THE BRInGE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have hoped, but
hoped in vain for two or three years that
something would be done to facilitate
crossing and recrossng our bridge There
Is nothing quite so annoying as to meet
half dozen Vulgar, drunken young
scamps on the bridge, or old scamps
either. particularly when you have your
lady upon your arm. Does our Village
Board care anything about it? Has any
one ever seen them crossing it? Docs
that official department Judicial and ex
ecutivel know that it has the care of the
bridge and can regulate passage over it :?
1t is not only When we meet unpleasant
persons upon the bridge-in it's narro7
passages that we feel annoyance but we
are often interrupted, and put to incon-
venience thereby even when meeting our
best friends. Now let me suggest the
remedy. Let the Board pass an ordinance
baking i Enable penalty, say 80 centsl
for any person crossing the bridge to go
to The left Let them have some such
sign swung UP at each end thereof, as
the following: Fifty cents fine for not
turning to the Right or even. Turn to
the Right" Make It the duty of some
officer to watch, and enforce the order,
and in one week | think no watch would
be necessary. Please think of it gentle
men. Respectfully,
SAMUEL DANE

A CAUTIoN-We. have frequently OBJ
served children, seven, eight and nine
years old, playing in or near the river,
aud have often wondered that there were
no more. cases Of drowning than we have
recorded. This carelessness on the part
of parents is to be censured, and we
should think that the recent sad result of
carelessness, in the case of Mr.. Bleser s
child would be a caution to others. On
SATURDAY. of last week little son of Mr..
Geo. W. Fechter while playing on scow
in the river fell in and but for the pres
ence and courage of a sailor, would have
drowned. We trust this may prove 4
warning to others.

BRIDGES. Samuel Dame does not
like the way the bridge on sth street is
run, and we think he is perfectly right.
It isn't over pleasant to be run against
by dozen different persons in crossing
the bridge, but you are either obliged to
take it or dodge from one side to the
other. How would it be to put anoth-
or bridge across the river on Main street?
that is necessity, in our opinion, and
we wish the subject might be agitated.
We suppose some will object to it on the
ground that there are just few property
holders in that particular part of town
who want bridge, and we know there is.
We know also that these same property
holders will pay money out of their
pockets besides the regular tax. thus
paying for their music at liberal rates.

CONTAMINATED

EDITOR TRIBUNE In article No. 4;
on teaching by "Finney," it is said
1--WE cannot adopt any system of expla-
nation which like some great medical
paaaceo. will prove efficient in al cases. -
Now, to say nothing of the unnecessary
use Cfthe word medical" in this CON
nection, as it is evidently included in
''ponace0" We would like to have Fin
ney, point out such a panocea, or a
medicine that will prove efficient in all
cases, and if successful We will admit
some force to the comparison On a lit
tie reflection however, we apprehend the
fallacy will be readily seen, aud we trust
better selection made in future, as
probably there is not palmer truth in
medical science, than that no panaceas
exist Indeed, SO far from panaceas in
medicine, there are not, strictly speak
ing, even specifies for single diseases.
Again, in another comparison little
further along, to have substituted great
resources Of medical h'sooozedge,'' for
bundle of medicine, as indicating a
preparation to meet disease in any form
whatever, we think would have been
better. X.

Our COUNTY FAIR-As will be seen
by reference to another column, there
was very enthusiastic meeting held on
Monday evening, to consider the ques-
ton Of holding a Fair this fall and we
are glad to state that the prospects Of
bringing the matter to a successful issue
are most hattering. The owners Of the
race course on the South side have kind
" given the use Of that place to the So
ciety, and enough money and material
has already been subscribed by our bus
mess men to fence the grounds. Verify,
we believe that our citizens are waking
up to the necessities of the day, and we
would appeal most earnestly to our farm
ers and manufacturers to lend their aid
and exert themselves tor this object
Without them We can do nothing. and
as it is to their interest to carry the thing
out, we want to see united action on
the part of all who have the best interests
Of our County at heart. There is not
much time to lose, and things must be
taken hold Of Immediately. Let the
farmers interest themselves and come in
to the meeting next Saturday. Let's all
go in and show to our neighboung
counties that zee as well as the rest of the
world have the energy and enterprise to
get up such Fairs as they have, and rest
assured, Manitowoc County will be ben,
Gifted by it. In our next we hope to be
enabled to give Interesting particulars

Our WIsH.-Among the human fam
lily there is class who are eternally
grumbling about something's regular
set OF growlers-and then again, as every
one knows from experience, there is
another class who are constantly wishing
for something. Some wish and long for
riches; others for power; others for
glory; and not unfrequently you find one
who wishes he were an editor, or the
next best thing-an angel OF course
these wishes are sometimes granted and
men get into power: are crowned with
glory, and occasionally some one is un-
fortunate enough to become an editor,
and is happy in the possession of the
title. This is, we suppose, as it should
be, but why the deuce don they exercise
their power as they should? Look at
the glory and honor attending the posi-
ton OF member of our wol thy Village
Board See with what majestic tread he
goes over the sikewalks-now up on
plank that is just balanced, and then
down into hole with one leg up to his
knee Listen to the muttered cussing
as he rubs his skinned shins, and then
tell US, if you can, why we uns'' should
grumble about the break-neck condition
OF our sidewalks when one so high in the
world as a member of our Board thinks
they don't need repairing? We don't
want to be classed among the grumblers
but it is our humble wish that the side
walks De repaired, whether our Village
dlgnitaries want it so or not. Those
sidewalks ought to be put ia order, or
taken up entirely, as then there would
be no danger to life and limb, as is the
case now. VIII they do hiS? We won
