EIGHTH STREET BRnDGE.-As will be
seen by the law published in this issue,
thecity of Manitowoc is authorised to
borrow money to the amount of Twenty
thousand dollars for building new
bridge on Sth street. This is all very
well, but Ii seems to us that our City
faSEers ought to be very cautious in tax
ing such a step.
Our city is under as many liabilities
aow.as it can bear without being 7afiacd
by taxation, and if that bridge must be
built, it viii probably be the cheapest
plan to rebuild it after the old model and
use as much Of the material, as can be
made serHeeable, of the old structure.
which IN the aggregate is worth consid-
cradle and would otherwise be entirely
thrown away.
We know that it would be very desira-
bic to have The new bridge high enough
like that on Main street-so that tugs
can pass through without opening it, but
change in tn grade on both sides OF Sth
street tor that purpose, would alone cost
enough to build good share Of the
badge on the old plan, without any dis
turbanae of the street.
The residents and property owners or
said Sth street. who OF course are most
interested in the manner Of building the
new bridge, would do well to come to-
gether and consider this to them quite i'm
portant matter and then lay their con-
elusions before the Board of Aldermen
1t the:r next meeting.
There ought to be still another bridge
built to connect the city with the Rail
road Depot, the Dry dock, Staye fac
tory and the Shipyard where in a short
time IS much ii 81 ( IS III be done as

sIasqueraae.--A Proclamation.
The ''Freie Saengerbund" beg leave te

The ''Freie Sseneerbund'' beg leave to
notify The flln-loying people of this city,
that for their grand Masquerade on the
evening of the 25th, they have succeeded
IN engaging the world renowned, mystic
rious, Eegyptian Arabic Sorceress Fa-
Nous Sing Song Pitb Eli Bah for the
purpose of procuring some of her mar
velous performances, among which we
viii mention the great feat of metamor-
phosing of different animals into human
beings, and such women and men as are
not satisfied with their external appear
ence into such as they would like to pos
sess. But as we cannot trust her, she
being of Il malicious character, we would
warn al persons, whose mentel notions
may be such, that they have reason TO
conceal them to keep, far enough away
from her, so that she may not put them
into her kettle and boil them over into a
external appearance, according to their
concealed desires. All the mirth and
laughter-loving people are invited to take
part at our festival.
E-ME-FA-SO-LA-LJ-DO.
From the abeye Proclamation it Will
be readily perceived, that there is ssfun
ahead" at that Masquerade Bail in the
Turner Hall on the 25th inst. Our Ger
man citizens, under the leading and for
the benefit of the Ssengerbund, have
made up their mind to have real Ger
man celebration of ''Fdst-nGchf' fhe
night before Lent-the long time of fast
ing and prayer in the Catholic church, =
the day called by the French ''Nardt
Gras" by the English ''.SHrorc Tuesday. -
For that purpose the ladies and gentle
men have united IN devising and getting
up the mos5 laughable performances by
masked characters that can be thought
of, and we really believe that our fun
loving community of all nahonalities viii
be highly Interested and thoroughly
pleased with the various characters there
represented, the innumerable tricks that
Will be played and the pleasurable feel
ings which will there universally prevail.
As the whole entertainment is being
got up for the benefit OF our Sfenger
Bund, a society which has been striving
for many years to educate and improve
musical taste and has given us some OF
the finest classical music ia enjoy at each
one of its aoncerts, we sincerely hope
that all the friends of elevation OF taste
and character in music as well in other
sciences, will aid, to the best of Their
ability, to make this enterprise Of om
fellow-citizens a complete success III
every respect.

IF0LMER-In this City, Sunday Morn
ing, Feb. l6, Of consumption, Jos FIJI
FoLMER. at the age OF 46 years. n
Joseph Folmer has been resident of
this County for nearly twenty five years.
He was born in the Grand Duchy of Ba-
den, Germany, and came here when
quite a young man. He has been a
hardworking and industrious man and
farmer, until falling health compelled
him to become a tavern-keeper He was
respected as an honest man and true
friend wherever known His first wife
died four years ago leaving him alone
with seven children; a year after her
death he married his late wifes sister,
Mrs Scott, then a widow with three
children, who is now again left dcsolate
with eleven children to take care of, the
eldest one being II, the youngest two
years old
|. Poor Mrs. Fulmer has really expert
cnced severe, trials, for within year she
has lost her father, Mr. Whelan and
youngest child, and within a week her
husband and her mother so years Of age
who breathee her last Is minutes after
the large funeral procession, bearing
away her husband, had left her resi-
dence. In him she lost faithful loving
husband, their children kind, indulgeDt
parent; but there is One on whom She
can ever rely, and in whose watchful
care the widow and the fatherless never
trusted in vain.
Mr.. Fulmer was buried last Tuesday
morning in The Catholic burying ground
at Maple Grove, where also Mrs. Whe-
Ian will be taken in accordance with her
personal request
SMITH. At NIanitowoc, Wis, Feb. II.
1873, Mrs. LAURA A. SMITH, wife OF
Capt. Henry Smith, in the 9th year
of her age.
Thedeceased was born in Canada West,
of Scotch Presbyterian parentage, but
lived from infancy, at Spring Valley,
! Rock Co. Wis, where her parents rfter-
wards resided. Two years ago last. De
cember she was married, and for almost
two years had made Manitowoc her home.
July ID, 1871 she united with the 1st
Presbyterian church of this city, on pro-
fession of her faith, receiving baptism;
and so soon after the solemnizing of her
public vows, she has gone from us, to
try in the eternal world, the value of her
religious hope,
To those favored with her acquain-
lance she, at once, commended herself
as a woman OF most substantial moral
worth. To the church with which she
was connected, she showed conscien-
tious loyalty, most expressive of her con
secration to her Savior Her devotion
to her husband, and to her husbands IL
terests and welfare was rich in its pronli-
ses to him of a happiness now utterly
wrecked. Her whole character seemed
fitted to make her a true mother to a
tender infant that can never realize its
loss.
But whatever to loss to her family and
family circle, and to her church, occa-
stoned by her death, her consistent re-
Egious life gives assurance that death
can bring no loss to her. a covenant
truly kept with covenant keeping God
insues against any possible loss and
sueh covenant hers is believed to have
been.

18th, 1873, MARGARETHA, infant child
of Mr.. & Mrs Louis Simon, having
lived only thirty-six hours.
