Iron Bridge.

The Fox River bridge question received .
new and unexpected solution in the city council
on Tuesday evening. The committee on streets
and alleys, to whom the question of repairing
the old bridge or building new one had been
referred. "wlth power to act,' received bids
from two parties for . wooden bridge, and be-
ing unable or unwilling to decide between them,
referred the matter back to the council, who
cut the Gordian knot by directing the com.
mittee to reject both bids and contract for the
erection of an iron bridge! As there was a
party here ready to enter into a contract at
once, the committee seem to have regarded the
opportunity as a favorable one to close up the
business without being again harrassed to de-.
eide between opposing bidders, and made con-
tract forthwith for the erection Of an iron bridge
Fox river at the site of the present bridge
in this city, with the Canton Ohio Wrought
Iron Bridge Company" The bridge is to 0e a
single span, IA feet in length, to be built on
the plan of the iron bridges at Streator and
Lowell, both of which were built by the same
company.
$4,000 to be paid on the completion of the bridge,
$4,000 in 80 days thereafter, and the balance in
equal payments Of one, two and three years.
The contractors agree to commence work i'm
mediately and to have the bridge done in 90
days.
We have no doubt good iron bridge at that
point would be good thing to have, and, in
the "long rum would be the best thing in
point of economy; but in the present financial
condition Of the city, with her entire revenue
pledged beforehand to tho payment Of interest
on bonded Indebtedness, and NO power under
her charter to increase her revenue, it really
Looks like q pertinent and most important in
quiry, where is the money to come from There
are many other Improvements besides iron
bridges that would be very fine things for oul
city to have, but the question of their scquisi
tion ID immensely embarrassed, as We fear this
iron bridge business will be before We are
through with it, by the vulgar question touch
ing tho almighty dollar.

The STICK PIANO'-Watsons Art Jonrna

The STECK PIANo'-Watson's Art Jonrng
New York, gives this testimony:
We have personally examined the Grand Piano
Of Messrs. Geo. Steck Il Co. The tone is broad,
penetrating and expanding .... lit comes firm,
prompt and decided, sonorous throughout, but
full, and ringing in the middle register, and sill
very brilliant in the upper octaves, indeed we
have rarely heard trebel moro sparkling, melo-
dious aud prononee The touch is AZ perfect az
we can imagine; combining ightness with
strength. and giving power witEeut demanding
it from tho player, while yet a;.srdiug delicacy
for every ehade of finger ooloring.
Mrs. Baldwin, in Kneussl's block, is the agent
for the Steck Piano in Ottawa.

CHILD & BRO. did wise thing in thoroughly
stocking up before the fair commenced, for this
week the rush at their store has been Just
tremendous Their stock is the heaviest they
ever opened at one time since they have done
business in Ottawa, and the reason for it is, that
bouts and shoes had fallen in the market from 10
to Is per cent. when they bought, and "went in
heavily" for fear of rise when the fall rush set
in,-a piece of shrewdness which the event JUS
tilted.

Then her cheeks hue with the roses might

Its richrays slow receding
From among the sweet roses softly glide.

SINGULAR PHENOMENA OF THE FOREST
FIREs.-The Green Bay Wis, Advocate says
that the cooler-headed survivors of the great
fires at Peshtigo and other points agree in the
statement that the fire did not come upon them
generally from burning trees and other objects
to the windward, but the first notice they had
oft was whirwind of flame, in great clouds.
from above the tops of the trees, which fell up-
on and developed everything. The atmosphere
seemed one of fire. The poor people inhaled
it, or the intensely hot air, and fell down dead.
This is verified by the appearance of many OF
the corpses They were found dead in the
roads and open spaces where there were no
visible marks of fire near by, with not a trace
OF burning upon their bodies or clothing. At
Sugar Bath, is a clearing four miles wide at
some points corpses were found in the omen
road, between fences which were only slightly
burned No mark Of fire was upon them, but
they laid there as if asleep. This seems to ex
PLAIN why so many were killed in compact
masses. Fences and cleared fields were burn
were killed in the streams.

way to administer government is not to en-
force the laws lest those who violate them may
regard it in the light of persecution!

MORE RADICAL PLUNDERING." The Ok
ford Register has .struck OIL" An enterpris.
ing correspondent of that paper has discover
ed that there is "an Augusta Tammany," and
that through its corrupt agency VIM. B. Lap
ham, brother-in-law of the Governor, has
been appointed to superntend the building OF
the new Hospital Chapel. This Chapel is to
be built under contract by a member of the
Council, who is; also, the correspondent al
ieges, auditor of accounts. Now the superin-
tendent has laid foundation for the chapel
at cost OF thousand dollars which has
proved failure. "Of course" says the Reo-
aSter, the auditor actU make it all fair meath
err" and there will be so much loss to the
State. There's vigilance for you! Not only
are frauds that have been committed dragged
to light, but our eagle eyed Democrats pounce
upon those that may or can be committed

Political Notes

Of the 60 counties in New York 46 threw
Republican, and IA thre W Democratic MAORI
ties. The State outside of New York and
Kings county (Brooklyn,) gave 57,577 Repub-
lican majority. New York threw 2s,5OO and
Kings $500 Democratic MISUNDERSTANDING a
clean Republican majority of 1857.
One OF the happy results of the New York
election is that only fiity-seven Republican
members of Assembly will need be elected
next year to ensure Republican United
States Senator. AS nothing but an earth
quake says the Albany Journal, can prevent
us from electing more than fifty-seven, tha
point may be considered secure.
