and representatives can if they
wish it, have the bill passed to let the towns in.
tsrested in the question vote ON it. If the bill
fails, they will assursdly be held to close and,
We imagine, ssmewhat unpleasant responsible.

bitten on Sunday by horse which there is some
reason TO fear was mad Sunday morning Mr..
Dwyre took the horse, usually gentle, by the
halter and led It TO the river to drink. The
horse refused to drink, and became all at once
strangely excited, swapping and kicking at Mr.

bride, thinking he could better control the ami.

the bride ON was bitten about the thumb and

are happy to state, has been invented. At the
